Based on over 60 years of serving the Shenandoah Valley
and growing requests from numerous organizations, Mrs.
Rowe's Restaurant formed DiGrassie Three, LLC t/a Mrs.
Rowe's Cafes and Catering in 2005. Since operations began,
Mrs. Rowe's Cafes & Catering has grown to include cafeterias
at the Wal*Mart Distribution Center in Mt. Crawford, Va., the R.
R. Donnelley & Sons publishing company in Harrisonburg, Va.
and the Harrisonburg Auto Auction. Mrs. Rowe's has been
chosen and is the exclusive caterer and concessioner for the
Virginia Horse Center in Lexington. Our Corporate and
Government list of customers for catering is extensive and
increasing daily.
This growth is due, in large part, to our family's ongoing
commitment to superior customer service and excellence in
food quality. Mrs. Rowe's reputation for southern-style food
similar to what we ate at our "Grandmother's table" is well
known and due to the continued adherence to the familiar
recipes developed by Mildred Rowe, herself. Our catering
expertise is enhanced by two, full time, culinary-trained chefs
and assistant chefs and encompasses the simple to the
elegant. We cater events from 20 to 1000 with superb
attention to detail.

We promise to continue this family tradition in all our
endeavors.
