Best wood-fired pizza in town (Stephanie). The wait usually isn't too long for a table and the pub fair is really tasty. We like but don't love their beers (sorry Lost Province!).

This brewery has either inside or outside seating with a different menu for each. Both are great! We love sitting outside on the picnic tables, especially if there is live music. The beer is pretty good here.

Sightseeing
Grandfather Mountain boasts their "mile high" bridge with gorgeous 360 degree views. They also have a small area with native animals and a gift shop. You can also access the Grandfather Hiking trail (difficult) from the parking lot. We think it's a little pricy but worth it if the weather is clear and you've never been before.
