Now, you can fill up on fresh mountain trout, soup beans, and hoecakes and wash it down with local farm beer or fresh rosé. We explore the roots of Appalachian food and beverage culture and re-create it in our kitchen by preserving and reviving ingredients of our local heritage.Join us at The Speckled Trout for a taste of locally sourced regional fare by Chef Michael Foreman and warm hospitality that will keep y'all coming back!

The Beacon Butcher Bar is a labor of love from Tina Houston, owner of Reid’s Café & Catering Co., established here in the High Country since 1999. The Beacon is located in the heart of Boone, NC adjacent to the iconic Water Wheel. Just as we value beautiful ingredients in our catering, The Beacon adheres to a similar message. In the kitchen, we value the fashion from scratch details as small as the aiolis and dressings we use, to the housemade desserts and pastries, cured and smoked meats, and naturally fermented pickles. Behind the bar, we strive for innovation and discovery from our unique and inspiring cocktails. We work within the seasons of the Blue Ridge to present a deliberate and thoughtful menu. We love the intentional, the specific, the well-cared-for. Respectively, our market offers a unique selection of local goods and treats. From our featured cloister honey to housemade single origin chocolates, we present the craft and exceptionality of local, artisanal talent.

Cool mountain air. A crackling wood fire. The sizzle of the grill. And the spark of great conversation. Those aren't just the ingredients for a great meal. They're the soul of Firebirds Wood Fired Grill, a restaurant dedicated to the world's oldest method of cooking - and the most satisfying. Inspired by the bold flavors and tradition of live fire cooking in the West, the first Firebirds called itself a "Rocky Mountain Grill." But not so long afterward, the restaurant changed its name to Firebirds Wood Fired Grill. Because at its core, what makes Firebirds' scratch cooking so delicious - and inspires everything from the menu to its hospitality and décor - isn't a place. It's the fire itself. Firebirds has come a long way since the early days. Not only is the menu broader, the ambiance more polished and the value greater than ever, today Firebirds Wood Fired Grill serves guests across the country. But some things never change - like Firebirds' commitment to quality and freshness and its passion for introducing guests to the primal pleasure of meats, seafood and vegetables grilled over a blazing wood fire. From Firebirds' locally sourced hardwoods to its unique cooking techniques, everything Firebirds does honors the power of the flame. Because wood fired grilling brings people together. And its bold flavors set Firebirds apart.
