Natural Bridge General Store & Natty B Cafe

We were out adventuring and came across Natty B for lunch. What a great find! The customer service made you feel at home. We were recommend the chicken salad sandwich and it was delicious! Soft white bread toasted only on the inside with a generous helping of delicious chicken salad, chips and crisp pickle! We talked about the sandwich while we hiked the Nature Bridge! Everything was fresh and delicious. Nice clean shop with lots of fun things to look at. We enjoyed a bottle of their birch beer which was kind of like a cream soda root beer mix, very delicious. For dessert we had the apples cheese cake that kind of tasted like a caramel apple?!?! Great delicious surprise! Highly recommend you stop in! We would definitely go back!

Highly recommend making this a stop, if I was a local I would definitely be a regular! Customer service that makes you feel at home, fresh and delicious food, cute and clean shop with lots of fun things to choose from. The owners mother recommend the chicken salad sandwich and it was delicious! Soft white bread toasted only on the inside with a generous helping of delicious chicken salad, chips and crisp pickle! My husband tried the Ruben sandwich and was very happy, in fact he said it was the "best Ruben he's had in a LONG time!" We also bought a 1lb bag of dark chocolate covered cranberries for the road, I should have bought 2! Natty B's is where it's at!! ♥🐝🥪

I’m not even going to exaggerate, my boyfriend and I went up to the natural bridge area to have our anniversary and we went to a 5 star restaurant to celebrate. And it was disappointing to say the least in the morning we just needed food in our bellies and stopped here. Wow. He got the tuna sandwich and I got the grilled cheese…. Amazing! All we did was eat in basically silence with the occasional “mmms” and “oh wows”. Top notch. I also made myself a peppermint coffee and that was also so good. The staff/owner on duty were so so lovely. And the price was unbeatable for how darn good and filling it was. Definitely recommend. Amazing place yall.

We actually had a great experience. The food was awesome and fresh. We ordered tuna salad sandwich, grilled cheese, and salad. Besides the food, they have several different items to choose from, from candy to crafts. A fun place to visit, recommend!

NattyBCafe & General Store was a welcome stop on our July back-roads trip through Virginia. We ate chicken salads that were quite fresh and tasty, and the general store had everything local art to camping supplies. Warm and welcoming service as well.

Low key place for lunch. They also had some crafts for sale, beer & wine, odds and ends, candy, etc. it was about $50 for the four of us with drinks. The food came out fast and the service was good.

The man handling the counter felt bad about the wait and gave us free cookies! And the salad was delicious. Lots of nice food and people.

Absolutely delicious!! We rode our bicycles from Lexington just to get breakfast. Had the bacon/ egg/ biscuit sandwiches and coffee. Bought a jar of bacon jam too! Best 32 mile round trip. Will be back for lunch a some of their amazing cakes.

VERY good food here. Pricey for the area, and it took a little while to come out, but insofar as quality and taste - amazing. They definitely don’t skimp on portions, either. Dad got the Reuben, I got the Portobella. Only complaint is the texture of the coleslaw, which we got as sides - it tasted good, but it was so finely shredded it had almost a grainy texture. If you are staying at the Historic Natural Bridge Hotel, come here for breakfast!

First time at Natty B’s and definitely not the last!! What an experience! The new administration ran by Nate Goad has been doing an incredible job at the general store/ café. You can tell he truly cares about his customers. I felt welcomed the minute I walked through the doors. I had the best sandwich I’ve had in a long time. If you are ever in the area, you have to try the Pastrami Reuben and the bacon jam burger!! The customer service, food quality + quantity, the overall ambiance, and variety of food and drinks at the store was incredible. Me and my family had been driving for 5+ hours and were so glad we found this hidden Southern gem after being on the road for quite some time.

Again, congratulations to the new administration (Nate, Teressa, and Ellee) you guys are doing a fantastic job!! Me and my family will definitely be back again🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

We've been traveling the Parkway for a couple of days and we're staying in Natural Bridge. Decided to check out this place late the afternoon of 10/21 to see what they had to offer for food items to put into a cooler. They made us the most perfectly deconstructed turkey sandwich to take with us. We needed to hold it for the next day's travel. They took the extra time to wrap each and every ingredient, including a separate container for guac, so that the sandwich would not be soggy. Well, we assembled it this afternoon, 10/22. It was perfect, like it was freshly made. To the folks at Natty B, thank you. You're the greatest!

If you’re in the Natural Bridge or Zoo/Dinosaur Kingdom II area you MUST get lunch here. The sandwiches were huge and on point. We also got a slice of the best berry pie I’ve ever had in my life. We sat on the porch and ate our lunch on a beautiful day and it was perfect.

My daughter and I had been wanting to stop by for awhile and finally did yesterday before taking her to work, we ordered two Arcadia subs with cooked apples for her and cole slaw for me…. Hands down the best sub I’ve had in this county! So much so that I’m sitting outside the store about to get another one today to take home for lunch! The ladies are also very helpful and kind. Lots of homemade goodies as well and some amazing smelling candles and other little odds and ends. Highly recommend stopping by! We experienced zero racism (not all of us are white), our cheese was very melted on the grilled cheese…. Staff was VERY nice from beginning to end with zero issues… I am sad others seem to feel differently…

The Natural Bridge General store is a charming little shop just one minute away from the Natural Bridge Hotel and Conference Center. Serving a full breakfast made to order, or offering fresh season specific vegetables, the General store is lovely inside and out. It has a look and feeling of an old-time store. You can get beer, pre-packaged foods, candy bars, cigaretts, and pretty much anything else you would need for a short stay exploring caverns or the other local attractions. If you stop by, make sure to say hi to Carleen. She owns the place. She's friendly, very knowledgeable about local attractions and happy to have a chat with new friends.

So kind and friendly in there! Food was so good as well! Would definitely stop back again traveling through!

We made an unplanned stop here a few miles off of I-81. The food was tasty, the staff were friendly & it was comfortable for the whole family.

Great little diner! Very friendly staff and the food was amazing! Had a sharing sandwhich option that was great for my mom and I plus some locally made goodies to buy.

Unbelievably great food and friendly service. Beautiful setting on the creek with outdoor seating for 🐕 Can't wait to go back!

Oh my yummy yummy yummy ! I couldn’t make this sandwich any better! Portobello sandwich on toasted homemade sourdough ! Oh my! Ron had the tuna melt and felt the same way. Cute spot - my “gotta go to a quaint our of the way foodie spot” radar was definitely working ! Cute spot! Great gift store and amazing home made menu items! Don’t miss this on your way through!

Came in for lunch today and got the homemade tuna fish sandwich. I am coming back for the Hazelnut bar and also the pumpkin ice cream later in week!
