Welcome To Epic Chophouse at Eagles Nest

Join us at Epic Chophouse for our Thanksgiving Harvest Buffet on
THANKSGIVING DAY (November 27th)!

Epic Chophouse restaurant in Banner Elk offers the top dining experience and best mountain views in the High Country of North Carolina. We literally elevated food and drink in the Blue Ridge when we opened our Eagles Nest location at 4,300 feet elevation in 2025. Perched atop a knoll with panoramic vistas, our gorgeous mountain lodge setting has soaring ceilings, glass walls and striking art. Watch summer sunsets from covered decks complete with firepits. Open year-round, the bar and dining room with a massive stone fireplace are perfect places to gather with friends on winter days.

We are a private, membership restaurant located inside the gated luxury home community of Eagles Nest. Property owners are automatically members. In addition, a limited number of annual community memberships are available.
