The Sanders Ridge Restaurant formerly known as Big Woods) is collocated with the Sanders Ridge Winery in a beautiful wooden lodge. The food is sophisticated southern with tasty treats, including fried green tomatoes and grilled pimento cheese sandwiches. Another good option is the apple brie chicken sandwich. And, if they have sweet potato fries, get 'em. Yummy! In addition to the meal options, you can enjoy wine from the winery, which is an obvious choice and perk). The service here was very nice, and you could tell that the folks working there took pride in their work and in the establishment... you don 't get that too often where I live now : As I mentioned in my tagline, while you 're en route to check out the various wineries in the Yadkin Valley, try to time your visit to Sanders Ridge so that you can do both tastings and a meal. Since many of the wineries aren 't near food options, Sander 's Ridge is perfect for cooling your jets and getting some food on your stomach before heading back out for more vino.

The wines we ordered with lunch were very enjoyable. There were about 10 people dining in the restaurant at the time with two servers. Unfortunately, the wait time for our two sandwiches was far too long. There was only one very young looking cook with a helper. The sandwiches took 35 minutes too arrive. Not a motivator for ordering more wine. The food was very good but plan on a leisurely lunch or dinner if you are in the area for wine tasting.

Hidden Gem!! Good prices and amazing food! Welcoming atmosphere and very nice wines to compliment the dishes. 5 stars in my book! Well worth the detour off 421. read more Hidden Gem!!

It was only a single day retreat filled with a day of planning for next year's goals, brainstorming and drinking wine and sampling the goods from Sanders Ridge! It's a really lovely restaurant with a large sitting area with comfy chairs and couches and plenty of beautiful wood throughout. Service was on point the whole day and throughout our meals, I don't ever recall needing to ask for anything whatsoever. The menu was locally inspired and creative I would agree with other reviewers that it reads sophisticated Southern. The fried green tomatoes were especially delicious. For my meal, I went with the apple and brie chicken sandwich, which was the perfect amount of substance and flavor. If you get a chance, definitely take part in the wine tasting. I was more than impressed with the varieties and quality of wine that came from Sanders Ridge! The owners and managers of this restaurant are incredibly knowledgeable about the wine, potential pairings and guiding you through each tasting. If you're in Yadkin Valley, Sanders Ridge is an excellent stop!
