About the Briar Patch
The Briar Patch
first opened its doors in 1948. In July 1986 Joan Lingerfelt purchased the quaint little restaurant. The Briar Patch is renowned for its delicious dishes and being the place Where Friends Meet.
The words at the beginning of the menu sum up the atmosphere: Congratulations on your discerning taste, good looks, charming personality and appreciation for the finer things in life. We make every effort to prepare each of our dishes to order; therefore, we are not a fast food restaurant. So relax, have a drink, visit and enjoy.
If you ever find yourself on Route 29 in Amherst Virginia please come in and say hello. I am looking forward to helping you plan your next event. Call me and we will put our talents to work for you.
Joanie Lingerfelt, Chef/Owner
