    Cast Iron Cornbread
    Brian S.

    What a difference a year makes. We have been dining at General Ledger consistently for the past year and have noticed month over month our experience declining. Our recent visit was an all time low. The service was not just bad but unacceptable. The non caring attitude from our waiter was disappointing and after bringing it to the managers attention she just dismissed it. We ordered drinks to start that we had to inquire about after finishing our apps as no drink had arrived after 20 min. As far as the food the Salmon we ordered as rare as possible was grossly overcooked. The pork was then undercooked from our order and had a weird taste the we barely touched it. The easiest of the order the burger only issue the burger came to the table with no burger and a tomato. That's right we ordered a burger no tomato and they brought the plate out with a Bun, Tomato lettuce, onion but NO burger. When we finished the entree (which were hardly touched) we asked for the warm Chocolate chip cookie, the waiter told us it takes 20 minutes. How about letting customers know when you go over the menu that certain desserts take 20 minutes. Bottom line the attitude of the waiter the lack of action from the manager and 3 of our 4 entrees being less than satisfactory it is time for us to take a permanent break from General Ledger, especially with so many good options downtown. If I was to rate this it was a zero star visit

    We are from out of town and wanted to try this place out. Our service was great. She was so sweet and the food was really good. The cornbread was different, but was still good. It was loud when we were there because on Sundays they have a duo singing but we got used to it. They were good, i just wish it would've been a little quieter but the crowd really liked them so that was nice to see.

    Such interesting atmosphere at this restaurant which at one time was a bank. Friendly service, extensive menu. I ordered the special, a 10 oz prime rib and my dining mate ordered the pecan crusted trout. Both dinners delicious. My prime rib cooked to order. Portion sizes all good, food plated nicely. Sides also good. I had peanut Asian style coleslaw and green beans, my dining mate had mashed potatoes and a kale salad. Pricey menu but delicious food. A memorable meal

    Came with the family as we were in the area visiting and once again you trustee YELPERS guided us, right! We did a call ahead so we were seated immediately on arrival. This is a very quaint little restaurant built in an old banking site. The ambience is very interesting. There was live music throughout our lunch, which made it even more interesting because we are a musical family! Our server was very friendly and took our order almost immediately. The wifey ordered the Reuben Sandwich and she loved it. I was in the mood for a good old American cheeseburger, and I was not disappointed at all.. Dust went with the chicken salad and by the looks of it, he demolished it! Elle had the chicken with the pasta and she enjoyed it too! Sam had the Kiddy's Chicken Finger meal. I don't know. We had a really good afternoon and yes, we will definitely be back when in the area. FELLOW YELPERS I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE SO DO GIVE IT A TRY!

    This is a great restaurant. It's an old bank that still has the vault inside. If you are lucky maybe you could eat inside it. Very nice bar with casual upscale feel. Reservations are recommended. Service was excellent. You must start with the homemade cornbread. It is delicious. My wife ordered the fresh trout over mashed potatoes. Trout was very good. Potatoes were creamy and hot. I started with a salad that was very good. My meal was the delicious bone in pork chop . It was covered with an apple chutney. Green beans were freshly cooked perfectly. This is our favorite restaurant in blue ridge.

    General ledger is amazing from service to food to drinks, it's just amazing. The blackened pork chop was perfect and the bread pudding for dessert, the old fashioned was right on the mark. We almost went here twice on our trip.

    Cozy local spot in Downtown Blue Ridge - previously converted bank turned restaurant, you can even dine in the "bank safe" area/room. Food was delicious and fresh, inviting ambiance and friendly staff.

    Chicken Cordon Bleu Sandwhich

    My party and I attended the General Ledger for some dinner reservations last Saturday night. It was very busy but they were able to accommodate us about 10 minutes early and give us a relatively private area for a large group. The service was very kind and attentive and our waitress was able to effectively and efficiently serve our table with a bright smile! The food itself was great! The cordon blue sandwich had so much flavor. I loved the addition of the red peppers as it really took it over the top. The white cheddar croquettes that I got as the side were tasty but needed a little salt. I tried my sister's burger and the patty was HUGE. You definitely get your moneys worth with any of these sandwiches. Overall, worth a visit if you're in the blue ridge area and looking for your next dinner stop.

    We were in town for a bachelorette weekend (total of 8 ladies) and was spending Friday night in town so we came here for dinner. I called about 2 weeks before and made a reservation for us. We had seen online that there was a vault that you could sit in (this restaurant used to be an old bank) so I did try to request it but it wasn't guaranteed. When we arrived, we were not seated in the vault (which was fine). Our server greeted us right away and got our drink orders in, etc. We ordered some apps - pork belly, cornbread, fried green tomatoes and salmon dip. The salmon dip was SOOOO good, that was my favorite for sure. The fried green tomatoes and cornbread were also good. I did not try the pork belly, but heard from the other girls that they enjoyed it. For entrees, a lot of the ladies ordered one of the specials, which was a fish dish with gnocchi. Unfortunately, the gnocchi was not cooked correctly and nobody liked that part of their dish. The rest of it was good they said, it had great flavor. I ordered the pescatore pasta and I really enjoyed that - good flavor, good amount of lobster, calamari and shrimp! They ordered the peach cobbler as well and said it was pretty good. Overall, we had a nice time and everyone enjoyed their food for the most part.
