We'd just been hiking and fishing nearby Gentry Creek and had worked up an appetite. The homemade chicken n' dumplings and great fixin's like baked apples and green beans was the perfect way to end the day. Be sure to get there on Sunday for family style meals at a great price. Great homemade desserts too like the standout strawberry shortcake, and fudge and cupcakes also. Like grandma's place off the beaten trail. Great hospitality. We'll definitely be back!

If you're hungry, this place will not disappoint. My only complaint would be that the seating area is sparsely decorated and felt cold. In other words, the dining area gave a totally different vibe than the great tasting food served in it.

Southern Sweets is a small bakery shop located in the Stone Mill Village in Abingdon. They offer a…read morevariety of sweets, such as cupcakes, cakes, cookies, pies, parfaits, and truffles. The hubs and I stopped by while we were in town, and we decided to try some of their cupcakes and milkshakes. They also seem to be a popular choice with the locals for catering and other private events.

I've visited this location several times before and have always had a good experience, which is why…read morethis visit was so disappointing. I ordered a milkshake, and when I received it, it was basically chocolate milk...very thin and lacking the thick, creamy consistency you'd expect from a milkshake. To make matters worse, I had to have it remade because the wrong ice cream was used the first time. I also noticed that the employee preparing my milkshake wasn't wearing gloves either time it was made, which was concerning from a food-handling standpoint. The service overall wasn't very friendly or attentive, and it just wasn't the level of service I've come to expect from this location. The one positive thing I can say is that the restaurant itself was very clean and well-maintained. I've come here multiple times and have never had an experience this bad before. I'm hoping this was just an off day because I've enjoyed my previous visits, but this visit was definitely disappointing.

The service is friendly and efficient, and the shop offers both indoor and outdoor seating. The seating indoors is limited, but there's several picnic tables outside. The prices are reasonable!

It wasn't the best macaron I've ever had, but it was certainly the biggest haha. Service was fast & friendly; ambiance isn't really applicable, Flavia's itself doesn't have seating. Street parking is free in Blowing Rock, I believe. 7.5/10 would recommend!

This place may be small but the desserts are outstanding. At least the two we finally chose...key…read morelime pie and blueberry lemon cake. Wow! Large enough to share and it's worth every dollar spent. We met the owner's daughter. She said she doesn't bake but her Mom bakes everything in the case--impressive. She said she's the taste tester. Not a bad position. The place is right on Main Street, but the front door faces the other way. We walked right by it and didn't see until we were walking back to our car.

I went in about 845 and they said it would be about a half an hour before the cupcakes where ready. So I came back an hour and half later. I got a cherry cheesecake cupcake and a red velvet cupcake. The cherry cheesecake was disgusting. It tasted like synthetic cherry. Like I was actually eating a cherry car scent mixed with candy hearts. The frosting on both were the same cream cheese frosting but they definitely needed to add more cream cheese because it was way way too sweet. Went in trash. Red Velvet cupcake itself was tasty. But these are regular size cupcakes and not worth the price. Was $5.22 for 2. I have worked at 2 legit bakeries and both of them we have to get there a minimum of four hours before opening to make sure we have all the product baked and set out. If not... That's how you lose customers.
