Best restaurant in Banner Elk, North Carolina (NC) 2024

This was my first visit to Bodega kitchen. The smell when you walk in is divine. The bathrooms are clean and well stocked with toilet paper. Service was friendly but very slow. Lunch took about an hour. We sat for about 20 minutes before our order was taken. The server did apologize and comped our black bean soup. We also had the vegetable bowl and southwest salad with grilled shrimp. All of the food was delicious. The black bean soup was a generous portion and very good! Both of our main meals were enough food but seemed a small portion for the price. My husband got the beer on tap and he really enjoyed it. With tip our bill was a little over $50. One other little thing is that they use these small glasses for water. Overall will visit again because I hope the slow service was an anomaly. ~April

Great place for a date night. It was our first time being there and the waitress we had was awesome. The food was so good. Definitely a nice cozy place and well worth the hour drive. Definitely listen to reviews and get the fried deviled eggs. Also crab cake appetizer was phenomenal for my first time eating crab. The pork chop was better then the steak! Whatever sayce/gravy they use on it, it made the entire meal for me! If you are ever in the Banner Elk/Boone area, definitely give this place a try! ~Nicholas
