Quaint little diner like Cafe. We stopped here after shopping and hiking. We all enjoyed our meals. The chicken and rice soup was perfect on the cool day. You order at the counter and pay, and when your food is ready, they'll bring it right to you. We sat inside. However, it's right on the river with lots of outdoor seating too! Bonus points, they have gluten-free buns!
Love The Highlands! I’m so glad they were able to have their new location as we used to go to their locations on Memorial Hwy and then in Chimney Rock. The food is great quality and so delicious.
I know they’re just getting started in the new location but I do believe they need a bit better lighting (warmer, dimmer bulbs, perhaps some wall sconces) and maybe some art on the walls (highland cows anyone or lake themed art?) but otherwise it’s a great meal at a good price if your looking for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The servers and staff are also very nice people! They have gluten free options like gluten free burger buns.
We've stayed here twice (last year and again this year). The rooms a very clean. The owners and the staff are so nice. The location is perfect. It's right on the river and walkable to everything. The Stage Coach restaurant is part of the Inn. The food is delicious. Most of all, I am gluten free out of necessity and they accommodated my eating requirements. They also have mini golf on the grounds and substantial parking. You won't be disappointed.
The food has always been excellent. It's just nice to sit, drink, eat and enjoy company here. My favorite place to eat in and around Lake Lure. They also do a fantastic job with gluten allergies. I can't say enough how much I love eating here!
