A Little Something For Everyone. The Local is the vision of a Boone family who wanted to create a space where family & friends can come to relax and have fun. We are committed to working together with our local community, supporting and encouraging each other by choosing local ingredients and beers first whenever possible. You will see our walls decorated in art from local artists and photographers. Guests can enjoy a meal crafted in-house from fresh ingredients paired with a cocktail or cold beer, meet with friends for drinks and appetizers, or watch their favorite sports teams on large flat screen TVs. Our weekends are filled with a variety of live music such as rock, funk, bluegrass and everything in between. The Local will continue to grow and change as our focus of community and as ideas evolve. The ideas are endless and we are excited to see what comes next!

This farm to table restaurant in downtown Banner Elk is the newest creation of chef Nicole Palazzo. It features a rotating menu of fresh, seasonal local foods paired with local and regional wines in a slightly upscale atmosphere. Typical menu items range from steaks and seafood to chicken, beef and sushi. Particular favorites are the North Carolina rainbow trout, blackened chicken tacos and roasted beet salad with fried goat cheese.
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.

Paul’s father was from Cuba, and Paul had a great love and appreciation for Cuban food while he was growing up.

He has now turned his dream into a reality, and Bodegas is loved by locals and visitors alike.

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.

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.

FROM A ROMANTIC DINNER…
TO A GRAND RECEPTION
Dutch’s Daughter Restaurant began in 1984 at the local VFW. Owner Eileen Gideon named the restaurant “Dutch’s Daughter” in honor of her father Fred “Dutch” Onderdonk. After many successful years at the VFW, Eileen decided to design a restaurant to meet all of the Frederick area’s needs. This was achieved in March of 2000 when she opened our current location. Since then, Dutch’s has continued to serve high-quality food and provide excellent service.
