24 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Newland

“This winery is a great place to enjoy an afternoon with friends. There is a nice selection of reds and whites to try and a great indoor/outdoor patio area. Food isn't served but food trucks are often parked outside the patio area for hungry wine drinkers. There is a paved walking path foe checking out the vineyard.“

“This is under management I believe. Food is really good, service is pretty good, The sweet tea was not good. But don't let that deter you from coming and eating at this fine place. I do video reviews on Facebook. Be sure to check me out.“

“My wife and I were visiting the area for our anniversary and stopped by on our way out of town. We were there for their Breakfast/Brunch buffet. Didn't know what to expect but man was everything tasty and the service was exceptional. Even though we live 2 hours away I think we will be back“

“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!“

⭐ 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.“

“Delicious meal thank you very much!“

“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 🍦🍨“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“We had an awesome dinner last , we always do, Our waitress, Sue Russ, was superb, she never missed a beat, serving 12 people, I give her five stars, fortunate to have her“

“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“

“Classic Chinese joint vibes. Food was great and comparable to what I am used to. Texture was great on everything. Flavor was even better. The workers were so nice.

Dinner was general Tso's, sesame chicken, and szechuan chicken.

Enjoyed it so much that we went back to get some lomein so we have it for lunch tomorrow.“

“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!!“
