The food is delicious! My favorites are the spring rolls, burgers and their salads. The salads are very fresh and have so much flavor and textures. Added plus is they are dog friendly. read more

Snap Dragon - Spring rolls, salad and hard cider - Bars Near Me - Burnsville, North Carolina

Such a quaint find right off the Burnsville square! Highly recommend the burger and cannon balls. Great food and fun drink menu at reasonable prices. Staff was friendly and atmosphere was lively. Don't miss this great spot! read more

Sorry, the male waiter, that has been there for at least a year does not have sanitary habits. I saw him use a lime to rim a glass and return it to the container times 2. Prior to that he he kept using a towel to clean a glass I expected had film. He is too lack in his duties. Focused on female employee When I said something to him he made a snide comment. Fries were cold. No reason for that everything was over cooked read more

Poor service waiting over 30min for food, meal was very subpar felt bland and cheap. I was led astray with the great reviews but very miss leading. the ambiance was good though I don't drink so I'm assuming if you do you might enjoy it a bit more than I. read more

This is Burnsville's latest watering hole. It's in a cozy location with indoor and outdoor seating. There is a good selection of local craft beer on tap and the service is friendly. The food is better than your average bar fare, and is on par with some of the more popular gastropubs that you'll find in larger cities. The specials are posted on the wall and did not disappoint. I would like to see an expanded menu, especially since they share a kitchen with the adjacent Garden Deli. We will be back on our next visit. read more

This restaurant is a jewel in the heart of Burnsville! The food is fantastic but the service is better! We had a really hard time figuring out what to eat since everything we saw around us looked so good. He finally landed on chili and grilled cheese for me and a burger with fries for hubby. We both decided we need to go back and try everything! Great food and atmosphere for a nippy night. When it's warmer outside we'll venture to the outdoor seating areas. You must try this place. Can't say enough good about it! read more

Brought a party of 9 to Snap Dragon last night. First time for all of us. Food was DELICIOUS!! All 9 were bragging on their choices. Burgers, fish tacos, the spring rolls & the chicken sandwiches. Everybody was thrilled. Their French fries (I stole a couple from my buddy!) were possibly the best I've ever had!! Was tempted to return tonight just for the fries!! Service was just right...not hovering but always there when we wanted them. I can't wait to go back!! THANK You Snap Dragon!! read more

Absolutely THE best locally sourced beef in their Blue Ridge Burgers. Great staff, clean COVID protocols and warm friendly waitstaff with delicious drinks--including a rare vodka from our perfect Yancey County Blue Ridge granite-well water. NEVER a bag choice for a meal. read more

Everything was delicious. One of the best burgers I've had in a long time! Service was great and awesome atmosphere

Ate at Snap Dragon on Saturday night and had a wonderful time. The food was delicious and service was ON POINT. Armundo (I apologize if I misspelled your name!) was our waiter and he was wonderful. It is a rather small restaurant - he seemed to be pretty much running the FOH and did a wonderful job! I had the Thai Market Ribs and they were quite good! I would definitely order them again. They came with a cool crisp Asian slaw as well that helped balance out the flavor of the ribs. My partner had the grilled cheese and chili which he thoroughly enjoyed. I also had the fries, which were fine - everyone does fries differently, they just weren't my style. Friends that were eating with us definitely enjoyed them though. They are regulars and swear by the chicken wings which was evident with them ordering a 12 count EACH. We had a brief interaction with Greg (the owner I believe) on the way out and he was very pleasant. Lots of regulars here, so to me that is a testament of their quality and consistency. Hope to become a regular there myself if we get the chance to relocate to the area! read more

This place is unreal! From the food, to the service, to the sanitization, everything was on point. Hand sanitizer was readily available and social distancing was followed to a T. Food came out quickly and was delicious. The veggies were incredibly fresh. Our favorite item was the ribs. It's a must try. Come here if you're ever passing through Burnsville ! read more

Excelllent place in the main town square in Burnsville. Plenty of local craft beers on tap, service is friendly and welcoming. Had the fish tacos. Really interesting tang to the slaw, and it really comes together with the fish. Fries were proper good fries, some of the best I've had, hands down. Was too full to try dessert, my bad. read more

Snap Dragon is the best thing to happen I to Burnsville in years! Great food, a fantastic staff and a cool venue all on the town square. They featured a great selection of craft beer, specialty spirits and unique and authentic dishes. The fish tacos were superb and the Blue Ridge burger rivals any pub burger in the country. A great place to have dinner or just to hang out at the bar! read more

My cocktail was delicious and balanced, the bartender/waitress was very friendly, and my fish tacos were perfect. The breading on the fish was crisp and light. So much so that I told her they should offer fish and chips if they can fry that well. Will definitely go back and sample more items. Yum! read more

Stopped in for a snack & drink. It was a beautiful day to sit outside in the garden area. I had the Swarm Weather cocktail & my husband had a local beer from Homeplace. Both were good. Cara was a great bartender & waitress. We shared the Seashore Fries & they were a real treat. Cara informed me they have veggie burgers when I told her I was vegetarian but we weren't that hungry, especially after the tasty fries. We arrived soon after opening but Snapdragon became very busy by the time we left. Highly recommend this gem in downtown Burnsville! read more

Love this place. Great food and great cocktails. Nice place to have a relaxing casual dinner in Burnsville

Buffalo wings were awesome and I'm hard to please when it comes to wings lol yes, would recommend

Great place with great service and amazing food and drinks. I've ate here multiple times over the past few years and it's always awesome

I work for a local competitor & am regular enough at SnapDragon that most of the staff knows me by name. They have my husband's drink preferences down pat & would mine as well, if I stuck to my usual vodka tonics. But Vanessa has usually stirred up something that sounds so interesting I have to try it. I don't eat there as often as I used to...see my opening sentence. That being said, I'm completely mindblown at a review calling the staff & locals mean and/or ignorant. That simply is not true. We have been in Snapdragon at least once every week since it has opened; hubby ends up there with co-workers more often than that. Staff is super friendly & accommodating. I've seen the tables & chairs rearranged into every possible configuration by diners & the only time it was ever curtailed was when a door was blocked off during cold weather when the entire front wall of the bar couldn't be rolled up. Concerning the locals, it's a fairly even mix of actual locals that grew up in the area & folks who have moved here from somewhere else. I've seen interracial couples, same sex couples, straight folks, etc...never have I seen anyone treated "wrong" just for being. Not by staff, not by other customers. I feel compelled to defend the watering hole & the local wildlife that frequents it. And I have certainly never seen Brian give less than exemplary service, even when someone was treating him like the "help." read more

Without a doubt the greatest restaurant in town. The food, prices, variety, staff, and crowd are all equally excellent. It is an incredibly homey feel to it and it doesn't take long to settle right in and become comfortable. I recommend sitting at the bar and have conversation with the locals. read more

Went in for dinner with my wife. After looking over the menu I chose the Thai Market Ribs with Asian slaw and my wife had the teriyaki wings. Both were wonderful. Service was great and really enjoyed the restaurant setting. Will return when back in Burnsville. read more

We ate lunch and dinner during our last visit to Burnsville. Meatballs: awesome, hamburgers: awesome, i found my new place to eat in the mountains read more

My partner and I visited this 'restaurant' on our travels this weekend. The only good thing I can share about it was how happy we were to leave. The food terrible, the wait staff worse and the local clientele hateful. Brian - the bartender did his very best to ignore us; treat us with open disrespect, blatant prejudice and ignorance. We were made to feel unwelcome the moment we walked in the door. When we attempted to find a seat at the bar - we were scalded and told we could not move the chairs due to fire regulations. It wasn't the act of moving the chairs we found objectionable - it was the way we were told; or scalded more like. The food menu very limited; the quality of presentation, plating and ingredients poor at best. The meatballs ( which I couldn't eat ) greasy and bland; my partners meal no better than something served out of a fast food truck. The fact that my partner ended up sick the next day speaks volumes in regards to kitchen hygiene or lack thereof. Asking to speak to the manager; I was eventually granted an audience. Again; unhelpful, lot's of excuses ending in " please bear with us - we're still new and learning" I can accept "new and learning" - I cannot and will not accept open hatefulness and prejudice. Shame on you Snap Dragon. Shame on your owners and management team for encouraging and promoting hate towards minority women. Racism and gender hate continues to thrive in backward North Carolina. Stay away. Do not promote or condone this states hate by contributing to their economy. read more

This really is the best place to eat in Burnsville. They have grass feed burgers. The other food items are really good as well as the micro brews. The atmosphere is very pleasant and in the summer months the outside patio is awesome. It can be full in the winter months because the dining space is half as it's too cold to sit in the patio. The girls working here are sweet and attentive. I am so apprecitive that we have Snap Dragon in Burnsville. What a great addition to town! read more

Food was delicious!!! Meatballs with pineapple topping was so tender and tasty!! Sweet staff were extremely friendly and courteous. Place was busy and pleasant.

I'm actually happy for the "gas shortage." Came here instead of heading into Asheville. Best Cuban sandwich I've ever had and great fries. Very local place but out of Townes welcome and amazing service. Going to talk the wife into coming here again during our stay. read more

Great spot for drinks or food. The Thai market ribs are my favorite! The food is great in general and the atmosphere is cool. The staff is very friendly. This is a must go stop in Burnsville in the afternoon or evening . It doesn't open until 3 but there are plenty of other great lunch options including Garden Deli , Rad Dawgz and Blind Squirrel. read more

Love this place! The food, beer, atmosphere, and service is great! I highly recommend it.

Snap Dragon is awesome. Best place in the bustling metropolis of Burnsville (and a 30 miles radius) to get killer drinks and food. Everything on the menu is incredible, the signature cocktails are awesome, the staff is all great (although Miranda and Sarah are outstanding and make the best drinks) and the atmosphere is very cool. 5/5. I recently started coming here and will be back at least once a week as long as I live in Yancey Co.. Also, the prices are incredible! read more
