With a restaurant pass available at the Beech Mountain Lakes entrance, visitors can head lakeside for delicious food, refreshing drinks, and scenic views.

The menu is packed with signature Greek dishes, from savory chicken souvlaki sandwiches and fresh Greek salads to stuffed grape leaves and crispy zucchini balls.
