21 Best American Restaurants near Crossnore

“Great cakes, pies, and ice cream. This is the place to stop and get a dessert.

But check the hours or call to see if they’re open before you go. When we were here in June 2024, they were only open Saturday and Sundays from 1 - 5 pm.

Oh and great antiques and homemade soaps.

Also, they only accept cash or check!“

“Great food and staff highly recommended“

“food and service were wonderful!“

“It was absolutely amazing and peaceful. Best message I have ever had at the Spa.

Rooms: Clean and accommodating. Colonial charm.

Walkability: Everything was within walking distance of 5 to 7 minutes.

Food & drinks: The food was amazing. We tried several items and enjoyed everything. I do not typically order steak as I always seemed to get disappointed. I had the Prime NY Strip, and it was perfectly cooked and as tender and juicy as it should be. Absolutely fantastic!“

“This is a great place to watch a game! They have 18 TVs. They had live music. The atmosphere is relaxed and fun. The roadhouse nachos are excellent. The wings are very good and they have a large selection of sauces for the wings. There is a good selection of beer on tap. We ate at the bar so we could watch a football game and the service was excellent.“

“Fabulous food and wonderful people. Great dining experience. I’ll definitely be going back!“

“We have been here a couple times. Once last year on our visit for a women's retreat - had the hog rolls, and omg...that alone - and all the sauces...so good, be sure to ask to try them. And then I brought my husband back and again - the hog rolls are the winner...with the something stinger sauce? anyway - I agree with whomever said the young gal cared more about her phone, that was true the first time we were there, but seemed to me that they got the message b/c the last time we were in - which was March, she was reading a book. This is a family owned place and I am impressed at their drive for customer service. This is a hard business and a super hard time to be in the restaurant biz. More people should give this a try!“

“Amazing as it always is! We eat here weekly!“

“I had the pizza, which, when fresh and right from oven, was the best I've had in the US. Not kidding. Only the one I fix, my father makes, or ones I've had in Italy were better. It took like 20-30 minutes so u know it was fresh. They have a thin and thick crust available. There is a Subway and McDonald's right across the street. Just don't. Support local business and eat here. The sandwiches and burgers others were eating looked good too. Highly recommend.“

“Just stopped and picked up their Carolina Squatch pizza. Cannot recommend this place enough! Excellent pizza. Crust was perfect. Sauce is very flavorful. Staff were very friendly. Great customer service. The pizza we ordered was a meat lovers. We’d never had pecan smoked bacon. Yummy and has a wonderful smoky flavor. Go support this local gem!!“

“As a local I am delighted to witness the transformation of Grassy Creek into an inviting establishment under new ownership, (THANK YOU, Derek and Erin Buchanan) for offering an impressive course and satisfying lunch and dinner options. Would 10/10 recommend“

“I had a great evening with SaraJoe as my waitress/ bartender. Sara is funny and 'on point' with drinks and service.The ambiance is just as you'd expect for a middle upper class mountain town, amazing! I tried the pizza it was great but not my favorite. There is a full menu and a good beer selection on tap.Make the trip to Banner Elk Cafe Sara Jo is a server worth the ride for impeccableservice and a great sense of humor“

“The food was delicious!! Rueben was thick sliced meat with just enough kraut and grilled. We will be going back. Note: not a lot of no bread healthy type food.“

“They have a extensive menu with many choices. On a busy Sunday morning, we were seated quickly, but had to wait a while for a waitress to come and take our order. Oddly, they offered coffee immediately, but not water. When the server brought our food, we asked for water, and it took a while. We were half way through our meal before water arrived.
My wife had a mushroom based omelet which was disappointing because it was not very substantial, mushrooms barely noticeable, mostly red pepper and egg, fried on both sides.
I had better luck with the waffle which was tasty with chopped fresh strawberries sprinkled on top.
We asked for coffee refill, which was delayed by the need to brew a new pot. As compensation, the restaurant gave us 2 large coffees to go.“
