Yancey House Restaurant

Has anyone been to the Yancey House Restaurant over in Yanceyville?

Yancey House Restaurant

I live in Yanceyville and I%26#39;ve been there on a few occasions. The atmosphere is set up to be reminiscent of years long past: the rustic decor, waitstaff in coveralls. Although the menu is definitely Southern, most of the dishes are much more flavorful than what you would find in a country kitchen-type restaurant. Yancey House has been a great asset to the community. For the most part, the ingredients are locally grown and fresh, and the owners display artwork of local artists on the restaurant walls. There is occasionally live music on the pavilion as well.

Overall, I can recommend the Yancey House as a great place for a date, or even a business meal. However, I wouldn%26#39;t recommend taking younger children. The menu, although it includes children%26#39;s dishes, is not particularly child-friendly and the set-up is certainly not child-friendly.

The Yancey House is well-worth the trip for lunch or dinner, or a special occasion. There menu is posted on their website yanceyvillage.com. I don%26#39;t know what the other reviewer was talking about, ';waitstaff in overalls.'; (They are all dressed very nicely.) I%26#39;ve been five or six times, and have never been disappointed by the food or service. Good beer and wine selection, great atmosphere. Great for dates, girls day out, work events.

I particularly like it for lunch. The salad bar is very fresh and scrumptious and can be stand alone or included with an entree. Very high quality and interesting lunch entrees for around 10 bucks. Courteous and skilful service. The restaurant is set in a genuine 1805 residence and the artwork throughout (for sale) is interesting. About 40 minutes from downtown Greensboro, up U.S. 29 and west on Hwy.. 158.

Just wanted to update one of the posters on the restaurant which opened 3 1/2 years ago. We have evolved a bit since some of the earlier postings.

Located in central Caswell County (county pop. 25,000), Yancey House Restaurant %26amp; Gallery offers dining in an historic, relaxing, and inviting atmosphere. The c. 1807 home was the residence of early 19th century Congressman %26amp; educational reformer Bartlett Yancey. Visit our website at yanceyvillage.com.

Truly a destination restaurant, guests visit from outlying communities to savor dishes with a Southern ';awareness.'; It has been featured on Bob Garner’s PBS show “North Carolina Now” and in the June 2009 anniversary issue of Our State Magazine. You can find at reprint of the article at visitnc.com/journeys/…6

As the chef, I adjust the menu seasonally, working closely with local farmers to provide only the freshest produce available. With my husband Michael, I tend to the kitchen herb garden and raise produce in the raised beds next to the restaurant as well as on her farm, Two Turtles.

Inspiration for the dishes comes from our Texas and Louisiana roots, the local farming community, and from the slow food movement, an eco-gastronomic movement that celebrates living the slow life with food.

Recently, the Yancey House Restaurant was named a finalist for outstanding casual dining establishment in NC in the “Best Dish in North Carolina” Contest (…state.nc.us/markets/…casual.html) sponsored by Our State Magazine and the North Carolina Department of Agriculture.

The award was given not only for the four outstanding dishes submitted but because of our work with local farmers and her efforts to grow herbs and vegetables used in the creation of her dishes.

Why were these posts originally done in 2007? Are we running a little advertising here?

I didn%26#39;t think so . . . I was concerned that the information on the first posting was dated and incorrect. A guest from the restaurant pointed it out to me and suggested I bring posters up to date.

Look at the posting dates of the first three posts.
