Restaurants in Crozet

“Great spot to kick back, enjoy the mountains views and relax. The food was amazing and so was the staff. After taking a while to discover it, Bar Botanical will definitely be a regular spot we’ll be visiting frequently.”

“SANDWICHES - Delicious sandwiches! Friendly staff, creative menu, fresh takes on old favorites. Kid friendly options too! Definitely recommend the Turkey Crunch, Ruben, Turkey Rachel, Hot Italian or Spicy Roni. The whole family loved it so much we visited 2 days in a row. We will be back.”

“The food is delicious and they have several gluten-free options that are designated well. My only complaint is that the seasoning is inconsistent. I've ordered the Chicken Pad Thai level three spicy, and I am unable to eat it. Other times I've ordered it level three spicy and I have to add more spice to it. Food shouldn't be luck-of-the-draw in terms of spiciness!”

“You know immediately when you have made the right choice! When planning a wedding, that is the key to all the pieces falling together in perfect synchronicity. As any bride and her parents know, planning from out of state can be a daunting task, but luckily, that was not the case for us. From the moment my daughter and I toured Old Trail Golf Club & Restoration, we knew we had found the ideal location. The outdoor ceremony space—with its breathtaking mountain backdrop, white guest chairs, and matching white arbor—set the stage for pure magic. The indoor dining room was the perfect size for our 100 guests, featuring a formal look and floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides that framed those gorgeous views. If that wasn't enough to sell us, the outdoor patio and tented area offered even more of those stunning mountain panoramas. Dancing under the stars has truly never looked so appealing!

Krista, the Director of Events was an absolute godsend, working flawlessly throughout the entire process alongside us and our wedding planner. She was incredibly accommodating, quick to respond to every question, and even stepped in with fantastic vendor suggestions when we hit a snag securing one. In particular, her recommendation of our officiant, Kayla Allen, was a home run. Kayla’s warm, friendly personality made everyone feel as though she was a lifelong family friend, rather than someone we had only spoken with a few times over the phone.

Beyond the stunning location and phenomenal staff, the food was fabulous. Unlike many venues in Virginia, Old Trail includes everything you need - meaning no running around renting and returning dining tables, linens, dishes, glasses, silverware, or chairs. Having the restaurant on-site was a massive factor in our decision, and the chef created the most delicious appetizers and a buffet that was absolute perfection.

If you are a bride looking for a wedding venue that you and your guests will remember forever, you should definitely host your event at Old Trail!”

“Wonderful wine, quiet and beautiful location. My husband and I enjoyed our picnic lunch on their patio with our sweet dog by our side. We even bought a couple bottles to go. There was an issue with the order but they went above and beyond to correct it quickly. We definitely plan to return!”

“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!”

“Great family restaurant that offers real northern style pizzas. They make their own fresh pasta and pizza sauce (unlike competitors canned sauces). subs are made on freshly baked homemade bread! Just yummy!!!”

“Solid beer, solid hangs. The staff is always cool/chill. We frequently strike up conversation with kind strangers.Starr Hill also has a great history in the craft beer/microbrewing industry.”

“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.”

“My husband and I picked tulips this morning and had a blast! It is late in the season but they still had so many beautiful flowers to pick from. Would highly recommend and we will be doing it again next year!!!”

“Came in hungry and they did not disappoint. The sandwich was fresh, made just how I like it, and the staff was actually really nice. Nothing fancy, just a good, easy experience. I’d come back for sure.”

“The nachos are amazing highly recommended. Amazing with beer. The smash burger is to die for. A must stop for lunch or just an outing. You won’t regret it. Taste just like home!”

“I have been to this place a few times. Last week I called in for chicken lo mein in party size and requested a couple adjustments. They honored every one of them and made it so delicious. Everyone who had the lo mein that night spoke highly of the quality and taste of it. Will surely come back!”

“Literally once a week fave spot. ❤️”

“This was our second time eating at Mi Rancho. Delicious authentic Mexican cuisine. Excellent and friendly service. Definitely coming back.”

“The Yellow Mug is my one of my favorite spots in Crozet! It’s a peaceful atmosphere both inside & outside. They also have delicious espresso drinks- I highly recommend!”

“Wonderful employees and ice cream!”

“Jaclyn is an amazing baker and artist! From ordering to designing to pick up, she and her team were a joy!”

“I tried your banana bread today. It was a little dry. Maybe adding a little more banana, would help. And some more nuts as well”

“Needed a quick bite before getting back on the road, super cute place and great coffee. Needed that pick me up big bad. Would come back if i’m ever back this way.”

“Beautifullll and spacious interior. Great matcha, but get ready to spend New York City prices on their drinks. Skip all of the loose leaf teas. Food and baked goods look meh.”

“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.”
