Mountaineer - Maggie Valley

I decided to visit this restaurant after reading online that it was pet-friendly, and since I had my dog with me. It had been a stressful day and I was in need of some comforting food. I arrived during a slow time when they weren't too busy, which was a relief because I didn't want my dog to bother anyone. I was expecting to be seated outside, but they offered me a table inside, saying it was too cold outside even with the dog. They were very accommodating to my furry companion. The food was delicious and I had trouble deciding what to order. The server mentioned they had a small amount of homemade chicken and rice soup left, so I ordered it and it was absolutely delicious. The server only charged me for a cup portion since it was the last of it and she didn't expect there to be so much. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. The food is fantastic, the atmosphere is cozy, and the service was outstanding. I'm grateful for finding this place.

The food at The Twisted Spoke was so delicious that I forgot to take a picture as I devoured it. However, I did capture a picture of the Pumpkin Cobbler dessert! The atmosphere was excellent and our server, Lee, was fantastic. I highly recommend The Twisted Spoke; it is not just a biker bar but a fantastic restaurant with incredible views.

Quite possibly the best lobster roll I've ever had. And I've spent years visiting seafood festivals along the New England coastline. Sweet people, in a location with breathtaking mountain views, vintage hard-wood flooring in a woodsy lodge with an old-fashioned roadtrip/foodie bar atmosphere. Beer list and billiards table included. This is a must for those looking for a welcoming stop along the road trip of life. Ample parking available. Watch for Elk crossing nearby!

The location was beautiful, the atmosphere was laid back, and the food was delicious. The service was friendly. Only negatives were: it was hot, there was no ac, and there was only 1 ceiling fan inside. We forgot our to-go box with a full sandwich and half the fries in it (literally like $15+ worth of food) and realized it before we got to the front door but by the time we turned around to get it they had thrown it out. Wish they had taken the time to see if we had left beforehand. So don't forget your to-go box!

Had to come try this place after all the raves online. Definitely love the food! The avocado ranch is literally finger licking good. The menu is limited probably because they sell out so fast! Highly recommend getting up there and trying this place before word gets out and you can’t get a seat. Yes they are dog friendly! One of my many favorite things about them! If you’re in a group take one vehicle because parking is limited.
