A fine-dining dish on a hillside. The free-spirited atmosphere and the smell of wood-burning fires are nostalgic. The food is excellent, but you’ll have to wait a bit because it’s made over a wood fire. You can also enjoy wine and beer from the brewing shop located next door. It’s a great place to bring your kids or dog. Both ordering and pickup are self-service. (In the hot summer, the sun is little bit intense)

Well worth the wait! This spot was recommended to us as some of the best food we’ll ever be served on paper plates, and that statement definitely held true. The location itself is beautiful, tucked away amongst the foothills. We got there a little after it opened, so we could grab lunch. We decided to grab a beer next door first, then hop in line to place our order at Sumac. The wait ended up being about 45 minutes because so many people had ordered ahead of us. Many opted for the tasting menu option, but we just picked three dishes that sounded appealing (including one of the daily specials). At some point, they did stop taking orders because the wait was already so long. My advice is to get there on the early side and put your order in to reduce the amount of time you have to wait.

We were so excited after reading the reviews, and thought we had a pretty good idea of what to expect – small plates with really thoughtfully chosen ingredients. Everything was plated beautifully, and I appreciate the creativity, but unfortunately the flavor just wasn’t where I had hoped it would be for a $170 (with gratuity) tasting menu for two. There were a few enjoyable bites, but overall I felt pretty disappointed after the hype. Their menu changes pretty frequently, so it’s possible we just got an overwhelming week – but tread with caution, if an expensive food gamble isn’t for you.

Can’t say enough about the creativity, plating and most important flavor of the dishes I enjoyed here. This is not an ordinary food truck at a brewery, this is fine cooking at a brewery.

I have been known to lick a paper plate clean but if that’s not normal for you don’t be surprised when you’re overcome with the urge for one last bite from Sumac. Incredible food in a very approachable setting. If you’re driving in look for Pen Druid brewing and come around the building to the back to see Sumac’s stand nestled along the tree line. The food, the views, and the beer next door were all wonderful. Hope to be back in town to enjoy again.

Fine dining in an almost food truck format! Very unique dishes, though you should expect small plates. This is not a place where you will feel full after hiking all day in the Shenandoah’s if you spend $10. If you want a nice dinner with a fantastic beer with stunning scenery and are okay with spending $60-100 for two people, you won’t be disappointed here.

Delicious! We got lucky and stopped by Pen Druid Brewery on Sumac’s first day open and have since returned many times to try new menu items. They vary offerings weekly and source nearly all ingredients locally. If you’re out in Shenandoah for a hike, and want creative food and beautiful views look no further. Nice folks to boot!

Michelin star on a paper plate. Genuinely blown away by everything we had, sad they were running out of stuff to try more. Price and portion size matches the michelin quality. Just wish it wasn’t paired at the back of penn druid brewery, which while scenic is really only OK. Would have loved to have paired the bison steak with a nice red. Pana cotta with octopus and grilled cabage were also to die for. The combination of flavors and presentation really is a cut above.

Incredible local & organic new american food that rivals michelin star spots that are twice the cost.

Sumac’s offerings are unexpected, far from the standard brewery fare. These artfully composed dishes highlighting stunning local ingredients are well worth the visit.
