Restaurant closing - The Homeplace in Catawba VA - A staple on the Appalachian Trail.

Adults $14 for two meats $15 for three. Ham roast beef chicken.
This was a fueling station for the trail, a great place for people to talk while waiting, and this place was run by really good people.
Over many years my table has picked up several checks for tables of people who clearly came off the trail.


'We sadly have been hit hard’: The Homeplace Restaurant in Catawba closes indefinitely

Phones are ringing off the hook at The Homeplace Restaurant in Catawba. But after this Sunday, and 38 years in business, there won’t be anyone picking up.

The family-run business made the tough call to close for the rest of the year, making the announcement on Facebook Monday night.

“It’s very hard," said general manager Kevin Wingate. "Again, we don’t take it lightly.”

Management cited the coronavirus pandemic and its impact on local businesses, saying, “We sadly have been hit hard.” Efforts to reopen inside dining with social distancing measures in place weren’t bringing in enough business, according to management.
