you gotta TRY!
r 5 Gyro & Greek Salad
(Pete’s Place, 2460 E. First St.) —
Pete’s Greek roots shine through in the
lunchtime gyro (lamb or chicken) and
fresh, feta-loaded Greek salad. Dinnertime
brings hand-cut Angus beef — sirloin
strip, rib-eye and marinated top sirloin
with all the fixings. Hearty specials
include roast beef and meatloaf. Enjoy it
all with a cold glass of beer or wine in a
cozy cabin setting.
p 4 Breakfast Bonanza
(BumbleBee’s Café, 5850 Appalachian
Hwy.) — The buzz about this
local fave has always been the hearty
breakfasts — from Blue Ridge Eggs
Benedict to sugar-sprinkled French
Toast. But it’s hard to ignore lunch
options like a piled-high Philly cheesesteak
with sweet potato fries, or the
lasagna special that often sells out!
r 3 A Classic Reuben
(Serenity Garden Cafe, 657 E. Main
St.) — Offering great food in the heart
of Blue Ridge, this perennial favorite
opens early and serves late. Try the platesized
pancakes for breakfast. Then for
lunch, a classic Reuben or chicken salad
melt on sourdough pairs perfectly with
Warren’s homemade soups. Dinner
brings hearty American, Italian and seafood
entrees paired with inspired sides.
p 2 The 5 Buck Lunch
(DQ Grill & Chill, 380 Progress Cir.)
— The home of the Blizzard is also home
to the 5 Buck Lunch. Dig into a 3-piece
Chicken Strip, Deluxe Cheeseburger, KC
BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger or Crispy
Chicken Salad lunch with drink, fries
and small sundae. Be sure to stop by for
a quick and hearty breakfast of sausage
biscuits or biscuits & gravy, too.
