Mountain Mama's

"Exceptional!! We came here on 9/9/23 after a long hike over at Crabtree Falls and in need of nourishment. Based on the location and the reviews, we gave it a shot and boy were we happy!! We were disappointed at first by their lack of kid friendly options (I guess they don't get many children) but the owner (and chef) quickly remedied our disappointment with a kids meal on the house that she made up on the fly. WOW! Not only that, they gave my daughter a little figurine and some paint to play with while we waited. My friend and I both ordered the teriyaki salmon and it was SO perfectly cooked and well seasoned. And a complimentary cheese and fruit board AND included dessert?! Whaaaaat?! Woah! Zero complaints. And our waitress was top notch and couldn't be happier with her service. Thank you so much for giving us amazing food and service so we could relax. We truly appreciate you and will certainly mark this as our new favorite mountain restaurant to come to after we are done at our new favorite hiking spot :) well done!!"

"I can't say enough great things about this restaurant! We didn't have reservations, but they took us right in like we did. I even had a similar shirt on as the lady of the restaurant did. We were genuinely treated like family. Great people, great food! We were visiting from Cincinnati, Ohio. If I'm ever back in that Virginia area, I will definitely be eating at Mountain Mama Restaurant again!!"

"I highly recommend, we had the ribeye and shrimp and it was absolutely delicious. It even came with desert but had to take home to go. The staff are very friendly. We were staying at John and Olivia’s and they recommended this place, glad we listened. We will definitely return next time we are in Virginia."

"Wow, so yummy! We loved our seafood platter and dessert ( peanut butter brownie). It doesn't look like much on the outside but we were so impressed by the price and quality of food. The service was great as well which is always appreciated!"
