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 !”

“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. ?”

“Just a fantastic place. Wonderful atmosphere and friendly staff. Kyle was hanging up lights during our visit. He really cared a lot about the place. You can see he loves to host events for his customers and wants every experience to be a five start experience. Ashley was kind also she was great at quickly delivering our food and the drinks were great. Bobby in the back making the food maintained a clean appearance and perfectly delivered meals quickly in a brick stone oven for our pizza. 10/10 experience.”

“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 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.”

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

“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.”
