Where the table is always set.
Fast Food & Breweries
Southern Staples
The Trailer Drive-In
A 50's style cruise-in diner with enormous homemade cathead biscuits any way you want them. Walk-up or drive-thru with limited outdoor seating. Open Monday through Saturday, closed Sundays.
Black Sheep Restaurant
New Southern Comfort food served in a historic residence once visited by Margaret Mitchell. A Blue Ridge institution that pairs heritage ambiance with creative Southern plates.
Pete's Place
Traditional southern style family restaurant and a local favorite for home-cooked meals. The kind of place where regulars know the menu by heart and the portions never disappoint.
Breakfast & Lunch
Bumblebee's Cafe
Breakfast and lunch cafe serving American country cuisine from 7am to 2pm daily. The kind of morning ritual that makes a mountain trip feel complete, with fresh-cooked plates and strong coffee.
Iron Bridge Cafe & Store
Eat breakfast and lunch at the river hangout on Aska Road. A relaxed stop where the food is honest, the river is right outside, and the morning light through the trees is worth the drive.
Worth the Scenic Drive
Cider House Cafe
Great country cooking in a beautiful rural setting just outside McCaysville. A staple for home-style meals with big portions and the kind of warmth you only find off the beaten path.
The Pink Pig
Pit-cooked barbeque with Bud's special sauce in a log cabin restaurant in Cherry Log. Known far and wide for slow-smoked ribs and a mountain setting that turns lunch into an event.
Southern Charm Restaurant
A taste of the Deep South with generous helpings and the best Southern hospitality around. Everything on the menu is finger lickin' good, and the prices keep locals coming back weekly.
