Robinson Ferry Restaurant & Spirits

I can only echo the many other comments made about this restaurant.  This is by far the best restaurant within 30 miles and rivals the better restaurants in Raleigh.  The service was very good, the ribs were excellent, the pork chop was very large and flavorful.  We really enjoyed the hush puppies and the many sauces. If there were one area for improvement that this restaurant needs it is its curb appeal.  If we did not have very specific directions we would not have found the place.  The kitchen faces the street and the entry is from the side.  Could use a more prominent sign and a entrance and front of the building with more appeal.

Went with my brother & sister-in-law while I was in the area.  Nice decor in a renovated downtown building.

I ordered the River Rub Chicken (two chicken breasts) with macaroni & cheese and mashed potatoes, and the other two ordered the fried catfish.

Minimal wait for the entrees which was made nicer with a bowl of hot bread and hushpuppies.  My chicken was moist with just the right amount of flavoring from the rub.  Real star of the meal was the macaroni & cheese with a superb flavor.

Very nice option in for dining in Warrenton.

My family and I had a great dinner at Robinson Ferry last night.  The food was wonderful.  We started with a basket of scrumptious hush puppies and homemade rolls.  My husband had the full rack of ribs, which were superb - smoky, fall-off-the-bone meat coated in a spicy-sweet rub.  I had the 10 oz ribeye steak - grilled to a perfect medium-rare with a pat of flavored butter dripping down its sides.  My mom had the mirin-glazed salmon, also cooked to perfection.  We enjoyed tasting their selection of six different barbecue sauces:  Asian, honey-habanero, Southern sweet, cider blend, NC mustard, and traditional vinegar-based.  Sides we tried were yummy:  onion rings, garlic mashed potatoes, blue cheese potato gratin (oh, my!), grilled vegetable medley, green beans (spicy!).  The décor is nice casual, the service was very prompt and friendly.  A lovely evening.  We will be eating there again!.
