The Lookout at Hampton Inn Blue Ridge

We had dinner and drinks on the rooftop patio. The service was quick and friendly. The food was good but a little pricy. There were also heaters outside which were great. The over all vibe was nice and relaxing. There was also live music that was good.

We had dinner at the rooftop restaurant during our one-night stay at the hotel. It's a casual setup—you seat yourself. Our group of six chose a table toward the back by the window, which gave us a great view of the scenic train. It was a bit chilly, so we opted to stay indoors rather than sit outside. The waitress greeted us promptly and handed out menus. We placed our drink and food orders shortly after. I do wish the menu offered a few more options. My daughter and I shared the buffalo flatbread, which was very tasty, though she mentioned she would’ve liked more chicken on it. My husband ordered the chicken Caesar wrap and really enjoyed it. Overall, the place had a nice vibe—perfect for winding down the evening.

Nice view of the train. We ate here, because there aren't many places opened after 9pm on a Tuesday night. My husband's burger was overcooked. I ordered the margarita flatbread for my kids, and they had a bite or two and then didn't want to eat anymore. I had the Caesar salad and it was fine.

Great location and bar with a nice view atop the Hampton Inn. Service was a bit scattered, and the food—especially the cheeseburgers—was average. Fries aren’t available, and salads cost extra. Better for drinks than a full meal, but still a pleasant spot for cocktails.

This place is such a hidden gem, it would be easy to miss if you don't know it's there. Perfect for cocktails overlooking Main Street, or for light dinner or snacks. The donut bites are amazingly good. The wait staff were fantastic, I'm sorry I can't remember the name of the man who served us, but he was really friendly, recommended cocktails to us and remembered us the second time we came and what we'd ordered.
