The Fireplace Restaurant in Weaverville

In the the sweet little town of Weaverville, N.C. right on Weaverville Highway, just about 8 miles north of Asheville is a log cabin restaurant I had been wanting to try for awhile. I had the impression that this was a place of country home-made food and I wasn’t disappointed. We decided to give it a whirl for a Sunday Brunch and got there just a little before they were ready to serve (we were hungry!). The restaurant is very rustic inside with a huge stone fireplace. We asked the hostess to sit by the fireplace and she gladly put us right by the fire. It was a bit chilly that day and the warmth really felt good, not to mention the ambiance.Â
The buffet offered pot roast, turkey and dressing, ribs, ham and an assortment of vegetables and, my favorite, mashed potatoes! All the food was very good, but let me tell you about the rolls & biscuits – To Die For!!! The rolls were hot and practically melted in your mouth, sort of like a Krispy Kreme donut . . . without the sugar. If I had known the rolls were that good in advance, I would have had very little else! Seriously!! I wonder if they sell them as take out? I’ll have to check on that. Anyway, we definitely had our fill of the buffet trying to keep some room for dessert. There was carrot cake, brownies, cheesecake, chocolate mousse cake and on and on.   After sampling just about everything, and knowing we might have to be rolled out of the restaurant if we stayed any longer, it was time to leave. Lo and behold around the corner was the salad bar that we totally missed out on, Darn-it. 
 
As a buffet goes, this was more of a country food extravaganza, no gourmet high falutin’ frills, just plain, simple good tasting food, and plenty of it!
