Restaurants near Thurmond Chatham Wildlife Management Area

The Gamekeeper- you won't regret this evening if you are able to score a reservation. A gem of a spot nestled in the Boone/Blowing Rock/Banner Elk area. Don't be scared away by the "game" vibe. Even if this is not your favorite type of cuisine- you will be able to find something not too wild. There's aways an excellent fish dish, delicious salads and soups as well as all the game dishes. Pro tip: there's a bar area and an outdoor seating area that are first come, first served and the outdoor area is weather permitting.

Beautiful setting excellent service food is great the wine super superb. We will definitely go there again and again and again. 

The Beacon- great locally-owned place in Boone. You cannot go wrong with any item on the menu! In addition, you will love the art-work, the roaring fireplace on a cold night and occasional musicians providing the music for the night. Favorites- the bolognese, any fish special, Korean meatballs, the chicken dish. The bartender always crafts excellent cocktails- so be patient if it takes a few more minutes than you expect.

This is a quaint Italian treasure. It was our first time visiting this restaurant but it will not be our last.

We go there frequently as its just a few miles from our home. The food is great, the service is always a 5 out of 5 and Never been disappointed. If you want a great meal, great service in a upscale atmosphere, this is the place. Its a great place to celebrate an anniversary, birthday or just enjoy one of the best meals with a scenic view and the best chef’s and waitstaff. We go there usually weekly and never been disappointed.
