We went out of our way from 81 south to go to Gertie’s cause of the reviews and pictures and boy did It DELIVER.

Whether you’re just having a sweet tea and a turkey club sandwich, or a hearty thick bologna, and Swiss cheese sandwich with a cold beer, Gerties has got you covered. This is a great place to go to hang out with friends and family on the weekend with a good old fashion country setting. The service was outstanding and the food was excellent. Definitely recommend the cheese steak sub and onion rings.

Awesome food. Burger and fries for me. Cood just right, thick and full of flavor.

Gertie’s was an unexpected treat hidden near Crabtree Falls. The writing and sculptures made of old tools on the wall set a fun, casual ambiance. Although small, Gertie’s offers a range of menu items at a reasonable price. If you go there when they’re having the brisket sandwich, be sure to get it and try the sweet potato fries, too!

Stopped it during a motorcycle ride. Very good place for lunch. Not many staff so you have to have some patience.

Exactly the kind of place you hope to run across on a back country road: great service, great food. Firecracker Burger + onion rings.

The food and service were good, but it did take a long time to get our food. We were there longer than we expected to be.

My family and I were driving down the blue ridge parkway, and I was given the responsibility of finding something to eat. I chose Gertie’s because it had 5 stars and was close. What a great stroke of luck. The establishment had an extremely homey feel, we were immediately accommodated and showed to the outdoor seating under the awning in the back . The food was absolutely delicious! I had the Italian Sub with French fries and onion rings, all perfect. Probably the best Italian sub I’ve ever had. Over the course of our 10 day trip, I would say this was the best food I had. As an added bonus, they also sold locally sourced foods, wines, etc! Amazing location, I will be back! ( eventually)

A small quant burger place run by a friendly couple that cook and serve. The dining area is small. We had breakfast and in all fairness the burgers and fries others ate looked very good. A visit to this restaurant should be on your agenda if you are staying in area.
