Milton Watering Hole and Old Thyme Snack
Bar/Restaurant - Aunt Millie's
Just 6 miles away in historic Milton is Aunt Millie's. Sit on
the porch and sip a cold brew while the bikes and cars go by.
You might even run across a well know race car driver up there
testing at VIR. Aunt Millie's has great sandwiches, cold beer and top
off a hot ride with a banana split or deep chocolate ice cream! Just
go North on Hwy 57 from Hyco Lake and you're there. When
entering Milton, look for Aunt Millie's as the first store on the
right. Stroll down a historic town over 200 years old and much the
same as it was.

Uptown Roxboro Oldie but Goldie -
Toufielk's Cafe
If you want the best hot dog, BBQ
sandwich or homemade beef stew, Toufielk's is the place to go.
Leaving Hyco Lake, go south on Hwy 57 towards Roxboro. Follow
57 until it intersects with 501 in Roxboro at Stuart's Grill at the
stop light. Go straight across 501 up by the Law Enforcement
Center (don't snort your pipes here!) to the stop sign at the fire
station. Go straight ahead by the Courthouse and on the left
is Toufielk's famous Eatwell Cafe. It's a small place so get
there early or just park on the street and walk up to Merritt
Commons Pavilion to have a seat and enjoy your lunch. Open
Thursday-Saturday for lunch only. Double your normal order of hot
dogs because they are that good - homemade slaw and chili found no
where else on this continent!
