“Joshua gave us great service today. The trout was the best I ever eat and the prime rib was great. Never had Fried Devil Eggs before and they were good. Without a doubt we will go back.“

Honestly one of the best restaurant experiences we have ever had. The entire staff we interacted with was very inviting, and super nice. We have been there before and will definitely return.“

You are doing wonderful work in the community and I am so grateful there are folks like you in this world!!!“

“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.“

“Great food and service. Appetizers are a must!“

“I was looking for a great cheeseburger 🍔 and Cardinal Food & Spirits didn't disappoint. Fresh & Delicious. I asked if they could make my burger with pickles and special sauce and they were accommodating. I highly recommend them if you're ever in Boone, NC.“

“Great food and staff highly recommended“

“These are the best cookies I’ve ever had in my life. I love all of the flavor options and how easy it is to order online and be ready once you are there. I’m not sure why people would expect to have fresh cookies and not have to wait on them. The new location now has some very good coffee flavors as well.“

“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.“

“the best BBQ in the area.“

“I have always loved Melanie’s. When I was in college it was a special treat. Since moving away after college, it’s a restaurant I try to make sure to visit when we are in town as often as I can. My daughter has multiple food allergies and so eating out can be tricky. Breakfast places can be especially challenging for her. I emailed Melanie’s this week because we were going to be in town for breakfast Saturday and I REALLY wanted to share my favorite breakfast place with her. I got a very fast response, that was clearly knowledgeable about food allergies and helped us with our decision. She got to have Melanie’s for the first time this weekend, it was safe and it was magical for the whole family. They did a beautiful job. My heart and tummy are full.“

“they should serve alcohol“

“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“

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

“If you are around Sugar Mountain or Beach Mountain Ski Resorts area and feeling like having Chinese, definitely a great place for the taste and cost. You may have to look beyond the usual warm and fuzzy server/hostess/waiter approach to enjoy the amazing food.“

“I would just like to say that the owner of this restaurant is a true class act and a real gem of a person. 4 days after hurricane Helene hit, I still hadn't been able to get in touch with my family, as it had wiped out cell service far and wide. One night I was out driving around, and after 30 miles, I found this restaurant and was able to hook up to their Wi-Fi. During this process, the owner rolled up, probably wondering what I was doing sitting in his parking lot in the dark in the middle of the night. When he inquired as to what I was doing, I told him that I was trying to find a way to get in touch with my family. Not only did he tell me to take all the time that I needed, he also asked me if I needed anything that he could get for me out of the restaurant, such as food, supplies, water, ice. When I told him that I did indeed need ice (as my power had been out for 4 days at this point), he went inside and brought me three bags of ice, shook my hand and wished me the best. He even told me to come back the next day and he would feed me. Thanks to his kindness, I was able to get in contact with my frantic family and let them know that I was indeed okay. In all of the chaos and horror of hurricane helene, this was one bright spot. Thank you very much, sir. You'll never know what it meant to myself and my 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“

“Every visit is a great experience. Great food, great service and wonderful friendly staff.“

“Wonderful service. Amazing salsa. Fantastic food. The staff were all so welcoming and pleasant. We were very impressed and will definitely make it a regular on our trips to Sugar.“
