Live to Ride...Ride to Eat

[Offroad]

EmptySea asked about restaurants in my area....he mentioned a pretty well known one I had forgotten about called the Log Inn. I had been their 20 years ago, but it's like living next to any famous place, you take it for granted.

Here is the official web site: http://theloginn.net/

I ventured there this week and the first thing I can say is make reservations...the crowd and wait time was big and long. They only take them for 13 and over on Fri and Sat....2 or more Tue-Thur.

I learned from a life long resident while waiting it used to be a dance hall.



Luckily they do have a bar if you need something to pass the time during your wait (ours was almost an hour).
The mugs were very thick, cold and frosty!



Except for the crowd, you'd never know it was some place special. The inside is full of antique things but it was too crowded to take pictures.



It's famous for it's "homestyle" meals which brings bowls of side dishes to pass around the table. Unfortunately for me, almost all were "carb" rich...mashed potatoes, gravy (both brown and white), German fries, peas, corn, etc

The chicken is very crispy and good, but still all that breading is loaded with carbs.

Appetizers included a hot cheese tray which was different, all deep fried.

It's very close to the intersection of I-64 and US-41 near a couple of truck stops for cheap gas.

Price about $15 each...one word of warning, they only take checks or CASH....fortunately they have an ATM in the waiting area.
