Effingham's First Call Coffee Bar — Restaurant in Farmville

This afternoon at lunchtime I was given a friendly greeting by Liz at the Hotel Weyanoke front desk who directed me to the entrance into Effingham's to the right. From there LaShanna immediately offered a friendly greeting. I asked to sit at the bar and ordered a Classic Chicken Caesar salad with no croutons and iced tea with lemon. The vibrant salad greens came out beautifully, and the grilled chicken on top was so fresh it still had steam coming off of it! The Dijon Vinaigrette dressing option sounded delicious, so I requested it. It definitely tasted fresh and had just the right tang! Do you enjoy eating high quality fresh food cooked to order? I would definitely recommend trying...

I have a large family of 10 (7 children, my mother-in-law, my wife and myself) so I was hesitant to put that kind of stress on the staff. However, the staff did an extremely awesome job, suggesting that we use the high top center dining area and managed to keep up with my son that tries his best to drink all the lemonade in the place. Bringing my family to stay at Weyanoke and enjoying Farmville for a quick overnight was such a great idea. I’m in Farmville often and always enjoy the stays here at the Weyanoke and eating at Effingham’s, but it’s always on business and I don’t think I’ve ever got to truly appreciate all of what this place has to offer. Thank for...

Their chicken and waffles are served with packets of Smuckers Breakfast Syrup, made with high fructose corn syrup and no actual maple ($28). Either lower your prices or improve the food quality guys. It's embarrassing.

They also regularly have things listed as gluten-free that aren't actually available gluten-free when you...
