Restaurants near Elkin City Park

Ryan’s simply does it very well. Everything. Clearly our favorite go-to special dinner destination for many years.

We had a lovely lunch celebrating our 32nd anniversary at JoLo Winery on Dec 20, 2024. The service was beyond friendly! We were given a glass of their delicious Twinkles in honor of our anniversary! We had the crab dip appetizer which is so delicious! My husband tried a lunch special, beer battered halibut which was as light as air and melt in your mouth! This came with a side of crispy French fries. I had the chicken pesto flatbread which was also very tasty! I had a glass of their Devil’s Hill wine and I highly recommend this earthy red! We love the ambience and quality of this family winery! It is even more beautiful in the warmer times of the year!

This place is so special for my daughter and me. We try to get to Rooster’s as a treat on school breaks, girls day out’s and other celebratory moments. The hostess is always so welcoming and kind. She is one of the reasons we love the place so much. The food and drinks are outstanding as well.

We thoroughly enjoyed our wine tasting last night. Coleman, our server, was not only a delight, but very knowledgeable. We learned specific characteristics of each grape along with some details of their wine making process such as when the grapes are harvested and what type of barrel is used and why. Also interesting is how the wines were named. After our tasting, we enjoyed one of the featured wines with some delicious appetizers by the cozy fire. Perfect!

Lovely venue …glad I had made reservations. Lunch was good but given name of restaurant, I was surprised @ menu choices (nothing French?). There were 4 of us and 1 was not a wine drinker so it was nice that they had beer on the menu. We enjoyed it & will go back.
