15 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Newland

“Finished up our weekend in the high country at Linville Falls winery after hikes at Otter and Linville falls.Highly recommend doing both hikes!The facilities are nicely done and have a Christmas tree farm on property to boot!Wines and snacks are all delicious and staff/ owners were very nice and friendly. 5 stars!“

“Reuben was delicious, the purportedly “small” order of fries is actually huge (seriously, largest potato wedges I have ever seen) and the beer prices are surprisingly reasonable. The people that run the place are very nice and welcoming. Can’t go wrong.I didn’t stay in the hostel, but if it’s ran anything like the restaurant, it’s probably awesome as well.“

“We love visiting the winery every time of year. They have wonderful wine, incredible scenery, food truck(s), and some of the best local musicians. in cooler weather you can sit by a fire pit and make smores from their prepackaged kits, sit in one of the covered areas or bundle up and enjoy the outdoors. In all seasons you can enjoy the bold stream, hike up the layered Vineyards, enjoy views of Grandfather Mountain and just enjoy their great wines or frozen drinks or even non alcoholic options. we love sharing an afternoon with friends and family at Grandfather..our favorite winery in the High Country.“

“Very cool spot. Great beer seltzer selection. Place was packed on Sat eve. Only complaint is live music upstairs was sooo loud even downstairs was so loud had to scream to carry on a conversation. Music was great but you don't need to have it blaring to be good.“

“Found this place "by accident" when we were driving to Linville Caverns. They had set up a smoker up just off the road and the smell lured us in.You drive along a gravel drive back off the road for a short bit and the scene opens up to a beautiful setting of the "barn" and decks and ponds. It's absolutely gorgeous!There was a group of 12 of us and we all grabbed beers and walked around and explored the space. Very relaxing. Then we made our way back to order lunch and, between the 12 of us, we ordered about half the menu.If you order trout, you can either go catch it yourself (HOW FUN!!) or have them catch one for you. The trout is cooked simply (which is the best way to treat super fresh quality ingredients) and it may have been the best trout i've ever had. We had three of them for our group and everybody raved about it. Definitely the STAR of the menu. The hushpuppies and fries that came with it? Eh. They both needed to be cooked more. Fries were not very hot and no crisp to them at all (flavor was good). The hushpuppies had no crisp to them at all and were a bit soggy on bottom where they had soaked up moisture from the fries or the fish.The BBQ pork was top notch. Several of us got it as part of the meat lovers basket and we all agreed it was great but I think i'd get it as a sandwich next time and skip the meat lovers basket because, while the flavors were spot on, the rest of the meats (wings, ribs, brisket) were on the tough/chewy side. Good... but not great.Also of note was the pimento cheese app. Pretty darned good.The staff was a mix of owners and family and they were all SUPER! Great folks. Fun to talk to.We will be going back when we are in the area.“

“Highly recommend the Country Apple ice cream. Taste just like an apple pie!“

“Great food and staff highly recommended“

“Went for lobster dogs and to enjoy great wine in the main room.Spent time with the family running it. They have bought and improved so many businesses. The town square is vibrant because of their work.Our family is so thankful for the decades of hard work that family has done.Food & drinks: Wonderful“

“We stopped in for lunch yesterday and were blown away by the food and the friendly service. All of the sauces are made in house and they are all so delicious, it's hard to pick just one. We will definitely be back!!“

“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.“

“Best wings I’ve ever had. Also never heard of a pizzadilla before but it was amazing especially with the home made ranch. My husband said you can taste the dill in it, it was really good, I wish I could take it back home with me. We came to the area for our honeymoon and we’ve made a trip their 3 times this week because of how good their food is and my husband loves their velvet panda oatmeal stout and the copper elk ale.“
