Welcome to The Swinging Bridge Restaurant!
Within the Paint Bank General Store
Celebrating over 10 years of bringing you homestyle good cookin’ with a Southern gourmet flare. What! You haven’t tried us yet? Our unique dining experience is well worth the drive over the mountains and through the woods.
The Swinging Bridge offers a cozy setting in front of a raging fire (seasonal, of course!), with décor that reflects the beauty and splendor of nature, brought indoors. Sit down, relax, and have something good to eat!
Our Menu features a variety of buffalo dishes, as well as delicious, mouth-watering BBQ, perfectly prepared on our own locomotive smoker. For the traditionalists, we have Sunday Dinner - Pan Fried Chicken - and many other family favorites, like our Blue Plate Specials (Fridays) and Prime Rib Saturdays.
When the weather is fine, you can dine on our screened-in back porch that overlooks historic [Tingler’s Mill]. The Big Wheel’s turnin’ and the mill is open for visitors. If there is a short wait for your table, enjoy some outdoor game time with horseshoes or corn hole, and work up your appetite!
After your meal, go upstairs to stroll across our real swinging bridge, check out our wildlife display and visit the Paint Bank General Store & Gift Shop.
