Looking for a good place in between Blacksburg & Nashville
We are planning a trip to Nashville and our original plan was to stop for a night in Chilhowie, VA at the Town House, but it's closed 
We are looking for a place to stop along the way for a night where we can get a great meal and stay at a fabulous place. We will be taking 81S & 40W. Price is not a factor.

Try the buffet at Butcher Block BBQ @ Exit 307 in Stephens City. Just down I 81 a few miles at New Market is Southern Kitchen serving outstanding country food for breakfast, lunch and dinner at Exit 264. Harrisonburg has quite a few fine road food places convenient to I 81. I suggest you consider Jess' Quick Lunch or Little Grill at Exit 247. The Village Inn is very nice also at Exit 240. Staunton is just W of I 81 and a very nice town also. It's home to Mrs. Rowe's country food breakfast, lunch and dinner and Wright's Dairy Rite. Lexington, VA has a number of good restaurants like Bistro on Main for lunch/dinner, Macado's for sandwiches and Sheridan Livery Inn and Restaurant for lunch/dinner. Lexington is the home of VMI and W&L U. It's a beautiful town a few minutes W of I 81 and worth a visit. Home Place is a great restaurant several miles W of I 81 W of Roanoke at Exit 141 serving outstanding country food, good fried chicken and deserts in an old home. Just E of Lexington at Exit 188AB Frank's for the Memorie's is a great place for good road food with great outdoor dining. Roanoke has quite a few nice restaurants but they are mostly in town.
Get off I 81 at Exit 150B and go E to Highway 11. Turn left and go N a couple of miles to Pomegrante Restaurant for outstanding seafood and steaks for dinner.

Blues BBQ, Fork in the Alley for pizza, burgers, sandwiches, Harbor Inn Seafood, Hollywood's Restaurant and Bakery for lunch/dinner, The Roanoker for breakfast and Wildwood Smokehouse BBQ. In Christiansburg just down the road a piece is Dude's, Due South, Farm House and Summit. All are very good places to eat. On S on I 81 in Wytheville, VA stop at Smokey's BBQ at Exit 70 or 73.

Janet, I think you would really like The Loveless Cafe. It's not close to The Hermitage, probably a 30-45 min drive as its just west of Nashville, but you could combine it with a trip to Belle Meade Plantation, it's about 15-20 min west of that. The Loveless is a down home cooking place that would be great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Their biscuits are to die for and pick up some jam while you're there. Their fried chicken is really yummy too.
Pancake Pantry, just off the Vanderbilt campus, is an institution. You should expect to stand in line at least 20 min, virtually any day of the week. I wouldn't go there on a weekend, probably an hour of standing. Very good breakfast.
