    Food freshly made to order and hot! Service by Katrina impeccable! Cute cozy old style decor took me back years. Very nice place in a very small town!

    Menu (March, 2024).

    We had been driving for a few hours, having started in Clarksburg, WV, over the curvy, mountainous Rte 250, and into Monterey, VA. It was a lazy Sunday afternoon in early March, 2024, and few establishments were open in Monterey. We spotted High's, and decided that it would be a good rest stop for desserts and hot beverages. Food. (Rating: 3/5). My husband ordered coffee and their Maple Berry Perfection Cake, while I got a hot tea and Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie. Of course, we split our desserts. All of our choices were okay, and "hit the spot" but we probably wouldn't order them again. The filling in my pie was tasty, but the crust was pale-colored and soft and gooey after having been warmed in the microwave. The Maple Berry cake was light on the berries. Both slices were of average size. The coffee was okay, but he prefers a stronger brew. My hot tea was Lipton, which is never sufficiently strong for me either. Value. (Rating: 1/5). We should've been more cautious in ordering when noticing that prices were not listed on the menu nor on the signage for desserts and drinks. We were quite surprised when the waitress gave us the bill for $22.11, before tip. Ambiance. (4/5). The decor is cute, and is described by the establishment as being reminiscent of a 1950s old-fashioned soda shop. There are photos of Hollywood actors, wooden booths on which graffiti is encouraged, and various items for sale (from baseball caps to maple syrup). The eating areas and bathrooms were clean. Service (3/5). We seated ourselves, and the waitress brought our menus relatively soon. Our desserts and hot drinks were somewhat slow to come out although the restaurant wasn't too busy. My husband also had to flag her down to get a refill on his coffee. There was also a bit of attempted upselling. Do you want ice cream on your pie? Would you like some cold drinks for your onward journey? There was free parking on the road in front of the restaurant.

    Chicken Pot Pie and Tomato Basil Soups with Reuben

    Cute, cute, cute..... While riding around the Allegheny Highlands, we happened upon this little town. This small restaurant was located across the street from the beautiful old Inn. Upon entering High's, we were promptly received and seated at the last remaining table. Our Tomato Basil and Chicken Pot Pie Soups were very good. We shared a Reuben Sandwich which was the special of the day. All in all just a delightful place for a meal among neighbors and friends.

    I cannot say enough great things about High's. Their food was so good, great portion size, and priced well. Additionally, the wait staff is so helpful, and patient! My nephew was being very particular with his dessert order and our waitress didn't blink an eye, only tried to work with him. She also was helpful and knowledgeable about whether items had gluten in them as I have celiacs. I ordered the smothered chicken (peppers, onions, mushrooms, cheese, bacon and BBQ sauce) with coleslaw and a baked potato for my sides. We each got dessert after my friend ordered mountain berry cake, my nephew a double scoop ice cream cone, and I got the maple milkshake.

    Grilled trout sandwich with crinkle fries

    Stopped in here for lunch while checking out Monterey. Really good food and wonderful service! The grilled trout sandwich was delicious and my husband said the Philly cheesesteak sandwich was, as well. If you're ever in town, definitely stop in here!

    The By & By Cafe and Beer Garden - Bacon, egg, and cheddar on an everything bagel

    The By & By Cafe and Beer Garden

    If you're looking for a chill and cool place that resembles Bill Hader's infamous Steffan character…read morefrom early 2010's SNL that also delivers one of the most excellent bagels I've had east of the Mississippi (but west of the Potomac), this place is for you. The back patio provided an utmost serene experience in one of the chillest corners of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The temptation to order a cheeky pint at 10am was real!!! Stay strong. Get the bagel Sammy.

    My partner and I came in this morning for bagels and coffee. The place has a cool vibe and is…read morecomfortable. It was pretty crowded, so we grabbed a table outside in the front. But a customer inside kindly came out and said they were leaving, offering us their inside table. (There's also the beer garden outside in the back for seating, which looks like it would be nice and comfortable.) I got an everything bagel with hummus and tomato. My partner got everything bagel, scallion cream cheese, tomato ($0.85 for tomato) and lox ($6 for the lox). Although everything tasted good, we both noticed that the bagels were really, really dense, tough and chewy. Like uncomfortably tough and chewy. My partner left one half of their bagel uneaten and I didn't finish mine. It looked great and the hummus and cream cheese and other toppings were fine, but the bagel was really, really tough. I'd like to believe that it isn't because the bagels were stale, but the thought crossed my mind. The coffee I had (dark brew) was outstanding, served in a nice, large mug. Excellent! Service was efficient. I considered a four-star review because the coffee was outstanding, but the bagels were really disappointing. It's too bad. It looks like a cool place, but their main food item appears to be bagels. Maybe it was a one-off, but I spent over $26 for two bagels and one coffee, and I don't plan to come back to find out.
