129 HUB

Fantastic Tail of the Dragon gift shop. Great people here and I love getting a shirt every time we visit. They serve some food and drinks as well. Highly recommend the cheeseburgers. Tons of parking and photo ops here. Super convenient location at the north end of the Dragon. Best in the area hands down.

Was here by chance on another matter unrelated to the dragon around lunch time. Had the dragon burger and some tots that hit the spot. Got to see some cool cars in the process of satng my my lunch time appetite.

Threw in a picture of a Garza shout-out across the road.

Can't say enough great things about this place! Owners are second to none, great merch, and the best burger I've ever had. Can't wait to come back!

This place is awesome! This is exactly what this area of the dragon needed. The clothing and memorabilia is fantastic. The location is very modern and perfectly decorated. The food is delicious. We had the hub burger the hub fries which are smothered in queso and pulled pork. The only thing that would make this place better is beer and liquor.

Food is always good and fresh. The owners are so nice and friendly. They take time and interact with customers and go the extra mile to see that they have a good experience here. 10/10 recommended stopping in.

This was our 1st time on the Dragon. The owners went above and beyond to explain everything about the ride. This place is an outstanding stop for the car enthusiast! Gift shop, food and more! I would give 10 stars if possible!!!🐉🏁🏎👍

We worked with 129 Hub for a Rally we hosted this year and couldn't have been more impressed! Great team, super cool facility and friendly service. They served food for 140ish people without a sweat. We would absolutely recommend stopping by if you have the chance!

One of the best things to ever happen to the Tail of the Dragon area. Good selection of souviners and clothing. Food is amazing and will keep you coming back to try all the delicious options. Definitely the best place around to meet your friends before heading out to the mountains because it's easy to find with lots of parking and most importantly, its the last area you'll have reliable cell phone coverage. They also host regular cars and coffee events and other car and motorcycle enthusiast meet ups.

Amazing place to eat. Situated about 5 miles down the end of the tail of the Dragon, or the start depending on which way you're coming, this is the best place to eat in the area. The food proves range from 8 to 15$, but believe me, the food is worth the money. They predominantly have tavern food, limited to hot dogs, chicken and burgers. But each of my friends got something different, and the portion sizes are very liberal. I got the 129 dog (BBQ, jalepeno, and queso) with coleslaw as a side. It was a delight.

Besides amazing food, the staff is very friendly, prompt service, and a pleasure to be around. There is indoor and outdoor seating, with plenty of space.

Highly recommended!

Great place to stop on the way to the Tail of the Dragon! They have souvenirs and good food. The crowds can be big and the 129 HUB provides a port-a-John! Seems like there’s always a nice crowd that are in the area for the same reason! Yes, the Dragon! Just Ride it or Drive it!

A must if visiting the Dragon and surrounding roads.

Cool modern style place with absolutely amazing burgers.

Hang around and you’ll probably see some exotic cars and bikes.

Like the Dragon Statue this is a stop you have to make on the way for the food, the photos and they have a professional seamstress across the street. Which is awesome because sewing a patch on motorcycle gear takes precision and skill. 😎

Has the best Tail of The Dragon Apparel and cool spot in general. Wish they were closer to the main part of the Dragon, but worth the drive out.

Best burgers around! They are on the level of "Five Guys" burgers 🍔. The onion rings are perfect! Best spot to eat on the Tail!

Good food, good people, cool cars. All adds up to a great weekend. Sooo much Tail of the Dragon merch available. Will be back again.

Stopped for a quick meal and the food was delicious. Hands down the best tator tots and the burgers were amazing!

Our group today had lunch at 129 Hub and had a really good time. As usual the environment is inviting, and is especially entertaining for driving/riding enthusiasts. My car sandwich was totally great, and reasonably priced. Today was not my first visit and won't be my last.

My wife and I recently drove the tail of the dragon and absolutely loved it! As we left, we needed some gas and were hungry. We happened upon the 129 Hub and had some great food and bought a couple cool and unique t shirts. Great atmosphere and worth going out of your way for the food and cool Dragon swag!

What a wonderful place to start your journey of the Tail of the Dragon. Located on the Tennessee end/beginning (depends on direction I guess) of the Dragon. Staff was very friendly and kindly provided maps, tips and suggestions for traveling the Dragon. We decided to fill up the human gas tanks prior to canyon carving, it's definitely premium fuel for the body (without the premium price)! Pulled pork so tender and juicy (I'm drooling thinking about it again)... simply can't go wrong at 129HUB! Situated perfectly so you can watch the cars/bikes pass as you dine/shop with indoor & outdoor seating available.

The 129 Hub is just what everyone needed in this area. Smack dab on the way to the best road in the United States. Josh has set up an inviting oasis for car and bike lovers alike. Great food and the best atmosphere around. Try it and I guarantee you won't be disappointed
