Founded by Charlotte and Ray Goodman, the restaurant grew from entrepreneurial roots, family values, and a desire to create a place where people feel welcomed, appreciated, and well-fed.
What started with hard work, persistence, and a passion for community became one of Staunton’s growing comfort food favorites.
