Besides Golden Leaf, what would you recommend along that quality in Danville? I find myself eating there every night almost that I am in town. It's good but it's starting to get a bit old. Still like it a lot though.

Anything else of that caliber in the downtown area? Thanks.
Cotton. Me's Burgers and Brew. Both get good reviews. Even from folks that live in the City (Manhattan).

I live the other way and commute when I work at the track or at my office at the track. Fortunate to live in one of the foodiest towns ever, Durham, NC. But that's too far even for fine dining.

I've eaten at Cotton's and it was good; I'll go again. Joe & Mimma's Italian is pretty good family-ish restaurant. Isabel's Pizza next to the Sleep Inn is good if you're beat, don't want fancy (because it's not) but, want a good pizza and then hit the sack (assuming your staying at the Sleep Inn). El Vallarta is a good Mexican restaurant in Danville.

I see that there is a new place in Milton: Samantha's Hometown Grill that does breakfast. Waiting for a review.

Or just skip breakfast by doing some fasting.

I’d wait on that... let others be your guide.

I'll check out Cotton next trip. Same riverside area as The Leaf? Downtown?

There is a very good Thai restaurant that I found in Danville a few years ago. I hope to go back this year. Don't remember the name, but there can't be many.

fresh fried chicken with egg and cheese on a fresh biscuit. pagoda ritual is key to performance on track (not really but it’s so worth it - get there early)

Yep.

Like I said, not too much personal experience, but based on client recommendations, the circled ones are quite good. Outback is pretty good, too.

I saw the "yes" answer, but they will charge you $20 or $25/day for it. They are pretty **** about enforcing rules and payment for the extras. Like if you bring a mini-bike to ride around there's a fee for that. They have nice garages for $100/day that have electricity for "free."
