Our absolute favorite restaurant in town. Definitely make a reservation! Great sushi and has other vegan/vegetarian options as well. We recommend their cocktail specials and Stephanie's favorite is the grapefruit gimlet.

Best wood-fired pizza in town (Stephanie). The wait usually isn't too long for a table and the pub fair is really tasty. We like but don't love their beers (sorry Lost Province!).

This brewery has either inside or outside seating with a different menu for each. Both are great! We love sitting outside on the picnic tables, especially if there is live music. The beer is pretty good here.

If you are here in the summertime, get some tubes and float down the New River. If you don't want to buy a tube, you can go with one of the places in town where you can rent your tube and they will drop you off and pick you up!

Easy/moderate hike with breathtaking views. Take a photo on the hanging rock if you are feeling daring. Parking is on the Blue Ridge Parkway and usually gets crowded. We recommend bringing headlamps and arriving before sunrise, you won't regret it!

Sightseeing

Grandfather Mountain boasts their "mile high" bridge with gorgeous 360 degree views. They also have a small area with native animals and a gift shop. You can also access the Grandfather Hiking trail (difficult) from the parking lot. We think it's a little pricy but worth it if the weather is clear and you've never been before.
