I'm leaving Friday for a conference in FARMVILLE, VA, and I'm looking for restaurant recommendations. After doing a little online research, I've probably narrrowed my choices to two:

Charley’s Waterfront Café http://www.charleyswaterfront.com/index.html
Grady’s BBQ http://www.gradysbbq.net/

Has anyone ever eaten at either? Or do have another Farmville restaurant recommendation?

Charley's is really good, but its been a while since I've eaten there. Grady's is ok, not the best BBQ ever but decent enough. Be careful if you take the wife, b/c its located right across from Greenfront Furniture (literally several warehouses full of good furniture).

The Hitchin' Post just outside of town at the intersection w/ the road to Hampden-Sydney does a good job of fixing Southern, homecooking style food.

For your chain places, Applebee's, Pino's, Rub Tuesday's are all on Main Street, starting in the Wal-Mart area and continuing down towards Longwood.

But yeah, between Grady's and Charley's I'd pick Charley's.

I've been to Charley's. It's pretty good. You have a sweet view while eating if you get seated in the right area. I did not however.

Yeah, but the couple of times that I've eaten there the food wasn't very good...Roanoke, Blacksburg and Lynchburg Macado's are way better.
