Great beer, bar food and a fun vibe. The tater tots are great, and the chicken sandwich is soooo tasty. Prices are very reasonable. Keep in mind they do card in the evenings for entry.

We ordered the Buffalo chicken tenders as appetizers and that is the best Buffalo sauce we've ever had- its homemade!
Second, the pizzas were freshly made and you can even watch the kitchen do their magic. They really work hard back there.
Third, they have a variety of beer and wine selection. I had the blueberry blonde and it was delicious.
Customer service and cleanliness of the restaurant were on point. Amazing atmosphere as well.

Good for lunch sandwiches/tacos, dinner, and desserts. They are open between Christmas and New Years. Shortened hours to 4 p.m. I got the fish tacos and tortilla cheese soup. The soup is one of my favorites. I got a mint triple layer brownie and gluten free triple layer brownie to take home. They have coconut macaroons with chocolate drizzles and bottom, lemon bars, cookies, pecan bars, peanut bars, etc. They also have take home entrees such as lasagna and beef stroganoff. Delicious. I love the portobello mushroom sandwich too.

Top 5 burger that I have ever had and I have tried a lot of different burgers. I had the blend of chuck and brisket with mushrooms and a slice of both American and Cheddar cheese. This burger will get you where you want to be. The bun is right and that is a big part of how a good burger should be done. That and a burger's best friend (fresh-cut fries.)

We love breakfast. This place was not only adorable but also delicious!! Staff, very friendly but also efficient. Fast service, there was a wait, it went by fast. They turn tables like no other. The lemon poppy seed pancake was to die for, so I bought a candle to take home. The cinnamon apple Belgian floral waffle was not too heavy and the perfect amount of sweetness.

Whether you want to just take a drive through the mountains, find a hiking trail, or a spot to watch the sunset, the Blue Ridge Parkway will be a wonderful experience. There are a lot of curvy roads and tunnels along the way, but you can choose to stop at the first lookout and turn around, or keep going as far as you have time for.
