Under Brown Mountain Lights the Beast of Blandenboro wanders this magical land where lighthouses shine on kingdoms only accessible by ferries. A Lost Colony of legends and pirates revealed in historical sites and majestic mountains with views that make us weep. The home of handmade sculptures and scrumptious cuisine. North Carolina leaves this long-time writer and artist breathless with endless surprises, including the unlikely warmth a winter walk on the beach can bring.
If you’re looking for a rural restaurant in North Carolina with excellent cuisine and pretty views, visit the Eddy Restaurant & Pub. Located in Saxapaw, it’s a wonderful drive out toward Graham through Chapel Hill. And if the weather is agreeable, sit on the balcony overlooking the countryside and the lovely Haw River. The owners’ purpose in building the Eddy in 2010 was to unite folks in a warm and welcoming place and to utilize the rich, local resources available. It seems they were successful; just look at what’s taking place at this exceptional rural restaurant.
Look at the Eddy with its large windows and decks glowing radiantly in the sunlight.
From mocktails, cocktails, beer, and wine, something delicious is available, such as this summer choice of Blueberry Lemonade Wheat Ale from Steel Hands in Greensboro.

Please drink it outside as you appreciate the countryside below.
Arugula, strawberries, asparagus, pecan-crusted goat cheese and a light citrus vinaigrette make a perfect light dish. Add some heft with grilled chicken if you like.
Packed with house chorizo, farm-fresh eggs, black beans, rice, cotija and cheddar cheese all rolled in a warmed flour tortilla - this entree is delicious.
Keep on the lookout for specials fitting the weather, such as the lamb and beef shepherd's pie special offered sometimes on damp weekends.
