Hellbender's Cafe

Great lunch or snack stop on the way down the Creeper Trail from Whitetop heading towards Damacus, and Abingdon. Lots of surrounding natural beauty along with lots of happy fellow bicyclist.

Such a fun little place to stop and eat while riding the Creeper Trail. We had really friendly service, and the tables and restrooms were remarkably clean despite the huge crowds that stop here every day. Expect to wait a while to get your food, because this is a small spot and the only place to get a meal on the trip from Whitetop to Damascus.

Loved stopping here during our bike ride on the creeper trail. The chicken salad wrap was refreshing and the fries were crispy and delicious. It can get busy if there are a lot of riders but there is plenty of seating among all the beautiful creation.

One of 2 cafe options along our 17 mile section of the creeper trail! Pretty standard section of quick service food... But the corn dog was fresh battered and super delicious!

Pork sandwich, peach shake, lemonade! Great WiFi, comfortable picnic tables with umbrellas for shade. Great pit stop off the Appalachian trail, or on the creeper trail!
