Through the years the restaurant has struggled to get good help yet has been reasonably good ;sometimes better than others . Located at the Mt Mitchell golf course it has decent views of the terrain. A check ahead can help save frustration from being unopened and what they are serving. Wound up with a lackluster buffet of pizza and wings as a full dinner offering once that didn't live up to Club standards by far. Most recently I hear that it's worth another look..... read more

Freshly cooked burgers, mouth-watering wings, and ice-cold draft beers - this spot is a true gem! Perfect for a delicious lunch with a view. Loved seating on the porch watching people play golf. Highly recommend! read more

Even though the staff was friendly for the most part, service was super slow. We had to remind them several times and waited an excessive amount of time each time. I got a salad and it was really tasty, but my friends got food that was played wrong (had to wait some more) or came out cold. When the bill came, my friend still had stuff on the bill that was inaccurate or that should have been comped. We will not be returning. It was a bummer because it overlooks the golf course and it is surrounded by beautiful scenery. read more

My husband & I were here on 9/20/23 for dinner. The food was fine but I really wanted to compliment our waitress, Kaitlyn. She was AWESOME and is fairly new. She did an excellent job. This was the best wait person we've had here in a long time. read more

This place was awesome. We got to sit on the patio with our pup and enjoy great food with wonderful service from Jess. I had the pad Thai with wild caught salmon. Yum! My guy had the mountain trout and it was prepared perfectly. We loved it so much, we are coming back again tomorrow. read more

I recently visited the area for a golf retreat with 2 of my best friends and my 21 year old son. He's in college and I wanted to make his 21'st birthday memorable. We rented an Airbnb cabin for a weekend male bonding and golf. After 18 holes of golf on the finest golf course I've personally ever played on, our foursome was famished. We elected to stay on property and eat since we had drank beers while golfing and the mountain roads were dangerous enough for a completely sober driver. The dining room wasn't open yet so we had about 15 minutes to kill, so we had a round of drinks in the bar. We were pleased to be greeted by a charming bartender that had a great sense of humor and really seemed to enjoy our company. Within a few short minutes we were seated by our hostess on the deck. Our waitress Sarah was very courteous and welcoming. She was quick bring us some fresh bread to munch on and recommended the prime rib, which we all were smart to take her advice. I had the prime rib with baked potato and zucchini. It was truly the best prime rib I had ever had. Cooked to perfection, you could literally cut it with your fork. I was drinking water, since I was driving. My mates were enjoying beers and cocktails. I usually skip desert, but we were having such a good time, I ordered one of everything. Sarah brought us key lime pie, blackberry cobbler with vanilla bean ice cream, berry patch pie with vanilla bean ice cream, and chocolate cake. By far the key lime pie was my favorite, but all were outstanding. It's worth mentioning, each time Sarah would come and check on us, we would have the most wonderful conversation. We were interested to learn that besides being a phenomenal waitress, she also was a school teacher and an uber driver. Apparently she had lived in the area all her life and could name all the visible mountain peaks and point them out to us. Then Sarah did something that surprised me. She told us that a sweet woman in the dining room was here celebrating her 78th birthday and that she wanted us to join her singing Happy Birthday. This is not something I would normally do. My buddies were feeling no fear from the liquid courage they'd been drinking, so I wasn't about to chicken out. So we got up as a group, walked into the dining room with Sarah, and came right up to her table and sang. Beautifully I might add. We were all happy to sing for her and it absolutely made her day. She was so sweet and thanked us all. My son went over and gave her a hug. We stayed for a couple more rounds of drinks so that we could watch the sun go down over the mountains. I'm so glad we ended up staying there for dinner rather than driving into Burnsville. We take some kind of men's trip every year and when we go out, we always try to find the best restaurants to provide us with the best memories possible. This tops them all and Sarah was a huge part of it. I'm sorry if I've rambled on and haven't really said all that much about the food, but this experience was so much more than fine dining. read more

We had an excellent meal at Hawtree's, one of the best ever, and I'm not exaggerating. Chef Stewart recently moved there from Grassy Creek in Spruce Pine, and almost every guest in the dining room had made the 30-minute trip over to enjoy his food (we asked). We made the easy 25-minute drive down the Blue Ridge Parkway from Little Switzerland upon the recommendation of our innkeeper. They have a great selection of wines and beers, but we didn't indulge. My wife had the chicken picatta, and it was perfect and fork-cuttable. She raved about the rice pilaf. I had the mixed grill (baby filet, chicken breast, and two grilled crabcakes) and again, perfect and delicious. Outstanding mango chutney with just the right spice came with the crabcakes. Dessert: key lime pie and patch pie (raspberry, apple, strawberry, and rhubarb) a la mode. We are still debating which was better, so you should try both, for sure. The prices are probably too low considering the quality of the food and its preparation. And as you might guess, friendly and attentive staff with excellent service. Discount the pre-2018 reviews: there's a new chef in town. If you are staying at Mount Mitchell or nearby, you definitely should visit Hawtree's. It is worth the drive from wherever you may be, even Asheville or Black Mountain. NOTE: formerly called Mt Mitchell Golf Club Restaurant or Teo's. This is a new chef and new restaurant in the same location. Trip Advisor has additional reviews. read more
