Louisiana Purchase - BANNER ELK

While the waiter was helpful in highlighting the items I could have, my options were quite limited. My partner wanted to leave because of this, but I convinced him to stay and give it a try. I'm glad we did because the food was absolutely delicious. However, I don’t think we’ll return because of their strict no substitutions policy, which essentially means you can only eat things exactly as they are served. It’s quite an unusual approach.

What a fantastic restaurant! We sat on the deck and enjoyed the best bison burger, complemented by excellent service and a wonderful atmosphere. I highly recommend this outstanding dining experience!

Our wives ordered a dish with mixed vegetables. They both enjoyed the sweet components but struggled to eat much of the pork because it was extremely peppery. I enjoy spicy food, but even I found the meat excessively hot. It seems unnecessary to use so much pepper in a pork dish without any warning on the menu. The restaurant, now called 'LP on Main,' used to be 'Louisiana Purchase,' which was our favorite spot in Banner Elk for many years. It had the food and atmosphere we loved, especially for excellent Cajun/Creole cuisine. Sadly, the new LP on Main doesn't offer any Cajun/Creole dishes, which is quite disappointing. I fear we've made our last visit to this revamped restaurant, which is unfortunate since we are locals.

We had a holiday in this city and every month we couldn't wait to eat there! it is our favorite place to eat in the opposite! eating is amazing and it is local property of a man and a woman. service every time is wonderful. I can tell them they need a reservation for the wonderful restaurant!

Would not have chosen any other Restaurant in Banner Elk N C to celebrate my birthday , with my family, other then L P on Maine. Whether a Special Occasion, or just a night out for Great Food, you will Always feel welcomed. The Entire staff share the same philosophy of owners Patrick Bagbey, Executive Chef and Laurie Bagbey, Hostess, that everyone is Special and that is how your treated. So make a reservation and be prepared to enjoy Amazing food, Cozy ambiance. and an Exceptionally Attentive staff.
