The Tilted Ladder

Libby Kemp

My husband and I were just traveling through the area and it just happened to pop up on our search for good places to eat. SO SO happy it did! Food was AMAZING. My husband can be a little picky. But he was just as blown away as I was! Our server was fantastic, friendly and helpful. Food came quick and perfect on the first try. Honestly the best dining experience we’ve had in a VERY long time. We’re now trying to plan another trip up that way, just to eat at the tilted ladder again!

Came to Tilted Ladder after a hike in Pilot Mountain State Park, which I hear is a popular sequence and rightly so. The side patio is a great place to relax and eat when you're sweaty and fragrant after a good hike; it's also great because you can have your dog there with you! Tilted Ladder is very dog-friendly, the waitress brought us water for our dog, and they have at least one water bowl if you need it (we brought a portable one but they offered, and I saw at least one around the patio). Burgers were decent, not spectacular but tasty. I didn't even get a chance to taste my wife's side of sweet potato fries which probably tells us something :). Sauteed broccoli was tasty and a pleasant surprise option if you're trying to eat healthily. ... BUT we need to talk about the Garlic Mashed Potatoes. Forget being a side, they could be the *centerpiece* of a meal. They were buttery, slightly peppery, creamy-yet-chunky, with a hint of garlic but not overpoweringly so. Before my food arrived I thought I might have leftovers. I did not. I inhaled my Hawaiian Chicken sandwich, and then lingered over the mashed potatoes delighting in them. If you like mashed potatoes, then I highly recommend getting extra to-go or to-share so that you can hoard one portion for yourself :).

Great dinner. Sat outside. Nice area! Love my Burrito Bowl and wife loved her salmon. Nice dinner! Good service.

We just had our first visit at Tilted Ladder. We are on a mini vacation from Tennessee and just looking for different places to try. This place was definitely a great choice! We had the fried pickles which were way more than the two of us could eat. We had the Tilted Shrimp with sidewinder fries. The food perfect! I’m not sure how they batter their shrimp, but it definitely works! Our waitress was Marty and she was just precious!! Definitely a five star visit!
