Lovely cup of love
Jim H.

Really cool, small space. Very friendly, you can tell it's a staple in the area with staff & customers greeting each other by name. A simple holler breakfast with some biscuits & gravy on the side. Decided to load up early in the day . Tasty, stick to your bones breakfast. So good. Only complaint is the bacon wasn't very crispy but good nonetheless. (Didn't order it crispy so...) Really impressed with the warmth of the place and the people. Recommended getting off the beaten path to check out this gem.

Stopped in today with my momma who lives nearby to look at the cute little decorative gourds inside. We didn't eat but the menu looked good and it's larger with more seating inside than it looks. The staff were really friendly and they had some cool items for sale around the back across from the kitchen like local honey, maple syrup, snacks and drinks, and outdoor-themed goodies like mugs and cups and practical things like scarves and cutlery and matches. It's kinda in the middle of nowhere so if you're here you either live here or you're passing through but it's a small gem off the beaten path for sure.

Our take-out meal before sitting around the campfire on this cool and starry evening. We both opted for this totally loaded BLT and chips. Calling in our order before 7PM was a snap. This quaint little place was busy, friendly and warm. The BLT was packed full with (guess what) - Bacon, Lettuce & Juicy Tomato. With the perfect touch of mayo, salt & pepper. Great little place!

Italian sub to go

I have wanted to try Gertie's since a friend in Richmond told me about it. I was out hiking in the area this morning and stopped by for a sandwich after the hike. Nice, clean little place run by a young couple who were very nice. There is quite a bit of seating for such a small place, but I imagine this little gem is packed on the weekends especially. People have written notes all over the walls in there. It has that sort of vibe, so if you are going to Vesuvius for fine dining, move on.... I ordered an Italian sub to go so I could take it up on the parkway. They were not busy since it was before noon on Thursday when I showed up. I was offered all the options on my sub so it was a really custom build! Really good sub, good value. Loaded with meat, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, oil and vinegar, some mayo. I will bring a friend or two the next time for a couple beers and a meal. You cannot go wrong with Gertie's, even though it is the only place to eat in the area. I am looking forward to trying it again soon. Great hike, great little restaurant, great trip back to Waynesboro on the Parkway.

Gertie's steak cheese! Delicious!  Great stop and wonderful owners!!!!

Great service and steak and cheese was outstanding! Onion rings yummy!!!! Hope to see them again!

Delicious homefries... wanted more!

Truly an incredible dinner experience all around. I wish I lived closer so I could come back more…read moreoften! We arrived early to get our champagne and walk around the property, which is gorgeous. We were seated in a private dining area, with special menus that said "Happy Birthday", since I let them know I was celebrating there. The service is top notch. But beware, you can't add more guests to your party after a certain time so if anything changes with your reservation, let them know ASAP! The wine pairings with each meal were fabulous. I especially liked trying the ice wine at the end with dessert. I also love that they change the menu and are seasonal! Our menu was dreamy! The first course shrimp and grits had us all licking our plates. We even asked the chef at the end how he made the grits. Perfect!! The next round was an interesting goat cheese and corn soup. Loved the pumpkin seeds with it. Then....the filet. YUMMMM! Now they don't ask you how you like it cooked but we all got rare which was fine. The asparagus was nice with it too. The dessert topped it all off, with a perfect peach compote and almond cake that had us all delighted. Or maybe it was all the wine. Not to be missed is the pipping hot French press coffee we all enjoyed after dinner. Again, superior service, cozy atmosphere, and we enjoyed our convo with the chef afterwards. It was certainly a special occasion for the price, but in my party's opinion, very worth it and a night we will not soon forget.

I had a perfect one night stay at The Farmhouse. It was spacious, clean, beautiful, and luxurious…read more This was my third time staying at a bed & breakfast but this was my best experience. Our room came with a complimentary bottle of wine, which was really nice. They also have a wine hour that is self service and is complimentary. You're allowed as much wine as you want. There's also complimentary charcuterie during the wine hour and it's nice to be able to mingle with other guests. Breakfast the morning of us checking out was delicious and a truly beautiful experience. I wish I was still there.

I was already not in the mood for anymore drinking after spending a weekend in a major tournament in Lynchburg. Anyways, for a Saturday evening, this place was pretty packed both inside and outside. We both ended up getting a flight of beers each and every one was great. The food surprised me as my fish tacos was super fresh. The chips and queso was also great. Overall, a must see - especially for the view of the mountains if you decided to eat outdoors.

Brewery # 445…read more Devil's Backbone is a very large operation it seems. They make beer, the make bourbon, and they make food. They just do them all very slowly or at least they did when I was there. We came here on a Monday evening, and it was somewhat busy but there were visible empty tables and a couple spots at the bar. We went to the bar and waited awhile before the bartender asked what we wanted. I didn't ask for a flight because he seemed too busy. Whatever I wanted they were out of, but I ended up with an Imperial 16-point IPA which was quite tasty. I also got some chicken nachos, but I had to go stand in line to order them. They were adequate but not worth the wait. The place was very disorganized. They had workers always standing by the hostess desk, but the bartender was overwhelmed. Seemed like they should have had more than one, after all it is a brewery. Would have loved to try more beer but we just left and went back into Lexington for another round at another place. I don't know maybe it was just a bad night.

The prime rib was cooked well, the mussels were flavorful, and the barbecue platter had a good variety. The service was great--fast, courteous, and attentive without making us feel rushed. The restaurant was clean and had a nice atmosphere. It felt lively and energetic, but it was not too loud to have a conversation. Overall, this was a solid dinner and a place I would recommend when visiting Staunton. I would definitely eat here again.

COVID -19 ended years ago, so what's the excuse when inflation is less than 5% annually. I would love to continue visiting, but I can't justify prices that egregiously expensive, particularly in this economy. And it seems to have started in 2025. See the photos. Mill Street BBQ Platter: $22.99 $40.99 (+78%) St. Louis Combo: $22.99 $40.99 (+78%) Flintstone Platter: $29.99 $51.99 (+73%) Beef Ribs Full Rack: $23.99 $58.99 (+146%) And before anyone blames beef prices: per the Bureau of Labor Statistics, retail ground beef went up about 24% from December 2024 to August 2026, and wholesale beef is only up about 3% over the past year. That doesn't come close to explaining a 146% jump on beef ribs. I hope the prices can come back down to Earth sometime soon. Fair pricing was always one of the primary reasons I recommended your restaurant.

After waiting about 20 minutes our server brought us a roll baked inside of a small crock and served with a tiny serving of cherry butter. The roll was warm but not warm enough to melt the butter. The cherry butter was amazing and something I've never tried; it was the best part of our meal. Our meals finally arrived after another 15 or 20 minutes. The chicken had clearly been grilled to order and was cooked long past done. It was a dry, flavorless morass. The flavorless "stuffing" was unlike any other stuffing I've ever had, but it clearly had been cooked in the past and was just bad. The promised hot honey was MIA. My sweet potato casserole had likely been sitting in the cooler until scooped up, thrown in a serving tray and moved to the oven. If the casserole had been freshly prepared it would have been excellent, but as served it was lukewarm, unattractively presented and tasted like leftover sweet potato casserole that was past its prime. My dining companion tried the corn pudding and thought it wasn't bad but it also looked like it was dredged up from the cooler. Olde Liberty Station's kitchen is in need of an overhaul. We won't be back.

This place is so great! My girlfriend and I were not staying at the resort, but we drove 17 minutes…read moreto have breakfast here (not really realizing where it was exactly), and we were so glad we did! There was a 30-minute or so wait, so we got coffee from the Starbucks inside the resort and found two chairs outside with a view while we waited. We were then called to come to our table, and we sat outside for the view (beginning of October). I got the lemon mascarpone stuffed blueberry compote French toast (delicious- no need for the syrup!) and she got the skillet (also very good, but would've been better if it came served on a hot skillets not a plate- still very tasty!). The service was excellent and we were tended to frequently. We would DEFINITELY come again- we very much so enjoyed ourselves!

I could not taste anything in this dish other than simply butter and noodles which is disappointing because the restaurant has potential and ambience was nice. If it wasn't for great service and a very nice Cabernet Sauvignon (Honest Thief at $11 a glass but I ended up buying a bottle to go) this restaurant would have 2 stars. Wintergreen needs to step it up on the resort. Their local bar/restaurant "The Edge" should not have better food than the fine dining restaurant.
