In the Greenbrier Valley, every good love story is accompanied by delicious food. Bon Appétit!
The most cherished evening is paired with a dining experience that’s every bit as memorable, and at Stardust Café, it’s their specialty. The restaurant is small and intimate, with an air of bustling activity. Mixed-and-matched, glass-top tables are set with fresh flowers, cloth napkins and a carafe of spring water to create a welcome backdrop for each course.
The focus—high-quality, fresh ingredients, often sourced locally. Flavors, textures and aromas that appeal to every sense. And food that’s presented with artful attention and care. Try starting with the fresh Maine lobster blended with creamy artichokes and served with buttered sesame Filone bread. That’s just the beginning.

Old Red Mill Taphouse Grille
Steaks, seafood and pasta take center stage at Food & Friends, one of Lewisburg's most enduring restaurants.
Sweets are the happiest of treats to share with another. What other fare encourages playful spoon duels for a ribbon of buttery caramel or smooth dark chocolate?
In the Greenbrier Valley, these delights are a bit of an art form, with one bakery taking the cake. Aptly named The Cake Box, its proprietors affectionately refer to it as a “sweet celebration shop” filled with sugar and sparkles. Front and center, a spinning carousel of giant cupcakes, crowned with swirls of frosting. Sweet dogs, plates of cookies and gourmet cotton candy. Order up two straws to share a classic strawberry milkshake, or on cooler days, the hot chocolate—a luscious concoction of cocoa, ground chocolate and cream.

The Humble Tomato’s patio garden transforms each spring into a storybook setting. The restaurant’s eighteenth-century “home” stands tall against mature hemlocks, hydrangeas and hostas around the adjacent lawn. A winding path, seasonal flower beds and herb gardens—used as tinctures in house cocktails—add to the inviting ambiance of this downtown oasis. As afternoon turns to evening, twinkling café lights cast a warm glow over the diners. And the Adirondack chairs—paired in twos on the lawn—set the stage for laid-back connection over drinks and quiet conversation.
