Welcome and thank you for visiting our website. As with everything, we come with a history. Let me tell you our story ...
A little history about Klara's Kitchun
Clara Whitt was born along with 13 brothers and sisters deep in te Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. Raised on a small farm, Clara learned at an early age the art of preparing and cooking good, wholesome, homestyle foods.
At daybreak each day, the men of the family ate a hearty breakfast, then went on to a long day in the fields, leaving the ladies to prepare for their return at sundown.
Clara had learned well the ways of the farm. From milking cows, churning butter, making cheese, collecting eggs to picking the vegetables — all this in preparation for the evening meal.
At sundown, when the men folk returned, they were, to say the least, hungry! There had better not be any hamburgers or hot dogs or the like waiting for them. Good, down home cooking was the order of the day.
Naturally, Clara passed this knowledge and experience on to her children and with the creation of Klara’s Kitchun Restaurant, what could be more natural ... the result is good Southern style cooking!
Now we hope you’re hungry, because you can stop by and enjoy some of grandma’s finest old home favorites. Come see us soon!
