“This is the best restaurant in Waynesboro Va ! I would recommend it for the atmosphere, cleanliness, services, and most of all the food!!! All cooked on site. No frozen produce!! I love it!“

“This past Wednesday, I brought my assistant to Waynesboro to help me with shopping, and that we would see if Stella, Bella & Lucy’s had availability for Lunch, which they did.\n\nInside, a number of empty seats, I asked if they had availability for two for lunch, which they did. The Restaurant is well lit inside, easy to walk to seating, with plenty of room between tables & chairs. Absolutely Lovely Decor inside, brought back many lovely memories growing up.\n\nOur Waitstaff person, Mandy took our beverage order right away, I was hoping for cup of hot Black tea, possibly P & G? I settled on their unsweetened Ice Tea with lemon slices, I had my Stevia with me.\n\nMandy informed us of the specials, we both decided on the Cup of Creamy Tomato Basil Soup and Quiche Lorraine. Incredibly quick service, I did note the Restaurant quickly filling up with Patrons.\n\nThe food… The Soup was lovely, I would have been content with a bowl of the Creamy Tomato Basil and a bit of fruit, the Quiche onions were a bit of an issue for me, I enjoyed it though.\n\nI observed the Desserts being served, they were gorgeous, My Guest ordered the Bread Pudding, I ordered the Chocolate Ganache Cupcake, a teeny taste let me know how incredibly Rich this was, and I packaged it up for my assistant to take home.\n\nI asked for the Manager, and in a moment C.C. arrived at our table, I introduced myself, and let her know how delighted I was to visit Stella, Bella & Lucy’s for lunch, ( I usually visit Waynesboro heading to SNP).\n\nIf You want a great dining experience, with a Lovely Ambiance, I suggest you make a reservation and head to Stella, Bella and Lucy’s.\n\nKesh_grammy“

“We are in town for the week and this was our first place after a long drive. It was amazing! We ended up getting 3 appetizers and 3 entrees. They were all out of this world! Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality Jessie! Cheers!“

“My husband and I experienced a wonderful meal at Restoration in Old Trail. The menu featured Valentine specials offering a variety of choices to appeal to seafood lovers, vegetarians and meat lovers. The tables were festively decorated in red and white accents. The service was excellent and the meal was superbly prepared. We enjoyed oysters Rockefeller, shrimp scampi and seared scallops done to perfection! We highly commend the chef, Elisa, the manager, and the entire staff at Restoration ! Crozet has needed a restaurant of this quality for many years.“

“We had a great experience here - the food was all fantastic and our waitress was super personable. We had a great table by the windows overlooking the mountains at sunset, which was beautiful. It was quiet and classy - would definitely recommend.“

“How can go wrong with ally can eat“

“Always a joy to go to Cracker Barrel. Always get the grilled catfish and always excellent. Service is gracious and the store smells wonderful“

“I've been to this location on many occasions and the food is very consistent. The last 2 times I visited, my parents and I had a server named Zachary and he was fantastic. He takes care of everything that you need even when he's busy. He is very good. Please visit and maybe you'll be fortunate enough to have him as your server.“

“Great service, great food at a great price. Wonderful people. Awesome atmosphere. Keep on doing what you guys do! God bless.“

“DO NOT miss the Smoked Kitchen. During a recent "leaf peeping" drive from Richmond, we visited Crozet in time for lunch. First, the location is easy to find and easy to park. Second, they welcome dogs. (A real plus.) But MOST IMPORTANTLY the the food is top notch and the service can't be beat. The pulled pork is the best we've EVER eaten. (I don't use CAPS very often.) Speaking as Virginia/North Carolina customers, that's quite a statement. It's dry, lean and melt in your mouth. Plenty of sauces to choose from if you wish. Absolutely terrific. We bought A POUND to take home. No kidding. The smoked chicken salad sandwich was excellent. And the beer - well, what a nice addition to a great meal.“

“Hands down the best catfish I have ever had. The BBQ was great. The mac and cheese was the closest to homemade I have ever had. And Jamie was fantastic! So glad we drove down here to celebrate!“

“Staff is amazing. Owner is very approachable. Food is fresh and a lot of it. Don't forget to open shop in Virginia Beach. See you soon.“

“It's Waffle House. always get the Hash Browns fully loaded. 😊“

“Stumbled upon Whistle Stop Grill and the Stoney Creek Freedom Fest this weekend. We had their Maple bacon burger and it was so good we had to get a second one the next day for lunch. I definitely recommend trying.“

“Stoney Creek Golf Course is a 27-hole Rees Jones-designed layout located about 15 minutes from the main resort. The layouts incorporate the native habitat and natural springs, and flow naturally with the lay of the land. Each course has generous landing areas, large, undulating greens, and a few forced carries. Unlike Devils Knob, Stoney Creek will have you hitting every club in your bag.

If you want to “ease in” to the golf course, start on Shamokin. Because of its location in the valley, Shamokin is relatively flat, which appeals to more golfers, yet it offers enough challenge to get a seasoned player’s attention. There are very few uphill, downhill, or sidehill lies. The course winds through hardwood forests and alongside meandering streams, with each hole presenting a different view of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

The par-3, 7th hole is Shamokin’s signature hole. Although the scorecard puts the yardage at 180 from the White tees, the hole plays considerably shorter due to the dramatic 150-foot drop from tee to green. The tee shot is exhilarating with the Blue Ridge Mountains as the backdrop.

The Monocan nine is the shortest of the three nine-hole layouts at Stoney Creek. The holes wind through pristine wetlands, hardwood forests, and along meandering streams, often offering breathtaking views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. As you would expect from a course in the valley, most holes are relatively flat, with few elevation changes. But what the course lacks in elevation change, it makes up for in water hazards in the form of creeks and lakes/ponds. When you combine the peaceful Rockfish Valley with the sound of natural flowing water and woodland birds, you can forget about those bad shots.

The par-3, 5th hole is the layout’s signature hole. It’s dubbed the “Paw Print” green and gets its name from the four pot bunkers that surround the green and look like a paw print. It’s challenging, too. Playing 148 yards from the White tees, it’s all carry over Lake Monocan to the small green.

The Tuckahoe Nine is pure mountain golf. Water comes into play on four holes, and the hilly terrain comes into play on nearly every hole. The surrounding landscape alternates between gentle meadows and bold, wooded slopes. Dramatic elevation changes require that you pay attention to your footing and stance, especially on uneven lies. If that doesn’t get you, the undulating greens might. No putt is truly a “gimmee!” Jones’ signature mounding serves as a buffer, preventing balls from running too far afield, while simultaneously creating risk-reward opportunities for those willing to attack the pin.

It's important to get off to a good start at Tuckahoe, which may prove challenging as the 1st hole is a 429-yard, par 4. The hill on the left side tends to guide somewhat errant tee shots back towards the fairway, but if your drive drifts too far right, it’s in the lake. A good drive still left me a long iron into the raised, sloping green that is protected by bunkers on either side.

No matter how good or bad you played, take a step back and take in your surroundings. Breathe that fresh mountain air and get ready to do it all again tomorrow.“

“Very good! Maybe my 3rd time there. This time I ordered the street tacos which are chicken. Seasoning was great. Slightly spicy for me but sour cream helped and I'm a spicy lightweight. Three very filled soft tacos which was more than enough for me. Just as good as a leftover.“
