Food & Drink

Andrews, North Carolina, and Cherokee County offer welcoming places to eat and drink. Menus in town lean toward Southern comfort food, barbecue, diners, and coffeehouses—browse current restaurant members on VisitAndrewsNC.com.

Local favorites include chamber-listed spots such as Maria’s Diner for breakfast and lunch, Frannie’s Kitchen for country plates and pizza, Dragon Ass Smoked BBQ for brisket and ribs, Farm House Diner just south of town in Marble, and Morning Fog Coffee & Eats for craft coffee and daily-baked bagels and pastries. For Mexican-style fare, Santo Niño Restaurant & Store on Main Street is a frequently listed local option—confirm hours before you go.

A trip to Andrews can include craft beer at Snowbird Mountains Brewery (378 Locust Street) and Hoppy Trout Brewing Company (Main Street), plus wine tasting at FernCrest Winery’s Main Street tasting room. Confirm seasonal hours before you go; listings change, and we do not claim “many bars,” whiskey-flight lounges, or gelato stands that we cannot verify.

When it comes time to satisfy a sweet tooth, check coffee shops and bakeries such as Morning Fog for daily-baked pastries—and confirm any dessert spot is currently open. For the freshest list of where to eat and drink, rely on VisitAndrewsNC.com and each business’s own page.
