Right in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, North Wilkesboro is a gateway for outdoor adventure. The tiny town of fewer than 5,000 may feel like a drive-by town, but within North Wilkesboro lies a wonderful little eatery that’s so good, it doesn’t even have a website. When your food speaks for itself, you can get by through word of mouth, and that’s exactly how this old-school restaurant in North Carolina likes it. 

Welcome to 18 North, a casual restaurant serving up sandwiches and comfort food in North Carolina.
