Enjoy Mountain Views And Burgers At Foot Of The Mountain Cafe

Few things pair as well as delicious food and incredible views. You can look forward to both when you stop by a hidden gem of a restaurant known as Foot of the Mountain Cafe. Tucked away in Buchanan, this family-run eatery promises quality (and affordable!) local fare, gorgeous mountain scenery, and the hospitality you could only find here in Virginia.
