13 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Blowing Rock

“Everything was just incredible. Location, atmosphere, incredible bartender, mindblowing food and drinks. 11/10“

“I wish I had taken more photos. This was one of the best sandwiches I have ever had… and the other two we got were just as good! I highly recommend Say Cheese! Stop by and grab a sandwich and you won’t regret it! Can’t wait to go back!“

“If you’re looking for the ultimate ice cream indulgence, this is the place. The ice cream is full-fat, ultra-creamy, and absolutely packed with flavor — no shortcuts or watered-down taste here. Every bite is rich and satisfying, just like real ice cream should be. The cookies are perfectly soft and chewy, making the ice cream sandwiches feel homemade but elevated. You can tell they care about quality — from the unique flavor pairings to the textures. And the servings? Huge. These sandwiches are no joke — they’re big enough to share (but you probably won’t want to). This shop is a must-visit for any dessert lover. Forget the low-fat stuff — this is how ice cream is meant to be enjoyed!“

“Run don’t walk to Flavias! The cakes were not only stunning to look at but incredible to eat! We tried the creme brûlée, blackberry lemonade,Dubai chocolate, red velvet cheesecake and chocolate mousse… they were all great. The staff working the shop was lovely and so personable and helpful.“

“First time visit Friday night. Dawson was an excellent server! The food was HOT, Fresh and delicious !“

“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.“

“Cute wine shop located in the downtown Blowingrock area! They have pre-set wine flights to try a variety of wine, or you can buy wine by the bottle to enjoy. The atmosphere is very inviting with indoor and outdoor seating. Space is limited, be prepared to wait on a weekend or a busy day.“

“Fantastic food, drinks, service, atmosphere. You will not be disappointed.“

“Food is amazing as well as the customer service. If you are in the area do not miss out on this gem!“

“Very rude host! Awesome waitress!“

“The chicken wings and ale house burger is outstanding! Friendly. relaxed atmosphere and a great assortment of craft beer.“

“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“

“We can't say enough great things about this place. Our waitress was amazing and the food was beyond. Even down to the wing sauce she recommended. Definitely looking forward to coming back! It's worth the 2 hours drive!“
