A restaurant inside a house? Yes! We are located inside a charming old house that was built in 1904. We have kept everything original to the house as much as possible, which means our space is very unique and smaller than most restaurants you’ve probably been to – our kitchen is smaller than most residential kitchens! With such limited space, we run things a bit differently to be sure that you have a great time here! We are counter-service with waitstaff, so you order and pay at the counter BEFORE finding a table where we will serve you! Having everyone order and pay first means that our limited number of tables are not held up waiting for orders to be taken or checks to be brought out, so even if we are very busy, there WILL be a table available by the time you have ordered. Operating this way, it is very rare that we should ever have to wait for a table to open. For this reason we ask that you please do not reserve tables while the rest of your party is in line.
The Manor House Estate was the elegant home of J. Luther Snyder, the most famous of Chetola’s owners. Snyder purchased Chetola Estate in 1926. Also known as “the Coca Cola King of the Carolinas,” Snyder’s wife held frequent celebrations and parties that were the talk of Blowing Rock in the 1930s and 1940s.
On July 28, 2012, Chetola officially opened Timberlake’s Restaurant in the historical building, with a menu inspired by world-renowned North Carolina artist and designer Bob Timberlake’s culinary favorites. The restaurant features three dining rooms, an intimate wine room and waterfront dining on the Patio. The charming and warmly outfitted Headwaters Pub is just inside Timberlake’s main entrance.
Bob Timberlake, who is known for creating things of exceptional artistry and imagination, used his deeply rooted love of food as the impetus behind the distinctive menu. From savory shrimp and salads of mountain-grown spinach, to pan-seared duck and roasted Carolina quail, each dish will be one worth savoring. Mouth-watering Angus bistro filets, seafood, poultry, vegetarian options and housemade desserts will also tempt palates of all tastes.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served daily, year-round in Timberlake’s Restaurant. In addition, you will find outstanding buffets on Mother’s Day, Easter Sunday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and during special events such as Symphony by the Lake.

We think the world is a better place with wings, a burger cooked to the right temperature, and a sandwich with house-made “anything they can think of” in it. Yes, the salads are good too. But it’s all about the rejuvenation of creativity and the soothing comfort that food provides when it’s made with the best intentions.
It was 2010, and the bar where I worked in Black Mountain was closing. The hardest part about it was not that I was losing a job; it was that I was losing my community gathering spot. My belief is that, above all else, community is what gives humans a sense of belonging and well-being, which leads to a solid sense of self. Community is what makes us whole. An important concept in urban design is what is known as the “Third Place.” Healthy communities are composed of First, Second, and Third Places. The First Place is your home — where you lay your head at night. The Second Place is your workplace — where you do the things you do. And the Third Place is where you form connections with others — where you can express your dreams, your thoughts, and your ideas with like-minded people. It is an anchoring spot for the community. For communities to be strong and healthy, the Third Place is vital.
Third Places are where people go because they know they will feel a sense of connection. In 2010, I was losing my Third Place. And I said to myself, “Well, if my community is losing a gathering place, I’m going to bring it back.” The Black Mountain Ale House opened on Feb 4, 2011. It was a bar built around community.
That community remains at the forefront. We have continued to grow around it, literally and figuratively, bringing in a larger kitchen and introducing a stronger variety of food offerings. Now renamed Black Mountain Kitchen + Ale House, we are a restaurant and bar — built around community.
The key ingredient to the menu is the table; not necessarily what’s on the plate. That’s why “kitchen” is such a fundamental word. The kitchen is the place that produces food to feed the body and delight the senses. The company is the reason for the kitchen in the first place.
Our guiding philosophy remains the same as it was back in February 2011: to provide a sense of community and belonging to every person who walks through the door. Some of the most meaningful life experiences happen in a conversation over a pint of beer or around a table breaking bread with others. Whether you’re having a beer with a friend or celebrating a special experience, or you’re here by yourself just to sit at the bar and be part of a community, we want you to feel like you’ve found your Third Place.

Snug, charming spot featuring sandwiches & salads, along with pies & frozen prepared entrees to go. Whether a gourmet lunch, a delectable sweet treat, or custom catering, Eat Crow is your one stop shop for good food in the High Country.
The Pedalin’ Pig opened its Banner Elk location in 2014 bringing fresh gourmet flair to some smoky down south favorites. With an entrepreneur at the heart of the business, owner Ethan Anderson set his sights to the smokehouse on Highway 105 last spring. The concept was simple-combine gourmet ingredients with a splash of High Country style. The unique dining area is fit to sit 185 of your closest family, friends and sightseers. We offer cozy inside seating or enjoy the color of the season on our patio —and don’t worry, our parking lot has room for the party.

Well Known Venue (Nick’s) Becomes Highlander’s
highlander noun
Definition of highlander: an inhabitant of a highland.
For over three decades this establishment at the cross roads of state routes 105 & 184 has welcomed locals, visitors, newcomers, and students alike…and all have been made to feel at home. Through over 120 passing seasons this gathering place has become as integral to the landscape as Grandfather Mountain itself.
We are proud to present a modern re-imaging of this “High Country” tradition: “Highlander’s Grill & Tavern!” Whether you hail from the coast, the mountains, the north, the south, the east or the west, no matter who you are or where you are from…. When You Are Here You Are A Highlander!
Let’s just say, we saw this all-day breakfast thing years ago. We get that sometimes you want a burger or salad to start your day, an omelet for lunch, or brunch any day of the week. Here, you can have it all, whenever you want it. (Well, at least until we close.)
We also believe food should be both decadent and nutritious, uncompromisingly fresh, and served to order quickly with service that’s as satisfying as the menu. Sure, it’s a tall order, but it’s made us one of the fastest growing restaurants around.
Casual counter-serve chain for build-your-own sandwiches & salads, with health-conscious options. Subway at the Food Lion Shopping Center.
Amazing food! Best smoked turkey and chicken I’ve had in a long time! Pork is great too. You Definitely won’t be disappointed eating here. Great service as well. I highly recommend this place
A place to drink, dance, and eat, Guinguettes were a popular social gathering spot in 19th and 20th century Parisian suburbs.
We aim to continue this tradition here in Black Mountain, serving a unique combination of authentic French and Latin cuisine in a warm and worldly atmosphere.
Our made from scratch dishes source primarily local and organic ingredients and we hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
Bon appétit!
In early 2008, Sam and Alyce Ratchford purchased the two-year-old Vidalia from their friend and former co-worker. They quickly focused the menu around North Carolina products, fresh local produce, and expanded the wine list. Vidalia quickly outgrew its original 45 seat capacity prompting an expansion in the winter of 2015. When Vidalia reopened, the Ratchford’s had added seventy-five additional seats, a screened-in, covered porch, a full bar and a wall of wine. Their mission to source locally and provide high-end North Carolina cuisine in a casual, upscale space remains today.
Classic, long-running fast-food chain known for its burgers, fries & shakes.

The food is our biggest passion. A twist on the ordinary, we are constantly looking for new trends. We don’t limit ourselves to a specific cuisine – we believe all the different cooking styles of the world are equally tasty. We also get a lot of inspiration from Food Network and places we travel to, in and out of the country. We take everyday classics and add a “twist” to make it unique to our style….. from classic southern recipies like the pimento cheese or mountain trout to classic American staples like burgers and Philly cheesesteaks.
Be sure to check out our sister restaurant, Sunny Rock Eggs and Things, located right next door. We serve breakfast with a twist as well! There is food for everyone. We rely on word of mouth. If your enjoyed your experience, please tell your friends!
It feels these days that we are in a constant state of hurry. Almost every facet of our culture has an expedited version of it. We can buy shoes online and they arrive next day. Download a book instantaneously. Bills can be viewed and paid (or ignored) with the click of a button. Order a cheeseburger from a person on the other side of a machine and it’s ready in under two minutes (if the line is short enough). There are few aspects of our lives that have been untouched by this ever-present supply of immediate gratification.
So it is no great mystery that BBQ, the ritual of cooking with fire and smoke, is such a highly sought-after prize. It is the driving source of endless competitions, timeless arguments over what is right and what is wrong, and innumerable quests to find the “very best version.” It is a simple matter, putting a metal box or grate over some fire and letting smoke do its work. But there is more to bbq than just cooking meat. Wherever one finds it, behind that pulled pork, sliced brisket, and blistered sausages is a preparation that requires time, patience, and a tremendous amount of love. BBQ is untouched by the hurry of the world. Since the discovery of fire from our ancestors on down, very little has been touched and, as is the case with the best of it, the tradition has not been touched at all. What was once necessity has become the ultimate luxury. One can sit down at a bar or outside a shack or in their very own homes and enjoy a feast that took half a day to cook, a week to prepare, and a millennium to perfect.
Combining fire and smoke with the very best ingredients the vast American landscape has to offer is time well spent. We believe that true hospitality begins with inviting strangers to sit around a fire, true cooking requires love, and the truest and very best things in life are still worth waiting for.
Country-chic eatery for Southern classics, including skillet-fried chicken, pimento cheese & trout.
Upmarket American fare in a striking converted barn, plus outdoor dining & a free local shuttle.

The first Macado’s restaurant was opened in 1978 by Richard Macher in downtown Roanoke, Virginia. It soon became popular for its eclectic ambiance of cartoon, antique, and local nostalgic decor, as well as its wide array of hearty yet modestly-priced sandwiches, subs, and entrees.
Popular with the college crowd, the restaurant opened additional locations near Virginia Tech, Radford University, and Roanoke College. Locations were added at the rate of one or two per year, including those in neighboring West Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee.
Macado’s just recently opened its newest location in Winchester, Virginia.
The already-lengthy menu has been changed and expanded over the years, and several events have grown in popularity, such as the Macado’s Annual St. Patrick’s Day Party and the Macado’s Halloween Party. Loyal customers have made Macado’s part of their own traditions as well!

We also offer a full-service pizza restaurant featuring a handmade Sicilian style brick oven.
The small batch approach to beer production allows us to take risks with flavors. We are constantly rotating our tap list with new experimental beers as well as maintaining a few flagships we try to always keep on tap. There is nothing we won’t put in beer. We have used the hottest peppers in the world, Himalayan sea salt, and even cake batter. We do our best to source local ingredients when available. We give a local farmer all our spent grain to feed his pigs.

Kitchens are often described as gathering places, the heart of a home. We like to think of The Speckled Trout in a similar sense. Located in downtown Blowing Rock— at the corner of Main Street and Highway 221— is the newly renovated and reinvented restaurant and bottle shop. We explore the roots of Appalachian food and beverage culture, and re-create it in our kitchen by preserving and reviving ingredients of our local heritage. Menus are more than a list of ingredients; they show how people live and what they value. And as the seasons change, so does our menu.
To accompany the celebration of our regional dishes, our beverage program focuses on terroir-driven libations. The term terroir evokes a sense of place, and in our shop this is evident in everything we do. The bottle shop emphasizes traditions of fermentation practices by offering some of the best “home-grown” beers and ciders around. In addition, our wines highlight small producers from old world to new.
In the 1950s, The Speckled Trout was a place to stop and fill up your gas tank. Now, you can fill up on fresh mountain trout, soup beans and hoecakes, and wash it down with local farm beer or fresh rosé. Join us at The Speckled Trout for a taste of regional fare and warm hospitality that will keep y’all coming back!

Okie Dokies Smokehouse is a good ole bbq and rib joint where you can still get a great home cooked meal without breaking the bank.
It all started back in 1999 when we began working out of a little red trailer serving bbq at local festivals, on the roadside, and for private parties.
Over the next eight years, we just kept growing and growing until we realized we needed something bigger than our little red trailer.
Maybe you’ve seen us at places like
Shindig on the Green, the Lake Eden Arts Festival, Downtown after 5 or one of the many other local festivals around town.
Maybe you saw us on WLOS News 13 Carolina Kitchen sharing some of our secrets!
Or maybe, you read how Citizen-Times correspondant Rick McDaniel said Okie Dokies has some of the best bbq and ribs you’ll find around these parts.
Our Swannanoa place is the talk of the town!
And our little red trailer is back on the road again in Candler and Burnsville with expansion in mind!
Wherever you see us, make sure you stop for some award winning bbq and say Hey!
Come on out to our place for some
Swannanoa Swine Dining!
We work hard at finding the highest quality sustainable beans from around the world and our old-school, small-batch roaster is fired up every day to ensure that our coffee is at its peak flavor when it reaches your cup!
Hatched as a grand idea between sets at a late night gig, musicians and former band mates Andy Gibbon and Josh Gibbs decided they should provide the Asheville area with truly delicious, locally roasted, organic coffee.
After rolling up their sleeves and hammering out a solid plan, they settled on the cozy, yet world-class town of Black Mountain, North Carolina as their base of operations. From their coffee bar/roasting facility set up in an incredibly inviting 1950’s craftsman style home, they are now making their coffee available to the world!
At Café Violette, Chef Kyle Martin has created a menu inspired by the Mediterranean coast of France. Food that is rooted in the tradition of French cuisine is often accompanied by the fresh flavors of the sea. This region is home to the oldest cities and ports in France and its food has been influenced by neighboring trading partners for centuries. The ingredients and spices from Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, and North Africa can all be found in this area and are incorporated into France’s rich culinary history.

Proper is an homage to a Southern upbringing. It is preserving a way of life that includes an honest living, being polite, and eating good food.
Boone Saloon was born from a desperate need for a watering-hole that was geared for full grown adults. Sure the college kids would come – we are a college town after all. But, we needed a comfortable, clean place where conversation was revered, quality service and food was appreciated, and style was a heavy consideration.
We started with an old white oak tree that we carved out to be the 25 foot, live edge, bar. Then we tore down all the sheetrock and drop ceilings, ripped up the carpet, and let the building show itself. After we built the stage, built an outside covered deck and added our GameChanger Arcade we were ready to go.

We take the stand that no one’s wrong in this fight — at Mac’s you find generous handcrafted hamburgers and cheeseburgers that come in any number of combinations, including the Mac Burger topped with chili, cheese and slaw.

I grew up in Charlotte, NC, and was lucky enough to have Pasta & Provisions in my neighborhood. As a child I was amazed by the fact that when you stopped by, you always saw people making things. This wasn’t food made by machines in a drab factory somewhere far away. It was made with a lot of pride by people in my neighborhood. I moved to Boone to attend Appalachian State, and started working at Stick Boy Bread Company. I noticed many of the same things that I had seen at Pasta & Provisions-that same commitment to quality, from the ingredients to the methods to caliber of the staff. It seemed logical that a town that loved pastries and great bread could use a pasta shop! Next came sandwiches, craft beer, and fine wine. I thought everything was set….until the space next door to us became available. A casual mention to two friends who had been thinking of opening a brewery led to us becoming the tasting room for Booneshine Brewing Company. On July 1, 2015 we poured the first pint of Booneshine IPA! Booneshine has since moved on to a much larger space, needing more room to produce fresh craft beer.
