- Hemlock Inn’s famous apple and pumpkin chips, homemade each fall and served nightly as a sweet preservative for our dinner rolls.
Large, home-cooked breakfasts and dinners are served family style each day around large, hand-made, lazy-susan tables. Neighbors supply us with fresh vegetables and fruits in season (in the summer for instance, you may be treated to ears of corn picked just a few minutes before). Foods native to the area are featured (e.g. country ham, fried chicken, homemade biscuits with mountain honey or our own homemade apple or pumpkin chips). Dinner rolls and desserts are all made from scratch, and all meals are prepared fresh that day by our local cooks.
Family Style Dining
Meals at Hemlock Inn are served “family style” around large lazy-susan tables. Each table seats 10-12 guests, which provides opportunities for guests to get to know each other as they dine together. Private seating for couples or families is not available. It is our belief that meals are meant to be shared together and that this is a key component to the Hemlock Inn experience.
Breakfast and Dinner Schedule
Dinner is served promptly at 6:30 pm daily Monday through Saturday (we do not serve an evening meal on Sunday) and breakfast is served at 8:30 am daily.
Meal Time Traditions

A dinner bell will be rung at 8:30am and 6:30pm promptly each day to alert guests that the meal is ready and to invite them to enter the dining room. Each guest will be told in advance which table they are assigned to. Upon entry into the dining room, it is our tradition to stand behind our chairs at the dining table until any announcements have been made and a short blessing has been said. Then we all sit together and enjoy the meal before us!
