Country Cookin was a Virginia-based chain of casual dining restaurants featuring Southern cuisine with 14 locations throughout Virginia,[1] mostly in Southwest Virginia, the Shenandoah Valley, and the U.S. 29 corridor.[2] The first restaurant was opened by Roger Smith in Roanoke, Virginia in 1981. On October 16, 2020, the chain announced that it would be closing its remaining locations at close of business on October 18. The financial fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic was cited as a major reason for their permanent closure.[3]
