Food Scene

Fardowners is our favorite, a local pub-style restaurant right in downtown Crozet near the Mud House. They call themselves a "hippie-sports bar" and there usually is an eclectic mix of locals. They offer a delicious rotating list of local/regional micro-brews with an emphasis on IPAs. The food is fabulous -- burgers, entree salads and make sure to try the "hippie wings" which are breaded portabella mushrooms tossed in wing sauce. (regular wings are good too!). They also serve Sunday brunch.
