Honestly, I have nothing bad to say about The Local! The food is delicious, the staff were super…read morefriendly and attentive, the prices weren't too bad, and the atmosphere is nice. They were pretty busy and it was just me and one other person so they sat us at the bar (after asking if it was okay). The bartender, despite having a full bar, was amazing! She was constantly checking in on us and my friend requested that she surprise her with a cocktail and the drink she made was spectacular! We both got the cheese curds for an appetizer and there were so many!!! They were also freaking amazing. The chipotle ranch that came with them wasn't my favorite but was still delish! My friend and I both got the creamy pesto Alfredo penne, I added chicken and she added steak. The serving size was perfect (just enough for a lil bit of leftovers) and it tasted so good. We ended the night with some of the Carolina beignets, which I somehow find myself getting every time I come here because they're so damn good!! They come with a cheerwine reduction on the side Also, got the prickly pear cocktail and it was pretty good! Not my favorite but they do have a super fun, excellent menu of cocktails.

I was visiting my son in Boone, as we move him into college... Ordered the wings, I had what I…read morebelieve was a blackened goat cheese, and fig burger with caramelized onions, which was off the charts, my son had the Salmon. Ratings- He gave the salmon a seven I give my Burger a nine, and the wings were about a seven(dry rub). That said, sitting at the bar was absolutely a treat... Erin was fantastic. Will 100% return and this is definitely a spot not to be missed. Also fantastic beer selection!!!

Stopped by with my family for a wonderful time. We were gathering for a family reunion of types and…read moresomeone suggested that we all get together at MountainRose. It was an exceptionally brilliant idea. The place has a phenomenal staff (especially Opie). They were welcoming, personable and knowledgeable. They had a deep experience with wines that helped guide the experienced wine drinkers and an empathetic approach to those (aka, me) who were clueless. I (ahm, the inexperienced) were never intimidated or given the snob treatment. However, my brother who knows his way around a bottle or two (or at least actively tries to fake it) was given the appropriate insights to what he was drinking. Across the ten of us, we tried multiple different wines and they were all well liked. Many made their way home as people had to take some bottles home. You can tell that I'm an amateur because the whole "flight of wines" thing was new to me. It was brilliant to sample many different varieties in what I would call shooters to the great disappointment of my brother. Yeah, I told you he acted like he knew what he was doing. They also gave us a brief tour of the beautiful grounds as well as a look "behind the scenes". I would really recommend visiting in the fall and maybe seeing things in action. The drive is a bit "way back there", but I highly encourage you to take the trip. It's definitely worth it.

Loved the wine and atmosphere! Born and raised just down the road and had no idea they were even…read morethere until I saw the wine in the grocery store. Great tasting experience and the lady that was there was super sweet and helpful! Pretty place!

I liked Southern Craft. The staff are excellent. The BBQ was outstanding. I have nothing bad to…read moresay about it. Enjoy

Bristol, Va. We checked into the adjoining Sessions Hotel…read moreand decided to have dinner here, why not? It is close and everyone working there was extraordinary friendly. Our waiter was really cool with his Southern Hospitality and acquired accent (Not From the South, but Accents Can be Contagious). We ordered our food and it came out quickly. Right away I saw that the ribs were charred. I ordered a whole rack as I am able to eat that many when the ribs are moist and tender. Unfortunately, the char was not limited to the glaze like some styles I've had. These baby backs were burnt well into the meat and the carbon was difficult to avoid. This also contributed to a very dry meat. It's a shame because the meat around the bones was quite tender and fall off the bone consistency. I find it hard to believe the pit master was even in the kitchen. Ribs are typically a signature dish in BBQ, and any one with pride in their profession would not allow these ribs to be served. How many times have these ribs be reheated under a flame or heat lamp anyway? Burnt Ends (The Actual Name of the Dish): These are actually pretty good, the flavor kind of hints at a wine sauce. They are way too dry to get through the entire serving though. Fried Green Tomatoes: not bad, just basic. Red Skin Potato Salad: Good, not anything special. Sweet Potato Soufflé: Very tasty, I did eat all of this. Pork Belly Collard Greens: The first few bites were interesting, but absolutely no empirical evidence by taste of pork belly. I soon tired of the vinegar and abandoned the dish. Tomato & Cucumber Salad: OK at first but too much vinegar. I boxed up my ribs thinking they may be salvageable for dinner the next day. Nope. The microwave just dried them out further and also destroyed what was left of the "Burnt Ends". What finally made me certain I would never spend another dollar here was our waiter returned to our table to spread the Gospel. I respect another's right to believe in what ever religion or belief system they want. However, this is a place of business and you work here. It is not the time or place to be proselytizing to a captive audience of customers. I had thought Southern Craft would be our go to place for breakfast, lunch or dinner during our week in Bristol, but I never set foot inside again.
