This restaurant exceeded my expectations. Very good menu selection with lots of drink options. I was impressed they gave me scissors with my French onion soup. I've never had that before! If you're looking for finer dining in the area this is it! read more

Food and service was wonderful. It was a little loud only because people around me are talking loud was excellent and you even open the door a few minutes before five which is unusual for them but I'm very glad. read more

I can't say enough about this place. I made reservations for 5:30 and we were seated promptly, no waiting! Our server, Larry was amazing. He was attentive, had a great personality and made great recommendations. The food came out perfectly and everything was amazing. The restaurant itself was a bit noisy, possibly because it is a winter, holiday weekend in a ski town. The bathroom is a bit small and there is always a line. Looking forward to my next visit to Banner Elk and Stonewalls!! read more

We didn't have a reservation so we were lucky to get in. Worth the 40 minute wait for a table during Oktoberfest in Banner Elk! Alex, our server, was very attentive and the food was outstanding! The fresh warm bread and butter started the show, and then hubby's French onion soup made him even happier. His boneless ribeye was cooked perfectly to his liking and the fries were good. My 12 grilled shrimp on skewers were juicy and flavorful, and the Brussels were delicious. Beautiful restaurant with enclosed outdoor seating is pet friendly - two neighboring tables brought their furry family in and the staff came out to greet and treat. For as busy as the were, totally booked dining room, everything was perfect for us visiting out of town. read more

Let's start off with the escargot that made no mention on the menu description of having mushrooms in it, the ribeye being so tasteless I had to put salt and pepper on it, same with the filet only blue cheese butter gave it some flavor. The mashed sweet potatoes were "stone" cold and the waiter never came back after the food was delivered to report any of these issues to let alone ask how our meal was when delivering the bill. I truly have no qualms paying over a hundred dollars for a two party meal when there's value and flavor in it. I will never return to this restaurant when we visit every year. Very disappointing, very. read more

We love meeting friends here and relaxing outside Wine choice is always good! Service at bar is always a good experience read more

Outstanding!!! Rarely do I give a 5 star review, but every aspect of our experience at Stonewall's was excellent! We highly recommend the potato skins and salad bar. Our entrées were superb! The service was top drawer! Loved the ambience as well! A definite must, when you visit Banner Elk! read more

Had reservations for 6:30. Both parties showed up early 5:40 so we checked to see if we could get seated early. Absolutely no problem. Service was quick, food was excellent and waitress was on too of all our needs. Will be coming back next year when for out mountain trips. Highly recommend. read more

Stone Walls is exceptional on all levels. We slipped into the bar after golf, worried we weren't dressed enough... We found out Stone Walls is fine dining in a friendly, relaxed, professional setting. Joel was our server and he was extremely attentive, offering wine and meal suggestions while talking about the community and its recovery after Hurricane Helene. The stuffed mushrooms and the specials of lamb chops and salmon were phenomenal. read more

Well that was fantastic! We had not been here for a year or so but decided to come down the mountain to enjoy a nice dinner for Valentine's Day, I know amateur hour of dining. This place is always very busy and you need to make reservations, however they have 5 seats at the bar that are on a first come basis. We knew it would be crazy busy so we were there waiting for the doors to open at 5. Their menu is fairly tight but at least on the day we dined there were a bunch of specials. My husband started with the French onion soup. Very classically prepared and hilariously served with kid sized scissors to cut the cheese and bread. It was awesome to watch my left handed husband try to cut the cheese and bread. But at least he didn't choke - a known hazard with this dish! He ordered the rib eye special with a side of creamed spinach. Cooked wonderfully. I had the halibut special with a side of grilled asparagus and I've been dreaming about this dish since then. So, so delicious. The halibut was supposedly broiled but it was so tender it seemed like it was sous vied. The sauce on the halibut was creamy without being heavy with a nice acid balance. It's probably a good thing that this dish isn't on the menu all the time because I'd have to come down the mountain too much! I love the whole vibe of this place, nice but not overly fancy, you'll see suits to jeans (nice ones though ;). The decor is very classic, not sterile and not mountain casual. Although I think their menu is a bit limited I really like that all entrees come with a choice of a side and their sides options are extensive and very nice. We had fantastic service at the bar from Jason and Allie and enjoyed some lovely wine. I look forward to returning! read more

Huge bourbon selection, one important note though, it is incredibly expensive. Highly over priced. For a two ounce pour they charge $30. Right next door at the Tavern you can get the same for $11 to $15. I hear it's known for great steak. I had seared tuna, oysters on the half shell and my wife had crab cakes. The food was good, not great but reasonably priced. The service was outstanding. Nice quiet ambience. Looking forward to coming here again. read more

Went to Stonewalls for my husband's birthday and the whole experience was outstanding. Our server was really good and the food exquisite. I had the chicken florentine, so juicy, and my husband the prime rib, cooked to perfection. Let me not forget how delicious the onion soup was (little scissors included). Everything so tasty. Desserts were great. Very nice ambiance. Now that we live in the area will be coming more often for sure. read more

I want to recognize Josh for making our graduation dinner so special. He was attentive and a professional waiter making sure we were always taken care of. The prime rib is excellent read more

Excellent food and atmosphere. Will spend my hard earned shekels there again. I had a Ribeye and would have had another.

1st ... Service really good. We had reservation and get seated in minute. Our waiter was good. Quick not much questions or talking around. 2nd ..... That food is way below expectation. Pork chop : Big chop dry sooo dry. Who ever cooked that was busy with something else because that was hard to chew and dry , hard to swallow. Shrimp Scampi : way over cooked pasta swimming inside lake of butter. Not even close to scampi dish. Shrimp were big good few second over done. Prime rib : Good nothing much to mess up on this. Over all our dinner not good beside service. Kitchen have some work to do because if we have to drive by again hungry or wanna just taste food by pictures we saw before we went there , i am sure gonna pass and drive more somewhere else. read more

Super friendly staff and overall experience was still 4/5. Nice dinner and ambiance, however prime rib and ribeye were both over cooked. We would come back and give it another try. Mashed sweet potatoes were divine! Would also definitely suggest a trip to the salad bar -- endless options and all very fresh! read more

We were in the area for a day of fun. It was my Buddy's birthday. We did not have reservations and the restaurant was booked. I highly recommend reservations and you can do it here on yelp. We arrived as soon as they opened and put our name on the list. We went to the bar to get a drink while we waited outside. The bar tender was prompt and gave us all of the drink menu. Great selection of wines. Fantastic drink choices. We had the Margarita Verde, a spicy Margarita and a White Russian. We were promptly seated, due to a cancellation. We were really fortunate! Make reservations, you may not be as lucky as us and you don't won't to miss this place. When we were seated, we were greeted by Lana, our server. She asked if we had been there before. She knew her job, the menu, the specials and was quick to tell us if we wanted the dry aged beef, there was limited quantities. We wanted two and she proceeded to get us two reserved. If it wasn't for her promptness in identifying what we wanted we would have missed out on some of the best steaks. Our wives had the Halibut special and it was delicious. It's just not a saying, they really just melted in your mouth. It was a packed house, but the noise level didn't hinder our tables conversation. Nice pictures on the wall. Thank you Lana for being our server! Keep doing what you do. Great Job! read more

We've eaten here several times and the food is excellent however, it's always very busy during ski season so we typically avoid it at this time of year. Recently I was craving a good burger and didn't feel like cooking and my daughter's boyfriend suggested we order them for pickup at Stonewalls. I didn't even know they had them on the menu. I've had their prime rib, filet mignon and a particularly fantastic Halibut but never their steak burger. No joke, it was the best burger I've ever had and at only $16.00 was a real bargain. The service is consistently great and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Delicious! Consistency good! Must make reservations. One of the best places to eat at in Banner Elk.

Dined Friday night with a large group and Kam was OUTSTANDING as our server! She loved our group "theme" and promptly came to take drink orders and share specials. Kam did not hesitate to share her favorites which helped us choose our selections. Food was fabulous and she continually checked on us, and even verbally let us know the 20% automatic gratuities were already added to our separate checks. Of course, we left more after that amazing (and rare) transparency! We will be back! read more

Delicious food cooked perfectly. Excellent service and timing of food, high quality ambiance. There was live music in the bar area that did not interfere with the main dining room. Moderately priced. I advise to call for reservations. read more

Stonewalls - Ribeye - Steakhouses Near Me - Banner Elk, North Carolina

This was an absolutely wonderful dinner after a weekend of skiing. We were seated promptly but we had reservations. While we were checking in with the host we heard a gentleman telling someone on the phone that they were completely full for the evening so I certainly recommend getting a res ahead of time. Our server (Lanna?) was excellent. She was prompt, warm, and knowledgeable. She had several recommendations and I was not disappointed with the ones that I took. We had potato skins as an appetizer (crunchy and salty!). Entrees were pasta, steak, and chicken. I had some of each and all were perfectly executed. Ended with desserts and coffees. They can do decaf for both coffee and cappuccino if you want some to go with an after-dinner sweet. Lava cake and coffee was just right. read more

I have eaten here in the past and it was "ok" .. back n town with friends and tried to make a reservation.. can't make a reservation without placing my credit card on file first !! Now I know of a few fine dining that require a cancellation fee , but I am not prepared to place my credit information on line with some third party internet service!! We live in Boone and won't chance a walk in ... soo off my list ! read more

My best friends boyfriend took her out to celebrate her passing a really hard class in nursing school. They were both very excited to enjoy a night out together. She ordered a nice steak and asked for it to be medium well but more on the well side and it comes out bloody. You might as well have just walked the cow by a fire and put it on her plate. For a "steakhouse" you don't really know how to cook a simple steak... read more

We stopped after our late afternoon visit to the Land of Oz. We didn't have reservations but were able to be immediately seated at the outdoor covered patio. It was chilly but the server said they don't put out heaters until December. Brrrr. The burger is huge and can easily be shared. The French onion soup was very good. It had large pieces of onion rather than the usual thin strips that slide off the spoon. And it's served with kid scissors, presumably to cut the stringy cheese. A cute touch. Btw - The patio is dog friendly. The table next to us had their adorable Australian Shepard. The restaurant serves a dog bowl of cooked rice with au jus and can be topped with a protein. How cute is that! read more

Stopped by here to celebrate a birthday. Very popular place as we had to have a reservation to get in. The hubs ordered the 10 oz prime rib with a baked potato and loved it. I ordered the salmon and mashed sweet potatoes. Honestly the salmon was good for the first half but not cooked all the way on the 2nd half. The mashed sweet potatoes were very stringy and unfortunately I did not finish them. We ordered the chocolate lava cake and red velvet cheesecake for dessert and they were both awesome. They have a fire pit outside as well as outside dining. If you can't get in the parking lot of the restaurant there is parking across the street available. Our server Kathryn was a real gem especially when my hubs spilled a whole glass of water over the table. Thanx for being a good sport and laughing with us. We will definitely be back! read more
