Restaurants near Jonas Ridge

“We stopped by on our way home to GA because we had to detour due to road closure. We were tired, hungry and give out. The owner and staff were extremely helpful, polite and gave us great instructions on getting around the road closure. Grill was closed unfortunately so we couldn't get food but everything else we bought was great. They really made us feel welcome and brightened our day which was a long, tough one. Would highly recommend stopping by and if we are in the area again, we will make it a point to stop there. Its a great little store with a bit of everything. A side note also, it was one of the cleanest bathrooms I've used on the road!”

“This place was definitely jumping when we arrived later on a Sunday afternoon. I've been here once before many years ago and it was definitely not this busy. That's probably a great thing for them! Not as much for us though since it took awhile to even get to the front to order anything.

My husband and I both chose to order flights is 4 to try out a few things. We took our flights to the first open table we could find and listened to the live jazz band for a bit. They were great and the atmosphere of the area was also stunning. But it was simply just too busy for us to relax and enjoy, so we ultimately decided to leave after that flight and go somewhere else.”

“Today was our first trip to Newland. We were looking for coffee and found Big Mike’s. The shop was so cozy and the staff were excellent! As for the coffee… We got our coffee and left. I got to the car, tasted my coffee and was perplexed. My order was specific, and when I tasted it, I was sure they got it wrong. I went back inside and verified it was sugar free. Y’all. It was delicious! The best cup of coffee I’ve had in recent memory. We will definitely be back!”

“Never had anything but a great meal here.”

“This Group of reporters editor owner are all dedicated to keeping the mountains beautiful and its people thriving for decades now the high country prayers has shown a faithful determination to tell the truth and make that truth count”

“One of my favorite places for lunch! The food is always delicious and the specials are a nice treat when you want to vary off the menu. I have not been disappointed yet!!!”

“Great spot to go! Make sure you have cash as they don't take cards. Only one elderly guy working but he was really sweet and going as fast as he could. He is the only one I saw at least. Ice cream is amazing!”

“wonderful expirience. coffee is fantastic. the owner is friendly and professional! highly recommend”

“While in the area volunteering a group of us had dinner here. Seated pretty quickly, served quickly by a friendly server and the food was enjoyed by everyone! Would certainly recommend this business to anyone in the area! They even have a little salsa bar! The mango salsa was DELICIOUS, btw!”

“We stopped here to grab some breakfast after we delivered a shipment in Newland. My husband went in and ordered myself a bacon/egg croissant that was just like I would make..the kind ladies working made my husband an omelette with whatever he wanted per what add ons they had in stock. The atmosphere outside was so peaceful and quiet plus the coffee shop supports the Communities for Children's home. ?”

“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!”

“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!”

“I had a great hot dog and the best fresh chips I remember eating. They also fed my fiancée peach cider and babysat her while I played another round of disc golf ?.”

“Right on main street and very busy and small, service was good for the one server and the one cook. Pizza was good. I think it only has 6 tables so at lunch time many are turned away.”

“Just a wonderful place. In a strong community fighting back after the storm. If your near show them some love.”

“Best Pizza & atmosphere. Love bringing my babies here to eat !”

“Amazing food and very friendly staff 😊 definitely one of our favorite places!”

“The food was likely the best Mexican I have had in forever. Not greasy at all!!! Great taste, seasoned well and hot when it got to the table. Server was a little absent minded but did okay. The restaurant was really nice and clean.”

“food and service were wonderful!”

“they should serve alcohol”

“I would just like to say that the owner of this restaurant is a true class act and a real gem of a person. 4 days after hurricane Helene hit, I still hadn't been able to get in touch with my family, as it had wiped out cell service far and wide. One night I was out driving around, and after 30 miles, I found this restaurant and was able to hook up to their Wi-Fi. During this process, the owner rolled up, probably wondering what I was doing sitting in his parking lot in the dark in the middle of the night. When he inquired as to what I was doing, I told him that I was trying to find a way to get in touch with my family. Not only did he tell me to take all the time that I needed, he also asked me if I needed anything that he could get for me out of the restaurant, such as food, supplies, water, ice. When I told him that I did indeed need ice (as my power had been out for 4 days at this point), he went inside and brought me three bags of ice, shook my hand and wished me the best. He even told me to come back the next day and he would feed me. Thanks to his kindness, I was able to get in contact with my frantic family and let them know that I was indeed okay. In all of the chaos and horror of hurricane helene, this was one bright spot. Thank you very much, sir. You'll never know what it meant to myself and my family.”

“Anyone who gave this restaurant anything less than a 5 star is crazy. The staff here are quiet. THAT DOES NOT MEAN THEY HAVE AN ATTITUDE. The food is always hot and they have great ”

“I went in and the food was hot and fast. The service was incredible, and i would recommend anyone looking for a comfortable and friendly resturant go to hardees.”

“The employees are great. They went above and beyond to accommodate my order. I was there with my little 4 pound Chihuahua who I had just brought home from vet. McDonald's being her favorite place thinking I take her there maybe she might perk up and forgive me for taking her to the vet. The employees showed her so much love and attention I think that was the best medicine. I can not thank them enough for treating my little fur baby like a Princess.”
