It's easy to know why this restaurant has been a Banner Elk staple for so long. It has maintained high standards of food and service throughout the years. Not a chain (Banner Elk doesn't allow them), this family owned and run steakhouse is popular with locals and seasonal visitors, along with tourists and Lees-McRae students and their parents.

Not a fan of salad bars, but this one rocks and is loaded with everything! The food was very good, the server sweet but a bit aggressive in trying to take away our plates we were still picking on. Low end wines that are ok and dessert was just ok, the prime rib and blackened chicken were excellent.

First visit to Stonewall's, and we will return! Service and food was excellent,cooked to order, and impeccably served by Sean. We were relaxed for the entire meal, and made to feel very welcome. The surf and turf special (salad bar and dessert included) was just the right amont of food, and my husband's lobster bisque was excellent.

Walking into this place is reminiscent of a school cafeteria. Steaks are served on ice cold plates. They have box dinner type side dishes. When I ordered a soup and didn't like it, the brash waitress suggested that perhaps it wasn't "my taste". I will not be returning to this establishment.

Stonewalls has recently had some fine modifications done to add to the atmosphere. I have eaten here numerous times, the food is always fresh and this establishment is always kind and fair. This is one of the freshest steak houses I have ever been to. I am also very fond of the salmon piccata and the rice. I know the... More

What a delicious meal we had! We all selected items from the daily special list. My husband had the Frenched Pork Chops - delicious and cooked to order. My daughter and I both enjoyed the Surf and Turf. Steak was cooked to perfection but the shrimp were over cooked. The special included a soup or trip to the salad bar,... More

While on spring break, my husband and two children (13,11) stayed in Banner Elk. Stonewalls was a delicious steak and salad meal. Exactly what we were looking for after traveling all day and wanting a relaxing, filling, savory meal. A traditional salad bar - very fresh and well stocked and clean. Three of us each had a different cut of... More

The food was good and the service was on the same level, but the prices were a little high for what I expected in Banner Elk. I invited some friends to dinner and spend almost $150 by the end of the evening. The wine was excellent, and the food was very good. I just felt like the prices were not... More
