I had the mountain rainbow trout and it was quite good! My partner got a biscuit and gravy dish and liked it a lot as well. She wasn't a fan of the spiced apples however. The sweet potato fries were also great! The waiter was courteous and fast, we were served in a matter of minutes although I will add we got there when it was empty and by the time we left it was packed. I can see where wait times could get high. Overall a nice and homey spot.

The staff is friendly, makes good recommendations, and will make sure you're taken care of. We visited with a large group and didn't realize we stayed past their closing, but the team was great and didn't try to push anyone out the door. It helped since we felt bad! The Monte Cristo was the table favorite. The portions are huge so be prepared to take food home. The Wedge salad had good reviews as did the chicken sandwich. There wasn't a single complaint from our group. The food has a nice twist to make it more special - and more tasty. You won't regret your visit and you'll likely enjoy anything you order!

Visiting Blue Ridge and stoped by Mercier Orchards on a perfect cold day. Let me just say this is a…read morepopular tourist attraction so it had its fair share of people so come with some patience. Outside it has some beautiful views worth stopping for a photo and stopping at the bakery inside for some fried pies and cider donuts are a must! The fried pies were okay but the Cider Donuts are a show stopper. They also have tons of other things like fruits and veggies, toys, books, figurines, wine and more!

First things first -- get ready for a drive. This place is…read morenot just "down the street." It's a journey. But let me be very clear: it is 100% worth it. From the moment you arrive, you can tell Mercier Orchards is something special. There is so much packed into this one location that it almost feels like a small village built around apples and everything that comes with them. Inside the main store, the selection is honestly overwhelming in the best way possible -- home goods, gifts, jams, jellies, preserves, baking mixes, sauces, butters, ciders... anything and everything apple-related, plus plenty of other fruit-based goodies. It's the kind of place where you say "I'm just going to browse" and then walk out with bags of stuff you didn't know you needed. Then there's the bakery. Seven lines. All long. And all moving surprisingly well. I eventually stepped out of line after about 15 minutes, but not before getting a solid look at the pastries, pies, breads, and desserts -- everything looked incredible. Even without buying anything that round, the bakery alone is worth the stop. Now let's talk about the apple picking experience -- because this is where the magic really happens. Riding out on a trailer attached to a tractor felt like something straight out of a fall movie. The views, the air, the vibe -- it's peaceful, exciting, and nostalgic all at the same time. The apples change with the season, and the ones we picked were delicious and lasted a long time. No pesticides, just straight calcium. Fresh, crisp, and perfect. And yes... get a bag or three like I did. You're going to want them. The entire place also makes for amazing photo opportunities. Whether it's the orchard, the tractor ride, the store, or the scenery -- this is one of those spots where your camera roll is guaranteed to fill up. The only negative moment of the day happened when I went to grab some cider and one of the guys behind the counter completely ignored me. I actually had to call him out -- like, "Did you not see me standing here?" Not great. But that one interaction couldn't even come close to outweighing everything else this place offers. Bottom line: If you're anywhere in the area -- or even thinking about making a day trip -- you absolutely have to go. It's a little off the beaten path, so I don't expect most people to just "stumble" upon it... but if you plan it, you won't regret it. This is an experience, not just a stop.

Food was good until my date said she found a hair in her food, we dug it out and it was so long she got sick to her stomach. I then looked at my plate and found two different hairs on my food. Since I try to be understanding I scooted them aside and finished eating. Food was alright, did I expect a Michelin star meal? Of course not. Did I expect cafeteria food? Not really, but that's what we got. We paid (price was murder btw,) and left. That's just nasty, and considering it was my first time at a waffle king, it may very well be my last.

They simply could not have been better if they tried. Five stars if review was on service only! Food was not awesome. My mom's waffle was doughy and a little undercooked in the center. My dad's hash browns didn't have that golden brown crust and texture you expect with diner hash browns. Looking around the restaurant, other tables did, they just missed it for his, they were pale and sad looking. My grilled chicken was obviously out of a Tyson bag, but tasted fine. One thing on the menu that was very peculiar was adding melted cheese to your pie. Like why?? I do not want cheese on my pecan pie, thank you very much. Easy location with plenty of parking! It was hopping and looks like they stay quite busy all the time! If you need a quick breakfast and to fill a hunger, this is the place!

We were celebrating something special and she made sure our night was memorable. They started us off with the bread, which was absolutely delicious. Get the bread!!!! We ordered the pork belly for an appetizer. It was absolutely delicious. I ordered the shareable mac & cheese, and a salad that I customized. Alyssa went out out of her way to make sure that my salad was just how I wanted it. They were so nice about it. My dining partner ordered the black and blue fillet. It was cooked perfectly and was delicious. We both really loved the macaroni and cheese. They celebrated us with a bread, pudding, dessert and a really sweet card! When they presented the bill, they brought over housemaid chocolates that were absolutely delicious. We loved this restaurant so much and we cannot wait to return!

My friends and I came here for brunch during a visit to Blue Ridge. The ambiance and service were…read morereally wonderful and we were excited for our meal since it was a bit of a splurge for us. The food is the reason for the reduction in stars. We started with the shrimp and scallop fondue, which sounded so much better than it tasted, and the toasted bread it's served with was heavily salted and not enjoyable. My friends had the ribeye and said it was mediocre. I had the shrimp biscuit and only ate a few bites. The BBQ sauce was heavily salted and not pleasant, and the cheddar cheese just seemed like it didn't belong. As a cheese lover, this is the first time in over 60 decades that I've actually removed the cheese from a dish. I took the leftovers with me since I hate wasting food and ate the biscuit with some butter and the shrimp by themselves the next day. It still wasn't very good, but at least I didn't waste it. On the plus side, the cinnamon rolls were absolute delicious and were a bargain at $8 for six! They were the highlight of our meal. We also enjoyed the creme brûlée very much. Since the restaurant is pricey and so many of the dishes were a disappointment, we all agreed that we probably won't return to give it another try. We don't want to risk spending that much money again on a not-so-great meal.

Generous portion, and "clean", delicious flavor - just the right amount of mayo for the palate. I like dark beers, and Bridgette (the server) suggested one that was a perfect complement to my sandwich. My wife had what she described as the best reuben sandwich of her life! Bridgette explained that it was due to their making it with pastrami rather than corned beef. My wife offered me a bite: MELTED IN MY MOUTH! My daughter, who likes health food, got the veggie wrap. Delicious and huge - she couldn't finish it! Excellent food and service, adorable setting, with a variation of tables and booths. Don't miss it when you're in Blue Ridge!

Not only it was on my birthday in which we celebrated. But our excursion to the mountains for the long weekend was a fantastic time. As you can see through the pictures we really went all the way my dish was as abundance of seafood that you could have with an amazing cioppino sauce that was also soppable with crusty garlic bread. The beverages were on point, they have a great menu of bourbons. Will not disappoint. As a surprise they gave me a flourless chocolate Bundt cake to take home with a candle. Being with the family is always a warm unforgettable experience. There is something to be said about being surrounded by people who care and love so much. I'm in bliss. Until next time ...

We recently visited Whiskey and Water Seafood and Bourbon Bar and had an overall enjoyable…read moreexperience with a few standout items. For drinks, the Sweater Weather was the clear winner--well-balanced and thoughtfully crafted. The combination of Bulleit rye, La Pommiere Calvados, and sorghum created a smooth, seasonal cocktail with nice depth. The Properly Poached was decent but didn't quite impress in the same way; the Brugal Añejo, pear liqueur, dark wildflower honey, and pink salt made for an interesting profile, though it leaned a bit flat compared to the first cocktail. We started with the broiled sweet crab dip served fondue-style with pita chips, which was a great opener. It was warm, creamy, and rich, with good crab flavor that made it easy to keep going back for more. For entrées, the blackened mahi fish tacos were fresh and flavorful. The mango pico added a nice brightness, and the cilantro crema tied everything together nicely on the corn tortillas. The smash burger was another solid choice--juicy double patties with melted American cheese, crispy onion rings, house sauce, and house-made pickles that added a great tangy crunch. Service was ok waitress took a bit to bring the drinks and then the food took about 30+ minutes luckily we were entertained by talking to locals that we really weren't concerned. Overall, the restaurant delivers a pleasant upscale-casual dining experience with well-executed comfort favorites and creative cocktails. Definitely worth a visit, especially for the crab dip and the Sweater Weather cocktail and the fish tacos those were my overall favorites. Prices are mid range. Note that the restaurant as most restaurants in the Blue Ridge close early.
