The Home Place's reputation at Virginia Tech is well deserved. In fact, Hokies hold as much reverence for this place as they do for Frank Beamer's goiter or Tyrod's braids. For those who aren't aware, Virginia Tech held the #1 spot for best campus food in the country in 2007, and even back then I was hearing people talk about the Home Place. The fact that students would actually leave campus to eat at the Home Place aroused my suspicions. I was starting to get the hunch that this place had scrumptious vittles.
Awesome placemats, btw
Even if the Home Place did not serve heavenly food (this is Bible country after all), the sheer quantity that they throw out you would make it worthwhile. After your wait (ours was about 15 minutes at 5 pm on a Saturday), your server will ask you whether you want two or three meats. Pay the extra dollar or two for the three meats; it's worth it. After that, you will be flooded with so much corn, apple butter, beef, fried chicken, and green beans that you'll think you've died and gone to DollyWood. Even the pinto beans are good. The PINTO beans. The only beans blander than Jay Leno taste absolutely unbelieveable at this place. If that doesn't convince you to eat here, then may bad luck and extreme misfortune infest your pathetic soul for all eternity.
