Mountain Aire Seafood & Steaks Wins Awarded Again!
The Ashe County Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that Mountain Aire Seafood & Steaks has been selected as the 2024 Small Business of the Year!
This award, given to a Chamber member business in operation for at least three years with a
staff of fewer than 25 employees and a solid commitment to the community, is well-deserved by owners Brenda and Joe Barker and their staff.

Still, these are just a few of ma acts of generosity. Brenda and her staff go above and beyond to ensure that customers leave content and keep coming back while also tirelessly championing: many needs in the community.

Another great meal….
A great place to have a good meal. I had calabash shrimp and my husband had the trout. As usual all was delicious and you know that is why it is a favorite with locals. Come casual and enjoy good cooking. The owner is always. there to greet you and the ladies are pleasant and accommodating. Good food at a reasonable price. Their hush puppies are the best anywhere!
Great Food, HUGE Portions, Awesome Service
I have lived in Ashe County (Fleetwood) for several years and I just had dinner at the Mountain Aire for the first time. I really loved it. The food was great, they serve you HUGE portions and the service was awesome. Wanna send a special THANK YOU to Candice my server. As I shared with you, I will bring the whole family back next time.

Great seafood and steaks…
We get the large platter and split it when we go! The fish is always delicious and the baked potato and salad bar are always fresh and tasty. My children have gotten hamburgers and chicken fingers and liked them both. There are a lot of options on the menu, something for everyone.
