Banner Elk Cafe Tavern

We stopped in for lunch. My wife ordered the fried mountain trout, and I ordered the same except grilled. They were very delicious and very full serving.

Quick service. Nice workers. It was a little confusing because you can order from two different menus because they have two kitchens there but none the less, it was still a great experience.

This place has that upper mountain charm! The food is exquisite and you get to choose from 2 different menus. Big variety of spirits also. So many different cake slices to choose from and they are mouth watering. Price ranges from $10-$30per person and for how much food you get its worth every penny.The staff is fast and friendly and the place is very clean. Best place for a first timer in Banner Elk or anyone visiting. Tried the Salmon bowl (Which is beautiful), The grilled pork chop with goat cheese and pepper jelly, lobster risotto and fried green beans and the kids cheese burger and fries. Seriously..the food is delicious! 5 out of 5!

My wife and I ate here 2 days in a row and the food is beyond fantastic!! The unique food choices are amazing and the taste of our of this world. And all this at unbelievably good prices. We will be coming here every time we visit Banner Elk in the future!! We absolutely loved it!!

Our server was a sweet girl and did all she could but the food was terrible. It all started with our coffees and hot cocoa that were cold. The French dip 's meat was rubber. The ham and cheese croissant was ok and the bruschetta was passable.
