You may have noticed that the Copper Kettle is closed on Monday & Tuesday and opens at 4pm on Wednesday-Friday. This leaves many visitors wondering “where do I eat at Bryce”? As Basye is a small town with only a few immediate options, we want to make sure that our guests are not surprised! Since all our units have full kitchens, one option is to plan ahead and bring supplies for your meals. But if that’s not your style, keep reading!
- The Shenandoah Center also offers many breakfast and lunch options. We recommend the breakfast burritos! It is typically open when the lift is turning during ski & mountain bike seasons.
- The Community Store offers coffee, bagels, pizza, made to order deli sandwiches and subs and more. Located just outside the Bryce Resort at 1502 Orkney Grade, its new owner, Harvey, has done a great job renovating to meet the needs of visitors to the resort and locals alike.
- The Burn Barrel (https://www.basyeburnbarrel.com/ ) tavern is in Basye, across from the Resort’s main entrance. It’s open for breakfast, lunch & dinner most days (please check website) and is closed on Wednesdays. The Burn Barrel is a traditional diner, bar & grill with good food, including burgers, tacos, sandwiches, dinner specials, and a well-stocked bar.
- Pale Fire Brewing (https://www.palefirebrewing.com/basye/) shares the same parking lot with the Burn Barrel, located in Basye at the Resort’s main entrance. Pale Fire Basye is a satellite tap room of the main brewery in Harrisonburg, with eight locally made beers on tap, many more beer options in four-packs to-go, a full liquor bar, and a full menu focused on Detroit-style pizzas, flatbread pizzas, hot sandwiches, salads, and a variety of other tasty bar food treats.
