Parking is at the back of plaza. There three restaurants own by same person including this restaurant. Their menu is attractive. We also find out their Thursday night special. They have the prime rib special a deal. The cost is a steal. The prime rib is roasted with a thick cut. It come with sautéed veggies and mash potatoes. The meat is tender and juicy. Very good piece of steak. I like the rolls with great butter. The last local ale taste very good. This restaurant is actually located at busy Banner Elks. The service is good. The close out with payments is a bit slow. Otherwise they are good. Love to visit them if I vacation here again.

The food was excellent, fried pickled okra was very good, not too sour but perfectly breaded. I had the salad Evangeline and it was just right, a little cajun sampler of crawfish blackened shrimp and fried green tomato's, all sitting atop their house salad. Only complaint was my daughter's green beans were complete mush, as you can see in the picture. Would like to come back for lunch when it's warmer outside, they have a nice looking patio.

I went to Frazier's expecting a casual dining experience, but was really surprised by how "casual"…read moreit is. You order your food at a counter and the food is brought to your table. OK so far. The menus is limited - a variety of tacos and burgers, grilled or fried chicken, and two salads. The food is delivered on plastic trays. The eating utensils are plastic. The napkins are the small, thin paper kind in a dispenser on the table. Wine is served in small plastic cups. The cup is filled to about half. You will pay a lot for this experience. I paid $17 for two medium- size tacos, $7.00 for a half-cup of wine, $15.00 for a mixed drink. The tacos weren't bad but were cold. I had a side of very good guacamole and chips. Two cups of the wine would equal a single glass in most restaurants. So you're paying $14 for a glass of inexpensive wine that should cost about $8 or $9. I was so surprised by the fast-food experience that it has colored my opinion of the food. Most people think it's good. I think it's OK but overpriced. Service was spotty and slow.

But I wiggled my vehicle into a tight spot and went in for a burger and a beer. I believe there were about 10 to 12 options available on tap, and I went with what was listed as an Irish stout from somewhere in the Northeast. It wasn't bad, though it seemed more like an imperial stout. My sandwich choice was the Cowboy, with ground elk at its core. It was a good choice too, and the accompanying fried onions and melted cheese complemented the meat well. I ordered the burger medium, but I think I'd go for medium rare if I could go back in time. The medium option wasn't bad, but I think a little less heat and a little more moisture would only make things better. I kept things simple with the side item, going for the fries which were of the thinly sliced McDonald's variety, not bad but nothing remarkable. The server covering my table was pleasant and prompt, though soft spoken so I occasionally had to ask her to repeat herself amidst the music and noise. I wouldn't call any of these selections a bargain, but the prices didn't veer too far from what you'll find in many burger joints. All in all, not an earthshaking experience, but a place I'd be willing to go back to. 3.5 stars.
