The service was where I was really concerned. We get out of the car to go inside and then see a big ol sign stating to go through the drive thru and pick up the food at the window, then customers are welcome to come inside to eat. The ambiance was nice, loved all the pigs they had around the restaurant.

Tucked just before the main streets of Jefferson, Smokey Mountain BBQ is a popular…read moredrive-through-only spot. We went around 6PM and it's evident from the line that nearly wraps around the building that it's a local fave! Fortunately, service is quick and efficient, they seemed to keep the line moving so we didn't wait long. Bonus points!! there's a covered patio for those who prefer to sit and eat on-site after receiving your food from the window. Portions are modest, and sauce options are limited to a traditional vinegar and a tomato-based version. The sides shine, I enjoyed the sweet potato fries and the rich, creamy mac and cheese. Overall, Smokey Mountain BBQ is a solid, no-frills dinner option that does regional comfort food right.

The staff was incredibly friendly and we were very happy to see them bring out a water bowl for our pup. Love to see business being dog friendly!!! The service was prompt and food was piping hot and fresh. Everything we tried was delicious. I had the trout (figured there was a lot of trout fishing around so it should be good) and we split the sweet potato bites. Didn't try any of the beers as it's not part of the current diet but we plan on coming back to do so.

Their flagship Jooce isn't bad but really 3 of 5 not any higher. The rest? Solid 2s at best. Better news, brisket is solid, fried pickles and curds are very good but burger? 2.5 stars. Not freshly ground, very little flavor and definitely not worth more than $10.

It's only about half a block off the main street in West Jefferson, so it's an easy walk if you're out shopping downtown. The vibe inside is really cool -- it feels like it might've been an old automotive shop at some point, but now it's got a warm, modern, laid-back atmosphere that totally works. Service was fast and friendly. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich, and it was honestly one of the best I've ever had: crispy edges, juicy inside, a great char, and real flame-grilled flavor. The onion rings were super crispy and delicious too. My daughter loved her mac and cheese. And the This Is Not The Muffler Shop IPA was a perfect, flavorful beer to round everything out. Highly recommend stopping here if you're in West Jefferson!

That said, this place and the host "Paps" are such a refreshing change from the usual B&B fare. The place is a well lived in 150 year old farm house and the host is a warm, personable person who also puts out an excellent breakfast. The location is about 10 minutes from downtown West J. We stayed in the President's suite and I would recommend it. It has everything needed including a large bathroom and a comfortable queen bed; not to mention the fridge, microwave and coffee maker. Soft drinks, lite snacks, and Kuerig pucks are included... Thanks Paps and Susan for the excellent accommodations and good local information.. We will be back when we visit the area..

I have no notes, this was a classic burger: I loved the hint of spice from pepperjack, the sweet contrast from the pineapple, and the patty was perfectly cooked. The pub chips were well-seasoned and crispy. The iced tea had just the right amount of sugar, and was very refreshing. The ambiance is fine: a bit dim inside, but there's also outside seating. Service was friendly & fast. Parking is free in downtown Jefferson. 10/10 would recommend!

Property Review "Rest Assured", 193 Abbie Trail, West…read moreJefferson, NC Carolina Mountain Properties & Rentals 8 N. Jefferson Ave. West Jefferson, NC 28694 Rented house "Rest Assured" from Sept 7 through Sept, 25, 2021 - cost $6172 Expectations: For this amount of money ($342 per night), we expected a well-furnished and appointed Mountain Cabin, regrettably, it was not. Instead, we found a neglected and uncared for older house. It was simply not up to our standards for a rental! Our Prior Experience: As previous VRBO house owners in Boone and Blowing Rock, NC, we always were sure that our renters "got what they paid for" ................ A well-managed, clean, up-to-date, well-furnished and outfitted with all utensils and amenities needed. Our previous experience with VRBO has been very positive, up until now. Jennifer at Carolina Mountain Properties was responsive to our requests, but she could not have given us what we expected with this house. This house was not what we have previously experienced on VRBO What was Experienced Light bulbs out in numerous locations (we found bulbs) Light fixtures old and cheap No chairs suitable for sitting out on the back deck, instructions were to drag from house Fan broken and not repaired as requested Toilets often needing plunger to clear Scalding hot water in showers due to complex plumbing fixture Mold in downstairs room Furniture very old, worn out and dirty No cue sticks available for pool table (corrected) Downstairs radio not working Dangerous stairs, two falls Parking inadequate and difficult Numerous screens missing Several old and missing blinds (3 were replaced) No water glasses (corrected) No wine glasses (corrected) Broken pull out kitchen cabinet (repaired) No cutting board in kitchen (corrected) Décor outdated and dirty Decking splintered Kitchen Utensils skimpy Linens need replacing Junk under the house Slippery bathtubs as showers, no handholds Old Christmas dishes .... really ETC. In summary, this house is showing age, needing maintenance and upgrades. Had we known the condition, we would have selected another VRBO. It was not worth the $6182 we paid. We requested refund from Carolina Mountain Properties, but rejected. Disappointed.
