Best Restaurants in Boone, North Carolina | Eater Carolinas

"A mountainy, family-friendly bar with wood beams and a stone fireplace, specializing in indulgent pub grub. Signature items include the "Hot Damn" ham dip — described as a creamy, piping hot blend of Watauga County country ham, cream cheese, and toasted pecans (and fried saltines for dunking) — and hearty burgers with inventive toppings such as the gringo (a bison burger with avocado and salsa verde). Cocktails include creative mixes like the Surface Tension with coconut-washed rye, pandan, and orange honey." - Lia Picard
