Food Scene

Gravy flights, bacon of the day, and biscuit of the day. Don't let the long line out the door deter you; it moves very quickly & seats always seem to open up at the perfect time. It's counter service.

Go early, because the wait can get really long here. Everything is super fresh and delicious. Very homegrown vibe, plus they grow some of their own produce. Bustling and lively!

Some of the best vegetarian food I've ever had (I'm not a vegetarian btw). Awesome housemade elixirs too that can be made into a cocktail with a shot of vodka. Very friendly & cool decor too.

Drinks & Nightlife

This cider brewery has a coffeehouse vibe. I always get the flight and they do some inventive stuff with hops, ginger, and fruit flavors. Get the dip trio--they have like 8 to choose from, all good!

We love this space with its high ceilings and open floor plan. Skip their flagship beers that are sold in cans everywhere and go for small batch, only-at-the-brewery beers.

There is currently construction going on in the next to the laundromat, but they are still open. There's also a dollar store in the same strip mall if you need to kill some time while waiting on your laundry to finish.

This section of the Blue Ridge Parkway is steepest & has tons of overlook stops along the way to Skinny Dip Falls. Really cool, small waterfall for exploring or swimming. Hike is pretty challenging.
