I was amazed to find food this good in the middle of the park.
Pork BBQ sandwich was best I ever had. I swear. BBQ was mouth-watering, finger-licking good, served on artisanal bun, which just made sandwich absolutely delectable. Add to this sides of homemade mash potatoes and sweet corn, glass of cold ice tea, and beautiful mountain views from the table - yes, perfect stop before or after your hike!
There is also a gift shop in same area, cute.
We went up here for a hike and on the way back passed by the restaurant. It smelled good so I dropped the hint. We were seated very quickly.
We had coffee that was good, your standard diner coffee. Hot! I ordered the philly cheese steak and chips (these are so good, they were hot). The steak was pretty good, I've never had a real one but this hit the spot, a nice hearty roll, some lettuce, tomato and a mound of cheese and steak. My daughter had the grilled cheese and chips, the sandwich was pretty big and on nice bread. The mrs had the pork quesadilla, green beans, hush puppies and slaw. She said it was good, the pork was very tender. The beans had some nice ham chunks in there. The puppies were tasty, they reminded me of the ones from 42nd Street Oyster Bar in Raleigh. The slaw was good, too. Food prices are reasonable in my opinion, they were cheaper than I thought they'd be. Bill was 25.00 and change plus tip.
The service was nice, we were seated immediately and our drinks hit our table very quickly. Our server was nice and attentive, helpful but not overbearing.
If it's clear when you're here there is a great view. They is a porch out back with chairs on it you can sit on too.
For being 3/4 of the way up a mountain, the food here was damn good, and so was the view. Nothing more than your average diner fare - at least in New England anyway.
I had a Chicken Philly sandwich which was enormous and super cheesy. I highly recommend house chips rather than fries. Om nom.
I was traveling alone in the southeastern United States and a week to myself. I planned a trip to Mount Mitchell. I didn't realize there was a restaurant there and at the time I was hungry. I thought hey I will check it out. I was impressed. I ordered something simple like chicken tenders, they gave me some desert and it was delish! There was only one other group there and that was two ladies. I had a table to myself overlooking the mountains. After my meal I went out back and sat on a rocking chair and enjoyed the view. I would make a point to stop here if you can.
Review Source:I'm always grateful for this place when it's open. Â The food is simple fare--soup and sandwiches, coffee and desserts--but it's well prepared, and the servers are friendly. Â And man do you have a great view of the surrounding mountains! Â In addition to the food, it's good to have a place to go that's out of the weather. Â There are times when the weather at the park becomes very forbidding--temperatures drop, fog sets in and blocks visibility, and the wind whips up and becomes very bitter. Â At those times I'm so cold, uncomfortable, and hungry I would even eat at Arby's. Â The Mount Mitchell State Park Restaurant is a beacon to the weary traveler. Â It has attractive, large hewn logs for supports and rafters, wooden floors, and it has some very nice masonry work. Â The restaurant is open usually from late May through late October, Â 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
