In 1946, the Hillsville Diner opened its doors to residents and visitors in southern Virginia. Today, this landmark is now the oldest continuously-run streetcar diner in Virginia. When you visit, you’ll feel as though you’ve stepped back in time in the best way. From the retro decor to the classic and affordable menu, few things have changed about Hillsville in the past 74 years. Here’s more on what you can look forward to when you visit this timeless restaurant in Caroll County, Virginia.
Tucked away in the Blue Ridge Highlands awaits a classic Virginia dining experience: the Hillsville Diner. Established in 1946, this streetcar diner is truly one-of-a-kind.
Before moving to Virginia in the 40s, the diner had originally opened up in Mt. Airy, North Carolina, where allegedly Andy Griffith was a frequent visitor.
Opening at 4:45 a.m. on weekdays, the Hillsville Diner has become quite a staple in the Hillsville Historic District for its breakfast and lunch offerings.
These biscuits are perhaps the most popular order on the menu. Whether you enjoy them with gravy or on their own, you'll love the fluffy cooked-to-perfection texture.
And what would a classic diner experience be without mouthwatering pie and bottomless coffee?
