Hellbender Bed & Beverage Bars • $$
239 Sunset Dr LL, Blowing Rock

“Hellbender is an absolute gem in Blowing Rock! My husband ordered the Pork Ramen bowl - he said, “By far, it had the most depth and flavor of anything I’ve ever tasted”. I had the Adult Grilled Cheese Sandwich - if you are looking for fresh, healthy, and local goodness, then order this! The food is creative and delicious, the High Country Famous cocktail was freshing and spot-on, and the atmosphere is both welcoming and elevated - perfect for any day in Blowing Rock. Every detail, from the service to the presentation, feels thoughtfully done. This is the kind of place that makes you want to linger just a little longer…. Highly recommend to anyone visiting or living nearby.“

“After driving past Mexican Rock several times, I decided to stop in and try the food for the first time. I was dinning alone, was quickly seated, and chips and salsa were delivered right away. they were very good. I had extremely high hopes. I watch a large group being seated at a table across from me, a man and his son, and then an older couple . The large group had their drink order taken, then the man and son and a server bypassed me once again to get the couples drink order before turning to notice me 20 minutes after being seated, still no one had taken my drink or food order. The restaurant was no where near full. I asked to pay for my chips and salsa to which he replied "it's free" i proceeded to lay whatever cash i had in my pocket ($6or$7) on the table and left. maybe had i not been alone, service would have been better? I understand larger groups tend to leave larger tips, but I tip very well if my service is good and still tip if it isn't. maybe I will give it another chance in a few months I dont know. But for today's experience, I would not waste my time again“

This town and the Inn are out of a Hallmark Movie! It was the perfect escape from Charleston and Charlotte. A close drive surrounded by stunning mountains, farm animals, quaint restaurants and shops! The cabin was very clean and cozy! The staff went above and beyond for us while we celebrated my birthday!“

“Well, I drank some beers, and then I had a few more. Then I stumbled out yonder to the food truck and got me a little bit to eat. Then, I was ready to drink another couple of brews. So I did just that. Then I walked somewhere else and did similar things that were fun and exciting to me like jai alai or chess. I'm longing for a strategic game of Twister at the moment. Have fun, be safe, and drink cold beers like a Boss.“

“Beautiful covered area for outdoor dining! My husband and I both ordered the SOUTHERN STYLE CHICKEN SCHNITZEL and it was amazing. We were told this was the first night with a new chef and we were not disappointed. We also ordered an appetizer of fried okra which was equally as good. We enjoyed cocktails at the bar and the service was wonderful! We are going back next week for music on Thursday night!“

“I was in Boone with my sister visiting friends and we needed something tasty to eat. We decided on Pepper's and boy were we not disappointed. From the food to the service we were completely satisfied.
My sister and I had the fried chicken sandwich and it was so tender it basically melted in my mouth. How lucky we were to have happened upon this cute little restaurant. If I should ever find myself back in the little town of Boone I'll be sure to stop by again.“
