Thank you for a great season!

​​​​

We want to thank you for dining with us at The Bluffs in 2024. We loved hearing your stories about this beloved spot and meeting so many great people from near and far.

​

Last year, The Bluffs was operated by the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation for the first time. The nonprofit is currently raising funds to assist with the recovery needed after Hurricane Helene.

A Rich History

The coffee shop at Doughton Park on the Blue Ridge Parkway welcomed generations of locals and travelers during its original 61 years of operation. Thanks to the support of those devoted patrons and many others, The Bluffs has reopened to welcome diners once again for great home-style cooking.
