    Entree Caesar salad & it was so good!
    Jen M.

    We spent the day in Blowing Rock & knew we wanted to have dinner here, based on the Yelp reviews. So glad we did!! Ashley was super friendly & took great care of us!! We had the Brussels for our appetizer & they were fabulous!! I had the entree size Caesar salad & my hubby had the smash burger with the habanero sauce on the side and both were delicious! We will definitely be back the next time we visit Blowing Rock!

    Tuna Ceviche with Avocado Aioli
    Manny G.

    Amazing service! With a great cozy ambiance, perfect for families. The food was very good we had the rib eye, tuna ceviche, lobster Mac n cheese and cookie skillet for dessert-it was amazing!!

    Very cute and quaint place. We came in for dinner (recommended to have reservations) . The staff was friendly and welcoming. We sat in the front room which looks like what would have been a dining room since this is a repurposed house. It was a little dark in that section which is why I gave 4 instead of 5 stars. Most tables needed to bring out their phones for extra lighting. They had a nice selection on the menu.

    Hellbender Bed and Beverage is such a charming find in Blowing Rock! The space is cozy and cute, with décor that feels polished and welcoming. Don't let the quaint outside fool you -- the menu is more upscale than expected. We had the chicken pot pie and smash burger, both delicious, and the cocktails were good-- my partner had the jalapeño margarita and loved it. Service was friendly, and the whole vibe made it easy to relax and enjoy. A great spot to add to your list if you're in town.

    Adult Grilled Cheese

    Lovely staff. Charming interior with slanted floors and a huge outdoor patio. I loved the adult grilled cheese-a veggie filled healthy version. Also the chicken chopped salad was huge and tasty. I would definitely come back here for a meal!

    Felix the Cat was bartending, and made for a great conversationalist! The burger was delicious and not ordinary by any means. The atmosphere is historic, quaint and cozy!! I highly recommend stopping at Hellbender on your trip to Blowing Rock.

    Room 6

    We escaped to blowing rock for a Sunday-Monday adventure. It was the whole family: me, the husband, baby , and dog. Yelp steered me to the Hellbender with the positive reviews! We stayed in room 6 as it was dog friendly. It's located upstairs at the end of the hall. The room in itself was great: large comfortable bed, up to date, and nice finishes like Keurig coffee. The bathroom had a nice tall shower and skylights. We all slept well which is not an easy task for this group. The room was dark and quiet at night time which was a major win! There is a parking lot with room for about 6 cars.. a big plus in this crowded town. We really enjoyed our complimentary smoothies- served after 8am. I made the reservation knowing biscuits weren't served on Monday.. bummed about that.. but will happily come back in another day to try. Great location. On a quiet side street about 3 minutes walking time to Main Street. Really friendly staff. Easy check in and check out- we were able to check in early which was a huge help! The only thing I could think of to improve our trip would be to have windows in the room that open. My husband and I tried to open windows to get fresh air after returning from a wet hike. We could not open the windows so the room did smell a little damp after some time.

    Everything!!! Lovely views…read moreService was excellent Food was well presented and very tasty! Be sure to bring a jacket or wrap as it can be a bit chilly!

    Our first time visiting the Blowing Rock area in 35+ years. I went to school in Boone many years…read moreago. In town for a few days for my birthday. We chose this restaurant for my birthday dinner - based on reviews. Reservations seemed to be required at least 10-14 days in advance and we still could only get 8:30. That's OK for us as we tend to eat later most of the time. It seemed we may have been the last party to arrive as the restaurant was clearing out shortly after we were seated. The Good: beautiful place and great views, at least for me. And although there was a table open at the window where we could both see views, we were placed at table closest to lounge area where my husband's back was to the window. The server was very nice, knowledgeable and mostly attentive. My husband's mentioned he would have liked a 2nd drink but after all the food was served (see below) we didn't see her again until the end. She did acknowledge my birthday when she initially greeted us. She recommended we each order a plate from each the appetizer, salad and entree menus and described one from each in great detail. The menu is very pricey and she is likely trained to make these suggestions. For example, on the appetizer menu, one scallop was $22. This is the one she recommended. Our garden salads and entree's were good - but not extraordinary. Husband ordered the tuna but was able to substitute scallops for the tuna ($55). I ordered the pork tenderloin ($48). I received it barely warm. The server promptly returned it to the kitchen to be heated. She was very kind about it. Once it was warm it was tasty. Was served with carrot puree that was excellent (seemed to have some brown butter and warm spices). Will likely try to recreate this at home. The Bad: There were 3 other tables being served in our area while we were there. I might guess they were locals based on the major difference in the level of service we received vs what the other 3 received. Don't get me wrong, as previously mentioned our server was very kind, knowledgeable and helpful. There was also a young man (dark curly hair) dressed in all black that spent a considerable amount of time at all 3 of the other tables when he brought their food out. He seemed to offer extensive explanations and have general conversations. He also brought out food, dropped them and was gone before we could even say thank you. There was a lady (straight dark hair in a sleeveless green dress with a name tag - (seemed to be a manager) that spent significant time at each of the other three tables as well as in the lounge area next to us with 2 couples there. Even after I had to return my cold food, she never stopped by to even say welcome/hello and make sure the plate was now satisfactory. My husband was a chef/proprietor/manager in restaurants for 35-40 years. He couldn't believe there was no check in after having to return a plate. One other table had a birthday and they brought her a dessert with a candle. I wasn't offered anything like that. Not sure if it is complimentary. We were only asked if we wanted to see a dessert menu and there was no other mention of my birthday except when we were first greeted. For the prices on the menu, I would think everyone would get great service and the manager would check on every table. Just left a bad taste in our mouths, not because the food was bad, but since we received average service when all around us received over the top service, I don't foresee returning and don't recommend them.

    Where to start my review of this truly horrible luncheon experience. In a town that is geared…read moretowards tourists (I'm a resident), and where one restaurant tries to outdo the other, this restaurant is sorely lacking, in everything from wait staff to food. What they do have is a lot of different types of beer. So I guess if you just want a beer with tasteless food then this is the place to go. My friend and I had lunch at around 12 noon. There were literally only four other tables with a few people. Our waiter came to take our order and basically gave the impression that he wishes he was anywhere other than in this restaurant working. Not even a smile or a hello how are you doing? He was truly uncaring and answered us in half syllables when we had questions about the menu. OK whatever -/so we ordered a burger and the turkey Gruyère sandwich. At $19 for a burger (most other places in Blowing Rock charge around 12) and another 19 for a turkey sandwich you would expect at least french fries or coleslaw as a side. The sides are potato chips ( how cheap can you get) or green beans?????? if you want anything else like a side salad or fruit you have to pay an additional five dollars. Literally every other restaurant in town that serves sandwiches or burgers gives you a choice of several sides that come with the meal . But here a hamburger with a side of fruit was $23. Our waiter never came back to check on us, but another waitress did come a couple times and filled my tea glass with ice and asked us how everything was and brought samples of the beer. Thank you to whoever that was. Wish you could have been our waitress. Because our waiter was so unconcerned about waiting on us that he apparently forgot we were there. After a half an hour of not receiving our food in a restaurant that was mostly empty, I flagged him down and asked him what happened to our food. He said he would go and check on it. He came back and said that ours was the next ticket up.!! so basically this waiter held onto our ticket and then got reminded that he had to actually put it in for us to get our food. So we waited another 10 minutes. The burger was so tiny you practically needed a magnifying glass to see it. Burned to a crisp because of course the waiter also forgot to ask how we wanted it cooked. We like it medium rare, and definitely not charred and well done. The Turkey sandwich with Gruyère was just some turkey slices and I'm assuming gruyere cheese which I couldn't really taste. The whole sandwich was definitely forgettable. So that's my review. I still gave the waiter 10% tip, which he did not deserve. He did not deserve a tip at all. Needless to say, will never be back at this restaurant again. Nor will I ever recommend it. Because lunch for almost $60 for two people with two disgusting sandwiches was obscene.

It was a cozy setting with a great atmosphere inside…read more However, they sat us on the closed-in patio by a window which ended up being a little too chilly. For my dinner I ordered the Wood Fried Brussels. The Brussel sprouts were not caramelized like I had at other places but it was very good and probably healthier. There were a lot of good flavors with the beets, candied pepitas, pickled peppers and the saffron aioli. I would recommend this dish. Others at the table ordered the Cobb Salad, classic wedge with salmon, & the Artisan pizza. Unfortunately, the salmon was not completely cooked so it went uneaten. Two people in our party ordered diet cokes which were fountain drinks. The diet cokes were not good because there was no carbonation. The pizza and Cobb salad were good. If you eat here during the colder months, I recommend asking for a seat inside. That seemed like it would have been a cozier experience.

Our waitress was so kind and was thoughtful in letting the girls order before us so their food arrived with the apps. A must go to while in blowing rock, you won't regret it!
