Thomas & Kristin’s Guidebook for Blue Ridge
Food Scene
We eat Pink Pig almost every weekend. Open Thursday-Sunday. It’s been a family owned restaurant that’s been around for years. Great BBQ, but I always get the grilled chicken with sweet potato fries & garlic salad (made from scratch dressing)!

If you’re looking for a nicer place to go one night, this would be my choice. Not really a family place if you have smaller children, but perfect for a special date night.

KC Outfitters is owned by my brother, Kory Chastain. He is hands down the best guide in Blue Ridge, and that’s not just because I am a little biased. He’s fished all over the place, but wanted to come back home & share what he loves.
