Foggy Rock was recommended to me by Gene Harrell (shoutout). The first night we were in Blowing Rock, we went to check it out around 5:30. At this time it wasn’t very busy. My first impression was that the atmosphere was pretty cool. Everything is very rustic looking inside: table tops made out of slabs of trees, barn wood on the walls, old style light bulbs, and great art on the walls.
Looking at the menu, they have an impressive selection of NC, national, and international beers, wines, and ciders. The food selection was pretty great too. I ordered a large house salad with grilled chicken and Alisa had the loaded mac and cheese with fried chicken (both pictured above). I dont know how excited you can get about a salad, I mean really. But, this was a good salad. It had arugula, cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers, craisins, and grilled chicken breast. The house ranch was very good. Alisa’s mac and cheese was crazy good. My water was pretty good too. It was cold and refreshing. Another note: the meal was very reasonably priced.
The next night, finding all the other restaurants in town to be packed, we went back to Foggy Rock. It was around 6. It was crowded, but there was seating. This night, I had a good Kolsch from French Broad Brewing to start the meal off. Ashley got a lemon drop. The result of this lemon drop was hilarious to all of us, mostly Ashley though.Food wise, I got a chicken philly and slaw. Alisa and Ashley had chicken penne pasta which looked really good. My philly was delicious. The house slaw was some of the best slaw I have ever had. Being a seafood and barbecue fan in Eastern NC, I have tried a whole bunch of slaw over the years.
If you are in Blowing Rock, go eat at Foggy Rock. You’ll enjoy it. If you don’t, you’re broken.
