Yancey House Restaurant

Located in central Caswell County (county pop. 25,000), Yancey House Restaurant & Gallery offers dining in an historic, relaxing, and inviting atmosphere. The c. 1807 home was the residence of early 19th century Congressman & educational reformer Bartlett Yancey. Truly a destination restaurant, guests visit from outlying communities to savor dishes with a Southern "awareness."

Chef Lucindy Willis, Ph.D. adjusts the menu seasonally, working closely w/ local farmers to provide only the freshest produce available. Inspiration for the dishes comes from the owners' Texas and Louisiana roots, the local farming community, and from the slow food movement, an eco-gastronomic movement that celebrates living the slow life with food.
