You stop at The Country Pumpkin for South African comfort food on Route 62 in Barrydale. The menu has bobotie, steaks, burgers and pizzas, with salads for lighter meals. Portions are generous, and the kitchen cooks to order.

The attached Sprocket Bar draws bikers and locals with cold beer and occasional live music. The walls display collected biker badges, some available to take home. The restaurant serves breakfast and lunch indoors or outside, with views of Barrydale.

Route 62 runs past the door, bringing road-trippers and weekend riders. The place works as a pit stop — park, eat, stretch your legs, then back on the road.
