My husband and I split the Western Omelette with toast and we added a side of grits. I ordered coffee to drink. Our friends both ordered the Charlotte's Special. The same girl who took our order brought our drinks and food out to our table. She was very nice. The restaurant had a country decor. There were several tables and booths. Our only complaint was that it was very cold. It was cold outside but it felt like the AC was on. I kept my coat on the whole time. In spite of that, we enjoyed our meal and the experience. Our food was delicious! This might be our Go-To, especially on Mondays!

The wait is worth it if you get there before 8 am. The omelettes had a lot of filling and were very good. The buckwheat pancake while thin had a really nice texture. The pot roast eggs Benedict was good but the biscuit is so thick and soft and the meat is soft that it would be better with an English muffin for a texture factor. Place is cute log cabin vibes and very busy.

People are frustrating--especially on vacation. But, if you are irritated, do not assume that you won't be understood. I speak 3 languages well and understand more. The wait was awful, but to be expected. And our waitress was helpful and friendly--though not super attentive. She was busy, though, not lazy. The food was decent. Not earth shattering. Bottom line...if you want BIG food. And you have 1.5 hours to wait for food...it is a great tourist spot. The biscuits were light and fluffy. The cinnamon roll bread is well done...but the flavor was tame and the glaze was not good. My son loved the Aretha Frankenstein pancakes. However, if you want good food, there has to be a better spot.

They need to invest in some better seats they were not comfortable and they are not friendly to people who have a big butt.

Great atmosphere, welcoming staff, and food that actually lives up to the hype. I ordered the shrimp and grits and let me tell you, they were outstanding. Creamy, perfectly seasoned, and loaded with flavor. Not the bland, "it'll do" kind. The real deal. Every bite was better than the last. My husband had the steak. Cooked exactly right, full of flavor, and clearly high quality. When a steak guy is impressed, you know it is serious. And the charcuterie board? Unreal. They had Prosciutto di Parma on there. You almost never see that around here, and they did not skimp. It was fresh, flavorful, and paired beautifully with everything else on the board. Thoughtful, elevated, and done right. Now let's talk about the brown sugar bourbon. They make it in house and it is beyond amazing. Smooth, rich, just the right amount of sweetness. One sip and you understand why people rave about it. Bottom line: incredible food, top notch drinks, and an experience that feels special without being stuffy. Ghost and Grits is the kind of place you go once and immediately start planning your next visit. Jefferson City is lucky to have it!

This year they were forced to move out of Chimney Rock Village because the half of the town was wiped out by Hurricane Helene. I was very excited to come support them through this tragedy because their food is simply amazing! I ordered the prime rib and it was fantastic. We had a large party and ever stated how good their meals were. If you like upscale dining, this is your place in Lake Lure. Don't let the outside of this restaurant fool you. Their new location is nice. They revamped the space and the outside patio is adorable. The inside was pleasant and comfortable. Our waiter was multitasking as a waiter, food runner and bartender. So he was attentive as best he could. He did take the time to talk over menu items and even create a custom cocktail for my friend. He was awesome! There was some confusion about our reservation and our table was given to another party. It was unfortunate and did sour my experience. With that said I will always support this place as it is an amazing restaurant that I want to stay in business!

I don't prefer the burger it's a pound and is a little dry by the time it takes to make one. Other sandwiches are great. They do special orders (give a weeks notice) for 5 star cakes.

Where the atmosphere feels like Home and the service makes you feel like Family. Danielle was our server. She was Patient, and Exceptional at her job. She was welcoming, accommodating and personalable. We loved getting to Know Danielle! (Prayers for Caden!) She made sure my Husband and I were filled up on coffee and drinks while we were enjoying our Homecooked meal. I cannot Say ENOUGH good things about this Beyond Hospitable Waitress. Actually, the whole entire team that we met, were just absolutely BEYOND REMARKABLE. From the ARMY dude "Johnson" to Mrs. Freda who sat us and also gave us Great Conversation... I would be BEYOND proud of this Homey Restaurant, if I were it's Owner. Freda gave us the Amazing background on how this place came to be about 14 years ago. And you can just hear how proud she is of this Beautiful Hidden Gem and how far it has come. Thank you for Freda, for the Great Welcoming atmosphere. You're so warm and your Service is Wonderful. "JOHNSON"- We hope to one day see your coat of many colors... and we are hoping to see your "New and Improved Military Attire!!" Haha!! We loved hearing the employees bless each other with Good, Edifying Words. We did Not hear ONE swear word. It's SO Family Friendly. They gave our Son like 6 crayons to color with, and d they have high chairs. Everything on the menu sounded SO delicious. My Husbamd and I were given gift certificates for Our Anniversary, so we had decided to "treat ourselves" with the Fried Green Maters and the Spinach Articoke Dip! HOLY COW. Their Spinach Artichoke recipe is better than mine... And the Fried Green Maters were just ABSOLUTELY MINDBLOWING. (This was our first time ever trying them- EVER) The Creamy Mustard they give you with it is smooth and tangy. Whereas the Ranch based sauce was our Favorite and Packed with Flavor that just intensified the flavor of the Maters!!! Astounding. We have never ate such Great Food. (The Burps were just as good!! Haha! ) The Quality and Price of the food are beyond Enjoyable. And VERY LOW PRICED!! The Philly Cheese steak was wonderful and My Husbands Reuban was SO big he couldn't even wrap his mouth around it. Safe to say, we left SO full. And with 4 boxes of Leftovers. We Cannot WAIT to come back. Get your Loved Ones ain't Certificate, and Prepare to have your minds BLOWN. WE WILL BE BACK SOON AND WE Are REALLY looking forward to it. The food was so delectable, we were sad when all the leftovers were gone.NEVER ATE FOOD THAT TASTY OR EVER HAD REMARKABLE SERVICE LIKE THAT. THE FOOD WAS SO GOOD, We even tipped the cooks. We have never had food taste like that, and we have been thinking about it ever since we went. Loved the Signage and Christian Music. This Place is Perfect. God Bless the Owners, Cooks, and ALL the Staff here at this Restaurant. My Recommendations: -FRIED GREEN TOMATOES WITH THE SAUCES... YOU'LL BE THINKING ABOUT IT FOR DAYS!! - Spinach Artichoke Dip!! I have NO words... -Coffee was brewed Fresh and Hot with Robust Taste! -Hot Dogs (for kids) with the Mac N Cheese... our Son LOVED it!! -The Steak Tips, with Onions and Peppers. LITERALLY cooked to Perfection. -The Reuban Sandwich!! -Anything you get, I guarantee will be SO Delicious. Pros: -Great, Quiet Location. Easy to Find with Maps! -The Coffee was Fresh and Flavorful. -Every SINGLE staff member was Courteous, BEYOND Hospitable, and Attentive. Loved forming the Relationships we Did. -BEST SERVICE WE HAVE EVER HAD. -Plenty of Parking -Great Decor, Funny Sinage, very Clean and Welcoming. (We saw People cleaning and taking Pride in their Restaurant when we went) -CHEAP PRICES WITH QUALITY FOOD AND TASTE...I cannot brag on this enough!!! -Portion Sizes will BLOW. YOUR .MIND. (If the Taste and service doesn't do that already.) -Family & Friendly Atmosphere that holds strong to Family and Christian Virtues/Values. Cons: - WHAT IS A CON?!? We Can't WAIT to be back!

The best part was when we went to pay, and just because I asked if they do anything for veterans (as I showed my VA card), I get a dirty look from the cashier. All because I asked a question.
