“I went here on a random winter Friday in January. Bryan was super friendly and it was literally just me in the tasting room but it was very relaxing. The vibe was so nice even though it was windy out. I got to just chill by the window and do my flight and sip on a glass of their tasty cab franc. Highly recommend, any time of the year. They are open Fridays during Jan/Feb which is one of the few vineyards open this time of the year.”

“I love Laurel Gray!! My hubs and I come here every year and this past time we were there they remembered us! It was awesome!! Their wines are good and the patios are an excellent way to enjoy your wine! The views at the vineyards are so calming. See you guys next year!!!”
“Stopping off the highway for gas and something to eat, we spotted this diner. It was filed with locals. The service was great. The place was clean but nothing to write home about. We'll probably never get back that way again, but we would definitely make a point of stopping by again if we did. Meal time or not.”
“I have had nothing to complain about or take issue with so far. I don't go here a lot, but for a pretty long time when I do eat here there has always been good service. The employes come and go over the years. But the good service and the effort twards running smoothly has been consistent.”
“One of our favorite places for a nice quiet dinner out. Gotta ask for the heat though (all the way), and they’ll happily comply. Never had a bad meal or experience.”
“Best coffee shop in town! Will definitely be a frequent visitor. Atmosphere inside is comforting and relaxing. Good place to have a study session with your coffee. Had the mocha frappe, it was awesome!”
“Came in for the night from Charlotte to see The Reeves theater. Did not disappoint !! The music, the sound were unbelievable. Great cafe and bar. This is worth the 1.15 min drive from Charlotte to sit in this old theater and listen to the bands.”
“I went in today to get some of their pastries. The person that took my order asked me how I liked my sample box of coffee beans that I purchased a few days prior. I wasn’t expecting him to remember me as we only talked for a minute or so.I left knowing that I would be coming here for all my future coffee needs. Plus, they roast their own coffee, have a good variety and everything out of the sample box has been great!”
“Service was great and attentive. Had the collard greens wontons to start which were tasty but a little over cooked. Fresh bread on both of our sandwiches was a huge plus! A cute, cozy place.”
“The craft cocktails are top notch. The service is even better. The clientele is eclectic. The owner/operator will always make you feel like family. This is the best place in Elkin.”
“We've been to this place several times. We visit there on occasion from Florida. Every time we go, the food is fantastic and the service just as good. We feel loved on and cared about. Great country place and great country food!”
“Really great place to go in Elkin to relax, with drinks, live music, and usually a food truck or two. Live music is almost always good. The design of the bathrooms are really cool, and so is the design of the rest of the place.”
“This is the cutest little shop. The sandwiches were amazing. Everything in the deli cooler looked sooooo good. Definitely rate this one of the best lunches in Elkin.”
“If you like country cooking, look no further. Home cooking!!! This place was so good we are already planning a return trip. Service was better than great. Easily tip the tab!”
“Very much a family place! Great food! Wonderful people!Vegetarian options: Home cooked vegetables. Great salads!Kid-friendliness: Very much a family atmosphereWheelchair accessibility: Easy in and easy out”
“Awesome place to stop and get either breakfast or lunch. The service was very nice kind ladies, the food was out very fast, the prices are very great! Very happy, bookmarked the place so if we are ever around again we are definitely coming back!!!”
“We stopped in for what we thought would be a quick cocktail, but we ended up staying for a few hours. Not only were the cocktails tasty and extremely well executed, they were visually appealing as well. We ordered the bacon and Brie flatbread which was so much better than we expected. The balsamic reduction drizzle was the star! Our server was the best. She was super friendly, very attentive and she just all around brought good vibes. Unfortunately I can’t remember her name, but she had fun green hair. I would say the Banana Puddin cocktail was my favorite, so delicious!! All thanks to our server for a great experience.”
“We eat here whenever we're in the area. Not just because it is close to the house, but it is truly good food. The service is always kind and attentive, even if you're not from around the area. You'll notice that this is a place for the locals, as there is a men's group that eats there at breakfast time, and everybody knows everybody. The interior is casual with all chair seating- no booths. The bathrooms are on the backside of the building - you go through an enclosed hallway with windows viewing the exterior to get there. Don't expect fancy here, but do expect a quality meal at a good price.”
“This diner is pretty good. The service was excellent. My wife had Traditional Eggs Benedict and I had eggs, sausage and hash browns. My wife said the Eggs Benedict were excellent - very high praise from her. My food was good, but the hash browns were a bit dry. Price was in the same category as Waffle House - reasonable.”
“Great local place to eat. I would recommend if you like small town atmosphere with friendly service. Food is excellent, prices are appropriate for the meal. If you have to wait don’t complain, the building is small and the food is excellent so expect to wait if you want to eat here.”
“Love all the food that is served and the kind people that take your order. The cook is really great on how he cooks your food and very delicious. Love the cornbread and pintos and all the side veggies.”
“What a gem! I had had dinner across the street and decided to call in here for a glass of wine. It exceeded my expectations - lovely staff, an amazing food menu (I had a delicious bread pudding), and a huge choice of wines (we tried the Carolina flight and the Austrian flight). It was such a lovely end to an evening. Next time I’ll go back for the full menu!”
“Had a hard time finding Mason’s this dark foggy night! It is located on the side of a lumber company building. Really nice and clean inside. Great milkshake and cheerwine float. Fast and friendly service. Worth the drive.Parking: Park in front of the lumber company and walk to the left side of the building”
“Love the food and family that runs this small restaurant. Hamburger steak is the best I can find local.Parking: You just pull in and park in front of the restaurant and walk short distance to door.”
“Had a pot roast meal for catering/ large group.The food was delicious, some of the best I've eat.It was traditional southern food cooked perfectly with tons of flavor.Highly recommend.”
“Excellent food and great little hole in the wall. Family oriented and friendly staff. Small town favorite for many years and continues to grow. Best homemade biscuits and homemade gravy around”
“The food was excellent. We had the pasta with chicken, and the tomatoes, onions and olive oil gave it a delicious flavor. We also had the chicken thigh/ leg with mac and cheese and collards which was also quite good. Definitely going back.”
“Love this place!!! I always get the chicken and steak enchiladas with avocado and salad on top! Love the salsa! Prices are a little high but worth it! There aren’t many options in this little town but this is probably the best!!!”
“Stopped in to take home a couple of sandwiches-which were delicious (forgot to take pix). We ended up buying some preserved foods. Great visit. Staff was attentive & quick with sandwich prep.”
