Wow!!! Unbelievably good! We ordered the cheeseburger pizza. I've had cheeseburger pizza at other…read moreplaces but they were not this good. The dough is fresh tasting. In fact, we saw a guy hand forming another pizza for someone else. The restaurant is clean. The ladies are nice. Every employee is seen, no wondering what they're doing in a hidden away kitchen. No dropped food behind the counter. The prices are reasonable. We are a medium pizza and had two drinks for just over $20.00. They have fountain drinks or canned drinks from which to choose. We almost didn't stop because there isn't really a big sign advertising this place. We were driving by and just happened to have seen the word pizza on the door. Glad we found it and if we should be back in the area, we will definitely be back.

My husband was a huge fan of the cheeseburger pizza. My kids loved the cheese bread and cheese pizza as well. There are other pizza places in Roan Mt but this is the best. The crust is baked to perfection and they are super nice and have great service. They are not always open every night so check the schedule. There is not a big sign on the road or anything either so make sure you don't miss the turn. We came with 10 people one night and 15 people another and were able to be seated quickly and get our food pretty quickly too. It's not huge but it fits the bill for what we needed and the pizza is great.

Highly recommend if you're in the area! We can't wait to go back!

They now have a full bar which they didn't have when I wrote my last review. What a nice touch. The owner was nice enough to make my sisters a pitcher of sangria to enjoy. He mixed up some delicious expresso martinis for my friend and I. We ordered the firecracker shrimp and the Brussel sprouts. Both were fantastic!! I ordered the Sirloin with a caesar salad and potatoes. My friend ordered the overmountain chicken and she said it was fantastic. I honestly can't remember what my sisters ordered b/c we just chatted and laughed the whole dinner. I loved my steak and it was cooked perfectly. The caesar was also really good and I'm a caesar snob since my husband makes his own dressing...this matched up to his perfectly...so delicious!! Our server was extremely nice, prompt and really appeared happy to work here. The owner was as always the nicest and attentive person on the floor and he is just so kind. I love that everyone who works here really are top notch. From the second you walk in the door you feel like you've arrived at their family home for a wonderful meal. We all left very full and so happy. I can't wait to return.

For the second time in the last month we have had a terrible experience at this restaurant. It took…read more30 minutes before our order was taken and 50 minutes later before our food came. The steaks were overcooked, the chicken was dry and the Brussels were dry. We even waited 25 minutes for our desserts to come. Clearly something has happened over the last few years as it is not like it used to be. We are not big drinkers but to let your liquor license lapse seems like very poor management. We gave it a second chance since our last bad experience and this was the last time. I really hate it because we need good places in this area but for the prices they charge this is nowhere near worth it.

Pulling up in the parking lot, you can smell the wood fired oven as it bellows out that smokey goodness from it's hearth. The food here is exceptional! From the baked goods to pizza it's very fresh and the barista does a fine job at making the coffees as well. My favorite is the caramel macchiato. If you haven't been to Smokey Mountain Bakers, treat yourself to an authentic Roan Mountain gem. Roan Mountain would not be the same without it.

Usually Subway's produce is not that great but the girl making my salad took the time to pick out the tomatoes with huge cores and threw them away.

Our favorite restaurant in Banner Elk!!!! Small town, with few restaurants, we weren't expecting to…read morefind great quality food. But we did. We ended up coming to eat dinner here twice, in two days (vacation was over after that). The name should probably say "bistro", instead of cafe and catering, to give the correct description of this restaurant. The ambiance inside (and the food) gives you a "bistro feel"- but we sat outside at a picnic table both nights because we brought our dog with us! The staff both nights was very friendly, with the entire team pitching in to bring you drinks and food, and checking on you. The cocktails at this place were unique, and well-constructed; my favorite was similar to a tart pisco sour!! They also have a wine and beer selection. For dinner, one night I ordered the steak of the day, which was ribeye, served with asparagus and potatoes. The steak was cooked perfectly, and was both juicy and tender. The second night I ordered the pasta of the day, which was casarecce pasta served with clams. The pasta was 10/10- the noodles were cooked al dente, the sauce was thick and flavorful, and nestled into each noodle really well. We also tried the snow crab and the NC oysters off the seafood menu, and the chocolate banana milkshake and the strawberry cloud/meringue off the dessert menu. All of those items were delicious (the strawberry dessert was my absolute favorite and I got it both nights). Really nothing but compliments to say about this restaurant! Every dish is flavorful, well-seasoned, and cooked nicely. Highly recommend and would definitely go again if I am ever back in Banner Elk!!
