The photos on this page are for another breakfast location. They do have one table outside here, that you can sit at with a dog, just beware it is in direct sunlight, and the sidewalk and pavement get hot later in the day. It's also a 2 person table only. With that being said, ordered a Nutella frappé (coffee milkshake) and a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. The frappé was 10/10- solid flavor, and great with the extra espresso shot! The eggs and bacon were cooked perfectly, and the plain bagel was fresh and soft! Breakfast sandwich was really tasty! Service was quick, not over-friendly and welcoming, but polite. I would definitely return here for breakfast if I was in the area! Convenient, quick, and delicious!

You can order from a kiosk, the QR code at your table or Allison can help you. I had a bacon cheeseburger and my guys had burgers with seasoned fries. The food arrived very quickly and was cooked to perfection. Be warned: the seasoned fries are VERY seasoned fries. I snuck a few of my hubby's to taste but I'm sure I wouldn't have been able to eat an entire order of my own. I wish I had room for a shake because they looked incredible. Maybe next time!

The food here was outstanding although I thought the portions were on the smaller side for the price, the old adage "quality and quantity doesn't come in the same package" applies here in my opinion but I'd definitely return when I'm back in the area. The fries were outstanding and fresh cut to order and the chicken tenders were some of the best take-out or dine in I've experienced in a very long time. The drive through was a continuous flow that wrapped the building during our visit and the inside was just as busy but the staff demonstrated great skill in getting the food out in a reasonable time with a friendly smile and a thank you for coming in. If you like great chicken you'll love this place...

It was also a super close option that I wouldn't have to worry about us driving up a steep mountain at night! When we walked in...it was just..sad. I could see that they have a large open area for playing pool, several areas with booths, what looked like a stage (that housed some not so amazing local singer while we were getting ready to leave) There was a huge area outside with strung lights and a great fire pit. This place is ready for crowds of folks wanting to have a good time and enjoy some food and beverages. I noticed that a lot of the staff was dressed like Oz characters. I am not sure if this was something that they actually wanted to do but it was cool. Then I saw something that made me giggle and talk to strangers. A list of themed drinks!! I love a theme. I chose the ruby slipper drink, and then I saw that the menu is also on the counter and is super limited. So Im standing at a counter ordering a cocktail, which feels odd...and then there are only really a few items to choose from for food. I went with a cheeseburger with all the veggies and a special sauce, that I think was just mayo and ketchup mixed. We were given a number and told to pick a table. We went to the left and sat down. Not too long had passed and a server came out with my drink, and said ..oh you sat way over HERE. When the food came, I saw that this was probably a really great place to hang out when you live here, but when the town is so busy for an event, they can't handle the load of so many customers, and maybe aren't the nicest about it. I did enjoy my cocktail, the burger was an ok one, just nothing to tell Aunty Em about.

It was club music in the mountains??? This place won't make it. I can say that as a local. They have a nice building next door that is supposed to be for events. Minimum price $1500. They should have made it a restaurant. Won't last. Very disappointing because Beech Mt. needs more restaurants. Their hours are flaky too. Says their open and their not.

They have so many options for food that are normally not available for people with allergies. I couldn't decide on one thing so I ordered several things. For starters, the chicken sandwich was huge. It was perfectly fried and very crispy. The bun held together and didn't fall apart. If you are gluten free, you know this is hard to find. I would say I only ate about 1/3 of the sandwich, it was so large. I also ordered the fried okra which were very crispy and the coating was light and flavorful. It's one on my favorite things to order here and a can't miss if you love fried okra. The next favorite was hush puppies. They reminded me of the hush puppies I used to eat growing up and have missed dearly. The prefect combination of sweet and crunchy. And i couldn't leave without trying the fried pickles. The owner, Lisa, and I were speaking about all the options and I told her how much I love having all these options. She included a small side of spicy pickles for me to try and they were even better than the regular. Not overly spicy and a great combination with breading and ranch dressing. I can't wait to return to try the fried jalapeños and the brisket. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. The prices are amazing. I ordered all of the food (6 different things) and a drink for $26. It was way more than I could eat but I wanted to try it all. The atmosphere is casual and the booths are cafeteria style for a very comfortable, southern experience.

I could taste a good flavor with the chili but because the hot dog was so bad it just was not a good compliment. There was good seating inside and easily accessible parking. That's always a plus.

But I wiggled my vehicle into a tight spot and went in for a burger and a beer. I believe there were about 10 to 12 options available on tap, and I went with what was listed as an Irish stout from somewhere in the Northeast. It wasn't bad, though it seemed more like an imperial stout. My sandwich choice was the Cowboy, with ground elk at its core. It was a good choice too, and the accompanying fried onions and melted cheese complemented the meat well. I ordered the burger medium, but I think I'd go for medium rare if I could go back in time. The medium option wasn't bad, but I think a little less heat and a little more moisture would only make things better. I kept things simple with the side item, going for the fries which were of the thinly sliced McDonald's variety, not bad but nothing remarkable. The server covering my table was pleasant and prompt, though soft spoken so I occasionally had to ask her to repeat herself amidst the music and noise. I wouldn't call any of these selections a bargain, but the prices didn't veer too far from what you'll find in many burger joints. All in all, not an earthshaking experience, but a place I'd be willing to go back to. 3.5 stars.

The Carolina Dog was a hit, as was the brat with mustard and beer cheese sauce. It was a little hard to find silverware and napkins once we were seated away from the counter, so don't forget to grab some before you head to a table. Great experience overall.
