  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for craft beers
In the 1950s, The Speckled Trout was a place to stop and fill up your gas tank. Now, you can fill up on fresh mountain trout, soup beans, and hoecakes and wash it down with local farm beer or fresh rosé. We explore the roots of Appalachian food and beverage culture and re-create it in our kitchen by preserving and reviving ingredients of our local heritage.

Join us at The Speckled Trout for a taste of locally sourced regional fare by Chef Michael Foreman and warm hospitality that will keep y'all coming back!

    Best meal I’ve had in a long time ! Deviled eggs were delicious - better than expected as I like eggs, but woudl have chosen another app. (my husband wanted them.) Almond and cornmeal trout was delicious and the mustard greens were so tasty! Relished every bite . The chocolate chip tres leches cake was the best dessert I’ve had in a long time . I wanted more of everything. So good !

    I don’t mind giving a review but I think Open table should not require additional message. In the future I am not as inclined to give a review.

    I had the palometa trout with mac and cheese and collard greens. The seasoning on the trout was excellent, really enjoyed our meal! Our server, Olivia, was great at answering questions and helped us celebrate 3 birthdays with a piece of chocolate chip cake!

    Food was excellent. Blackened trout was the favorite coupled with a Hoppin John that, in the words of my Poppaw, “will make your tongue smack your brains out”

    Excellent service and the best trout we can remember ever having- try the palomato seasoning, you won’t regret it! We also appreciated the family-friendly atmosphere which most of Blowing Rock embraces.

    It’s one of our favorite places! The almond - cornmeal crusted trout is excellent and it’s what we order almost every visit. The sweet potato grits was delicious and we had enough room for a very tasty lemon cream cake.
