First time trying, the food was delicious and quick. The staff were super friendly and helpful. 10/10 would definitely recommend. Hot fresh food and cold hand scooped ice cream.

We stopped by for a quick lunch. Staff are very nice and accommodating. I forgot to take a photo of our food since we are all hungry BUT food was GREAT.I love their Roro's sauce( a sauce with a slight kick) ☺️ Lastly, we love the ice cream😍

Just had a great rest stop on our way home at the Amherst Corner. We had the Special Chicken and Dumplings and the Amherst Cowboy Burger with a side of Beans, both were OUTSTANDING. The waitress was super friendly and helpful. I highly recommend the Amherst Corner restaurant.

Such a great find! Good Eats! I had a hard time making up my mind with so many tempting menu options. Pricing was affordable as well. I was traveling and doing take out (which was served up within 5 minutes!) so I went with the Jumbo Beef Hotdog and a Rootbeer Float. Yum! The staff was so friendly!!! Thank you for a wonderful experience. I highly recommend 👌

Great diner food. We had a great double cheeseburger and chicken tenders, but other good options. Not sure, but seemed to be a very nice Amish family owning the restaurant. Fyi, take Hwy 151 &/or Hwy 56 for short drive to Blue Ridge Parkway .. curvy, but fun and beautiful.
