Highlands Prohibition Kitchen

Beautiful inside. Intimate place with wood decor, leather booths, and stained glass. Here for Sunday brunch, I had the sausage biscuits and gravy that had big chucks of peppery sausage in a white creamy gravy. Delicious! They offer mimosas and bloody Mary’s but I enjoyed an excellent glass of sauvignon blanc from Marlborough County. We will definitely be coming back here!

Betsie and I loved this place. Brand new but with a small, sophisticated menu and local beers on tap. Good looking wine list and a warm, cozy feel in a hidden gem hiding in plain site in downtown Banner Elk. Try it!

I traveled 1163km and found this place.
Words can not explain the hospitality that the owner Marcus provided..

Highlands Prohibition Kitchen deserves more than 5 stars.

This whole night was just a night of good luck and amazing friendship being made.

I was in town and found this place.

As I walked in I was greated by the owner. Who regrettably informed me
The kitchen was closed due to the chef being sick.

He still offered me a seat for a drink. I took him up on this offer and as we talked and formed this friendship that seemed like we knew each other for ages..

As the night went on the bartender Jessica and I also started talking and forming an friendship.

In an unfortunate situation Jessica and Marcus were able to adapt and still provide an amazing night for anyone who step foot in the door.

The laughs and friendship that from this evening will be unforgettable.

If you want a place that will make you feel welcomed this is the place you want to be

Jessica if you see this the lemon drop was amazig and I'll be back just for your personality

Marcus if you see this our fiction or fictional stories shall continue.

I wish you all the best of luck and will stop by every chance I can get

Fantastic place. The food and service unbelievable. Nora and Jessica were fantastic servers. We were going to go somewhere else for dinner but after seeing the menu we stayed and so glad we did. Met the owner, Marcus is fabulous.
We will definitely be back.
Highly recommend.

Stopped by to grab a bite for lunch. Owner was in, greeted us. Very nice. Jess was behind bar and made a fantastic old fashioned for me. Wife had a glass of chardonnay. Ended up ordering a charcuterie board. Only been open a couple weeks but I believe this will be a favorite spot for locals and tourists alike.
