★★★★★ 5.0 Sandy Denise · Jan 2026

Took my son here so he could experience some excellent fried chicken before heading back to college food. We both loved the chicken (both the grilled and fried versions!), along with the sides of mashed potatoes with gravy, savory green beans!!, mouth-watering vegetable soup, biscuits that melt in your mouth, and an especially big shout-out for the hot apple cider that tastes so incredibly good. Ben and I both love hot apple cider and have high standards for the perfect flavor...well done! On top of the excellent food, the service, atmosphere (oh that wonderfully warm fireplace on a cold day!), and fun option to wander around the property and visit two gift shops (the goat's milk lotion is divine!) it was exactly what we needed at the end of my son's winter break. Look forward to returnin

This was our first visit to the hidden gem. The staff and location we're fantastic. The food was buffet style from 11-3pm. And it was very good. The desert choices have a little of everything. This location also has 2 different shops on sight to pick up some local items, wines , apple cider and a lot of other itrms to chose from. It was a great stop in We will return

Step back into the late eighteenth century and enjoy a hearty midday meal before heading up the mountain to Thomas Jeffersons Monticello. In 1927 the tavern was taken apart, piece by piece, relocated 17mi, and reassembled to where it stands today. The food is prepared using 18th century recipes in the southern tradition. You'll find some of the best fried chicken, pulled pork, and fixins' you've ever had. Servers are always nearby to offer seconds... or thirds. Overall a great place to stop and enjoy a memorable experience. Highly recommended.

★★★★★ 5.0 Charles Smith · Aug 2025

Thoroughly enjoyed my experience from arrival to departure. To sit and eat in a tavern that our founding fathers once did was awe inspiring. The service was fantastic as well as the food. I will definitely plan future visits here with my family. I also recommend visiting the gift shops as well and checking out the old cabins on the property. Great place for history buffs! Oh, and Morgan was awesome. The staff really take care of you.

This place is more than just a resteraunt, it's an experience. It's a little pricey. The atmosphere is incredible and the service was great. It's a buffet style resteraunt. The food was southern style comfort food. Our waitress "Toni" was great.
