Cozy, inviting, and consistently delicious—Blue Ridge Grill nails elevated comfort food. The filet is tender, the salmon perfectly cooked, and the cornbread with honey butter is a must. Great service and warm atmosphere make it a go-to for date night or dinner with friends.

One of the best meals I have ever had. From management to server to food preparation. They nailed it all. My prime rib blackened was amazing and my wife’s filet was perfect. So impressed all around.
