Briar Patch Marketplace & Cafe

"Great food nice atmosphere. Little pricey. Soup flavor was thin. Cubano one of the best I've ever had. Would eat there again"

"My daughter went and had lunch here on Saturday. It was busy but staff was extremely productive so you didn’t even notice the amount of people. We were also pleased that they had a singer playing her guitar for us. It was very nice. I would definitely recommend this place. They never disappoint."

"We visited for lunch on a Saturday. The cashier was very helpful with the menu and describing what they had to offer. All of the staff was helpful! Their bathrooms were clean. We enjoyed the tomato bisque soup and pimiento cheese grilled sandwich. It was very delicious. They first brought out a regular grilled cheese but when we pointed out the mistake we were quickly provided with the correct sandwich. They have a lot on their menu I look forward to trying! Once you eat you can proceed to the marketplace and browse everything on offer. Lots of antiques and some new items. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed a conversation with the cashier where he inquired about who we were and why we were visiting. Will be going back again!"

"Was in town chauffering a friend's step son to General District Court. No visitors allowed in the court room. Had my pal Shell with. Was incredibly hot & humid that day. After waiting for about an hour, we decided to try to find breakfast. The Briar Patch showed as being very close to our location in downtown Galax. I've visited subsequently, as well. Initially, we both ordered the homemade biscuits. Shell got biscuits/gravy. I had a bacon, cheese, egg biscuit. I also ordered an iced mocha latte. They actually have an espresso press on site! Coffee was yummy. Breakfast was yummy too. A tad expensive for two people. At 10am the place was popping with business. The marketplace is quaint with all sorts of antiquity trinkets & treasures to be found. I will add that my next visit to the Cafe was not quite as good. The bacon man can grill bacon for me, anytime. Just perfect! The espresso was a little bitter on my second visit and they were out of biscuits by 10 am. I did have sourdough toast with my order but it's just not the same. This spot is located right on main street. Definitely. a favorite cafe of the locals or frequent court visitors. There is indoor/outdoor seating available. Go early, the fluffy, homemade biscuits do not last til brunch. If you're in the area browsing shops or visiting court, definitely worth a trip!"
