Nestled in the heart of Wilderness village on The Square, The Girls on the Square has become a local institution for wholesome, unpretentious meals throughout the day.

The menu spans hearty cooked breakfasts, generous sandwiches, fresh salads, and satisfying mains that lean toward home-style comfort food. Regulars rave about the consistency and portion sizes, while the coffee keeps locals coming back morning after morning. The outdoor seating lets you soak up the village atmosphere, especially pleasant during Wilderness's temperate days.
