The Beacon Butcher Bar is a labor of love from Tina Houston, owner of Reid’s Café & Catering Co., established here in the High Country since 1999. The Beacon is located in the heart of Boone, NC adjacent to the iconic Water Wheel. Just as we value beautiful ingredients in our catering, The Beacon adheres to a similar message. In the kitchen, we value the fashion from scratch details as small as the aiolis and dressings we use, to the housemade desserts and pastries, cured and smoked meats, and naturally fermented pickles. Behind the bar, we strive for innovation and discovery from our unique and inspiring cocktails. We work within the seasons of the Blue Ridge to present a deliberate and thoughtful menu. We love the intentional, the specific, the well-cared-for. Respectively, our market offers a unique selection of local goods and treats. From our featured cloister honey to housemade single origin chocolates, we present the craft and exceptionality of local, artisanal talent.

    Great service! Cocktails very nice. Oyster app was great and mains were delicious. Only problem was when they tried to convince me that cream curdling in my coffee was normal...say what? Other than that, we always enjoy Reid's. Best food in Banner Elk area!

    Great overall experience! Starting with the warm and welcoming location including the Charlie at the valet to being greeted inside and sat at our table to our wonderful server Shae. All employees were welcoming and greeted us. Great Team. The food was fantastic! Wish I was able to have the recipes for the Korean Meatballs and the Potato Soup. Delicious! The entrees and the desserts were also delicious. A very memorable night was made. Thank you to all that had their part in making it that way.
