Holy Smokes

Reviewed By Barbara P

WE stopped here on our way back to Beech Mtn. after a day on the Blue Ridge. We were a bit late but they said they would serve us. I had the baked potato stuffed with pulled pork and all the fixings . Their was only 1 person doing the cooking , the serving and watching the store. She was nice enough to make a new potato for me since it was late and the others were made during the day. The food was good but really not too much better than many other non-barbecue places . The meat was tasty abut a bit on the tough side. The sauces for the meat were excellent and plentiful. The view from the porch was fantastic and the lady doing all the jobs was friendly and helpful. I would go back and try it for lunch when everything was a bit fresher.

We stopped in at Famous Fast Eddie's on our way to tour the Land of Oz in June and had a great experience! We thoroughly enjoyed a delicious lunch (BBQ, hamburgers, hot dogs, fries and mac & cheese) and great service as well (Eddie's daughter was our server). The BBQ pork and mac & cheese were the best I've ever tasted! We later met Fast Eddie at the top of the ski lift on Beech Mountain and enjoyed talking with him as well (Eddie also sells hot dogs and sodas at the top of the mountain). Famous Fast Eddie's is a great little family owned restaurant/bar on Beech Mountain... be sure to stop in and enjoy the food and company!

Artisanal Restaurant

Reviewed By jakeman35

This was our best dinning experience in a while and definitely the best restaurant in the greater Banner Elk area. We started with salted beats and fresh greens salad appetizers. Plating was artistic and both dishes delivered explosion of flavors. We ended up ordered salmon and duck for entrees. Duck was unusually flavorful and crispy. Salmon had nice crisp on outside, yet was amazingly flaky and buttery. Food portions were moderate, enough to enjoy the food without belly aching. My wife had a nice glass of Pinot noir. The service was extremely professional, yet very friendly. Valet parking was a nice touch. This place is must experience for every “foody”. We will be back.

We celebrated my husbands birthday here last Friday and it was excellent. When we arrived for our dinner reservation we were informed our table wasn’t ready yet and we were ushered up the stairs to a very cosy bar where we had a drink. A little later our table was ready and boy was it worth the wait! We ordered all different starters and they were all excellent. Oysters, raw and fried just delicious. For our mains we ordered jambalaya, salads, fish and again every dish was delicious. The atmosphere was very calm and nice and the staff brought a nice local berry cake with a candle for my husband for dessert. I can highly recommend this restaurant.

Alpen Restaurant and Bar

Reviewed By TravelerForLifeNow

The only reason I'm not giving this a lower rating is because the server was sweet and attentive. We ordered a steak, chicken quesadilla, a cheese burger and steak sandwich. The steak, which was uneatable, was covered in a brown murky liquid that looked like dirty dish water. The quesadilla tasted horrible. The steak sandwich and cheese burger were fine but lacking in taste. We spent over hundred dollars which included only 1 glass of wine. I would NEVER eat here again. Complete rip off for subpar foood

I'll have to say that we enjoyed our dining here a lot. The atmosphere is nice and despite what we had read, the vast majority of people were dressed quite casually. It didn't feel like an upscale, up Market restaurant that we were out of class in. Our server, Heather, really made the meal exceptional. She was friendly, very professional, made recommendations when asked and make sure that the meal flowed perfectly. Each course from the James River oysters to the roasted beetroot and feta salad, to the prime rib was presented well, had great blendings of flavors, and the right proportion. We ended the meal with a sweet potato pie - a nightly special that was a creation of the chef. Really liked it as it was not overly sweet and not overly heavy, but the perfect ending to the meal.Thank you for your recent visit and your kind words.We look forward to serving you again in the near future.
