Food for you
There is only one fast food franchise that is here in Weaverville and that is Burger King, a Subway opened up in the same shopping plaza but that is it for corporate food places other than Round Table.
There’s only a couple of options in town and they are virtually right next to each other (only separated by the foundation of the old Roundtable Pizza that burnt down years ago):

Do
Do Trinity Theatre
Small movie theatre, remind you of old fashioned movie theatre, the only movie theatre in the county.
Do Trinity Alps Golf Course
A 9-hole course is laid out on a long hogback, covering about 40 acres. The course is a loop, out and back. Has great views of the mountains and wildlife.
Events
Do 4th of July Fireworks and Parade
The fireworks usually happen on the third but check to find out what day exactly, one of the best around and has a great small town atmosphere, and on the 4th of July they have a parade that goes right through Main Street, so the highway which runs right through town will be closed and there will be detours.

Eat
There is only one fast food franchise that is here in Weaverville and that is Burger King, a Subway opened up in the same shopping plaza but that is it for corporate food places other than Round Table.
Eat Trinideli
A great local place to get a pretty large sandwich.
Eat La grange Cafe
Great dining in an authentic old saloon-style bldg from the 1800s, very great food at reasonable prices.
Eat La Casita
Good Mexican food and appetizers at decent prices.
Eat Red Dragon
Chinese food with good lunch specials.
Eat Nugget Restaurant
Has good diner food and comfy booths and is pretty cheap and delicious, also serves up a great breakfast as well.
Pizza
There’s only a couple of options in town and they are virtually right next to each other (only separated by the foundation of the old Roundtable Pizza that burnt down years ago):
The Water Bar at 100 Nugget Ln. makes excellent pizza on naan bread with fresh toppings piled on, served with a boba milk tea, Italian soda or a smoothie all made with their superb tasting alkaline Ph balanced water (hence the name of the place)
Tangle Blue at 130 Nugget Ln. is one of three local ‘watering holes’ (not to be confused with the actual Water Bar highlighted above). It, by far, has the coolest name out of the three and the coolest bartenders who will hook you up with your favorite libation and one of their artisan pizzas
Drink
Drink New York Saloon
A trendier, younger bar in town. It could have existed in a 19th-century mining town.
Drink The Diggins
Across Main Street has an older, more rustic crowd. Look out for the wild boar on the wall.
Coffee
Drink Mamma Llama Coffeehouse
One of the good places to grab coffee in this small town and also has plenty of teas to choose from as well.
Sleep
Stay safe
Has a very low crime rate does not have a police department but does have a County Sherriff and the California Highway Patrol. Also of note there are few gas stations outside of Weaverville so it would be wise to get gas there, as cell phone service is spotty as you are in the mountains and would not want to be stuck for a long period of time. Also be wary in the wintertime as it does snow in this area and usually the roads are cleaned up rather quickly, best advice would to bring chains for your vehicles tires just in case
