Such a beautiful landscape and facility. Bluegrass musicians in the background. Plenty of food served family style to your group included buttermilk fried chicken, corn, greens, mashed potatoes and gravy, and chocolate strawberry shortcake for dessert. Not to mention plenty of wine to try. Very friendly, and immediately offered wine tasting right in the door. More

We had a great experience here and loved everything we ordered. We were expecting a more upscale menu, but were happily surprised with a more soup/sandwich type of experience. Everything was fresh and prepared perfectly. Huge portions also. We will definately go back! More

It would take awhile really, but suffice to say that if you haven't visited Sanders Ridge Winery in Boonville, NC, you better make it a future visit destination. We first discovered the Sanders Ridge Winery back in 2009... More

The Big Wood burger was topped with applewood smoked bacon, fried green tomato and Chef Starr's special pimento cheese....and it was fabulous! The BBQ, Brie and Bacon chicken sandwich was equally as impressive. We both LOVED our selections and neither of us would have thought that a sandwich would have been our choice for the evening! The Chardonnal topped things... More

After seeing Big Woods Restaurant featured on PBS - NC Weekend, we had to try it. We went for the food (might return for a wine tasting sometime) and we were extremely pleased. Fried green tomatoes and black bean and corn soup for starters were an absolute delight in every bite; BBQ Bacon, Brie & Chicken Sandwich and Crabcake Sandwich... More
