Our Story

A neighborhood bar and grill located on Little Rainbow Row in Flat Rock, NC.

Campfire Grill is built on a simple belief: great food brings people together.

Located in the heart of Flat Rock, North Carolina, Campfire Grill has long been a gathering place for locals and visitors looking for genuine hospitality, comforting food, and memorable experiences. In the fall of 2025, the restaurant entered an exciting new chapter when it was purchased by Kip and Amelia Lindsey.

For Kip and Amelia, owning Campfire Grill is the culmination of a lifelong passion for the restaurant and hospitality industry. Together, they bring decades of experience in restaurants, catering, weddings, and special events. Throughout their careers, they have built a reputation for exceptional food, warm service, and creating places where guests feel welcomed from the moment they arrive.

Their vision for Campfire Grill is to honor everything guests have loved about the restaurant while introducing fresh ideas, seasonal menus, and a continued commitment to quality. Every meal is prepared with care, using thoughtfully sourced ingredients and inspired by the flavors of the mountains of Western North Carolina.

In addition to the restaurant, Kip and Amelia have united their well-established Budy Finch Catering business with Campfire Grill, creating Campfire Grill Catering. Their experienced team now offers the same outstanding food and hospitality for weddings, corporate events, private parties, and celebrations throughout the region.

Whether you're stopping in for a casual lunch, celebrating with family over dinner, enjoying one of our special events, or planning a catered gathering, our goal is always the same—to serve delicious food with genuine hospitality and make every guest feel like part of the Campfire Grill family.

We look forward to welcoming you around our table and becoming part of your traditions for years to come.
