Love this market! They have everything one could need, from fancy cheeses to delicious snacks and wine. The key lime pie from the bakery case was AMAZING! Perfectly tart but also sweet. The PEACH! Had the best white peach from here as well. Overall really enjoyed stopping by here!

Every time I go hiking nearby, I enjoy stopping by for a snack and get something to go. When it is cool outside, it is nice to sit outside on the patio and enjoy your food For a small store, they do have a lot of varieties. they have tons of alcohol choices, bake meals, snacks and their sandwiches. Sandwiches are not bad, pretty basic, but enough to fill your hunger.

Bacon egg cheese on bagel. $6

My husband and I were very happy that this place was open early for breakfast on a Monday morning. In a small town where nothing seems to open until 10 or 11, this market was open at 7am, and by the time we arrived at 8, they were serving made to order breakfast sandwiches. I ordered a BEC on a bagel which came out to about $6. The egg and bacon were made fresh. It was the good kind of griddle bacon too! Delicious! My husband had a biscuit sandwich which was good, but not filling. Again, everything made to order, but I suggest getting a bagel if you want a bigger portion than the biscuit. We sat outside and watched people slowly trickle in. This really is the only place, in town, open early on a Monday!

New cheese & charcuterie boards. $45. Very filling. Serves 3-4 or two entire meals for 2. They go fast. Call ahead if you really want one.

This market is certainly an eye-catcher in the town of downtown Blowing Rock. With it's old gas station looks, everyone is surprised to find out the Blowing Rock Market offers a great selection of local craft beers, food items (fresh sandwiches, frozen, and snacks), and more. Staff here are always nice, and you're certain to find a food item or beverage (or other product you need) while staying in town or even just shopping. Don't forget to try their delicious on-tap kombucha, when available. And make sure you ask for a cheese and charcuterie board to go if you're ever wanting a fun picnic in the park, overlooking the mountains, or the nearby lake. The company's Instagram account is worth a follow as there you'll be able to see there most recent creations (aka, making sure there's enough charcuterie boards left before selling out!)

Egg & swiss cheese sandwich

Cute market in downtown Blowing Rock! They sell breakfast sandwiches, lunch sandwiches and beer, wine, some local grocery products and baked goods. The Saturday morning I visited they had a banjo music circle outside and picnic tables outside. It was wonderful! The breakfast sandwich I tried was egg and cheese on sourdough bread. It was okay, but the atmosphere was good with the music and the relaxing vibe. We parked and walked to the market on Main Street. I suggest that because street parking is hard to find. They have bottled water too.

Not so grilled cheese...
Heather T.

Ordered a grilled cheese and there was nothing grilled about it. More like melted cheese on soft bread. So, disappointed! This place is better for their grocery and beer/wine selection vs. deli food.

Yucky veggie sandwich

This is a $10 sandwich. Old, flavorless, rough-chopped veggies, a thin layer of cheese, low quality bread, and ZERO condiments or sauce. Would have taken it back if we weren't miles down the road when I opened it. Subway does a better job than this bougie "gourmet" market. Gave 2 stars instead of one because it is a nice spot to get a beer and sit outside, but this sandwich is a real disappointment.

Granted I love anything eggplant haha but these fries were crispy on the outside and soft inside; well-seasoned and I loved the garlicky aioli. - Goat Cheese and Pancetta Salad: A close second favorite- it was so tasty (had spring mix, crispy brussels, pancetta, pepitas, goat cheese, fig vinaigrette), had a great combination of sweet/savory, and lots of texture. - Mushroom Marsala: This was the best pasta dish imo. The mushrooms & sauce provided a lot of umami and the pappardelle had good texture. For all the pasta dishes, a bigger piece of bread would have been appreciated to slop up all the delicious sauce haha. - Pasta Rossa: The sauce was tomato-y and creamy, but wish there could have been more/bigger meatballs and that a different pasta than pappardelle was used. - Chicken Alfredo: Honestly, I'm not a big fan of Alfredo at baseline bc it's usually too rich for me but my sister liked it. The fettuccine had nice texture and chicken was cooked well. - Duck Sliders: I probably would not recommend this dish- I think the duck is hard to appreciate in slider format (kinda just tasted like chicken lol). The chips were a bit soggy too. Lots of free parking available. Ambiance is really nice, modern and lots of natural light. Service is friendly and fast. 7.5/10 would recommend!

He checked on us often, made sure everything was perfect, and went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable. It's not always easy dining out with food allergies, but Lily's made us feel welcome and safe. The outstanding service and genuine hospitality mean we'll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

The house made potato chips are something special, and at their best (in my opinion) dipped in the house made vegan ranch (vegan Lily's sauce is a close 2nd). Today we got teriyaki tofu nuggets, Buffalo tofu nuggets (both came with the chips and a dipping sauce) along with fried pickles (we got extra dipping sauces). It has a beach/tiki bar vibe inside (albeit slightly dark) with tables and a few parking spots out front. Dog friendly (outside) and even brought a dog bowl of water. We just love this place. Friendly service. Hospitable atmosphere with clear values (pro LGBTQ, anti-racism, etc.). Reasonable prices.

Being that was July 3, no one would even talk to us to get these documents signed before the holiday. We brought our documents dd with us to NC in hopes we would find some kind, willing, souls to help us close on one house. Over the weekend, I reached out to a few notaries, realtor offices, and even attorneys. That have us a few leads but nothing definite. My dad recommended we try Fred's- "they have and do everything! As parents usually are, he was correct. We dropped in on Sunday and were told to come back Monday during working hours. We arrived mid day Monday and the manager stopped what he was doing to notarize our documents, even asking those managing the front desk to sign as witnesses. We are ever so thankful this is done! To top things off, they even have a UPS drop off location which saved us a trip to Banner Elk. Thank you SO very much for your kindness and expertise! Now we have a great story about how we sold our FL house in Beech Mountain, courtesy of Fred's!
