21 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Newland

“I've visited Linville Falls Winery multiple times, and it's always a pleasure. We love coming here with friends and kids. The atmosphere is fantastic, whether you choose to sit outside by the small pond or inside the building. On weekends, there's always live music, and you can even grab some delicious pizza from the truck outside. The territory is very large, so there's plenty of space to walk around. It's great for kids and dogs too, with plenty of room to run. Overall, it has a wonderful, almost Italian atmosphere!“

“We lost El Ranchero in the flood this past September.... Los Arcoiris is the next very best thing. The food is amazing, exactly the same as El Ranchero was. The service is exceptional. The same wait staff from El Ranchero is now at Los Arcoiris. We love them. The chimichangas are the best I've ever had.“

“We came, we ate, we are coming back! Used to Manhattan pizzas...and this bakery puts them all to shame...nothing like a "Meat-Eater's" pie and one of their delicious carrot cake muffins for dessert!“

“JD and the staff at The Appalachian Station at 19E were great. JD went out of his way to help me out at the end of my AT journey, and for that I am eternally thankful. Fabulous beer selection and very knowledgeable bar tender. Anything I requested, he could give me a perfect solution. And the Rueben sandwich is on point!“

“visited for my first time Monday 7/29 even though I have visited the general area for years. I'm up here on work, but was pleasantly welcomed in and Kate made fantastic suggestions that perfectly suited me beer tastes. I look forward to visiting again“

“I ordered the Banner Elk Turkey scorcher today and it was the most amazing sandwich I’ve had in a long time! I will definitely be coming back!“

“This is an amazing spot! Live music and food trucks go perfectly with a flight of wine! The wines are delightful and the scenery is amazing too!“

“Highly recommended! Well worth the extra dime in a very quaint ice cream store in the heart of Banner Elk. The local gas station might sell cheaper stuff- come here for the real deal 🍦🍨“

“Delicious meal thank you very much!“

“Great find. Will definitely be back. 😋“

“After a LONG day of hiking and exploring this place is great to have a cold drink and rest your feet. My husband and I stumbled across this place and we're happy we did. The people there are hilarious, even though I got made fun of for wearing a jacket, I dished it right back to them LOL. Good vibes and drinks... can't go wrong! Can't wait to go back.“

“One of my favorites!
⭐ Banner Elk Winery — Banner Elk, North Carolina

A perfect family gathering spot for the holidays. A perfect place to have a family gathering.

Banner Elk Winery is truly one of the most beautiful and inviting places to gather with family during the holiday season in North Carolina. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm, attentive service that set the tone for an exceptional visit. The team here really knows how to make guests feel welcome — whether you're a large family group, a couple exploring the High Country, or travelers like us soaking in the mountain charm.

The wine selection is absolutely exquisite. Every pour was smooth, flavorful, and carefully described by the staff, who clearly love what they do. It’s rare to find a winery where every member of a group loves something different and everyone finds a new favorite. Banner Elk Winery delivers that effortlessly.

The grounds are breathtaking — perfectly manicured, peaceful, and designed for lingering. We enjoyed sitting outside with a glass in hand, surrounded by rolling hills, crisp mountain air, and gorgeous views that feel straight out of a holiday postcard. It’s also a beautiful place for a stroll, with plenty of space to relax, unwind, and take in the scenery.

For anyone visiting the area — especially during the holidays — Banner Elk Winery is the ideal destination for family gatherings, celebrations, or simply enjoying the magic of the mountains. Exceptional wine, impeccable service, and unforgettable ambiance. A true gem of North Carolina.“

“I stopped in for some beers during my trip to Banner Elk. I've had German beer all over the US, and many more in Germany, and I can honestly say that this brewery has the *best* Marzen I've had Stateside. Make this a stopping point if you're in this area. Looking forward to what this place produces in the future!“

“Great food and staff highly recommended“

“My husband and I recently went to Banner Elk to celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary. We stopped in at The Village for a couple drinks and an appetizer. It was amazing!!! Our server was Derek and he was fantastic! This is definitely a place we will visit again. Excellent wine and food selections.“

“I'm a first generation Sicilian, so I grew up on the cooking of my Nona and mother; so I set a high bar of standard. The food was better than the average Italian restaurants that you will find in a strip mall. The service was wonderful and fast. I regret that I don't remember the name of the young gentleman that was our server. The bathroom was terrible...enough said. Portions are quite large. It's too bad that they, like many businesses, don't offer military/veteran discounts. If it wasn't for those of us who served, so our Country can afford those the luxury of freedom, businesses would not be able to operate, as they now do. "Freedom does not come for free". All in all, I rate them 31/2 stars.“

“I want to thank you So much. My daughter and grandson’s visited you shop and told you about my brothers.. Fred and Larry.. RIP.. and my love of Harleys and Eagles.. you were touched.. and gave my daughter some merchandise.. coffee,shirt,mug this brought me to tears..

“Awesome bbq food, cozy atmosphere and a good place for making memories with family“

“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 and service were amazing!! Our waitress was a sweet blonde young lady and she said chef jack was running the kitchen. Props to them!!“
