The Farm, at 17 South

"This is my family's go-to spot when passing through Tappahannock on our way to family or the NNK. Great, fresh Southern fare. Despite visiting on the Sunday after Thanksgiving, I had the freshest salad with sweet red ripe tomatoes."

"Wonderful dining experience. Fresh and fast. Don’t forget about this gem in Essex County!"

"It was delicious! Everything was amazing. I had a salad and burger, my daughter had the steak."

"The Farm, at 17 South is a mandatory rest stop on highway 17 south headed towards Tappahannock, VA. A hidden gem of a five star ⭐️ cuisine tucked into a small restaurant. The atmosphere is eclectic with little knickknacks hanging on the wall that adorns this establishment. The staff was friendly, professional and courteous as I looked over the menu. I made my selections and before I could sit down the food was ready to go. I didn’t mind a walk around to stretch my legs or if I wanted to eat inside the restaurant or dine outdoors on this gorgeous pre-summer day. As I tore through my yummy lunch, I knew one thing for sure is I will be back for more. If you’re headed South on 17, check out The Farm, at 17 South you will not regret it. And your stomach will appreciate the amazing farm fresh food."

"Great place for a nice lunch break. Small menu but very delicious food. They have tables on the porch or in the garden. It is lovely sitting here enjoying good food and watching the lizards."
