We explore the roots of Appalachian food and beverage culture and re-create it in our kitchen by preserving and reviving ingredients of our local heritage.Join us at The Speckled Trout for a taste of locally sourced regional fare by Chef Michael Foreman and warm hospitality that will keep y'all coming back!

The Beacon Butcher Bar is a labor of love from Tina Houston, owner of Reid’s Café & Catering Co., established here in the High Country since 1999. The Beacon is located in the heart of Boone, NC adjacent to the iconic Water Wheel. Just as we value beautiful ingredients in our catering, The Beacon adheres to a similar message. In the kitchen, we value the fashion from scratch details as small as the aiolis and dressings we use, to the housemade desserts and pastries, cured and smoked meats, and naturally fermented pickles. Behind the bar, we strive for innovation and discovery from our unique and inspiring cocktails. We work within the seasons of the Blue Ridge to present a deliberate and thoughtful menu. We love the intentional, the specific, the well-cared-for. Respectively, our market offers a unique selection of local goods and treats. From our featured cloister honey to housemade single origin chocolates, we present the craft and exceptionality of local, artisanal talent.

We came here for our anniversary dinner and it was so special. All of the staff were very attentive and personable (Atticus and Tonya). This has become a tradition for us to eat here and take the trip to Blowing Rock. What a culinary experience. Best food we've ever had.

At first glance the way the tables are placed, you feel you are in the lobby restaurant of a 3 star hotel but don't let the look deceive you. Although the bar is small it is pretty and serves great high end liquor drinks. The food is simple like charcuterie, burgers and breakfast food but delicious. The staff is friendly. I would go again.
