Its the Location!

There’s lots of really great restaurants close by. Here’s just a small sample of some that we like.

Blowing Rock Restaurants

For a full list of Blowing Rock restaurants

Storie Street Grill (Main St)

Best for: Celebrating with Friends/family. Consistently good. Whatever you order.

Wide menu of steaks, seafood, pasta and salads (Kids love the flat bread). Table service. Big covered porch in the back. *Pro tip: call ahead up to two hrs before you want to arrive to get on their seating list.

Six Pence English Pub (Main st)

Best for: Cool pub, grabbing a burger and a beer while catching a Premier League game in NC

Indoor/outdoor seating. Not real big, so go early to beat the rush. No kids menu, but you can be creative with appetizers - mac and cheese balls are to die for - and light items - chicken tenders for two are fantastic. Also classics like Shepards Pie, Bangers and Mash or just get a sandwich or salad and you’ll be happy. Great beer menu too, as you would imagine.
