It's two buildings with a drive in cover for to go and building with ac for dining in. There's also two different outside areas, one enclosed and one completely outdoors. You have a little view off the mountain with windows that let the breeze in. I was extremely surprised because the food was great. I had my doubts when I went with the first restaurant that came up in my search. I got the turkey club and tater tots. Both were fresh and hot when they came out. My daughter got wings and they were cooked perfect. A plus was they make their own ranch. The waitress was attentive even though she was working multiple tables. I'm glad we found this place and would be back if ever in the area.

We will be back every time we are in town. In fact, we might plan special mountain trips just to go to Snap Dragon. For food, everything we had was yummy and plentiful. We had a burger, fries, a salad, and cannon balls - all delicious. The fried pickles are the best we have ever had, anywhere! The cocktail selection is great! Try the hurricanes - don't evacuate! These are not super sweet and there are many options. Category 2 and Category 3 are are favorites. We also enjoyed the Fire Tower and Painkiller. To top it off, the setting on the Burnsville square is quaint and Snap Dragon has indoor and outdoor seating amid lovely plants. They have beer and cider on tap, too. The service is outstanding as well. Go to Snap Dragon and enjoy!

The lunch rush was wrapping up as I pulled into the parking lot. Main tables were still full but were clearing out. When I walked in, I wasn't totally sure if it was an order at the counter or seat yourself type place. For those reading this after, you can just seat yourself and a server will bring a menu by. The locals that came after me got a much warmer welcome than I did, but it was great to see that this community is tight-knit. I ordered a hot dog with chili, mustard, and slaw and a bacon cheeseburger. Everything came out pretty quickly. The hot dog had a nice chewy bun but the chili had a flavor to it that I didn't love. Maybe a spice, cinnamon? I not sure but it wasn't my favorite. The burger on the other hand was really good. I think it's simplicity is what makes it delicious plus a really nice serving of bacon. :) I got a slice of peanut butter cake to go. You know when you see 7 tupperware cake carriers on top of a counter that the desserts are going to be homemade and delicious. and it was! All in all, a nice stop. Thanks Lil Smoky's!

Located on one side of an older shopping center, the neon sign on the front of the restaurant is…read morepretty easy to find. The parking lot is smaller but there are still a lot of parking spots available. There are several spaces adjacent to building, including a handicapped space right next to the entrance. Other spaces are across a traffic lane. There is another handicapped in the corner of the lot not too far from the door but be aware the pavement in that area is broken and walking is difficult. There is also no sidewalk from this space to the door and the parking bumpers are in the way. If you do use this space, walk into the parking lot to get to the door. We were greeted as we walked in and taken to a booth. Seating is a mix of tables and booths, with a few seats along the counter as well. We were there a bit after the lunch rush so they were only about half full. Our server took our drink order right away and then gave us a bit of time to review the menu. She returned with our drinks and we placed our order. The food took about 10 minutes to be brought to the table. The Cowboy burger was a good sized patty cooked perfectly, seasoned well, and juicy. The bbq sauce was enough to taste but not so much it dripped as soon as you tried to take a bite. The bun was fresh and held up without breaking apart. The fries were cooked perfectly, seasoned well, and they did not skimp of the quantity. The Blue Ridge burger was outstanding. There were plenty of mushrooms and enough cheese to get some in every bite. The greens and tomato were fresh and added great flavor to the sandwich. The bun itself was very flavorful and certainly added to the overall burger experience. Fries also accompanied this burger and were just as good, being crispy on the outside and soft inside. Ca's is a great diner experience with wonderful service and great burgers. This is a must stop whenever in the area.

Garbage Plate is one of their two specials, and it lives up to its name. While not a doctor, I'm sure eating that over and over wouldn't be good for me long term but for a morning meal on a road trip home it sure does the trick. All in for two big breakfasts and sodas was $26, and today that's not insane given everything else going on in life. There's a lot on this menu, and I'd stop again for what looked like incredible burger plates. Next time, perhaps, as we enjoy the scenery of I-40
