    Eggs Benedict
    Austin R.

    Eggs Benedict was amazing. The hollandaise sauce was phenomenal and the fries in the sauce just melts into your mouth. My fiancé got the gravy and biscuits with an egg and bacon and sausage and she loved hers just as much gotta check this place out! They were really busy, seemed short handed but other than that they would have got a 5 food was amazing !!!

    BLT with fruit
    Jessica L.

    This was an okay spot- the service was great, even though their sign says they are short staffed. We got sat within about 20 minutes on a Sunday late morning. I ordered the BLT, but was missing mayo! It was a bummer, but I do like how you can order fruit, tots, or a few other options for the side. I probably would try a different restaurant when I'm in the area again, but it was a cute outdoor area where we waited to be sat. The service was really and truly top notch, and all the servers were so lovely.

    Corned Beef Hash (from can) with a side of very over cooked bacon.

    Three stars means okay so that's what BumbleBee's gets from me! The food was just barely okay, the service was just barely okay and the wait time all around was not okay. We waited about 10 minutes then one of the servers put a sign out saying to sign into a spiral notebook and wait outside where we waited another 10 minutes. Yes, there is a very large sign in the window that says they are short staffed but apparently it's been there for a couple few years now so not sure how relevant it is. Seems more staff could have been added by now! Our order was taken shortly after we were seated so that was good! The 45 minute wait for our food definitely wasn't good!! For what we ordered and what was delivered, there's no way it should have taken that long, even if there was only one cook! I got a tuna melt sandwich and hubby got the corned beef hash and eggs. The tuna melt is small, just on regular white bread like at home, and sadly there was no tomato. The tater tots were hot, that's always a plus! The eggs were cooked as ordered but the corned beef is straight out of the can, barely warmed up. The bacon was way over cooked and the French toast was very soggy. We ate all our food, it was edible although very lacking in so many areas. We were just traveling through town so not sure what else is available in the area but unfortunately, I can't recommend Bumblebee's.

    Interior, so cozy!

    Such a great mom-n-pop feeling diner! The food was all incredible & the staff was so friendly. The tuna melt was delicious as was the fried okra side. Cute interior!

    This resturaunt literally turned us down for having a party of 7. We have nothing else to say except that is absolutely ridiculous the hostess says they only have one cook and they won't take us because we have a party of seven. I wish I could say something about their food. I will never go back to this resturaunt. How absolutely insane.

    We went for lunch one day and they had smoked pork chops that were amazing. The green beans were fresh and the service was great.

    This was such a wonderful evening! We made a reservation on Resy. It worked out great. We were…read moreseated right away. Our server was named Alyssa. She was super sweet and took great care of us. We were celebrating something special and she made sure our night was memorable. They started us off with the bread, which was absolutely delicious. Get the bread!!!! We ordered the pork belly for an appetizer. It was absolutely delicious. I ordered the shareable mac & cheese, and a salad that I customized. Alyssa went out out of her way to make sure that my salad was just how I wanted it. They were so nice about it. My dining partner ordered the black and blue fillet. It was cooked perfectly and was delicious. We both really loved the macaroni and cheese. They celebrated us with a bread, pudding, dessert and a really sweet card! When they presented the bill, they brought over housemaid chocolates that were absolutely delicious. We loved this restaurant so much and we cannot wait to return!

    My friends and I came here for brunch during a visit to Blue Ridge. The ambiance and service were…read morereally wonderful and we were excited for our meal since it was a bit of a splurge for us. The food is the reason for the reduction in stars. We started with the shrimp and scallop fondue, which sounded so much better than it tasted, and the toasted bread it's served with was heavily salted and not enjoyable. My friends had the ribeye and said it was mediocre. I had the shrimp biscuit and only ate a few bites. The BBQ sauce was heavily salted and not pleasant, and the cheddar cheese just seemed like it didn't belong. As a cheese lover, this is the first time in over 60 decades that I've actually removed the cheese from a dish. I took the leftovers with me since I hate wasting food and ate the biscuit with some butter and the shrimp by themselves the next day. It still wasn't very good, but at least I didn't waste it. On the plus side, the cinnamon rolls were absolute delicious and were a bargain at $8 for six! They were the highlight of our meal. We also enjoyed the creme brûlée very much. Since the restaurant is pricey and so many of the dishes were a disappointment, we all agreed that we probably won't return to give it another try. We don't want to risk spending that much money again on a not-so-great meal.

    Well I apologize for the very long delay on submitting this review. Yanno life gets in the way…read more.. Anyhoo, this place.... Wow... Really really enjoy this establishment. Not only it was on my birthday in which we celebrated. But our excursion to the mountains for the long weekend was a fantastic time. As you can see through the pictures we really went all the way my dish was as abundance of seafood that you could have with an amazing cioppino sauce that was also soppable with crusty garlic bread. The beverages were on point, they have a great menu of bourbons. Will not disappoint. As a surprise they gave me a flourless chocolate Bundt cake to take home with a candle. Being with the family is always a warm unforgettable experience. There is something to be said about being surrounded by people who care and love so much. I'm in bliss. Until next time ...

    We recently visited Whiskey and Water Seafood and Bourbon Bar and had an overall enjoyable…read moreexperience with a few standout items. For drinks, the Sweater Weather was the clear winner--well-balanced and thoughtfully crafted. The combination of Bulleit rye, La Pommiere Calvados, and sorghum created a smooth, seasonal cocktail with nice depth. The Properly Poached was decent but didn't quite impress in the same way; the Brugal Añejo, pear liqueur, dark wildflower honey, and pink salt made for an interesting profile, though it leaned a bit flat compared to the first cocktail. We started with the broiled sweet crab dip served fondue-style with pita chips, which was a great opener. It was warm, creamy, and rich, with good crab flavor that made it easy to keep going back for more. For entrées, the blackened mahi fish tacos were fresh and flavorful. The mango pico added a nice brightness, and the cilantro crema tied everything together nicely on the corn tortillas. The smash burger was another solid choice--juicy double patties with melted American cheese, crispy onion rings, house sauce, and house-made pickles that added a great tangy crunch. Service was ok waitress took a bit to bring the drinks and then the food took about 30+ minutes luckily we were entertained by talking to locals that we really weren't concerned. Overall, the restaurant delivers a pleasant upscale-casual dining experience with well-executed comfort favorites and creative cocktails. Definitely worth a visit, especially for the crab dip and the Sweater Weather cocktail and the fish tacos those were my overall favorites. Prices are mid range. Note that the restaurant as most restaurants in the Blue Ridge close early.
