The Briar Patch near Sweet Briar
By Alex Mebane, Young Professionals of Central Virginia Young, Single & Angry divx
If you happen to find yourself in Sweet Briar’s neck of the woods, a great spot to grab a bite to eat is The Briar Patch Restaurant in Amherst. The Briar Patch opens at 11am for lunch and stays open through dinner.
Whether it is SBC faculty with their family, locals, or friends just hanging out, there is always a full dining room. It has a cozy, family style atmosphere, and you will notice that most of the diners know everyone that comes through the door. If they haven’t met you, chances are you may find them smiling and saying hello to you or even formally introducing themselves.
My favorite appetizer from “The Patch” is their hush puppies with melting butter and honey. They are seriously some of the best hush puppies I have ever had and even though they can be split with a few people, I prefer to get my own order because they are THAT good.
This decidedly Southern restaurant truly embraces its roots and serves traditional, authentic southern dishes. Prices are fair, portions are big, and the staff is very accommodating. I have gone in groups of 15 to 20 for a birthday dinner, as well as with one or two friends. The staff is friendly, very attentive, and though they don’t take reservations for small parties, the wait is never long.
If you are headed North on 29 to Charlottesville or are just looking for a new restaurant to try, The Briar Patch is a must.

Having shared the stage with such names as Kansas, The Temptations and The Ragamuffin Band, to name a few, Paul’s music is just as widely diverse and broadly accepted, as it is familiarly personal.
From the highest of highs to the lowest of lows, you can definitely hear a progressive, percussive, soulful blend of jazz and folk in his music.
Open Season divx “This Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist, with his soulful voice, and intense and rousing guitar playing, has a unique sound that is all his own.” Pam Windsor News Channel 13, ABC
“Paul’s music is honest, intimate, and completely relative to everyday life.” Nanci Dodson – Kelly’s Music, Virginia Beach, VA
“Brunett sings sweet tunes about relationships.” Jon Busdeker The News and Advance
