In the “middle of nowhere” North Carolina…you’ll find the Hillbilly Hide-A-Way Restaurant serving up some of the most delicious “family style” cooking anywhere in the state! Open since 1978, this hidden gem near Walnut Cove feels like eating at grandma’s house. You sit down hungry and food keeps coming on shared plates until you say stop. Fried chicken, ribs, ham, green beans, apples, and mashed potatoes are crowd favorites, and there are delicious desserts (cost extra) if you leave room. The log-cabin dining room feels warm and old-timey, with live music on some nights. The owner is often there greeting guests. Hillbilly Hide-A-Way Restaurant is only open Friday from 4:00–9:00 PM, Saturday from 3:00–9:00 PM, and Sunday from 8:00 AM–8:00 PM, making it a perfect stop for supper or a full Southern Sunday meal...just be sure to plan ahead and bring an appetite!
