"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."

"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."

"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."
