    cute little breakfast spot. it was graduation weekend so you would think they'd have more help but it was 1 waitress for the whole restaurant, so they were extremely busy.. the food was good. it's hard to mess up breakfast. 7 of us ate for 125$. average price for today's time. we will be back if we are ever in banner elk again.

    Staff was nice and friendly. Place was kind of small but most places are in a small town. Country fried steak was delicious. Coffee was lacking. Food was over all good and didn't take too long. Like that they served breakfast later than other places. Think it was 1

    Quiche

    We came here during our holiday weekend in Banner Elk. The staff was super friendly and the food was great. Super quick turn around time and accurate as you know how picky everyone is about their breakfast. I ordered the quiche which was to my surprise very fresh and warm. the cranberries were a nice refreshing to my usual morning breakfast. My wife had the biscuits and gravy which were her new favorite as the cheesy grits as her side made her morning. Over the weekend this little establishment always had a line out the door so be patient as they are short handed but this is definitely worth the wait.

    Great breakfast! Busy place but we were seated quickly and had fast service. Food tasted great!

    We decided to try out this place as they serve breakfast past the usual 11am cutoff. We did have to wait a bit as it was a pretty busy Sunday. Not much room inside so plan to hang on the front porch. I told the waitress we were parked out front and she came to our car when the table was ready. Menu has some good staples: pancakes, French toast, several omelettes, eggs, sausage, biscuits n gravy, burgers and several other hand-helds. We opted for an omelette and a Rueben and being nearly mid day decided to split the French toast. Everything was solid. The omelette was a hearty portion for sure. French toast was great and although the fries were crinkle cut and ho-hum, the sandwich was solid. Our server was happy to get refills despite this place being pretty busy. I thought the prices were fair and we enjoyed our cozy corner.

    Corn beef Hash Skillet. A little heavy on the hills daises but tasty.

    Good breakfast in the high country. Lots of options. A little pricey but too be expected in Banner Elk. Customizable options are nice. Coffee had great rich flavor. Service was friendly even while pretty busy. My son's pancakes and bacon were delicious since he couldn't finish them all I got a taste.

    There is a sign outside the door that at first turned me off. It tells you that you do not have to put your name on a list; you need to stand in a single file line and wait for a staff member to be called in and be seated. There were t o tables waiting to be seated before us and we only had to wait around 5 minutes. Not bad at all. As he was walking us in he was asking us if we wanted coffee (more points) which we both did. It took me a few minutes to figure out that the blue plastic cup on the table housed the creamers. Service and friendliness definitely an A*. Food tasted good but not very attractive. I had the quiche and my husband the three egg plate. My side of fruit was not fresh at all.

    I love this place! I am in town for a wedding and wanted to find a brunch spot neat places I can walk around before I get ready for the wedding. This apot is pretty popular as there was a bit of a wait. You do not put your name down, but you just wait in line until there is room for your group. While the wait was a bit long, it was totaply worth it for the meal! I got the Steak and Eggs and my fiancé and my friend both got the Hugry Rooster. There was so much food! And everything tasted great. My steak was cooked medium rare as I requested and had a good amount of tendons which I prefer (may not be everyone's cup of tea but it is mine). And the caramel cappuccino was delicious! If you have a swert tooth I hoghly recommend. I was jealous that my fiancé ans friend had waffles that come woth their already filled plate but thankfully they let me try their waffles and I also liked it a lot! Very fluffy, not overly crunchy. And the bathroom was super clean! Love it!!! Come here for a hearty breakfast that is great value!

    One of the more popular places in the area. A lot of folks will ski for the day and then end up…read morehere. It's a casual joint. It gets really full though. They have a lower level that has tables and its more family friendly down there. Also- you can see the huge cases of cakes down there. Wow! We went twice during our week there. Once for dinner and once for lunch. Everything I ate was good. I enjoyed my burger. The mussels were great. And the meatloaf- who doesn't love meatloaf? I asked for mg baked potato "naked" but it was so loud in there, he thought I said "bacon"! Too funny. So you will see my pic with a TON of bacon bits. Service is good. While you're waiting for a table you can line up at the corner of the bar and get drinks. Not much standing room and watch out for servers running through with entrees. Food comes out pretty fast. Servings are huge- a lot of people share. We got a bunch of apps and I had to take my food home! I was too full to finish it. Everything is reasonably priced. They have their own parking lot and then there's a bigger one just across the street.

    We were all so hungry and stopped for lunch…read more I had a Gyro and a side of cooked cabbage. It was surprisingly delicious for a non-Greek restaurant. My husband had Corned Beef and Cabbage, black eyed peas abd corn bread. The meal came out VERY quickly and we devoured it just as quickly. Our waitress was efficient and cheerful and made the already great meal, better.

    Went with a friend and we both thought our ice cream was just okay. I know it's in a touristy area…read morebut a bit overpriced for the portion size. It wasn't super busy when we came in but the two young ladies behind the counter were definitely eager to get us in and out. Not the warmest or most welcoming of customer service. They do have a nice selection of flavors to choose from though and they have a coffee menu as well. Love that's it's family owned. Be prepared for no seating available indoor or outdoor but it's a nice area that's walkable with other stuff to do.

    So maybe it was just an off day but customer service wasn't very warm or friendly. My mom and I…read morecame here today to grab some coffees and they were good. I got a cinnamon bun latte and my mom ordered a lavender coffee. Both were good. Wasn't super pricey, we got two cups that were medium sized for $12.00, not bad for a touristy area. The place was clean and decorated cute, the coffee was good and pretty affordable, but 3 stars because both staff members were not very friendly and almost seemed like we were bothering them by coming in. Again, hopefully it was just an off day, but customer service definitely goes a long way, especially for people visiting out of town. I do recommend stopping by here to try coffee, lots of variety in their menu with flavors, and all the different milk options you can think of. :)
