Lunch at Skyland - Shenandoah, VA

A few friends and I took a day trip to Shenandoah last week to visit the fall leaves. We left DC around 8:30 a.m. and it took us about 2 - 3 hours (driving) to arrive at our destination. We went for a quick morning hike, so of course by the time it was lunch, we were all starving. I really wanted to sit at the Pollock Dining Room, since you get a gorgeous view, but because there we were a big group and the place was crowded with other people, we resorted to the Mountain Taproom.

Also, if we waited for the Pollock Dining Room area, we would've had to wait 2 hours just to get a table. Sigh, but okay, let's eat! 

Time for Lunch!

Are you ready? I'm ready. Let's start. 

Hot Chocolate

The perfect drink for a cold and windy day to warm-up our body! 

Sweet Potato Poutine

I love sweet potato anything - especially fries - so these were great. I loved how they topped it off with pulled pork too. 

Loaded French Fries

Cheese and warm fries are always a great combination -- you can't really go wrong with them, so no complaints here. 

Crab Dip

These were a bit salty for me, as most dips are, but they were still pretty good. The chips were slightly stale, which was kind of disappointing. 

Winner?

I say the sweet potato fries or the loaded french fries! But then again, you really can't go wrong with these dishes.  

Burger, Burger, Burgers!

I actually ordered the Portabella Sandwich (not pictured) which was great but majority of my friends ordered the gourmet burger. The serving size of the burger is a lot bigger than it appears, which is great because it'll keep you full! 

Once we were done with lunch, we headed back out to the trails to get one last hike before we headed home. Don't forget to check  out my other posts for photos from our hike!
