Mike Travis’ Mountain Shadows Diner

Just seems like it is getting wrost. Prices keep going up and portions keep going down. Waitress are all nice and take pretty good care of you. Soon as the owner come in he goes straight for the cash in the drawer and empty it witch I find amusing. I think the owner is the problem. Get I order of fires and it is the smallest order I ever seen. My table was sticky today and my pancakes were cold and I mean like out of the fridge cold except for one ¼ that was hot. Nuked pancakes maybe?. Jelly for your toast must be loke gold cuz they bring you 2 packs and that’s it. I heard them making fun of someone for asking for more so I did not. 11 bucks for coffee 2small pancakes 3 eggs sausage and a half order of potatoes. Bout done comming here.

Good food at a good price. Was out with a buddy of mine for a motorcycle ride to High Rock. Saw this place and decided to stop in. I got one of the specials for the day, roast beef with 2 sides (fries and macaroni salad). Food was good and tasted like diner food. Nothing to special here just reasonably price food that was worth what I paid.

Great place to stop in and get the real traditional diner experience. Family operated since 1981. Frequented by the locals of Blue Ridge Summit and surrounding. Very friendly and they love visitors. They can answer or point you in the right direction to what the area has to offer for wandering traveler. Not to mention the breakfast is filling and you won’t go hungry.

Walked in, saw no sign about seating yourself or please wait to be seated. Stood there for a couple minutes, sat down for 10 minutes, was stared at by waitresses… felt unwanted… walked out. Don’t need that kind of attitude from a total stranger!!!

Excellent Breakfast… best in the area! never disappoints

Although I have been to this diner at least a half dozen times, it’s mediocre at its best. There’s not much to eat in Blue Ridge Summit. In fact, it is one of only three eating establishments, the others being a diner (better than this one!) and a pizzeria, so it gets business based on lack of competition.
Everything here is cheap. That’s great. Wait — no it’s not. I would prefer to pay a bit more and get better quality. For example, the salad here consists of the lettuce, tomatoes and onions that go on a burger — seriously. It’s shredded iceberg lettuce, super thin tomatoes and super thin onions that all taste lukewarm — bleck!
The vegetable soup has frozen vegetables and tastes like it’s out of a can. The chili is good. The subs are okay — bread is lousy. Desserts are decent. They are made by someone who doesn’t work there.
The entrees are all simple and taste either pre-​frozen, pre-​canned or downright unmemorable for some other reason. One entrée they make pretty well is their fried oysters — -five or six good sized oysters with two sides.
Thsi restaurant could really improve by making its own soups, serving better salads and options with more emphasis on fresh – even if it means raising the prices. I’d go there regularly if I could be assured of a real meal.

When it comes to diners I think this is about as good as it gets. Two years in the area and two visits and I am a fan! My son goes to camp nearby and it has become our tradition to go to breakfast before I drop him off. Walking in I definitely feel like an outsider walking into someone’s kitchen. They are friends but it is very evident that it is a local place. The service has been very attentive both times and friendly. The accommodated my son in making a burger for breakfast — and served it with a smile. The food is authentic diner style. If you want real diner food with all the ambiance that goes with it — check it out!

No surprises!
Good diner food and great service!
Been eating here since I was a kid, come back every time we visit the area. A lot of local flair. Plus, they take great care of grandma whenever she comes around.
