Victorian Rose Tearoom & Pub

This place is aptly named, because it seems to be almost divided right down the middle.  Up front, it's a tearoom, and in the back it's a pub.  I don't know anything about the tea there, I just come here for the food.  Their menu has a large amount of standard American fare.  There's lots of appetizers, sandwiches, salads, burgers, and entrees to choose from.  I'm always here for lunch, so I stick with sandwiches.  My favorites are the patty melt, steak sandwich, and southwestern chicken sandwich.  Most sandwiches are offered with chips, but if you are wise, you will order their steak fries.  These are no ordinary flat-cut steak fries.  These are homemade large wedges of freshly fried potatoes.  They're super crisp on the outside, and nice and soft in the middle.  I'm not sure how they make them, but I'm pretty sure that they take leftover fully baked potatoes, and just cut them into large wedges and fry them.  It sounds simple, but you really must try them!  The service here is friendly and very attentive.  The main fault (and probably what's keeping them from four stars) is that they don't offer free wifi.  Downtown Vanceburg has absolutely no AT&T cellular signal, not even one single bar.  Free wifi would be amazing, as I could actually get caught up on all my work emails and tweets as I'm having lunch here while doing field work.  Other than that, I really like this place!
