Things to do in Nebo
1. Bruce's Fabulous Foods

Reviewed By Elise B - Homer, Alaska, United States
We totally lucked into this place in the road between Asheville and Greensboro. Don't know how to describe the friendly welcome, delicious food, and incredible value. Everything homemade except the potato chips and tortilla chips. Nothing fried!
So worth leaving the highway for. And trust me: not the place to skip dessert (which is included in the under $10 prices).
2. Jack Frost Dairy Bar
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 80 reviews
Home-made ice cream made a unique way with the ingredients hand-stirred in. A third-generation business started in 1954. Soft and scooped ice cream with over 40 flavors as well as milk shakes, sundaes, banana splits, parfaits, hot fudge cakes, hot fudge brownies and more! Ice cream but also sugar-free ice cream, frozen yogurt, and sorbet. Open spring and summer and part of fall; closed during winter months.

Jack Frost is the place to stop for delicious (& reasonably priced) ice cream in Marion. Convenient location on Sugar Hill Rd, close to I-40. Family owned since 1954. Open Wed - Sat 12:30 - 8:30pm. Only negative thing is they are closed late Fall through Winter---don't they know ice cream tastes good all year???
3. Roma Restaurant Pizza Pasta

We each had cheese stuffed manicotti, which came with bread and a surprisingly good garden salad. Wife, being of partially Italian background, is often disappointed in the red sauces, which she sometimes finds under-seasoned with herbs and spices; but this one was flavorful. Only two pasta shells, but of good size and well-stuffed. We were both satisfied.
4. Crooked Door Coffee House

Reviewed By satorigal - Marion, North Carolina
This is a family favorite. It has an art gallery adjoining it and sometimes they offer live music in that area. The staff is extremely friendly. The pastries and coffee are great. It is located at the top of steep stairs (with a railing) so is not handicapped accessible. There is a small lounge area and tables and chairs adjacent to the coffee bar.
5. Mr Bob's Donuts

Reviewed By YaleDad - New York City
No matter where we went in this region, people said "Have you been to Mr Bob's yet?"
Finally, we went, and had no regrets! The dots are great, perfectly fresh, and wonderful flavors. But you absolutely MUST try the:
-Apple Ugly (we shared this among four of us)
-Cinnamon Bun- just delicious
-Pretzel Donut- perfect combination of salt & sweet!
World class, absolutely! if you really care, voted
"Best In the Nation" by Food Network- but I suggest you trust your mouth and stomach, which will tell to come back early and often.

Best food around! Great buffet! The chicken strips are to die for! Macaroni and cheese, yummmmm, great BBQ. All in all everything I ate was excellent!
7. Holly's Deli & Desserts

Reviewed By bwodom - South Carolina
Holly's has a fairly diverse menu focusing on sandwiches and salads. And the desserts may be the biggest hit of the meal. However, the woman at the counter could have been a little more customer oriented.
This is an order-at-the-counter place where you seat yourself after ordering and then return to the counter when your name is called. There are no beverage dispensers near the seating area, so drink refills are only by carrying your glass back to the counter and making a request of the cashier. Since we had a group of 6 and everyone had tea, it would have made sense to have a refill pitcher on the table.
We had to put two tables together for our group since we preferred to sit at a regular height table. The only table that will seat more than four is a long trestle table down the center of the room (seats maybe 12 or so) with bar-height stools which are not comfortable for some older patrons.
Aside from the non-food issues, we had a nice meal. Portions were reasonable as were prices. Variety was good and everyone in our group seemed happy with their selection.
Definitely worth visiting...and be sure to leave room for dessert. We were full from the meal, but we took a piece of coconut cake home with us. Delish!

I found Drew's Diner by mistake when we pulled off I-40 between Morganton and Marion NC. I wanted to check my phone for restaurants nearby. But, there was Drew's right there. I called to see if they had hamburgers with fresh meat (not frozen) and they did! So we drove on up to it. The service was great, the place was so clean and the hamburgers were delicious. Plus, home made French fries! We will be back there when we travel that way again.
9. Jalapeno Fresh Grill

Reviewed By VetteGirl2015 - Atlanta, Georgia
Our Corvette club recently spent time in Marion to drive Diamondback. The 14 of us descended upon Jalapeno expecting your run-of-the-mill Mexican food. That is NOT what we experienced. The food was exceptional and the owner was engaging and funny. Awesome salsa bar. Great experience! We will be back.

This little place has been here for a long time. The food and service is just outstanding. It's country and it's great. Every chance I get to go here for lunch I do. Been told they also have an excellent breakfast. The wait staff as friendly as any place you will ever find....
