I'm sure what they had was very good based on the other food we ate. We passed - It's not really that we had a problem with that, we're just not big dessert eaters to begin with, so unless it's extra special, we usually pass. We inquired about desserts, and if they had any specialties, and were told that all of their desserts weren't made there and were purchased outside of the restaurant. We highly recommend this one.įor entrees, we ordered the Crab cakes sandwich and the Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken Wrap. The strawberries were ripe and fresh, and just delicious. Very well done, and served with a strawberry dressing on the side. Next, we tasted their Strawberry Spinach Salad with Goat Cheese, and honestly, this was incredible. We ended up starting off with some simple drinks, a local beer they had on tap, and a wine. We did ask our waitress for some recommendations, and she was very helpful, offering up some great options. The menu and number of items available are a bit overwhelming. They pretty much offer anything you could want from sandwiches to pecan trout, ribeye steaks, and even Korean BBQ! We took an extra long time to decide what we wanted, as you really need it to look over everything.
Added to our bucket list for a future visit. The Cafe offers breakfast as well, and while we weren't able to try their breakfast, we've heard it's fantastic. But that is due to it actually being two separate restaurants, one that specializes in sandwiches, burgers, and salads, and another that is Italian. They even have a fire pit area and heated decking areas with comfortable tables and chairs.īy far, Banner Elk Cafe has one of the largest and most comprehensive menus we've ever seen for this type of restaurant. We were actually pretty surprised at how large their outdoor eating area was. The Cafe is a casual restaurant, offering good food, and both indoor and outdoor seating.
