The historic Pine Tavern was started in 1927, with old state Route 221 running behind the restaurant. Originally, the Pine Lodge served meals in their lobby. The fare was similar to what you can find in today's Pine Tavern. Most of our recipes are from Mama Nell, my grandmother. These recipes were tested by me every Sunday for over 25 years in a small town, much like Floyd, in the shadow of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. We hope that the same feeling of family, hospitality, history, and heritage is imparted to our guests.   --Reed Embrey
