Trailhead Restaurant & Bar

This was the halfway point to meet up with our son to celebrate some family birthdays. We waited at the bar and had some drinks and an appetizer. (super excited that they had chambord and could make my favorite drink!) We put our name on the wait list and moved to a table closer to the time of his arrival. The staff was very accommodating in helping us make sure we had a table when he arrived. The place is super laid back with a lot of locals in to watch the game on a Saturday night. The food was all yummy and there were gluten free options for 2 family members. Everything is very reasonably priced. If you are in a hurry, don't go here, it is not a fast food restaurant. If you are looking to sit back and relax, this is the spot. We will be back!

Absolutely delicious food. Celiac approved. The gluten free buns are so good! Tacos are on corn tortillas. Lentil soup outstanding. Very reasonable prices (compared to Raleigh or Asheville). We will return!

Located in the charming town of Black Mountain that serves affordable food..all homemade from local ingredients. Many gluten free items. Super friendly staff . Seating indoors and out. Started with Beer Pickle Spears which are Ale Battered with homemade ranch. Very good..not too greasy. Also tried The Gully Creek which were 2 grilled Mahi Mahi seasoned with Jerk sauce topped with Mango Salsa,Caribbean Slaw and cilantro served with black beans and chips. Good portion size and very favorable. My wife had The Beacon Heights on gluten free bread which was basically a BLT. She thought it was one of the best Gluten Free sandwiches she had ever had! When driving to or from Asheville/Charlotte..stop in and enjoy some real good home cooking
