She arrived with years of restaurant management experience , great recipes, love of the business and her cherished Tuggle's Gap Restaurant - Floyd County, Virginia: Owners Rotweiller,
Captain Midnight.

In true pioneering spirit, Neil risked her life savings and comfortable life in New Mexico to realize her lifelong dream of owning her own restaurant. After several months, she recruited help from her daughter, Cheri Baker, who’d been working in the restaurant business in Washington State for many years.

Neil retired in the fall of 2003 and with her guidance and support, daughter Cheri has continued to manage Tuggles Gap using Neil’s recipes and credo, “We love to serve you."

Tuggles Gap has been serving
customers on the Blue Ridge Parkway,
Floyd and the surrounding area for more
than 60 years.
