Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"The waiters were really busy cause there were so few of them but boy did they do the best they could to serve us and the food was delicious especially the chicken tacos, the sweet potato fries and the scones with ice cream. Some of the other stuff I don’t know"
"Breakfast bar was closed so I ordered the pancakes on the menu. Not sure what kind of secret batter they use but these were the best pancakes I have ever had. Better than Cracker barrels pancakes that were my favorite. They were crispy and almost seemed like they were deep fried. Service was great too."
"My family of 10 had Thanksgiving dinner there today 2025. The "cook" seasoned everything with love. The collard greens and turkey were excellent!!!! The meal was amazing. Something for everyone. Our server Danielle was a sweet heart. Jennifer and Blake the best. The entire staff was excellent. Natasha 2 thumbs up to the staff"
"What a magical place! But the real magic is in the staff and the people. Everyone was so kind and we enjoyed making connections with the staff and all of the guests. We feel like we were transported into another time in place. Such a little jem hidden in the mountains"
"We were delighted to find this restaurant right in the hotel of our one-night stay at Natural Bridge. Heather made a perfect Old Fashioned and was a fantastic server, the salmon was amazing, and we loved the French Onion soup. I highly recommend a stop at this historic, beautiful spot!"
"We saw the sign on the interstate, and stopped here while traveling. The dining room was so huge, so we decided to eat in the adjoining Red Fox Tavern. (Same menu) I ordered the steak, garlic mashed potatoes, and a salad. All were delicious. The staff was very friendly, polite, and expedient. The tavern, dining room, and bathrooms were very clean. This is all part of the Natural Bridge Historic Hotel."
"Our servers were kind, attentive and Very friendly. Food was excellent, reasonably priced and delicious. The Hotel is a great stop over if you are looking for a classic stay from an era less hurried. Do yourself a favor, stay and eat here."
"Went to the red fox tavern. We relaxed in the lobby by the fire beforehand. They have an impressive set of beers on tap and a fully stocked bar. They gave us a sample of the beers and we just relaxed and enjoyed. All of the staff was very friendly and attentive."
