Welcome to Jackson County!

T hank you for taking the first step toward eating out in Jackson County. Our fifth annual dining guide should provide you with all the necessary tools to make an excellent choice for enjoying a meal in this beautiful place we call home. You are certainly in the right place to start your day with a brisk cup of coffee and a nice warm biscuit for breakfast. For lunch, you might want to sample some of the best barbecue this side of Lexington; followed by a mouth-watering farm-to-table dinner featuring pan seared trout and ice cold craft beer, both raised right here in the N.C. Trout Capital. Jackson County has a little bit of everything for any palate, just don’t forget to save room for ice cream, hand-crafted chocolate and cocktails afterward. Jackson County chamber member restaurants range from comfortably classy to extremely casual and all points in between. So get busy trying a few of our favorite spots and please tell them we sent you!
