13 Best American Restaurants near Pilot Mountain

“I've been to JOLO at least half a dozen times and it has yet to disappoint. We did have to wait for our table following our tasting, but Samira (our tasting host) made sure we had a complimentary glass of wine to enjoy while we waited. The food was outstanding, and the wines keep getting better and better!“

“Food was pretty good. Atmosphere was awesome! Great vibe! Service lacked a great deal! We kept having to ask other waitresses to go and find ours because she would disappear and never come back to check on us. We were there almost 2 hours, which, was mostly trying to get the service part. I would stop here again to give it another try as the food was good and loved the atmosphere! I feel like we just got a crappy waitress, as the other staff was really great, from what we observed!“

“A very family friendly restaurant. The servers were great and made the place very inviting. We have 4 kids and in most places the dining experience can be hectic but even then other diners were not bothered by our kids and picked a played along with them. We will definitely be adding this place to our dining options from this point forward.“

“We have been going to John Brown's for several years. They are super consistent in the quality of food and super service. We drive about 40 miles to go there. We would be glad to drive 100 miles if we needed to to get the outstanding food and service. I recommend John Brown's to everyone!!“

“Called in an order to go for my wife. It was small, consisting of two side items, but the staff were friendly regardless. In the world of restraunts its not uncommon for folks not buying full meals to be treated inadequately but this was not the case at Trails End. Good food at a low price, this is offically a regular visit for me snd my family.“

“My husband and I visited PB Clark's for breakfast twice when we were in the area visiting our grandparents. Like other reviews say, PB Clark's is an old fashioned diner and like walking back in time. The servers greeted our grandparents by name, and we saw them do the same with others. This is a no-frills, locals spot and draws a country, mountain, crowd. Everyone knows everyone, and I'm glad we were with our grandparents who are locals. Otherwise, we stuck out as being "from off". I tried the two egg breakfast with cheesy grits and a biscuit. The eggs were cooked correctly, and the biscuits are large and fluffy. The grits were too runny for me and I would not order them again. For a breakfast side, order the hash browns. Everything is reasonably priced and was great fuel for hiking at Hanging Rock State Park.“

“I love to find out of the way places to eat, fast food joints just all suck. My wife and I found this on a trip to attend a wedding. The food was good and the staff were extremely friendly. The other patrons were locals and also very friendly and inviting. If you find yourself in this area you could do much worse than eating here.“

“This is the best and most authentic Mexican dishes I've ever had. The drinks are phenomenal and the Tequila selection is out of this world !Wheelchair accessibility: It's a pretty large restaurant with great spacing between the seats .“

“The ice cream was great! The young man who waited on us at the second window was outstanding. The individual taking orders and money needs to listen more closely and brush up on their customer service skills. She barely spoke and looked at me like she hated me.“

“Porscha, Lesley and Kaiden (sp?) are awesome and took care of me, made me feel at home, and I got a great meal in the process. Everybody driving through this area needs to stop here and have a quick quick bite to eat. Thank you all so much and I hope y’all have a great day“

“Lovely meal, healthy options, very reasonable prices, cozy atmosphere.We were passing thru to VA and stopped for lunch. I loved my salad that came with a muffin. My husband loved his wrap. He wasn't a fan of the hot chips.We hope to stop in again in the future when driving thru the area.“

“Better than I remember from the last time I visited.When I went in 2021 I got nachos and cheese. Before you ask for microwave nachos, remember that they do NOT have the same kind of microwave you have at home. Their microwave is much more powerful than the one you have at home. I know because I asked for nachos in the microwave for 15 seconds, which overcooked the cheese.“

“The food is amazing if you don't like it you have no taste buds I would it there food all day every day if I could it has old fashioned stuff and the ice cream is good but the milkshake are better than McDonald's so that's why I think you should eat at Alex more often“
