“We ordered catering from Nora and The Farmhouse for a 20th anniversary celebration at a house on SML. Nora was so easy to work with and helped guide us in the right direction for food for 15 people (adults + kids). The quality and taste of the food was amazing and all guests raved about the charcuterie board, veggie tray (especially the ranch dipping sauce) and BBQ + fixings. Delivery was fast and the food was hot and ready to go. The little leftovers we had were still incredible heated up the next day. Would definitely recommend for your next special occasion!“

“We arrived at Moosies by boat. There was a minimum wait time. We had 7 people in the dinner part. The service was very slow. The Waitress was very nice, but they seemed to be very understaffed. So everything took alot of time. Getting drink order taken. Getting our drinks. Having the order taken and receiving our food. The food was all very food. We were completely understanding that the waitress and bar staff didn't have enough help.

“A must-visit gem at Smith Mountain Lake!

Copper Kettle Co. in Moneta, Virginia absolutely exceeded our expectations. Every dish was outstanding, starting with the seared tuna appetizer, which was delicate, fresh, and perfectly executed. The filet and lobster tail were phenomenal—cooked flawlessly and full of flavor. The mahi mahi in coconut cream sauce was light, beautifully balanced, and perfectly seared, proving this kitchen truly understands seafood.

Even the sides deserve praise—the sautéed buttered carrots were hands-down the best we’ve ever had. The steak and seafood options are ideal for a special vacation dinner, and the wine selection is fantastic. We especially loved the sommelier’s recommendation of The Language of Yes blend, which paired perfectly with our meal.

The service and atmosphere were amazing, warm, attentive, and welcoming. We sat on the patio on a gorgeous fall day, and the sunset over the Blue Ridge Mountains was breathtaking—the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable evening.

Copper Kettle Co. is truly a must-check-out spot when visiting Smith Mountain Lake. We can’t wait to return“

“Good service, the food is good, but not great. Very expensive for what you get. I got cube steak, mashed potatoes, green beans, and diet Mt Dew, $20.00 counting tax. Had to pay extra for rolls.“

“We didn't visit but we got their milk at Food City in Dayton TN. Our regular brand of A2 milk was sold out and I spotted their milk in a glass bottle so we tried it. My husband says it's thicker and really liked it. I didn't realize until he used it up that it was A2 or I would have had some myself. I wish they were close by so I could purchase more of their products!“

“Great food and service on a Sunday afternoon! Very nice waterfront setting. I highly recommend!“

“I LOVE the atmosphere at Mangos, great food and drinks and the live music, especially when The Frequency is playing! 🎶🎶 And… I can’t believe I’m saying this part out loud, BUT I AM older now… (but still running against the wind) 🤦‍♀️ 😉 The music is often much too loud. You can’t hear the person beside you talk. The music is great, but I still like to be able to have a conversation, too. Overall, I LOVE MANGO’S and always look forward to going there for a night out!“
