Restaurants near Unaka Ranger Station

This was our second time here just as good as the first.

Courses restaurant at Watauga Brewing Company is absolutely a new favorite! Locally sourced food, well prepared and pleasingly presented. White tablecloths, but not stodgy at all: a great combination of warmth and elegance. I had the small plate with fresh veggies and hummus, and it was absolutely delicious. I also loved the medium plate, which was a mushroom and sausage ravioli. The desserts were fabulous, too. I was treated to a taste of each fig-based creation, and they were both beautiful and scrumptious. This is a great place for people who really care about the quality of their food and where it comes from. It's a place where the food should be savored and appreciated. Hats off to the brewer and the chef. This may become a go-to destination for special occasions. Can't wait to see the fall menu! I will be back.

My husband and I had the Brussel sprouts and the chicken Tingo Tacos. These were listed as small plates..but both were ample portions and very tasty. We also got a craft beer and a hard cherry cider.. both good. We were celebrating our 40th anniversary..and our server brought us a delicious rich chocolate brownie-like bar and chocolate macaroon along with two glasses of champagne. Excellent service.

Eating outside on the terrace with its outstanding views makes Sunset Terrace a beautiful and special place. I always go there to celebrate special occasions.

Have been going for over 5 years and love the new location. The only thing that threw me off this time, was the $7 a piece bottles of water when I said I wanted just plain water. Aside from that, which I know to pay attention to for next time, everything else was great as always.
