Rolling into yanceyville nc we stopped at the very first place we see.
A beautiful purple old house called the Yancey House restaurant. I
wander around the building, looking for signs of life and it's clear
they have no plans of being open on Monday but I'm bummed cause the
place looks amazing. We take a seat at an outside table an brian finds
the phone number online and gives a call... No answer, no machine. Out
of the house steps an older guy, white beard, and overalls on "you
guys want anything to drink?". Water sounds great, we mumble, still a
littl shocked he just walked out of the house. "what no beer?" this is
when we knew we loved this place. The guy was mike willis and he turns
out to be the owner, yep they ate closed on Mondays but he sets us up
with some water, a very tasty lemon dessert and tells us about the
place. JB and Theresa you've got to come pay this place a visit, it
just got voted one of the top ten dinners in all of NC. Mike told us
we could stay in the pavilion, complete with bathroom and tv. It may
well be one of the coolest places we've stayed and the fact that it's
sprinkling and I'm not getting wet is the cherry on top.
