We are proud to call Kings Mountain, North Carolina, “the historical city,” home.
Kings Mountain is named for both the nearby geological feature and the American Revolution battle fought nearby. And it is home to some great food!
We took a poll of local diners to see which restaurants they like best. Here’s what they said:
We enjoy all of those restaurants and more! Here are some of our specific recommendations for eating in Kings Mountain.
* NOTE: Terra Mia is no longer open. (Updated 2023)
A NICE MEAL: Looking for a place to dress up and get “a nice meal?” Start by looking at the offerings at 238 Cherokee Grill and 133 West in downtown.
CHEAP EATS: Check out Weiner Works on the west side of town for hot dogs, hamburgers, fries and some of the crunchiest onion rings we’ve had anywhere. Don’t have much money but need to fill up? This is the place to go.
DRIVE-IN: Visit Blackwood’s about a mile from Exit 8 on Interstate 85. We recommend a Lotta Burger (a patty on each half of a sub roll with whichever toppings you want) and a homemade Cherry Lemon Sundrop. We’ve had as many as 24 cherries in the bottom of the Sun Drop. Seriously!
SWEET TREATS: K Donuts stocks a full display case with a large variety of donuts and other sweet baked delights in a space on West King Street. The shop opens early and recently expanded its hours to offer customers even more time to stop in.
A CUP OF COFFEE: Big Red’s near the US 74 and I-85 interchange serves up a great menu of hot brews, specialty frappes and other drinks, in addition to mini donuts and even brunch and lunch food.
BREAKFAST: On the north side of town, Chat-N-Nibble offers that local-spot feel and full menu of traditional favorites that you’re probably looking for.
