I really wanted to like Chef's, but sadly I don't. The menu is simple diner stuff, with burgers and a few other sandwiches on the menu. There are five or six booths and six or seven stools at the counter. The menu is displayed over the counter. The entire public area is maybe ten by twenty feet. We went for lunch. We ordered at the counter and sat in a booth. The food was brought to us. I had a Carolina-style barbecue sandwich, which was very good, with a vinegary barbecue sauce and cole slaw on the bun, as expected, but at $3.99, I expected at least a plate. It was placed on a piece of waxed paper in front of me on the table. Nothing but the sandwich, no little sprig of parsley or bag of chips. Zip. My partner had the burger and french fries combo. While she seemed to enjoy the fries, I tasted one of the pre-fab little crinkly critters and found them to be pretty greasy and somewhat tasteless. She got a plate, but apparently only to contain the fries from cluttering the table. The burger was generic with nothing n particular to recommend it. A plain uninteresting white-bread bun. The server was a teen aged girl and she was relatively polite, if a bit cool, but the older ladies in the kitchen were very gruff. When we initially asked for a corned beef sandwich, we were informed, in rather stern language that they didn't have it and despite its presence on the apparently easily edited overhead menu board, "nobody can get corned beef." We felt soundly rebuked. It wasn't an apology, it was a dressing-down. Is this any way to run a small town place? With two regular drinks, the bare BBQ sandwich, on a"white-bread" hamburger bun, and the generic burger, the total came to over thirteen dollars. I'd have expected a plate. Not much of a "thanks or goodbye" as we left, either. Maybe it pays to be a regular, and there were a lot of them there. I got the feeling we were spotted as non-regulars and treated as such. There are places like that. I don't suspect that, even tho it's a local place, I'll ever be a "regular".

I'm rating this a four out of five on that special scale made for little everything-is-fried diners. If I were driving through Altavista again, I'd stop here again. Standard diner fare, and local color. Burger was certainly better than fast food, fries are the fat crinkle cut crispy kind. Hot dog loaded with slaw and chili. Amazing peanutbutter milkshake! Authentic old formica and chrome, and plenty of local fellers in pickup trucks. Um, use the loo BEFORE you come. Remember the go-outside-and-around-the-corner, key-on-a-plywood-keychain bathrooms of old gas stations? Yeah, that kind. Great chuckle: sign on wall in bathroom: "employees must wash hand before returning to work." Hand? Hey, wash them both while you're at it, okay?

Great old school bacon cheeseburger. Very friendly service. The best breakfast in town.

We love Chef's Drive In. A place where you can still enjoy curb service or eat inside. Love their hamburgers, BBQ's and hot dogs - just like homemade and not those fake burgers you get at chains. Breakfast is good too. Prices are reasonable. Service is okay, not always real friendly or the most attentive but ok.

This place is not for the feint of heart, nor is it for those with a heart condition. Unless, of course, you're willing to die happily with one of the tastiest old-school hot dogs you've ever had in your mouth. Seriously though, there is nothing fancy here. A small counter, burgers served on wax paper and soda machine that's probably as old as I am. This place serves up true, old school burgers, fries, hot dogs and your other typical diner food. The burgers a good and greasy, the fries are crispy and hot and the coleslaw they use is awesome. They also have curb service! I visit this place every time I'm in southern Virginia and will admit to driving an hour just for a hot dog and a coke. Pros: Everything is delicious! Cons: Everything is likely bad for you.
