Stackhouse - Mars Hill

Great food, the second time eating there both times was amazing. On a Sunday evening where it was busy and on Wednesday at 5:00, when I think is near a least busy time. The food portions are quite large and the staff was polite and made the order easy. Try her chili cheddar bacon fries for an appetizer

So we stopped on the way to Unicoi and were blown away! The food was amazing and the portions excellent. We make the trip to the Mars Hill of Unicoi just to get our stackhouse repair from now on!

Great atmosphere, even better food, taste was amazing and also looked amazing. I was told by Gentleman the next table that the beer on the tap is some of the best, we don't drink beer, but I thought I would mention

We had a delicious lunch at the Stackhouse restaurant. They have a good selection of grill, burgers and other items. And they have a wide range of local brews. I ordered from the children/seniors menu and got two Brisket Slider with a side salad. They were delicious and filled me. My wife had the BLAT a bacon, salad, avocado and tomato sandwich, which was very delicious. Check the schedule for the music at the evenings.

This was a very pleasant surprise for a meal while traveling through Mars Hill, just 5 minutes off the interstate. The staff is very friendly. They seemed short staffed, like many places, so be patient with them. I have eaten here twice now and enjoyed the food overall. The Appalachian Cheesesteak was fantastic. I really enjoyed the onion rings as they are obviously hand-made fresh with a light batter and big chunks of onion. (more on that later) The fries are also on-point, they are between a shoestring fry and a typical fry size, and crispy. The second time there was a special on smoked ribs; moist, tender, fall off the bone perfection. There is a good selection of local beers and cider on tap as well. The areas for improvement, and the lack of 5 Stars is the consistency. I was really looking forward to those onion rings the second time around, but unfortunately they were over-battered and very greasy. They were much busier the second time, and I noticed there was an additional person helping in the kitchen. This could account for it. My suggestions for anyone on a first time visit: If coming from the interstate, Go past main street, (GPS will tell you to take a right); take a right on College St. There is better 2 hour parking, and you're not parking directly on Main St. 1 minute walk around the block to the restaurant. If you like sweet, thick, Memphis style bbq sauce; bring some with you. The sauce here is more South Carolina, vinegar style. I know a lot of people enjoy that style, but not I. The meat itself is cooked to perfection with good spices, I just did not enjoy the sauce options. I'll definitely be a repeat customer.
