Finding things to do in a world where you prefer to avoid crowds often means seeking out little, out of the way destinations that everyone in the family will appreciate. The next time you want to get away from it all for the day, gas up the car and head to the tiny town of Lawndale, North Carolina, population: about 600.
It's here, at 6533 Fallston Road (a.k.a. NC-20) that you'll find Redbone Willy's Trading Company, an eclectic old general store and restaurant absolutely adored by those who've already visited.
And peruse the clothing lines that are best described as cowgirl chic. Redbone Willy's also carries men's lines as well as jewlery, boots, shoes, hats, and more. And when you've exhausted every single corner, shelf, and rack of items to see and purchase, prepare to dine.
The bison burger, called the Mtn Buffalo Dog, is all natural and loaded with any toppings you desire. Or have a delectable grilled cheese, or any of the 14 creative sandwiches on the menu. An assortment of salads and desserts round out the choices.
If there's one thing for certain about a day trip to Redbone Willy's Trading Company, it's that you're not leaving here empty-handed, hungry, or disappointed!
As a mere point of reference relative to where you may reside in the Tar Heel State, Redbone Willy’s is located a mere one hour drive northwest of Charlotte and only 75 minutes east of Asheville.
