American Restaurants near Natural Bridge

“Please note that I don't give 5 stars often. (I've seen to Cracker Barrel and given them them 3 stars, not because they're mediocre, but rather you get what you pay for. I came to Natural Bridge VA, one of my favorite places btw, to attend Luminary Night, and was staying at The Natural Bridge Hotel which I'll review separately. The tavern is on the first floor of the hotel, and I was hungry, having driven from my Gettysburg address ( I love saying that!) I was " that" person who was standing at the entrance at 5:25 when they opened at 5:30 PM. Mt server was Sherri who was reportedly new and very helpful and accommodating . She pointed out some interesting wall photos in the restaurant as well as main entrance, and took my order pronto afterwards. I decided upon my go-to, fish and chips, which was rather good. (I've posted a pic which you unfortunately can't taste.) A throng of people came in shortly afterwards as is typically the case, and Sherri kept checking in on me,even though I'm kinda low maintenance for the most part, or at least that's my humble opinion. I was there exactly 10 days before Christmas and was delighted by Christmas songs and yuletide decor. If you're visiting the Natural Bridge, have a bite at one of the dining facilities within the Natural Bridge Hotel. The prices are moderate, but as I've said, you get what you pay for. This is not a Subway hoagie type of place. I'll clearly returning here at my next visit, and so ought you!“

“Went to the red fox tavern. We relaxed in the lobby by the fire beforehand. They have an impressive set of beers on tap and a fully stocked bar. They gave us a sample of the beers and we just relaxed and enjoyed. All of the staff was very friendly and attentive.“

“Amazing service, perfect pizza, VERY WARM which was great as its 25° today.2 yo was being a screeching menace, running around. Our server was an angel and let us close the doors to that section of the restaurant, to contain the goblinKid-friendliness: Totally cool with screeching brats very accommodating“

“Has my vote for most interesting best place to eat around. The people there were super friendly and had no issue taking time to talk to us. Got the frog legs, was my first time having them. They were great. My GF had a burger and she was very happy with it. The chips are home fried. The tables were great and interesting to look at. The jukebox WORKS! Where else can you find that? One quarter/play at a time FYI. Totally worth it. We will definitely be back. WELL worth it!“

“Stopped for dinner, first visit. The specials were beef stroganoff and pot roast and my husband and I ordered both. It was delicious home style cooking and the staff was super friendly and wanted to be sure we enjoyed our meals. Recommend! Will be back :)“
