Comfort Food Restaurants near Newland, NC

“Me and my friend stopped in based off a recommendation from the general store up the way. We were looking for a local place to eat. The food did not disappoint. Was able to customize one lunch plate to feed both of us.(we were traveling and did not need to take to go boxes) the crab cakes and the veggie sides were so good. I would totally eat here again when I’m in the area.“

“We've visited here several times over the past two years. Our most recent trip to the cabin we visited here twice...both times for lunch and we didn't get the same experience. The first day of lunch was so wonderful. The service was beyond wonderful. There is a menu and you can also order the Salad Bar and there is a Pizza buffet. The prices are what is so amazing here. Great country cooking at even better prices. Our son's pizza buffet I think was $8 or something like that which we thought was great. He only eats cheese pizza and they brought one out almost immediately so he was happy. I ordered the 3 vegetables with bread and it came out with a delicious parker house type roll and the veggies were just really great. My son absolutely loved his pizza. The woman waiting on us was so on top of things and kind that she really made this entire experience for us. For our family of 3 we were so happy with the prices, food and service that we knew we would be back during our trip. A few days later we decided lets go again for lunch and grab a pizza to go for dinner later on! Wow was this experience different. We were seated right away but didn't get drinks for about 20 minutes. Then our server (who we think might have been the owner as she had a lot of things on her to dos) finally came back 15 minutes later to get our orders. I decided to keep it simple b/c I was hungry and ready to eat by this time. I ordered the salad bar this time so I could go right up. My husband ordered a lunch and salad bar. Our son (surprise lol) ordered the pizza buffet. There wasn't any pizza up when he ordered so he hung out while we got our salads. 25 minutes later 1 pizza was delivered to the buffet with about 4 people waiting to grab a slice. Another was delivered about 15 minutes later and then we didn't see any more. We had already told the server that we were going to order a pizza to go as well but after we finished all of our food she still had not come back over to the table. Empty drinks sat as did we for another 15 - 20 minutes. I even called to see if we could just order a to go from our table but the phone just rang and rang. Finally she came back, we placed our order, paid our tab and then waited another 15 minutes for the pizza. It was a long lunch for a 10 year old and two disappointed parents who just wanted to leave. After such a great experience the first day and totally different just days later I almost didn't write a review. But I feel like the 2nd visit just couldn't be the norm currently. We've visited so many other times for breakfast and lunch in the past and all of those visits really were like our first on this trip. So for that reason I'm sticking to a 4 star review (if I just based it off the first lunch I would have given them a 5 star all day). I wish I knew the servers name b/c she was just amazing and so kind.“
