My family ate here for Sunday brunch on Memorial Day weekend. We sat outside and the weather was excellent. We also brought our 6-year old black Labrador Retriever, who enjoyed watching others eat in their open-air patio section. The food was made fresh and had amazing flavor. We highly recommend trying the shrimp and grits and eggs benedict & biscuits and gravy combo. Also, their blackberry mimosa and other summer cocktails were very refreshing. We will continue to come here for brunch and hope to also experience their live music and day drinking events. If you are traveling along the Blue Ridge Parkway or a Wilkes/Ashe local, this place is a must do! Great food and service here!!!🥰

Our family had breakfast on 4/11/25 and it was wonderful. Prices are reasonable and good options for breakfast. The staff is responsive and courteous.

Best experience today after taking my family to pick Christmas Trees. We had a a great lunch! All of our food was amazing and the hospitality was great! We sat outside and enjoyed the views and beautiful weather. We definitely will be back!

Brisket platter with onion rings, brussel sprouts for me and pulled pork, potato salad and green beans all of which were very tasty. Service was good and it was just a pleasant experience. Definitely recommend Kristin’s cooking.

The food is amazing, the staff is amazing! If you are riding the BRP, it is only about 100 feet away.

Very neat little diner that we tried based upon excellent Google reviews. Our experience was like others I had read...very good. We arrived around 12:30 on Friday and there weren't any other customers, which always concerns me. But excellent service awaited us inside. We would have chosen al fresco dining because how neat the outdoor area was but it was raining. Good beer & wine selections. A food menu to please most anyone, like my spouse who eats GF. She had bbq pulled chicken with sides okra and baked apples. I had the brisket grilled cheese with dudes okra and fries. We both loved our meal. Several other diners came in while we were there. It's a unique location right on the Blue Ridge Parkway. We weren't disappointed in the least.

Kristen has done it again. What a great place and great food. I am sure Park Vista will continue to grow.
Went for lunch to have these Labor Day ribs, started out disappointed. Truly, something went wrong in the kitchen with my rackoribs. I didn't want to be a burden.
My wife spoke to our waitress. Barbara, came to me and said, " sir, thank you so much for making us aware, this could've disappointed customers all day."
We left happy as usual, stuffed!
In the absence of a "certain sick" employee, Barbara and today's staff went the extra mile for me.
Good vittles, real staff, mean what they say!

My husband and I went to Park Vista a couple of weeks ago. We have an Airbnb in Laurel Springs and on previous visits I had heard about Kristin's food truck and how good it was. I tried to go there a couple of times but once it wasn't where I thought it was going to be and then another time I learned that she was in the process of opening up the Park Vista. This time I called to find out where her truck was and she answered the phone and told me she was at her restaurant and told me where it was. So we proceeded to head there to find the perfect setting, wonderful staff and great food! I had the burger with pork on it. It was delicious! Messy, but delicious! If you order it, be prepared to eat it with a knife and fork. I also got the onion rings as a side and they were also great. My husband got the meatloaf with a couple of sides and said his was also delicious. And even though Kristin was the only one cooking that day, she came outside to check on customers and engage with them, which is always a plus for me! She cares about her customers. We will definitely be back!
