This was our first visit to Greenbriar after receiving many recommendations from others. The service was excellent and personal. The dishes were of exceptional quality and taste. We really appreciated that most of their ingredients are locally sourced, organic and regeneratively raised/produced. We will be certainly be returning again in the near future. I especially appreciated our waitress, Valerie. She was knowledgeable, fun and professional. The staff also treated my wife to a delicious, complementary cheesecake for her birthday celebration. I highly recommend The Greenbriar Inn for dinner and look forward to visiting again soon.

Dinner buffet was good except the dressing was dry and had fruit in it. The pumpkin pie was very good. The waitstaff was really on top of it - refilling water, etc. Took some time to get my cocktail tho. Was not worth the $80 per plate.

We had an unexpected add on a week before and the owner worked very hard to find a seating time that would accommodate all of us. Our waiter Don was fantastic, he did a great job and kudos to him for working from morning to night! We all appreciate the entire staff for hosting us on a holiday and sacrificing their family time!

Tough “prime” rib, weird stuffing for the turkey eaters : it was loose crumbs, not cohesive stuffing you’d expect. Many hot items were simply cold, the pies seemed like they came from Village Inn. The Cesar salad was good. And the service was excellent. Of course the dining room was beautiful, as always, and the owners accommodated our request to be on the ground floor because a member of our party has trouble with stairs. (No elevator.) We had a very nice evening with our family but were disappointed that the food was sub-par and we paid a high price for it. Will not return for a buffet style meal ever again.

Ended up leaving and ordering Chinese food. Terrible dry cornbread stuffing with dried fruit. Buffet was picked over and the offerings were not impressive for the price. We will not return to the Greenbriar
