Why folks make the drive

Worth the trip from Asheboro.

We've got folks who travel all the way from Asheboro, past the NC Zoo and through Uwharrie country, to pull up a chair at The Sirloin House. It’s a good little trip, and we're always glad to see new faces and welcome back old friends. Maybe you're looking for a change of pace from your usual spots, or perhaps you've heard tell about our hand-cut steaks, cooked just right on the flat top, or our generous daily lunch buffet that changes every single day. We've been serving up Southern cooking in Eden since 2001, and there's a reason folks keep making that drive. You won’t find anything fancy here, just good food made with care, like your grandma might have fixed. So, if you're thinking about a visit, let me tell you a bit more about what you can expect when you get here.

What else to see in Eden.

If you're making the trip from Asheboro, you might as well make a day of it! Eden sits at the confluence of the Smith and Dan Rivers, offering some pretty spots for a walk, like Freedom Park right on the riverbank. Our town has a rich history, formed in 1967 when Leaksville, Spray, and Draper merged, so you'll see old mill town architecture and historic districts that tell a story. It's a nice place to stretch your legs before or after a good meal. You could take a drive through the historic areas, maybe stop by the local shops, or just enjoy the quiet charm of a small Southern town before heading back down US-220.
