Highlands Supper Club Now Open in Highlands, North Carolina | Eater Carolinas

"Located next to the Trailborn Highlands hotel, the restaurant is nestled in a log cabin built in 1924 by Appalachian carpenter Joe Webb; the atmosphere is cozy with three fireplaces, local memorabilia, and plenty of wood beams. Executive chef Aaron Kulzer created the menu with Trailborn’s director of food and beverage, Andrew Sherman; dishes include a Southern cioppino with Carolina shrimp, pecan trout with oyster mushrooms, fried chicken, and deviled eggs topped with blue crab, while brunch offers eggs Benedict, a wagyu burger with bacon onion jam, and shrimp and grits. “When creating this menu, our team poured our hearts into showcasing the soul of Southern cuisine with the intention of highlighting the vibrant ingredients, world-class purveyors, and the deep-rooted traditions synonymous with the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Appalachian region,” says Kulzer, “A true Southern menu isn’t just a meal; it’s an invitation to step into a world grounded by bold, deep flavors and rich history. From our crispy fried chicken to our velvety shrimp and grits, each dish tells a story of warmth and hospitality. And with the restaurant tucked inside a historic log cabin, the setting itself adds something truly special to the experience. We want our guests to embrace the culinary traditions of the South and for every bite to transport them to a place where comfort meets great food.” The restaurant is open for dinner Wednesdays through Saturdays from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., and for brunch Sundays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m." - Erin Perkins
