Opened in November 2005, the Yancey House Restaurant and Gallery offers dining in an historic, relaxing, and inviting atmosphere. Chef Willis' dishes might best be described as having a Southern “awareness.” Ingredients are locally grown, when available, and always fresh. To incorporate the freshest foods, the chef adjusts the menu seasonally. Inspiration for the dishes comes from the owners' Southern roots and from the local farming community.

A Welcome to First Time Visitors
Welcome to YanceyVillage, a place where time doesn't move quite so fast; where drinking lemonade on the front porch with friends can be a Saturday night out; where families eat dinner together and it isn't a holiday; where "community" means you know your neighbors.
The heart of YanceyVillage is the Bartlett Yancey House built in 1807 by one of North Carolina's greatest and most beloved statesmen. The home sits on a spacious 153 acre estate west of Yanceyville and is surrounded by the original smokehouse, a Federal period law office, and probably the largest tobacco barn in North Carolina. East of the house is the Yancey family graveyard, where Bartlett Yancey and his descendents are buried.
In 2004, the house was purchased and renovated and restored to its original glory. In 2005, phase I of the YanceyVillage project began as the home was transformed into the Yancey House Restaurant, which specializes in Southern cuisine. Phase I also included the construction of a 40 x 80 foot pavilion for parties and weddings.
Phase II is currently underway. On the property located behind tobacco barn, four sites have been cleared for construction of small guest cottages (what we call shot-gun houses in Louisiana), each one decorated in a different style: Queen Anne, Victorian, Rustic, Farm House. Just down from the cottages, Michael has rebuilt the levee of Lake Yancey and the pond, thanks to the torrents of rain, is now filled.
Phase III begins w/ construction of retirement town homes. For more information visit the Yancey Village Residences web page.
