21 Best American Restaurants in Blue Ridge

“My wife and I come to Blue Ridge every year. We decided to go to Grace for my 33rd birthday tonight. Hands down the best food I have ever had. We had the filets with a side of creamed corn and broccolini (Chef’s treat). They also gave me a couple of special treats for my birthday and I can assure you I won’t forget the kind gesture. If you are considering a nice dining experience or special occasion, please go to Grace. Wonderful service, great food, and a beautiful display. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Reservation one month in advance for patio ,asked hostess if that was it out front. Waited 35 minutes she then went to seat us inside, we said outside please waited waited at least 20 more minutes, then 10 more to be greeted. ,med rare 16 oz. Ribeye,was very rare. Potatoes good. G.m.approached every table but ours. I still tipped 20 percent to server, not all her fault. . Never again“

“We go to Chester's fairly often and can recommend it highly. It's super popular and takes no reservations, so having to wait is no fun. But once you're seated, the service is friendly and quick, the fast-casual food is delicious, and the price moderate. Why is Chesters's popular, crowded and successful? Because its formula is sure-fire and executed well.“

“Great atmosphere, old school pinball and other games and a great food and beer menu. one of my must go to places when we are in Blue Ridge!“

“Great food , Friendly people , Scenic surroundings !“

“Good food, friendly people! The prices advertised are not accurate though, just a heads up. Our total before tax should have been a little less than $22. The total ended up being over $35 with their card fees and I left a couple dollars for tip so it was very expensive for what it is, IMO as a local. Make sure you ask for prices when you order. The board has paper on it showing modified prices but those are. It accurate either. The food is cooked to order and very fresh though. I would still recommend, just watch the pricing.“

“Cantaberry is truly one of the most perfect places. I have been coming here for years, and I’m so incredibly thankful for the staff and all of the memories this restaurant has held for us over time. It feels like a place that grows with you through different seasons of life. Today was especially meaningful as we celebrated the most perfect day for my sweet friend Kassidy. I am beyond grateful to the owner, Jessica, who made the absolute sweetest accommodations for us and made sure everything was seamless. The staff went above and beyond for our larger party, showing such kindness, patience, and care — something that never goes unnoticed. Cantaberry is more than just a restaurant; it’s a place filled with warmth, consistency, and genuine hospitality. Thank you for years of memories and for continuing to make every visit feel so special. We will always keep coming back 🤍“

“Pete place is a great place to eat home cooking style food. They cater for events and have a warm and friendly staff. They are even fixing to open for dinner on Friday and Saturday nights. You never leave hungry. The new owners are great.“

“Everything was wonderful, the vibe, the service, the live music and the food was great! We enjoyed the blackberry smoke burger, the potato salad, and the fries were so fresh. We liked the live country music and the waitress was very nice and attentive and gave good service.“

“Moved here a year ago and wanted to try a new place. Our meals(chicken paillard & pork chop) were exceptional and our server, Savannah, was fantastic. Cozy but fun atmosphere. I can’t wait to go back!“

“The Sweet Shoppe baked our wedding cake and WOW. Just wow! It was honestly exactly what we wanted as far as appearance. But the taste!?! We were all blown away! We ordered a simple vanilla cake with buttercream frosting, but this was next level! Everyone got a second piece of cake and EVERYONE talked about how perfect the flavor was. How you take the flavor of a simple vanilla cake to that level of perfection, I’ll never know. The texture was amazing as well! Very moist and light, but also fairly dense! I told my husband he absolutely has to take me by their bakery for cupcakes before we leave Blue Ridge! We will 100% use The Sweet Shoppe again! A truly exceptional experience!!!“

“Great Wings & Great Drinks at Blue Coyote Blue Coyote is a must-stop in Blue Ridge if you love great wings and well-made drinks. The wings are outstanding—perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and some of the best in the area. Pair them with a drink from the bar and you’re set. The atmosphere is fun and laid-back, the drinks are strong and tasty, and the overall vibe makes it a great place to hang out with friends or unwind after a day in town. Consistently good food, great drinks, and a spot we always enjoy coming back to. Highly recommend.“

“Love the rooftop bar setting“

“We’ve visited Blue Ridge for many years so it’s been exciting to see it grow and change with new restaurants. Happy to say that Harvest on Main seems to fit the vibe of downtown Blue Ridge perfectly. Great atmosphere; we loved the front porch. The food was also yummy… please try the brussel sprouts! And our server Kacey was also wonderful. Worth going back to on our next trip to the mountains!“

“Our favorite spot, love the outdoor seating over looking downtown. Perfect pit stop on bike riding days.“

“great place to hang out with friends!“
