7 Best American Restaurants near Crozet

“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!“

“We used Restoration as our venue for a family wedding. It was fantastic! An outside covered patio with stunning mountain views for cocktails and appetizers. Then an event room with windows on three sides with views for our 50 person dinner, ceremony and reception. The food was excellent and plenty of it. Krista and Haley were a joy to work with on all the little details that made the evening such a wonderful success. It was easy to have vendors come in to set up the cake and flowers too. Krista is very accommodating and genuinely wants to help create special memories of a special day. 🤗“

“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.“

“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.“

“We rented the full farmhouse and cottage for my daughter’s wedding, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. From the service to the food to the atmosphere, every detail added to the joy of the weekend. I especially loved watching the lambs and sheep play in the barnyard each morning—it was such a charming touch. They graciously accommodated a bridesmaids’ brunch and were flexible with wine hours and breakfast timing, which made everything feel relaxed and personalized. We truly couldn’t be happier with our choice.“

“Ive been there twice after a backpacking trip and I love the service, food, views and beer“

“We can’t say enough good things about our experience at Duner’s! We had mixed drinks, appetizers, entrees, salads, soups and dessert. There were 6 of us and we all agreed EVERYTHING was delicious! Usually at most restaurants there’s at least one thing that isn’t as great when that much is ordered, but that definitely wasn’t our experience! We each tried a bite (or more) of everything that was ordered and we couldn’t have been more impressed! The only downside is the noise level, which unfortunately we contributed to a good bit, but the staff handled our larger party with grace and patience! The excellent food and service more than makes up for the noise. Highly recommend!!“
