Beautiful little gem of a shop where you're able to test most every honey related product there…read morebefore buying. From honey, to honey butter, and sauces. It's a quiet little shop that has a lot to offer. My favorites were the cranberry and vanilla creme! The kind woman working was very welcoming and informative of the different uses for some of the flavors we inquired about.

Originally I visited The Honey Hole with a friend from West Jefferson. Since then I have gone back…read moreseveral times, and my friend offered to purchase honey-related items for me when they are in the area as well. We are in love with the honey butters and also the honey flavors. The shop owner is so helpful and personable. She even offered to gift wrap the honey butters as I was getting them early for Christmas, and she also packaged them for traveling for me - such thoughtful customer service! Over the past 40-50 years West Jefferson has certainly changed, but this small town has so much to offer visitors to see and do! Don't miss a visit to the Honey Hole and West Jefferson!

A beautiful country ham at a great price…read more Sent one to my sister and brother-in-law, who are discerning foodies. They said it was magnificent. They have not cooked it, and are eating it like prosciutto Update: We had some on our visit in February - delicious!! We ate prosciutto -style (just like David Chang/Momofuku recommends, as it turns out) - lovely flavor and texture. My brother-in-law has already called them to order one for his folks. He was shocked t how low the price was. The company is very nice - I had problems ordering from their site ( my Mac computer + home network problems = kicked off the site right after payment), so they contacted me to make see if I really wanted three orders for the same item sent to the same address. It arrived lickety-split to Denver.

Absolutely love Ashe County Cheese in West Jefferson!…read more It's a locally owned gem with a fantastic variety of locally made cheeses, plus so many other great local products to discover, including wine, spices, candy, and more. The store is centrally located, making it an easy stop while exploring the area, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. You can really feel the local pride here, and it's wonderful to support a locally owned business while finding delicious, unique products. Definitely a must-stop when you're in West Jefferson!

Was in town for work and this was a constant recommendation from the locals…read more They have any cheese you can think of made fresh in house. You can even visit the processing plant across the street and watch it being made. They have such a variety of everything but especially cheeses. They also carry lots of wine and goodies that would be great on a charcuterie board. The staff was very helpful and the store was clean. If definitely visit again.

They had a decent amount of options from turnovers to cookies to focaccia. I ended up getting a cherry turnover. It's like not the best pastry I've ever had, but it def satisfied my sweet tooth.

Tucked just before the main streets of Jefferson, Smokey Mountain BBQ is a popular…read moredrive-through-only spot. We went around 6PM and it's evident from the line that nearly wraps around the building that it's a local fave! Fortunately, service is quick and efficient, they seemed to keep the line moving so we didn't wait long. Bonus points!! there's a covered patio for those who prefer to sit and eat on-site after receiving your food from the window. Portions are modest, and sauce options are limited to a traditional vinegar and a tomato-based version. The sides shine, I enjoyed the sweet potato fries and the rich, creamy mac and cheese. Overall, Smokey Mountain BBQ is a solid, no-frills dinner option that does regional comfort food right.

The food here is very good. I enjoyed the salmon over cucumber salad. My friends enjoyed the…read morepimento burger with green beans then had high praises for it. I would say one word of caution is that the menu is slightly inconsistent in calling out ingredients. They did remake the salmon for us, but the menu did not state that it had nuts when other menu items clearly stated nuts - and I have an allergy. The salmon sauce had almond sprinkled on top or perhaps added to the sauce itself. I had looked the sauce up on my phone and how to make it because I do a lot of my own cooking and I wasn't familiar with it. The recipes I was finding online never mentioned nuts and I was not expecting that. According to the kitchen, the sauce traditionally comes with nuts, but it wasn't stated on the menu and I couldn't really verify that by looking up recipes. I'm still giving them four stars because they made it right by remaining without nuts. The menu does have a good variety for people with eating restrictions around gluten.

Yesterday was really hot, and we had originally planned on eating somewhere else. Since we had our…read moredog with us, outdoor seating was a must, and the first spot just didn't have a great setup. We randomly parked beside this restaurant and noticed their outdoor patio, which looked absolutely inviting. It was shaded, relaxing, and best of all, not crowded. My wife had the burger and fries, and the burger was actually cooked to the temperature she ordered and seasoned really well. I had a toasted chicken salad sandwich, which was excellent. They also made me an amaretto sour, which was fairly priced and hit the spot. Overall, we would 100% go back. The servers were fast and efficient, everyone was extremely friendly, and they were especially kind to our pup. That always wins us over. To those about to nosh, we salute you!
