Do not be fooled into believing you will have an off menu dining experience on a busy weekend for Radford or VT. I made our 6 person reservation 6 weeks in advance to celebrate our VT graduate with no mention of a fixed $45 charge for a poorly maintained, unenjoyable Buffett experience. Our experience was awful! Let’s start from the beginning…. The day of graduation, Thursday 5/15/2025 we had all of our kids making the trip for one day/night only from around the east coast. I wanted an elevated dining experience since we rarely are all together at the same time. We had 2 dining options when booking 6wks in advance; 8:15pm & 8:30pm leaving us to be grateful we “got in” considering how busy they were going to be. We chose 8:15pm. To our surprise upon entering the nearly empty restaurant there was a sign that graduation weekend was going to be a Buffett selection and not off menu. I was stunned and quite upset at that moment but for fear of embarrassment, fear of ruining an otherwise perfect day, the fact that it was a 25min out of the way drive, the late time and lack of options we agreed to be seated. I regret whole heartedly my decision! Do not make the same mistake as I did. Speak up right then. Let them know it was unprofessional and a complete disregard for their customers to change their menu without ever notifying guests with reservations made sometimes months in advance. The food was poorly presented, looking as though under heat lamps for hours clearly not turned over to fresh servings… in my opinion due to lack of people in the restaurant eating from the Buffett. Again… consult with the manager then. Do not settle and ruin your day with an ending as poor as Bee & Butter presented us with. After our graduation festivities were complete I began to feel regret and remorse for not providing an exceptional Experience for my family. Bee & Butter took that away from us. It sounds dramatic but The disappointment of not enjoying time together is overwhelming.

Food lacked any sort of flavor. Chopped steak was basically hamburger meat that I had to add seasoning to. Fries and drinks were tasty.

We ate here for Graduation weekend and you could only get the buffet for brunch which was $27.00 a person not including drinks and the food offered was not much of an assortment and did not come close to $27.00 a person for eggs, bacon, sausage, etc. Tried to get my mother a salad for dinner that night and they were only doing a dinner buffet. It seems if you are staying in the hotel you should be able to get a simple salad. Also, the service was very slow but this could of been due to their staff graduating. We had 6 people and a $200.00 bill was just over priced considering what we ate but we did enjoy the roof top and had drinks a few times and was very nice. I am sure if we had gone another time instead of graduation weekend it would have been better but was very disappointed. Thank you!

Very nice atmosphere with terrific views. The service was prompt, attentive, and polite. Nice menu options. The food entrée I ordered was overcooked (chicken). My wife's was cooked appropriately (salmon). We both ordered the same sides--greens an a pimento cheese wedge thing. The greens were tasty, the wedge not to my liking-different strokes... Accessing the restaurant was not exactly clear. It's located on the sixth floor of the newly built hotel. For a non-local, getting into the hotel parking lot was also not ideal. It's located in the middle of one-way access roads (one in, one out). That's no fault of the restaurant, just be aware if going there for the first time. When entering the hotel lobby to access the restaurant, I did not see clearly marked signs as to where it was located until reaching the elevators. Maybe it's there somewhere and I just missed it. The check-in desk was busy and I did not want to interrupt, prominent signage would be appropriate. Our experience was pleasant. Like most dining experiences, you pay a premium price nowadays. Our bill was $108 including gratuity for 2 people (1 starter-pimento cheese/baguette chips-excellent, 2 entrees/2 sides each, 3 beers). Overall, good experience and we may return again. The food, while good, was not exceptional. For me dining out is evaluated on three things: atmosphere, service, and the food. Bee and Butter ranked high in my opinion for atmosphere and service. The food was just okay and was not distinguished enough relative to cost in comparison to other available dining experiences in the area.
