Restaurants near Vonore

“We popped in for lunch on our way to the Lost Sea on a road trip, and honestly it was maybe the best meal we had on our whole 8 day vacation. I got the catfish small plate (comes with fries and hush puppies), my wife got a shrimp po boy with fried okra, our son got the brisket cheese with onion rings.
Let's start with the catfish - super clean, flaky, fresh. The batter wasn't too heavy and didn't overwhelm the fish. I've only had catfish a few times but this was certainly my favorite.
The shrimp had excellent, light breading and was perfectly cooked. The fried okra - well, I find okra just OKAY usually, but I was obsessed with this fried okra. Addictive and delicious.
The star, though, was the brisket grilled cheese, which seemed to have 100 pounds of perfectly cooked, tender meat on there. A feast that we all shared and still had some to take home.
Despite all the fried stuff, we didn't feel like crap after and were ready to hike in the caverns. I don't know what they use for batter but it's out of this world.
Our server was super friendly and handled my wife's allergy well. I could tell it's a real local's place and I'm jealous of the people who get to come here often. The price points are straight out of 2010 - I didn't see a check that low through the rest of our vacation.
If we're ever back in the area, this is our first stop for sure.”

“Great food. The loaded baked potato is a favorite.”

“This is my first time here. I was by myself so the service was a little slow coming over to a single lady at first. Food was good and the server ended up being really nice and attentive in the end. Will definitely be back.”

“We went Saturday 1/16/26 at 530pm and the place was packed! Rene was the only server there! Even though it took a very long time to get our pizza she was friendly and kept our drinks full while we waited and also gave us chips while we waited. I felt so bad for her but she handed it like a champ! Thanks Rene!”

“Great pizza and salad. Fresh ingredients. Local friendly atmosphere. We drive 25 minutes to eat there on Saturdays for the Family Special. They also have Family Specials on Wednesday.”

“Always makes my drinks right and are quick to suggest something new if they think it might be for me. But they know me there lol I might drink too much coffee

“I love Hardee's, their food is always very good and affordable, I ate at their sister company Carl's Jr in Texas at truckstops occasionally, now I eat at Hardee's all the time.”

“Subway sends out coupons religiously, a good thing! However Vonore doesn't honor but 1 of them, a bad thing. I understood it last year when prices were crazy. I am NOT understanding it now. In fact I won't go back until I know it's different. Get with the program Vonore Subway - honor my coupons.”

“I came through the drive thru around 3:30 yesterday. The young lady taking my order was so cheerful! When I got to the window to pay she had a beautiful smile and her tone was great. I pull up to the second window and the employee was pleasant as well. Received my food and it was fresh. The fries were amazing (hot and just the right amount of salt) and the spicy crispy chicken sandwich was perfect. The breading was like it had been fried in an iron skillet. The drive thru moved quicker than I expected too. To the young lady taking my order... thank you for a great attitude. Lisa”

“Our group of 7 people stayed at Dragon City June 13th-15th and let me tell you, we were impressed with this gem of a biker resort!!! The hotel rooms were very comfortable, clean, and the decor was perfect!!! We arrived as the restaurant was closing but they greeted us and said they would keep it open so we could enjoy dinner after a long day of traveling through on and off rain. The food was delicious, especially the Philly steak sandwich! We originally heard about this place from Adam Sandoval on Motorcycle Destinations. He was absolutely right about this being a great place to stay! We will most definitely stay here again when we return to ride the Tail of the Dragon and all of the other great roads in the area! I highly recommend Dragon City with 5 out of 5 stars!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
