Re: Favorite High Country Eatery
Pepper's is great, not only for the Jean Lawson but the fried mushrooms as well. For a good old burger, fries and shake you can't beat the Hilltop Drive In on 421.

Love that spiced sirloin. My wife won't go to Boone without getting one!AAPP1 wrote:Portofino's Spiced Sirloin is something I have to have once a year. A new must have as well is the cookies from Appalachian cookie company. Snicker Doodles are so good.
When will "It's better than what we had" no longer be good enough for App State?

Re: Favorite High Country Eatery
A JL with rings, drink, and tip will set you back $15. A little much imo but I understand the nostalgia of it if you aren't in Boone often.BlueCreekAppFan wrote:Boone tradition since 76? PEPPERS! Jean Lawson Special with onion rings.

Re: Favorite High Country Eatery
So many to chose from:
Breakfast: Boone Bagelry or RIP Boone Drug (downtown)
Lunch: A Johnnie Dee at Macadoos or the Buffalo Chicken Wrap at RIP Klondike
Dinner: Portofino (Spiced Sirloin pasta)
Nice Dinner: Bistro Roca or The GameKeeper
Some of yall are naming things I've never heard of. I need to start staying over night on Game Days just to try some of these new places.

Re: Favorite High Country Eatery
It's a moving target for me but lately it is Savannah's Oyster House on Sunset in Blowing Rock. It's been excellent and I really, really hope it is successful and stays around. It's in the old Mellow Mushroom place.

Re: Favorite High Country Eatery
If we're talking Boone suburbs nothing beats the Painted Fish in Banner Elk.
Re: Favorite High Country Eatery
Haven't been to Boone in at least 7 years so some of these are quite dated:
Dinner: Twigs (Thanks Saint for recommending years ago)
Peddler
Breakfast: Boone Bagelry
Dan'l Boone Inn
Lunch: Foot long Chili Dog with Slaw @ Hilltop Inn at near Vilas
Woodlands
Hot Dogs at the Trolly Stop (loved walking from Raley at lunch)

Re: Favorite High Country Eatery
The Restaurant at Gideon Ridge is now the finest dining in the area.

Re: Favorite High Country Eatery
Eseeola has one of the best filets I've ever had in my life, and I've had many from many different restaurants throughout the U.S.A. It's a pretty penny to eat out there, but well worth it. Men must wear jackets/blazers.

Re: Favorite High Country Eatery
Our post game ritual from my time in Boone was to always hit up Black Cats. Also spent a lot of time at Town Tavern back when that was what it was.
