Honestly wouldn’t change a thing. Super quaint little hideaway with a beautiful view. Food was stellar. People were nice. Absolutely loved it.

This is a great spot to grab a burger while you're out on a Sunday drive! Or any day actually. It's a long-standing pit stop for motorcycles out cruising route 9, and the addition of the stage has made it a destination on weekend evenings. Don't just drive by!

Passing this mom & pop for the past 3 years off Hwy 9 in Black Mountain. It is rustic and doesn't look like much, but do yourself a favor and STOP HERE!!! The driveway is a little rough and needs grading, but you will be so happy you went. The view and ambiance are totally worth it! Get your favorite beer or adult beverage at the bar inside or the walk-up window. Live bands on Thurs- Sun. There's a schedule on the wall. We ordered a classic burger and their special burger, which was the Bacon & Swiss. The gun was nicely toasted, bacon crispy & hot. There was a Pico and Avocado with crispy lettuce, Jalapeños and not so thick Swiss, which is attention to detail as it changes flavor if it's too thick. The meat was local Hickory Nut Gap, and it was not overseasoned. It was cooked perfectly. I wasn't that hungry, but I was NOT leaving a piece of this burger behind. It's a large burger well.worth the money. The fries were fragrant and crispy with a Cajun seasoning. The classic cheeseburger had the same phenomenal patty with crispy lettuce, tomato, and onion but a special sauce that I literally liked off my fingers. New favorite place for burgers!!! Clean place. Nice friendly staff. Thank you, and we WILL SEE YOU SOON!!!

Great food, great people, great location. Relax and enjoy yourself at the Straightaway- often there's local live music, bring your dog, indoor and outdoor seating, great service and an all around good time. Fantastic burgers, good beer and wine selection. Your stress level lowers several degrees just pulling in!

Such a great place! Only a handful of miles outside of Black Mountain over the continental divide but it feels like a hundred miles away in the country. It's such an easy drive.A nice little stage - Shaggy and Susie were playing and they're fantastic!Grab a table outside and order at the bar inside. I've eaten my fair share of nachos, but I don't think I've ever had them with fried chicken strips. So, so good.Great beer selection, friendly service, wonderful music and unbeatable atmosphere.

This place is great. Just a little off the beaten path but worth the experience. They have really good burgers and of course the loaded tots with pork bbq are slamming.
You walk up to the Deck which is by the way a great spot to grab a seat and relax while enjoying some Food & some Local Beers, there's lots of seating.Walk in and order at the bar. Food runners will serve your food. Friendly Service,Clean, Fast. On Fridays and Saturdays Live Bands Play. There are 2 Decks, one is covered and the other is open to the elements. Umbrellas are placed to help with those hot summer days. Great view of the mountains, wild flowers, trees on the property. If you're headed to Lake Lure, Black Mountain stop by and Check Straightaway out.

I had the heart bowl and my wife had the shrimp and grits. Both of us had the sangria. The food and drink were great. Music was nice.

Delicious pub food prepared uniquely. We spotted the place on a drive down Hwy 9 toward Black Mountain and made a point to have lunch there on the following day (a Friday). Not disappointed.
Vegetarian options: I got the Bean Burger that was dressed with guacamole, onion, cheese, and a special sauce. Delish.

My husband and I hadn't been here since our wedding day seven years ago (just due to a busy life), so the other day while we were on our rare out about adventure we stopped by and I have to tell you- the food was DELICIOUS!!! If you haven't been to this hidden gem, give it a try, you're in for a treat ?
