"Meredith’s was a nice clean restaurant with good country cooking. We did the buffet that included a salad bar, 4 meats, a pasta dish, 4 vegetables, and a sweet rice. It also included a dessert. It was all very tasty and the hot portion was kept nice and warm."

"We love this place so much, we drive from Roanoke Virginia (an hour &15 minutes) for their delicious food. The whole family is courteous, respectful, & considerate. The food is amazing! Everything is cooked just right. I love the baked Mac & cheese. You get everything, including your beverage, rolls, and dessert for $20.00 (also includes tip). My mom' s favorite is the sweet potatoes. Thank you, Merredith's!!"

"Merredith’s Restaurant & Catering truly exceeded all expectations during our Everettstown Families and Friends Reunion 2025! From start to finish, their service was nothing short of spectacular. The menu selections were thoughtfully curated, offering something delicious for everyone. Guests couldn’t stop raving about the flavorful dishes, and the pricing was refreshingly reasonable. The service provided by Merredith and her team was warm, professional, and seamless, ensuring everything ran smoothly throughout the day. What’s more, several of our attendees recognized Merredith’s Restaurant & Catering from previous events and were quick to applaud the Reunion Committee for choosing such a trusted and high-quality provider. Thanks to Merredith’s Restaurant & Catering, our picnic was a resounding success! We couldn’t have asked for a better partner to make this special day unforgettable. Thank you, Merredith and team, for your incredible work!"
