Lots of options for lunch with Boars Head lunch meat, salads, burgers. There is a gift shop, produce, bakery, kitchen. A tourist stop kind of place. Husband liked his Bridge Builder burger.

I had the mango chicken salad with poppy seed dressing. It was absolutely excellent, but the mangoes were dried. I get this is Virginia, fresh mangoes are hard to come by. Had the peach custard for desert. The taste was as excellent, but the graham cracker crust was really hard to cut. Everyone else had a wrap - they are big enough that unless you are really starving I'd order a half. This is our new go-to place every time we pass through!

It was great then, and as we have visited every 1-2 years since then, it's still great! We love the food variety, the presentation, the creativity. We've always had great service, whether we come alone or with the kids we've had since 2015. Highly recommend dinner here! It gets busy in the summer, regardless of the day, so just a heads up to be prepared/flexible.

When we went in, no greeting, no sign saying seat yourself or wait to be seated. We stood for a good bit as the waitress ignored us and then just sat ourselves. She offered a horrible response when we asked one were some popular dishes on the menu. She was snippy the whole time and led to a $5 tip. Food was great from Quesadillas, wings and for sure pies! The Blueberry pie was amazing!

Betty's vs Rustic Inn?? It's a split decision in our household. But seriously, there's no loser…read morewhen you get to eat pie. Rustic in. Has a nice sized parking lot but still find it difficult to find parking during peak times. The restaurant has nice home cooked food. The onion rings and meatloaf are favorites. Be sure to save room for pie at the end of your meal. My favorites are the caramel apple and the Northern Berry crumble. A whole pie is about $25, while a slice runs about $5. You can also just stop by the front counter for just pie if you don't want to sit for a meal. It gets a little crowded up at the front though. They should figure out the traffic flow at the entrance because there's also a small gift shop that also jams up the entrance/exit.
