If you're looking for ambiance, the North Star restaurant isn't for you. If you're looking for an…read moreexcellent burger and are near Buchanan, VA, the North Star will not disappoint. The North Star is a clean Virginia roadside diner offering delicious food. My neighbor and I were visiting Buchanan to have his John Deere mower serviced, and we asked the salespeople where we could get a good lunch. The staff unanimously recommended the North Star, but we were cautioned not to order the double-cheeseburger unless we were very hungry. They were right. It is rare to get a burger prepared exactly the way I prefer one (cheese, ketchup, and loaded with grilled onions), and the North Star didn't disappoint. My friend ordered the double-cheeseburger and loved his meal as well. The fries were really good, and reminiscent of New York diner fries. My wife and I have been back more than a few times when we are in the mood for an excellent burger.

I have no problem paying top dollar for a good steak and if I cook bison at home it usually turns out pretty good. Bison is low in fat and can be a little tough.

Potato salad was also tasty and the fried green tomatoes were a nice appetizer. Our waitress Shelia was very attentive and on the spot. The ambiance was nice.

A other server was held up at her other job, thus Lee Ellen was hustling extra hard. She remained unfazed, pleasant, and helpful. Today I tried the Black Bean Burgereith jalapeño pepper cheese as well as a side of green beans as they were out of both French fries and sweet potato fries. I also ordered their soup of the day which was a tasty cup of black bean soup. The Office was playing on TV with subcaptions and volume off with decent music, non-blaring, in the background. With the chatter of a full Tavern, the noise level was loud yet acceptable and not obnoxious. The food was tasty, the service by Lee Ellen great, and I shall certainly return at a future visit!

On June 15, 2026, I had dinner at the red fox tavern while staying at the natural bridge hotel and…read morethe food was not good at all. The website claims to have hand-cut steaks. I ordered the ribeye with chef's potato and chef's vegetable. The steak was clearly a frozen steak, and even worse, the chef's potato was instant mashed potatoes. The vegetable was canned green beans covered in minced jarred garlic. My mom ordered chicken tacos and Mac & cheese. The Mac & cheese was hard noodles with dried out cheese. Chicken tacos were chicken in a tortilla with a pre-made coleslaw on top, none of the topping described on the menu. We wanted to say something to the server, but there was only one person working the bar, the dining room, the tavern, and outside. The server was doing her best. Last but not least, gnats were flying everywhere. We felt taken advantage of because we were traveling and relied on the food in the hotel for our meal.

We did a pickup order the day after Christmas when not much else was open nearby. The food was ready quickly and was all correct. We ordered a large specialty pizza, 14 bone-in wings, garlic knots, cheesecake and a chicken sub. A lot of food for about $50. The chicken sub was very good and huge for the like $7 or so. The pizza was kinda floppy but loaded with toppings and tasted fresh and good. The wings were crispy and good. The garlic knots were good but came with only one small thing of marinara that wasn't even close to being enough for all of them. Overall - a great three-star experience for take out.

We were immediately greeted and seated, promptly met our server and our order was taken when our drinks were served. I can't deny that I think it's pricey, but these days everything is pricey. I had the Brown Eyed Girl sandwich, essentially a French dip with onion straws. My friend had the Up in Smoke burger. Everything came out hot and cooked perfectly. It was a bit of a wait but the place was packed - I would advise not going after church gets out on Sunday. I have to say, there was a billing problem - that I caused. The owner himself fixed it for me and refunded the error amount the next day.

We both also wantee the pasta dishes but kept with the salads! While we waited, we had lovely boule of bread and butter. Service was fabulous and tables are fancy with tablecloths and fresh flowers - so you can dress up or down! Its very quaint inside and has neat little defined seating areas.
