Flat Rock Village Bakery
A local classic that garners a long line at the standard dining times, you can purchase gluten free baked goods, gluten filled baked goods, sandwiches, sodas, wood fired pizza, coffee and more.
There are about five indoor tables and about double that for outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is particularly charming with a generous tree growing up through the patio's center and shading the tables.
Hubba Hubba Smokehouse
Listen, I adore BBQ and I have visited a LOT of BBQ restaurants. This remains, hands down, my personal favorite. You're going to order at a window and choose your meat and your sides, then you add the BBQ yourself in small cups at the next station. If that's not your preferred way to have the sauce meet the meat, then you might not feel the deep affection I feel for Hubba Hubba.
They are only open seasonly so plan accordingly.
