What Do You Get When You Cross an Old Printing Building With an Upbeat Ambiance?

News Opinion Reviews

Imagine having a meal that is so delicious that it becomes natural to completely ignore all the empty calories being consumed. I am here to talk about the best hidden restaurant in Farmville, Virginia. This mystical place with decadent menu options, great hours, exceptional staff, and the quickest service around is called North Street Press Club. Located at 127 North Street, the building may go unnoticed (since it still proudly shows the Farmville Printing signage).

North Street Press Club, locally known as Press, has boosted its standards for cleanliness and safety with new VDH Guidelines to combat COVID-19. These measures include marking off certain tables and seating areas to maintain social distancing, requiring all guests to enter wearing masks, and setting up sanitizing stations for patrons. The hostess even displayed a lovely example of how to dress when coming in to dine. The staff has even implemented a checkpoint out front to ensure the rules are being met.

With multicultural menu options that range from juicy, flavorful cheeseburgers to honey sriracha infused salmon, the menu will not disappoint even the pickiest of eaters. For those who have a favorable pallet for kimchi, I would recommend the Big Bang Chicken Sandwich ($12). It is a beautifully golden fried chicken breast with a drizzle of honey sriracha, topped with a kimchi slaw to die for, on a brioche bun with sriracha mayo and candied peppers, served up with your choice of waffle or crinkle cut fries. 

For those who have visited, it would be an injustice not to mention how beautiful the kitchen is set up. The display of tropical plants and sleek chrome appliances is truly a sight to acknowledge.
