Stonewalls , Banner Elk, NC 828-898-5550
Strengths: Overall, the food was good. There aren't millions of choices of places to eat in Banner Elk, though. Steaks are the preferred menu item.
Service: OK.
Could use Improvement: The lobster bisque was bad... real bad. They would have done much better with it if they had bought canned. Note to self: when in a steak house far from the sea, don't order seafood.
Turn Off’s: None.
Handicap Accessibility: Good
Parking: Poor, but try the post office parking lot (when they are closed) .
