Muddy Creek Cafe & Listening Room

I don't like to beat up too much on small businesses but, given the lack of places to eat in Old Salem, be advised. Both of us ordered the Moravian Chicken Pie, a side salad, one hot apple cider and two bottles of water. Just under $50.00. If only the pies were delicious. They're not. Full of chicken, but super bland/boring. Just shredded chicken and some gravy in a pie crust. The frozen ones at the stores are better. And I heard the guy behind the counter say they sell out of these every day. LOL - I guess because they're featured prominently on the menu and the other options are sandwiches and salads. And then we ordered two cookies to go, and they were over $6.00. Just like a nice French pastry shop in Paris. My recommendation is to stay away from the chicken and cookies, and get the free tap water. Visit Old Salem, but don't come hungry.

I stopped in to try the chicken pie which was ok but I asked the cashier if the potato salad had onions and she said no. First bite was a big crunchy onion, which is the equivalent of superman swallowing a piece of kryptonite.... Anyway, didn't get to try any sides.

We stopped at Muddy Creek while visiting Old Salem and we weren’t disappointed! They have several quick and delicious sandwiches and sides you can choose from. Our favorite was the chicken salad croissant and the Mac and cheese!

Attended the Joe Pug show last Sunday. It was a great show in a very intimate setting. I would definitely go back for another show though. The venue could use a little more ambiance and the seats were not super comfortable.

Muddy Creek Café offers sandwiches, sides, and cold drinks in the middle of Old Salem. It is centrally located and is a great place to find food to tide you over, rest a bit, and help replenish your energy as you explore the Old Salem Museums and Gardens. There is even coffee if you need a pick-me-up! They have outside seating as well, under the shade of umbrellas.
