Best restaurants near me in North Wilkesboro, NC

The food and service were both outstanding. The Caprese with Burrata is a must-have, and the cheese spread on the pretzel roll was SO good. Filet mignon was very good, and I am going to have dreams about the scalloped potatoes. Also had Kahlua espresso cheesecake for dessert which was incredible. The steaks both came out cooked at least one step higher than requested, but we never mentioned it - they were still delicious. Manager dropped by to check on us and chatted for a couple minutes and was very nice. The decor is dated by about 30 years, if that’s something you care about. I don’t. The layout of the restaurant is very comfortable with room to move. We’ve been in Winston for seven months now, and this is the first restaurant that we could truly give a five-star rating to, and we can’t wait to go back - I’d go back just for the burrata alone.

Caroline provided excellent service and interacted with our grandson in a very kind manner. The food and beverages never disappoint at Speckled Trout.

Truly my favorite restaurant in the Boone/Blowing Rock area! Love the seasonal menu, the incredible service and fantastic atmosphere of the Gamekeeper. Everyone from valet to hostess to server to chef to management is consistently kind,professional and care that you have a great experience. Highly recommend! (The turkey pot pie was delicious!!)

The goat cheese and spinach artichoke dip were delicious.

Lovely venue …glad I had made reservations. Lunch was good but given name of restaurant, I was surprised @ menu choices (nothing French?). There were 4 of us and 1 was not a wine drinker so it was nice that they had beer on the menu. We enjoyed it & will go back.
