This place is kind of mid-way on the creeper trail from Whitetop to Damascus. The food was good and the service was quick. The chocolate cake with ice cream was awesome!

Good food, clean bathrooms, but it was packed out. Took about 30 min to get food. But, a good stop on the creeper trail.

Love this place. It's half way down the VA Creeper trail so we always stop for lunch. Everything from a bowl of beans n cornbread to grilled chicken with pineapple. And did I mention their chocolate cake is world famous? Don't miss this gem. Usually packed but worth the wait.

Good stop on the Virginia Creeper Trail. Great place to grab a burger, hot dog, or a number of other sandwiches. Leave room for chocolate cake or a scoop of Hershey's ice cream. The staff is friendly and efficient.

this is the first time we've been on the trail that they were open. what a great little place. The food was great. we stopped in with a group of 12 scouts and we were served very quickly even though they were busy. I would recommend that you and your group stop here and enjoy it. they have seating inside and outside

So happy the cafe is back open! We stopped by today and had perfect cheeseburgers and finished off lunch with ice cream and tiramisu oreo cake. You couldn't ask for nicer folks to serve you and the food is fresh and good. The perfect stop when biking the Virginia Creeper Trail!

Seriously finding this cafe was amazing. We were tired and HUNGRY! There was lots of bike parking right off the trail. The staff was very friendly and the food was good. The grilled cheese was great but the onion rings were amazing! It can’t get very crowded so be prepared to wait.

Super cool location, on the Creeper Trail! Parking area full of bikes:) The menu does not have much for healthful options so I did not eat but the unsweet tea was great and the seating was comfortable! Very neat concept!
