Love the food and the view. Service was fast, even with the crowds and government shutdown. The Brunswick stew was tasty on a cold fall day. I do miss the delicious white crab soup they used to have on the menu. It was as good as She crab soup from Va beach.

Great place to stop and eat while exploring Skyline Drive. There was a wait to be seated but they did give us the option to sit in another dining room. We declined because we wanted to sit in the dining room with the view. We waited about 30 minutes but it wasnt too bad. We got lucky and got a table directly beside the window. We really appreciated the view! We ordered the wings and brussel sprouts for an appetizer. They were really good! My son and I got the Forrester Pasta with chicken. We really enjoyed it. I added a salad. It was really fresh with a nice variety of veggies! My husband got the Roasted Half Chicken with mashed potatoes and asparagus. He didn't love his meal. The portion of the sides were small and he said the chicken was not well seasoned. My youngest son got the burger. It was a good size for a kid meal. He loved the fries that came with it. Our boys ordered dessert, too! The Creme Brulee Cheesecake and Flourless Chocolate Torte were both delicious! Our server was very attentive and sweet. She went out of her way to take some wonderful pictures for our family to remember our experience. We will definitely dine here again!

Definitely worth the long wait during peak foliage season! We were not expecting much since it is basically just about the only game in town for lunch (1 of 2 park restaurants) and considering the aount of people they have to service every day, but boy were we pleasantly surprised by the quality and taste of the food here. Had the burrata salad and a pulled smoked pork sandwich split between two of us, and the blackberry lemonade. Everything was as good as it sounded (and then some). We lucked out and got a window table to enjoy the majestic view of the fall trees. We finished our meal with the most delicious blackberry ice cream pie, which was reason alone to go there for! Highly recommended.

Overall, we had an excellent evening at the Pollock Dining Room.
The restaurant is located at The Skyland lodge which is within the national park itself. About a 30 minute drive from Luray, into the park. As a bonus, we caught the sunset on the way to the restaurant which was breathtaking to say the least.
In terms of the restaurant, there is a larger dining room which has large open windows to allow patrons to take in the spectacular views, facing the sunset. A smaller dining room adjacent to that is where we sat which does not provide access to the views. There is an outdoor seating area as well, but was a bit too chilly for that.
I wouldn’t say you are coming to this restaurant just for the food. It’s for the overall experience. That being said we enjoyed our meals, especially the blackberry cobbler for dessert. A bit on the expensive side as well, but again you are paying for the ambience.
The service was friendly and the food came out much faster than I was anticipating which was a pleasant surprise.
We had live music as well, a pleasant added bonus.
The restaurant does not take reservations which was a bit frustrating but understandable. Knowing this I did try to call the hotel ahead of time to get a gauge on the wait, but I was not able to reach anyone after multiple calls.
Just make sure you plan ahead and come early to get a table because again, it’s located within the park itself and is about a 30 minute drive from any other restaurants (closest probably being Luray).
