Plank Road Steak House

Wife and I made our first visit here this past weekend.01/14/22We did not have a reservation but we were able to be seated immediately at a bar height table in the bar area, which was fine for us.Our waitress, Theresa, was very helpful and attentive. Our food come out quickly. I had the BBQ Pork Chop which was cooked perfectly to order and was so juicy and tender. Very good.Wife had a burger that she said was wonderful.Appetizer was potato skins which were good. Drinks were well made also. We ordered a Chocolate Confusion dessert to go. We had it later on and it was fantastic and not too rich.Thanks to Theresa and the rest of the staff for making our first visit a great experience.

When I came here with a friend a month ago, I was impressed by it. The steak I ordered was cooked the way I liked it - juicy and melts in your mouth! The ambience was very rustic and cozy. Our waitress was polite and sweet. But they didn't have creme brulee the first time as the owner said he didn't make a batch that day. I was pleased overall that day & decided to take my SO there another time.Yesterday, I took my SO there, our server didn't smile but once, gave the impression like we weren't welcome. Made me feel so uncomfortable. I ordered a rib eye but tasted and appeared like sirloin. It was dry, chewy and tough despite me asking it to be cooked medium rare. And still no creme brulee. Probably best they take it off the menu. What a tease! I honestly feel that servers are the people that set the tone for guest's dining experience. I don't mind the food tasting a little off but it is the way you are treated that stays with a guest the longest. For me anyway. Dining there yesterday was a complete 180 from my first! I guess it's luck of the draw! Maybe it's because I'm not a local. Good luck future foreign diners!6/18/21

Good food, especially the well-stocked salad bar. Can make a meal there! Appetizers and entrées very good also.

First and last time making An expensive mistake we will never make again. We were hoping for a nice evening for our 26th Anniversary. Instead we ended up watching each other eat while listening to 70s rock music. Took them longer to recook the meal they messed up than it took to get the original plates out. Then they charged us twice once at $79 and again at $58 for a crappy meal with crappier service. So now we have started the process of denying charges with our bank. If you are looking for a nice Romantic place to celebrate this is not it. We had 5:15 reservations were sat at 5:05 when we arrived but took utill almost 7:00 to get our food and get out even with bringing 1 practically uneaten plate home.

I prefer to write good reviews and won't say anything at all if an experience is mediocre, but every once in a while, something has to be said! Four of us went to the Plank House last night. Family was visiting from out of town and we were really looking forward to a nice evening out. Unfortunately it was a pretty severe disappointment, not coming close to matching the hype.The server was nice enough though not exceptional, the atmosphere was reasonably pleasant and not unattractive. We had potato skins, stuffed mushrooms, spinach dip, and seared tuna for appetizers. The potato skins tasted like they had been sitting around, the spinach dip was uninspiring, the stuffed mushrooms were good, and the tuna was delicious because the quality of the meat was good. That said, the "sauce" that came with it was just plain soy, and the tuna was simply seared and sliced. Appetizer portion sizes were fairly generous, but seriously, how do you mess up potato skins?For our main course we had mahi, crab cakes, and shrimp prepared two different ways. none of them had much flavor. Although the shrimp were supposedly cooked differently, they tasted exactly the same. When we ordered them, I experienced a red flag moment when the server asked how we wanted them cooked - blackened, lemon pepper, etc. How I want my food cooked is how the restaurant prepares the dish, unless you're asking me how I want my steak done! Of the three entrees, the crabcakes were best but they were not special in any way and they were very, very small. Three of us liked the mashed potatoes, one of us did not. They were on the lumpy side, a little gray in color, and seasoned, unlike everything else. The vegetables were perfectly cooked but had zero seasoning although the asparagus had some sort of butter on it. Again, no flavor.The salad bar was decent (but only iceberg lettuce) and the bread was excellent. But the prices? Much too high for such simple food. Should we have ordered steak? Possibly, but that's not what we chose tonight. It seems pretty obvious to me there is no Chef in house, just a couple of line cooks. Nothing wrong with that if you're running a Logan's Steakhouse, but everything wrong when you're charging for fine dining.We didn't bother with desserts as we just couldn't handle any more disappointment!

Great restaurant right in downtown Farmville.Salad Bar - Pork Chops - Steaks - Seafood - etc. Live music and wonderful entertainment area outside for those spring summer and fall nights.

The service is always amazing! Logan is my favorite! The food is so good! The salad bar is always perfect!!

The food, service, and atmosphere was just incredible. We will be returning soon. The main course and desert were amazing

Good food and service is ok... servers were attentive but were just unfriendly... felt like it was our job to make them feel better. Salad bar is nice but you only get one small plate with no return trips. Why have a self serve salad bar for customers if you can't return for more lettuce?

Love the salad bar. All meals were good. Dining room area off to the right of the restaurant needs some more decorative thought. Chairs are very uncomfortable. Service is hit or miss.
