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!”

“My husband and I love to eat at the Tin Trout. Excellent food and service !”

“Lovely experience at this winery! 5 for $20 flights have my heart! Great selection of dry, semi-sweet, and sweet wines. I'm sure this place is gorgeous come summer. Highly recommend stopping after hiking Linville Falls ♥️”

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

This is my favorite restaurant! The music/the service/the food and spices! I recommend this Mexican restaurant as the best one in North Carolina!!!”

“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. ?”

“This was the absolute best place we ate during our stay in Elk Park. The breakfast buffet on the weekend was fabulous and we highly recommend it. Amanda is an amazing cook!”

“All homemade pies. You can get them warm with a scoop of ice cream on top. We go every year and it’s a great time talking to the owners. Cute shop and welcoming location.”

“We took the kids last night, and everything was wonderful. Great Service, great food, and great atmosphere. We will definitely be back”

“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!”

“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.”

“they should serve alcohol”

“nice venue tasty sandwiches”

“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.”

“If you are around Sugar Mountain or Beach Mountain Ski Resorts area and feeling like having Chinese, definitely a great place for the taste and cost. You may have to look beyond the usual warm and fuzzy server/hostess/waiter approach to enjoy the amazing food.”

“Had a good experience after a mishap with supplies at the store. They quickly addressed the issue and even tried to compensate me for it.

I had to wait for awhile. However I gave them a 5 because of the following: Any business can have something unexpected happened, and in my opinion it’s about how you handle those situations that can make a difference. And we as the customer should have patience in unexpected situations. This location stepped up to address the issue. Along with the fact that they were very interactive and aware of everything that was going on in the shop.

I will definitely come back the next time we are in town. Thank you guys.”

“Every visit is a great experience. Great food, great service and wonderful friendly staff.”

“Tasty burgers and sandwiches. Loved the local historical photos on the walls.”

“just had the 2 for 6 porkchop biscuit. very awesome.”

“I always get fast friendly service at Hardee's in Newland. Judy and Tiffany does a wonderful job serving up the best tasting breakfast in town. Brenda makes the best biscuits! They look and taste amazing!”

“Stopped in for a quick bite. Almost fully automated service (i.e. order from kiosk). Eating in, get a number and food is brought to your table. Drive thru window was in lobby, do employee had to bring bags into eating area. First McDonslds I've been to that was designed this way”
