Restaurants near Roaring River

“Brenda is a great cook and a great person! Burgers are delicious. Not enough people know about this restaurant. That's the only problem with it! It's cute and quaint on the inside. Takeout orders have always been pleasing to me and my family.”

“Noticed they were open Saturday morning, grabbed a couple breakfast sandwiches and hash browns..they were great! And lots of hash browns!Need to actually go in and check out more of the menu.And it's actually Ed's Cafe ”

“I ordered the red ale, the double IPA and the IPA - all were top notch brews! Hawaiian pizza was also very good. Bartender (Ernesto) was initially very attentive and on top of things but got caught up working on closing duties and neglected the bar for quite a while. Could have sold me a lot more!”

“One of my favorite local go-to places! Large selection of candy, baking needs, baked goods, snacks, deli meats & cheeses, etc. Make sure to grab a sandwich while you're visiting- they're delicious! It's also easy to make vegan or vegetarian accommodations by grabbing a veggie sandwich.If you've never been, I recommend a Saturday morning visit (it will be busy) to grab a bag of donuts & some coffee.”

“We stopped in while doing the passport wineries tour. So glad we stopped in. We had a wonderful time. After the wine tasting we did one of the short trails to the dam. Anytime we can have some wine and then do a hike/walk is a great combo for us.”

“Talia’s has delicious food and drinks. It has a great atmosphere for dining, meeting with friends, reading, or doing work on the computer. I love the chicken salad croissant best. Talia’s also has art available for purchase around the cafe which is neat. Definitely a must-try!”

“I love this place! There food is delicious, I tell friends it’s just like eating at Granny,s! (And my Granny was the best cook). Service is always excellent ?. Now, if you are looking for fancy it’s not ! It’s an old country diner with great food, just what we were looking for, we drive about an hour one way to eat there once or twice a week.”

“Great spot to relax and enjoy the river. We sat outside on the deck, definitely where you want to be when the weather is nice. Great service. Dog friendly. The dog had a bowl of water and a kids burger. The humans had wine flights. The menu is small but lovely and complements the wine well. We had the pesto and turkey apple and Brie panini.”

“This is the place to go! The burgers are amazing and cooked perfectly. The music is great and not too loud. There's a smell of wood smoke that adds to the amazing atmosphere. The day we were here the TVs were set to fireplaces which was a great touch. I've had Alex and Jeff for servers, and they were absolutely amazing. Don't pass it by!Kid-friendliness: They are patient with kiddos”

“We eat here whenever we're in the area. Not just because it is close to the house, but it is truly good food. The service is always kind and attentive, even if you're not from around the area. You'll notice that this is a place for the locals, as there is a men's group that eats there at breakfast time, and everybody knows everybody. The interior is casual with all chair seating- no booths. The bathrooms are on the backside of the building - you go through an enclosed hallway with windows viewing the exterior to get there. Don't expect fancy here, but do expect a quality meal at a good price.”

“My Mama passed away from Covid three years ago in November. She always baked me a pineapple cake for my birthday, and also just because I was craving it many times. I haven't been able to find anything close to the way hers tasted. Today is my birthday and my husband ordered me a pineapple cake from Bon Bon's. He said he ordered it late, but after hearing why he wanted it so badly they made sure I had a pineapple cake for my birthday today. I cried because it tasted just like my Mama's, and it absolutely made my day. Everyone was bragging on how wonderful it tasted, but no one could have enjoyed it anymore than I did because I felt like Mama was hugging me from Heaven. Thank you so much. I highly recommend Bon Bon's. They are wonderful!”

“The best food! So yummy, and quick! The atmosphere is warm and inviting and they always treat you like family. The owner is so thoughtful and caring of her customers and always trys her best to keep her community happy. I recommend this place for all 3 meals of the day because when you're tired of cooking they definitely have some great home-cooked meals.”

“Even though I have lived out of state for more than 10 years, I am a native of Wilkes. 6th & Main has always been the classiest place in town for fine dining and atmosphere.So when my daughter’s boyfriend reached out for help with proposing to my daughter on Valentines Day, I immediately knew this would be the perfect location to pop the big question! It was semi last minute planning so I contacted the restaurant to see if they could squeeze them in for Valentine’s Day dinner and the proposal! Heather, the owner got back with me immediately and helped me plan out every detail. She offered to have them come in an hour before the restaurant opened so they could be alone in their very special moment! We also had flowers delivered to the restaurant beforehand and Heather once again, stepped up to make sure they were delivered on time and brought out to my daughter at just the right time.?Even though I couldn’t be there, Heather kept me in the loop in real time which meant the world to me! She sent me pictures and even helped my (very nervous) future son in law, pull off the big surprise! My daughter called afterwards to tell me she was of course engaged and how beautifully everything had gone! (Mission accomplished!) She also couldn’t believe how accommodating and kind Heather had been to them. Sadly, this kind of service and people are becoming harder to come by so I share with others when I find wonderful people and services. Their meal + service were excellent! 10 out of 10 across the board! Thank you Heather and the 6th & Main staff for helping us pull off a very special event for our daughter and son in law to be.”

“This was our first time. We have had a lot of recommendations to come here but just took the drive out. We had spent the day hiking so we worked up an appetite and wanted to try several different things. We got the fried mushrooms and loaded french fries as appetizers and they were both excellent. I had the Big Jack Fried Platter and it was very good, although I would've liked more oysters. My wife and oldest daughter had grilled chicken and said it was very good. Both of them had huge pieces of chicken. My youngest daughter had a grilled chicken salad and she loved it as well. They also enjoyed their sides of homemade chips and the ranch dressing was great. Our server was very kind and kept us happy. The atmosphere is decent, it definitely feels like a hometown kind of place. We loved the booths we sat at because they reminded us of 50's themed tables and seats. Our waitress even recommended a popular dish for when we come back, so we will definitely have to come back and try the steam pot. Oh yeah I almost forgot, they bring out hush puppies with butter and they were some of the best I've ever had.Parking: Not many parking places and the parking spots are right next to the road so you have to be careful backing out.”

“First time eating here, took my wife out for her birthday/Valentines dinner. Food did not disappoint and service was outstanding. Will definitely spread the word.”

“Wanted to try this place, I have never found a place that sells decent chicken wings locally. We tried the medium pizza with 6 mild wings and were happy. Next time I will try a hot wings , up the heat a bit. Overall, a nice little place, good waitresses, priced right.”

“HIGHLY recommend.First visit was spectacular! I've never had pupusas until today, but they were delicious, as were the empanadas de pollo! Their fresh made pineapple juice was also delicious - only hate I didn't found out about the place sooner! Is now officially in my rotation of regular lunch locations.”

“Delicious. Server was very kind. Our food came right out after we ordered. Recommend the French toast, eggs and gravy biscuit...I did not eat all of that by myself, but tasted it all and it was very tasty. Thank you for the wonderful experience. I would come here again.”

“We came in to see Easy Money perform. We had bacon cheese fries, loaded nachos, house salad, and Buffalo chicken pizza with sweet tea, liquid marijuana, hippie juice, and Dos Equis amber in a bottle. Service was quick and friendly. Table was dirty when we got there, but they happily wiped it down and apologized. Out of our two menus the prices was different in each one and different still on the ticket. The pizza showed 10.99 in the menu and was 13.46 on the ticket. So just know the prices may not be whatever they say. None of our items were the price the menu showed. They were out of several things, but we ended up pleased with what we got. Definitely an enjoyable Saturday night.”

“Wow, wow and more wow! I came to visit Piccione in 2020 when they were in their earlier years, and this time, I was blown away by their new tasting room! It was so lovely with the amazing views! The wines were phenomenal as well (and this is the thing that brought me back a second time!). I was with a group from a South Carolina Winery, and the owners/vineyard managers (Dustin and Eric) actually came up and spoke with us on several topics for a while. It was so enlightening and so nice of them to take time out of their days to spend educating us! They even showed up some of their new facilities, such as event rooms, library, kitchen, etc. I will definitely be back to this outstanding winery!”

“Love the delicious wood fired pizzas and the fact that pets are allowed outside on the grounds and the covered patio. We look forward to visiting Elkin Creek again!”

“This place was busy, really starting to get busy @ lunch. Only 2 people there and they were on it. The guy that made mine, Matt, was very good. As you can see it's a messy sandwich. Chicken bacon ranch footlong pro on Italian herb and cheese bread, toasted. It's basically a grilled chicken salad kn a sandwich. It's a big sandwich It's always messy, but dang it, it'd good and most of the time I get 2 meals out of it, so it's worth the extra $3 to make it a pro. But here's what impressed me. They were busy like I said before, but Matt took time to cut the cucumbers... I was shocked. I've got this same sandwich 10 times from 4 different Subways now, and this was the 1st time somebody did that. It matters because he was trying to make it easier to eat, instead of just throwing it together and rush rush rush. I didn't get the woman's name thst was there with him today too, but both of them were really on top of things. This is by far the best experience I've had @ a subway in a while, maybe ever. So if you're in the area and you want to get a big ol' sandwich that weighs about 5lbs and feeds you for two meals, stop in and get you one.”
