“enjoy a hike & a bite to eat!”
Enjoy a great day hiking and visiting Mabry Mill, then enjoy a delicious meal at Mabry Mill Restaurant. Visitors and locals alike come back year after year for Mabry Mill Restaurant's famous buckwheat cakes, country ham, and Virginia barbeque. Afterwards, stop by the Gift Shop and pick up your own pack of grits, cornmeal and buckwheat flour to take home for yourself or as a gift.
hundreds of thousands of people visit the Mabry Mill just to take photos of the beautiful mill itself. It is right on the Blue Ridge Parkway, you barely even need to pull over.
However, the adjacent restaurant is also FAMOUS for it's buckwheat pancakes. That being said...it's an acquired taste. I like unusual food but these are a bit heavy, somewhat sour, and dark color-wise. I had about half a pancake, but also got a sweat potato pancake and devoured that one. If I'd been up for it, I would've tried the cornmeal pancake as well! They serve breakfast all day, which is awesome. They also have a cute little shop.
Beautiful setting.. great for pix! We were disappointed in how expensive and "run of the mill"..( pun intended :-) the gift shop was.. We could get most of the items in the shop at any roadside stand with the exception of the Mabry Mills keychains and t-shirts etc.
The kids loved this place. We ate breakfast and spent about 2 hours total here.
