The Bad Apple

"Had a great night with my wife for her birthday. The food was excellent! The appetizers were very tasty. The dessert was so yummy! The drinks were a bit small but good. The service was friendly and quick. If I were to find something I would change, it would be the lack of signs to show you where to go. I guess it's set up like an old Speakeasy where it's supposed to look secret but this leads to confusion that starts from the entrance to the long driveway with no sign for the restaurant, to parking which is not labeled, and even the entrance to the building is not marked. When you find your way inside you have to figure out that the restaurant is upstairs as the entire first floor is very nondescript."

"My boyfriend took me here for a birthday dinner and it was wonderful, from the ambience, service and food! Our drinks were delicious, the complementary cornbread with fresh apples was great. My boyfriend got the chefs special (duck!) and I got the Apple prosciutto chicken on the waitresses recommendation. The restaurant has a 20's theme while remaining classy. A very nice experience!"

"This was a great fine, for are get away in the mountains. Going down the dirt road to find the place is part of the fun. The staff is great so nice. We started upstairs with conversation and cocktails. Moved downstairs for a great dinner, I had the shrimp and grits, something that I would never order but wanted to try some thing different and it was like WOW!! Everything was so good if you can try it."

"What a wonderful gastronomical oasis. The Bad Apple is right at the center of Pembroke, VA. Don’t be mislead by the humble farm outdoor scene. We knew we made the right choice to come to this place from the moment we stepped inside. The hostess (Knuckles) was super welcoming and was able to take us to our table immediately despite our arrival 30 minutes ahead of time. Our server (Zach) was eager to make great suggestions from the menu. The menu was filled with sophisticated variety of dishes tantalizing our pallets to a great dining experience. From appetizers and main course to drinks and desserts, the whole evening was beyond phenomenal. Thank you. We sure will be back!!"

"Loved driving way out on a farm and having dinner in a barn disguised as a speakeasy! The idea was one thing but the execution was better! The food was very well prepared and the menu hosted many unique dishes to try from. This is a place you don't go and jyst have dinner but you have an experience!"
