I find any excuse possible to eat here when I'm in Burnsville. The drinks, menu, and the walls/ whole place is superior to any place around here. Service is really good or really slow depending on how many people they have working, that's it's only fault I can come up with. Cool history of the name, also. I'm definitely trying the Category 5 next time, and I hope it's like the Lt. Dan vs the ocean hurricane scene.

Great ambiance, outdoor dining was a must, and food was delicious. I ordered the blue ridge burger with a cherry cider and it paired so nicely. My friend ordered 12 wings and loved them. Fried pickles were great. Staff was lovely. Would happily come back! Dog friendly as well.

Fun, quaint little bar and eatery honoring the namesake of Burnsville. The indoor area has a few tables and a nice bar. The food is very tasty and the wait staff friendly and accommodating. The restroom is clean and filled with memorabilia and character. The outdoor space is welcoming and well appointed. Don’t miss this little gem if you’re visiting Burnsville.

Awesome. Had lunch next door at Garden Deli (recommend!), did some walking around and shopping, and then wandered back and went to Snap Dragon. Great vibe and decor, cozy. Chose to relax on the patio under the heater and have some apps and beverages. Sampled the cheese sticks, calamari, and meatballs. Wow. Presentation and taste were spot on. Great beers on tap and an extensive fun cocktail menu.

In a town known for emerald mining, this place is a gem. Located at the town square, perfect place to catch a drink, meal and people watching. The food has the island vibes and tasted fantastic. Went here with a bunch of women on a weekend girls trip. We're happy to stumble here. Definitely recommending their island burger, cordon Bleu, meatballs and Thai ribs if you're around town.

What a wonderful little hidden nugget! Reading the most recent reviews, I hope they can find the staff they need to turn things back around cause we really enjoyed it and would love to come back when it's warm out. We hit it on a good day, it was a Monday night and VERY cold, yet it was still full and people were sitting outside, and while our service wasn't above average, it wasn't below. Our food was very good though and the menu was unique.
