22 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Scaly Mountain

“What do you do when the hurricane turns right, instead of left on your wedding weekend? Answer: you have the wedding of your dreams if you are at the Vineyard at High Holly. Paulina and Joel worked 18 months on their dream September 28, 2024 wedding. Forecasters expected Hurricane Helene to make landfall and turn west so guests arrived early to avoid travel delays. Then Helene turned east and sat over western North Carolina. The road to Highlands washed out, many trees fell, and there was no power, water, cell service, internet or WIFI at High Holly. The rental vendor cancelled, and we had no idea if the cake, DJ, or photographers would appear. Fortunately, the wedding planner had arrived, but her assistants were stranded in Asheville along with the hair and makeup people. Lesley went into full problem-solving mode and found a way to overcome all obstacles including to provide everything expected from the rental company. Eric went through 8 chain saws clearing downed trees. Michelle strapped on a headlamp and started cooking in the dark. Everyone dug in and made sure that the wedding was everything that the bride and groom dreamt of. I cannot imagine a more dedicated, hard-working and compassionate group! And the wedding…the most magical, fun and beautiful wedding I’ve ever been to! Weddings take much planning, hard work and come with great heartfelt expectations. Many times, hiccups arise. When choosing the wedding venue, anticipate how the venue will handle the surprises. The Vineyard at High Holly proved that they didn’t let a devastating hurricane come in the way of fulfilling Paulina and Joel’s dream wedding. We are forever grateful to Lesley, Eric, Michelle and the High Holly family!! (Apologies that it took me a year to write this). Kay“

“Delicious! We have eaten at HUSH Clarkesville many times and we highly recommend!“

“Made a pit stop on the way home to the lowcountry. Hands down one of the best cafes we have stopped into. The food was delicious and just the country fixins we needed and great hospitality. Thank you!“

“I traveled from Blairsville, Ga to obtain my favorite Yogurt "Coconut Culture" as it 'works' for my issues. I was delighted not to travel to Chattanooga or elsewhere to obtain it. I saved $20 per pint off of online ordering. Thank you! See you soon!“

Husband and wife team- (wife is my favorite!) When you are in Clayton, please check out this diner.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I would highly recommend the Highlands wine shop! This was my first visit to the Highlands Wine Shoppe in The Highlands NC. The store is located in a charming White House off Main Street. The owners and staff were super friendly and informative the minute we walked in the door. There are many places to sit comfortably and try the wines. Quite a few people were sitting outside when we walked up. That have a cozy fire pit and some heaters for cooler weather. Inside the store is warm and inviting. There is a comfortable room to the right with a couch and fireplace. Then there are other tables throughout the store. There is a wine pouring system that you purchase a card from the front desk and then you can insert it to try the different wines available. If you don’t use the full amount on your card they will store it for you under your name for a future visit. My husband had that done for me. It makes a great gift! There are different size pours available. You can do a small taste or a enjoy a full glass. They had a very nice selection available. The owners and staff members were very helpful in explaining the different wine’s to taste. The shop is run by two fun female Sommelier’s. It was amazing to me to watch them in action. They really know their stuff! They can describe each wine just perfectly. We had such a good time! My husband and I chose to sit in the main room where we met lots of fun people who were visiting the store. Some of them had their dogs with them too. I love that it was dog friendly! The wine selection goes all the way from budget friendly up to a premier selection in a private room. We bought four bottles on our visit. Two of them were from ones that we had tasted and discovered and the other two were some of our personal favorites. We hope to be back first a visit soon! Cheers! ???“

“We just ate here today December 7 Sunday afternoon. Wait staff were all amazing and polite. Food was amazing, flavorful, tender meats and cooked wonderful. The chips were perfect and no one missed up our order despite some of our party being allergic to certain things. Highly recommend this Mexican Restaurant“

“Travelers from Oklahoma to Notth Carolina, we love this sweet restaurant. The food was outstanding…Susan’s Reuben as good as we had heard. They have an extensive really good menu. Be sure and say hello to new owners Juan and his wife. ❤️“

“My husband and I stopped in on Friday night and sat at the bar, as we prefer to do. We were promptly served by Nick, and he was fantastic! We had a few small plates and they were all fantastic! We finished with the deconstructed bread pudding. Not something we normally eat, but it was ridiculously tasty!! If we were local we’d be there on a regular basis. It will definitely be a must the next time we are in town!“

“Wow wow wow! What can I say! I have never experienced such amazing customer service! My boyfriend and I came here for Valentine’s Day and were met with such friendliness from the workers, their friends, and the owner. Not only were the people amazing but the wine selection was unique and the outside seating area was extremely gorgeous. The owner told us he would be closing operations in April, so if you ever have the opportunity to visit, I HIGHLY encourage it!“

“great atmosphere, good food, good staff. I will be back.“

“we took eight of our friends from The over the hill hiking group to eat there on July 24. We ate on the back deck which was very pleasant and undercover. The brisket was great all the sides were great. Everybody was happy with their food. It was even better than I remember from my previous visit. Wright before close we even got to see a bear. Try to get into the dumpster, which was quite entertaining.. we will be back.“

“Great craft beers!! We sampled a few of them, all were great! And dang good tunes too“

“My wife and I ate at the Cupboard cafe today. The food was excellent and the service was great. Our server was Daisy and she was very knowledgeable, prompt and courteous. It was a great experience.“

“Had a very enjoyable stay at the Highlander Mountain House. It is very well decorated and quite cozy. The bed was very comfortable with fresh linens. A place I will definitely return to in the future.“

“Went for a smash burger and onion rings. Good was very good. My server was inattentive and pushy. Halfway through eating (alone) she came to the table with her credit card machine and said ‘are you ready to settle up?.’ Burger in my hand. I looked at and said, not yet, thanks. She rolled her eyes and walked away. I had to ask another server if I could order a cider. She nodded and in 2 min was back with it. I finished my meal and waited 13 minutes for my waitress to return. I finally stopped another server and asked if he wouldn’t mind getting my server as I was ready to check out. She came back after 6 minutes with her machine and put it in front of me. I popped my card on it. ‘Would you like to include a tip?’

I’ll leave it in cash. She departs and I reached into my pocket and placed $1,56 on the table.
Then found the guy who brought my food and Cider and gave him $5. Found the other server who found my waitress and gave him $5.

Greeter ‘How was your meal!’ Very good!
‘How was your service?’ Well the two who brought my food and cider, and had to find my waitress to settle up, I tipped personally. The inattentive server assigned to my table I left $1 and change. About that time, my server walked up and said with her hand out holding her tip ‘I believe you left this.’ No, that’s for your service. ‘Really?!?’ She said. I looked at the greeter and said ‘see?’ I thfn walked out.“

“It’s a good time for 100$ just have to settle for slow mediocre service the food is good staff is questionable.“

“This place is so amazing very cute farm and beautiful Scenery. And above all the food is truly out of this world delicious we came 2 nights in a row, If you are in the area try it out and ask for Vanessa and Nicole best service ever. They truly made it more wonderful with their sweet personality and charm. GREAT WORK LADYS. We even meet the owner he came by our table and made sure we are happy. Very Hospitable...“

“High end resturant, service was good. First time fist impressions a good resturant over all, prices on high side and we notice on the menu if sharing charge extra $4. Atmosphere very good & outside seating for pets if you have them.
See if next time food & service will improve. Could of been what we ordered since was lunch. As much was over cooked and servers where very matter if fact when serving and taking order. But again first time dinning at this resturant. We just expected more from a high end resturant. Thank you, Travers“

“The pizza is so good. The service was awesome.“

“We absolutely love the Dillard house stables! My toddler is obsessed with the petty area and horses, we spend hours and hours just hanging out. The staff is the absolute best! We’ve done several parent led horse rides for my 3 year old and each time is quick, safe, and so fun. I can’t recommend them enough!“
