We stopped here after hiking in the area. We ordered steak tips, ribeye, chicken tender salad, and cheese fries. Everything was hot and delicious. The tips and steak were cooked perfectly. Server checked on us several times. Extremely nice and courteous. Reminded me of my youth when it was a treat to eat out at a sit down restaurant. We loved it and would definitely come back. Not sure how others had such bad experiences. Ours was perfect. read more

We stopped here for lunch after a hike and were very impressed! The food was so good and our server, Breleigh, was super sweet and accommodating! read more

Love it if you can get in. Ribeye and salmon are both fantastic. I would eat there more often except for wait list. read more

I eat the ribeye almost every single time I go. My mom loves the salmon and my aunt says the ribs are fall off the bone. The service is fantastic sometimes you got to wait but it's worth it trust me. Also the cheeseburger is good. read more

Awesome restaurant away from most anything. From the road the restaurant looks small, but inside has 3 large dining rooms. The one in the back had a huge fireplace. The hostess, Server, and food were all amazing. Not a single bad thing to say. I wish this was closer to Asheville. One hour drive from Asheville, but well worth it. Nothing in Asheville compares to this place. read more

See all

The BEST rolls. The BEST meal. The BEST service. The BEST value for the excellent quality. I can't say enough good things about this place. read more

What a great place! The service was attentive, the food was delicious, and the main dining room we ate in was very cute (all decked out for the holidays). My ribeye was one of the best I've ever had (and the huge baked potato was pretty tasty too). They're very generous with the butter (and try the honey butter that accompanies the dinner rolls - yum!). read more

We went there Saturday night 1-3-2026, ordered tips for hubby, and I ordered the same , but was brought out rib eye , which I told waitress it would be ok . the tips were so tough had to chew your self to death to eat them well my Rib eye was not eatable at all no amount of chewing could you eat that thing !!!!!!!! Worst meal we have ever had !! will never go back they need to get a better cook in the kitchen before they lose all their bussness read more

This place was a little hidden gem. Our steaks were perfectly seasoned and cooked and the bacon wrapped shrimp were so flavorful.

Nice place but avoid chili. No so good. Steaks are good. Order in that direction. They try hard. But need good protocol manners for a pricey Steak House. read more

Great restaurant among few choices in the area. Service was a little slow and scattered wait staff but probably just working out kinks. Dark interior but went with the rustic theme. Ribs and shrimp combo was great. Our party also liked the sirloin tips and grilled chicken and flounder. read more

Mountain Holler - Ribs with slaw and fries. - Seafood Near Me - Bakersville, North Carolina

Consistently good food and service. Great steaks and fish. Delicious desserts. It's worth the trip !

My favorite restaurant in Mitchell County!! The staff is always so friendly. The food is DELICIOUS!! The Bacon Ranch Fries are a must as an appetizer, they are so good! The chicken tenders are so yummy and they have some really good coleslaw. My favorite though is the ribs and shrimp, my mouth waters just thinking about them!! If you're in Mitchell County (Bakersville), you have got to stop here and taste and see for yourself! read more

Food was delicious. Service was awesome as our waitress was very careful to make sure we had choices and everything was taken care of quickly. Highly recommend you asking for Jenni as your server. read more

We are locals and absolutely LOVE the Mountain Holler. It is our go to spot for a great dinner at a very affordable price. It's a little out of the way but well worth the drive. Everything we have had from the Ribeye, Flounder, Filet to Chopped Steak have been excellent..... and the grilled shrimp is the best ever! Great salads with a good selection of other sides. Service has always been on the money. Nothing fancy but atmosphere is nice with a country mountain theme. Since restaurants in the area are limited unless you hit the more touristy locations and then pay inflated prices, this is truly a diamond in the rough. We are blessed. read more

We waited a bit to be seated but it was worth the wait. My rib eye was very good - simple but damn tasty. The baked potato was as expected, nothing more. The salad's main virtue was the generous application of bacon bits and egg. My wife had the black eyed pea and ham soup which she said reminded her of something from childhood. Her flounder was good, although it needed tartar sauce for a little more flavor. We finished with the peach cobbler which could have used more complexity in flavor and texture but was otherwise satisfying. I would have enjoyed a beer with my dinner but I'll have to file a complaint with the county over that one. read more

gave my little and all of my friends and their parents food poisoning and their steaks were never cooked properly and my dad found an entire chunk of raw cold meat in the middle of his steak. Do not eat here it will give you food poisoning. read more

This was a fun stop. We ordered take-out - as a lot of other folks were doing, too. We were greeted by what seemed to be a group of friends playing acoustic music on the front porch. It was a quaint setting and the food was good. If we are back in the area, we would visit again. read more

Tonight was the first time I had tried Mountain Holler. I ordered filet mignon medium cooked and it came a little too rare but it was still a very tasty steak. My lady friend ordered the ribeye medium cooked and it was absolutely perfect. I tasted a bite and it was excellent too. I'm sure they would have put my steak back on the grill if I had asked them to but I never do that. I thought it was a very nice restaurant and I thought the people were nice and the food was very good. I'll go back for sure. Go early because they do not take reservations and the place fills up very quickly. read more

It opens at 4:00 and I'd recommend going 15 min. early to get in line. If you don't you will have to wait - but it will be worth it. Darn good food and great service. I had the filet and could cut it with my fork. My husband ordered the homemade coconut cake for dessert (order it when you order your meal because they run out quick) and it was very yummy. read more

Truly top-tier fried flounder, rolls, fries (battered), and tarter sauce (wow!). Slaw (cut too thick) and hushpuppies (hard, small, & somewhat dry) definitely need some work. Steak is quite nice. Terrific atmosphere, hardcore rustic style with many interesting antiques. Romantic lamps above, dimmer nature. Waitresses are friendly enough. The establishment was out of quite a lot of items. The chef gave us a complimentary ribeye, which was a really standout gesture!! Definitely recommended! read more

We were visiting the area from out of state and searching for a place for dinner. How lucky for us we found Mountain Holler! Without a doubt, one of the very best steaks I've had in a long, long time. And the server (who was also originally from Georgia) was just delightful. Any time we're back in this area, we will definitely make it a priority to return to Mountain Holler for a meal. read more

Amazing food but they are very busy almost all the time. Definitely worth the wait. It is a rustic motif. Very cute. Deserts are great. Recommend the cowboy chicken dip. read more

Went here after a hike and it hit the spot. I had the seafood trio with baked potato as a side and it was delicious. Big portion that is shareable or taken home as left over. Our waitress Autumn was very sweet and attentive. Food was reasonably priced. Would definitely come back read more

Our car group stopped there today (Sunday 9/24/23) at noon. They were able to accommodate our group, and we were very impressed with Jennaerae. She was awesome. The food was excellent and plentiful. read more

This place is so unassuming, out in the the middle of no where, a nice building but the food is incredible, wonderful steaks shrimp and salmon, unbelievable read more

I absolutely love this restaurant my family has eaten there every other week for the past 3 months. And it is worth the wait. I've tried the ribeye steak Shrimp Grilled chicken Sirloin steak And the chopped steak. It was all sooo good the salad is always fresh and crisp. I highly recommend. Definitely the best restaurant in town. read more

1st timer here, Mountain Holler is fabulous! Excellent service & food. Come early, this place gets busy!

We just moved to the area from Las Vegas, 4 months ago. Of course the food is extraordinary in Las Vegas. So I'm definitely not comparing the two locations because it would be like comparing apples to oranges. I'm sorry to say the good restaurants out here are "far"and few between. However that being said Mountain Holler holds its own as fine dining in a comfortable down home atmosphere. I only have one complaint, what is a great restaurant serving Margarine and not butter. To have a good bake potato and good rolls you need good butter. That won't stop me from coming there I'll just have to carry my own butter. read more

We ate a late lunch today. Sheila was an excellent server & our meals were delicious( salmon, steak, ribs & barbecued shrimp). Brought home frozen lemonade pie for later. Only disappointment was they had run out of their delicious rolls. read more

Overall this is a great place to have in Mitchell County. We have been a few times, and had mostly wonderful experiences. The service is consistently fantastic. From the initial contact with the hosts/hostesses through being seated, ordering, and the meal. Not once have I ever noticed even a minute issue in this aspect. The food itself is consistently good too. Nothing terribly "fancy," but none the less comes as advertised. We did have one incident where the menu didn't do a great job of describing an item, but this was the only time that's happened. It was a Cowboy Chicken app that was described as "grilled chicken breast, ranch dressing, melted cheese, and bacon bits." We were expecting pieces of chicken topped with the toppings; it turned out to be mostly Ranch with some piece of chicken, bacon, and cheese mixed in. There wasn't anything "wrong" with it, it just wasn't what we were expecting based on the description. Since we don't like Ranch all that much, we likely wouldn't have ordered if we knew it was a dip. But the steaks, seafood, and other appetizers are quite good. I enjoy the Seafood Trio when it's available, the salads are very nice and have some interesting ingredients, and the ribs are amazing. And the loaded cheese fries are spectacular. On the whole if you are considering eating at Mountain Holler, I would say it's worth the drive, and even the wait. read more

Decent steaks and seafood. Friendly service. Needs to open for lunch...we could use more options around here.

Best filet ever. Tasty & so tender. Everything we tried was excellent. Great service & social distancing.

It was ok. Frankly I wouldn't rush to go back. I was overly enthusiastic when I saw a whole church group get off at 4 pm to eat there. The salad was interesting and dressing good, not really mixed greens though, mostly iceberg. After the waitress talked up the salmon they were out. The filet was ok. The outer part was over cooked although the center was medium. I had to keep salting it. My husband liked the ribs and said the soup was just ok. The service was fabulous! Overall it was just a mixed experience for us. read more

Omg This place was amazing, I tried the Roan Combo (Ribs & Shrimp) with Carolina Red sauce & it was out this world. Kat helped us out and she was amazing as well, she recommended the Chocolate Brownie & That was the icing to the whole experience. If u want amazing food come here! read more

Wow. One of the best places to eat in the area. If not the best. Plan to wait because they are busy. Best night to go is Wednesday n try the sirloin steak special. Ruth Chris has nothing on this steak but overpriced. One of the best steaks around Best thing about Wednesday is no waiting. Again don't miss read more

Great meal. My husband had the rib and holler shrimp the sauce was amazing. I had the medallions with mushrooms onions and shrimp awesome. Autumn did a great job read more

Nice environment, food was great, very kind people, fast service and Reasonably priced. I would definitely come back here again. Thank you for a great night. read more

First timers, as we are moving to the area. Everyone's first recommendation and it did not disappoint. Had the 12 oz ribeye, and it had to be much larger, beautiful salad with house made dressing, and a top notch baked potato. Cooked to perfection, seasoned just right, and tender. My spouse had a Quesadilla and brought half of it home, due to the wonderful house made salsa and chips. Sweet tea has the perfect amount of sugar, and strawberry cheese cake to go. A $45.00 dollar meal, this steak in Charlotte (akin to Beef and Bottle Ribeye) would be $52.00 alone. This will be a staple once we live here full time. read more

Best restaurant in this area. Such a great addition. Steaks as good as a five star steak house. It was Very busy and the service was still great. Quite a ride from our home but well worth it!! Thank you thank you for opening here read more
