WHERE TO EAT AND DRINK IN BOONE FOR LOCAL FLAVORS

While we cooked some meals in the cabin, we still made room in our relaxing itinerary to experience some of the best Boone restaurants. We’re so glad we did, as with the emphasis on local, Boone has a fantastic Appalachian tale to tell through its food. 

While we did not get to taste test all the amazing places to eat in Boone NC, and surrounding areas, we gave it a good try and discovered the following top spots. 

Booneshine Brewery is located in East Boone and has a great communal feel with an outside patio area and large separate beer garden area with views. It’s perfect for families and pet owners!
