8/5/2025-menu

Food: 4 Service: 4 Ambience: 4 Date/Time: 8/5/2025 6pm Order: Chipotle Off the Block Chicken Sammy and fries Crowd: full... 30 min waiting list This place, in a little strip mall off to the side of Walmart, was bought, after 20 years of operation, by a local family owned brewing company who added their products with the southwestern and Caribbean fare offered here. The inside is set up with basic chairs and tables and has a separate area for large groups. There's also a decent size outdoor seating area as well. They do gluten free cooking and some serious attention to allergy related strategies with separate cooking surfaces. The Chipotle Chicken sandwich was pretty good with a nice portion of chicken breast. The fries were basic and made with a little crispiness. The server was brand new so she went a bit over the top to serve us but better that than the other way. She kept checking in about every 5 mins or so. Very nice and friendly too. The pace was packed inside and out with a 30 min wait but the process they use for the waiting list was through the Local Toast app so you give them your number and the service texts you when your table is ready. This allowed us to tour the small strip mall while we waited. Overall a good experience and good food. Would certainly recommend it.

It breaks my heart to write this review. Why do you guys keep getting worse? I remember coming here back in 2019 when this was the best restaurant in Boone. Now it's just not the same. The chipotle cream cheese used to be amazing but it's so much worse now. And what happened to the shrimp? We still got six but they were tiny, like a quarter of the size they used to be. It honestly felt a little insulting. Everything still tasted fine but it's sad to see the quality and service drop so much. The one saving grace is that they still have the best gluten free desserts in the area.

Wow, service has gone downhill. I use to love this place and always look forward going back. I think they got new owners since last time..... i do not know if I will go back after last time. First issue, we came with my dog and the hostess was really rude when she had to sit us outside. Then we waiting over 30 mins not being talked to...... there was another table outside by the waiter would help them and just run away before we could say anything. Eventually a waiter came and took our order. He seemed upset when we ask to order everything in one go instead of just doing drinks first.... since we already waited a long time. Food came quickly but then we never saw our waiter for the check so we could not ask for anything else. Like i wanted more sauce but oh well. Also the portion is small and the price is high...... overall the new owners are the same as lost Providence and that has also gone downhill. It really sad these owners take good restaurant and just bring down the quality. :(

Now that Coyote Kitchen has merged with a brewery, they have some added pub style fare with excellent vegan options! (And a remodeled interior!) It's a big improvement all around. Tofu wings are crispy little tofu triangles well-seasoned and perfectly paired with their vegan chipotle ranch (even if you don't love smoky chipotle, because this isn't). I got the blackened spice tofu wings. We shared the yucca fries and sweet plantains too -- all perfect and wonderful. The yucca fries are REALLY special and unique. The cookies and cream trifle was unbelievably vegan. Incredibly rich and smooth -- decadent and meant for sharing despite the small(ish) size. We also got a seasonal mocktail which was lovely. Nice to have a non-alcoholic option. The atmosphere is a clean and laid back restaurant with a large, bright bar. We sat at the bar and service was quick and pleasant. The prices are reasonable too (we only got appetizers and dessert this time though).

DELISH! Loved the hushpuppies / balls! Very tasty with the aïoli and I requested their honey butter! I had the Mesa Verde and added grilled shrimp Very good! My boyfriend had coyote shrimp tacos, Very good! We will return! Plus! Raegan was an excellent server and has a great personality .

Marley burrito with poblano salsa cremosa

Coyote Kitchen and Lost Cantina is as it sounds, it's not trying to be pretentious or fancy. It is a cute place, and we were excited about the variety their menu had to offer. It started off good. We were seated right away and got to place our order promptly, but things went downhill from there. The coyote pups were super dry; even putting lime juice and garlic-lime aioli on them couldn't save them. Both our entrees were supposed to have a mild heat, but there was no heat at all. The salsas we ordered with our meals were to be medium and hot heat levels and again, no heat at all. I went with the Texicali boat and it was way too sweet, and greasy, with no savory flavor at all. My hubby did enjoy his Marley burrito which is why this place gets 3 stars. Our waitress said she was new, and after our orders were put in she just ghosted our section (we could see her outside and in the other indoor area, we had other people bring our meals and our first round of drinks. I ordered a second margarita and it sat at the bar so long my husband finally went up and got it himself, and she admitted she never even put in his order for a second glass of beer. As far as the zero-heat and the cheese overkill, all I can say is we're from Wisconsin and our food isn't known for heat (so you def dropped the ball there) and if I say you put too much cheese on it ya' gotta know it was an egregious amount.

Quirky, fun interior with outside seating available. Large selection of beer on tap. Food was beautiful, fresh and lots of flavor. Havana boat was good and full of flavor and spice. Taos boat was beautiful and tasty. Service was prompt and helpful. Definitely look forward to returning.

This hands down is one of the best on Boone. We always make a stop in when we visit and it never disappoints. I love the expanded space and the bar looks amazing. The new cocktails are super! Well made drinks to complement awesome tasty food. Our service was top notch and she was slammed post App game but handled it all like a champ and we enjoyed our visit. Don't sleep on that triple chocolate cake! First timer trying it but won't be last. One of the best I've ever had.

The food and atmosphere was awesome! Server was nice as well. Will definitely be back. The tofu honey glazed wings are 10/10

I came in from Virginia to visit with my sister and her family for Thanksgiving. They took me all over. On our way to Scottish dance recital, upon their recommendation, we dined at The Coyote Kitchen. Very down home, the meals were delicious and plentiful, and nicely priced. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. A big shout-out to our server, Laura, who was terrific, and also quite a character, with quite a sense of humor. I plan on visiting my family in the spring. I have Coyote Kitchen in mind for one of our stops. My best to The Coyote Kitchen. Philip Matera, Alexandria, Virginia

Milly’s Authentic Jamaican Restaurant - Oxtail

Milly’s Authentic Jamaican Restaurant

We moved to the area a few years ago now. We are from a "big city" where restaurants were in high…read morecompetition with each other and good food was not hard to find in any style. Here in this region we have struggled to find what we think is good quality food. There have been a few, some out of business now, like Angry Italian and Union 51. Sure you've got the chains... but good quality food in any style is hard to find here. And along comes my buddy, has lived here for years. His is from Jamaica "man" - sorry just had to. Anyway he takes me to Milly's Authentic Jamaican and wow what a great experience! I have been back there now I guess 10 times. And you know what is surprising? The consistency! One of the worst things that can happen is you like a dish and you return only to have it flop. Not here at Milly's. Cafe style. Kid friendly. Jamaican style Christian music - very cool. Great staff. Oh did I mention the food? Every time I go I intend to take pictures...but I started eating even before the plate hits the table - lol.

When you come to Milly's you are stepping through a portal that offers a cultural and a culinary…read moreexperience. This was so much fun! Having a place in Kingsport that has a taste of the islands is a real luxury! When you come into the restaurant they have a great "island vibe" with music and tasteful decorations. You truly feel like you stepped into a little cafe off the street in a Caribbean island. For the time we were there I felt like I was vacationing in the islands. The interior was clean and well maintained. You order at the counter and they bring your food to you. The two ladies were kind, friendly, and accommodating. I was excited to get authentic Ox Tail and my wife got Curry Goat. The flavors of the Oxtail were wonderful; this isn't very spicy, it is bursting with levels of spice and flavor. The Curry Goat was the surprise; it was so good. One of their sides is cabbage and my wife and I ate all of our cabbage. I drug my rice and peas into the juices and couldn't stop eating. We also had a side of fried chicken, which was delicious. We got a butter rum cake, but was just too full to eat it then. That and a piece of chicken will be a snack!

I very much like certain Caribbean dishes - Jerk Chicken, Curried Goat or Chicken, Brown Stew…read moreChicken, Ackee & Salt Fish, Stewed Turkey Necks, and most of all, Oxtail! I have eaten at Da Ragge, La Palma, and Calypso Mama in Greensboro, Dixon's Jamaican in Burlington, and a few others. In this area, I've tried Outta D Kitchen, Ah Fiwi, & Taste Jamaica in WS. I finally got around to trying this spot a few times, which has been around for a while, the oldest Yelp review was over 16 years ago. They have received just over 2.5 reviews a year, but somehow are still here. I ordered the Oxtail, a favorite - called in the order, based on Yelp reviews this seemed the way to go. On another occasion I tried the Curry Goat. The Oxtail and Curry Goat were very good, tender and flavorful, and the serving size was reasonable. On one visit the cabbage was well seasoned, but rather bland on the other. The rice and peas were just ok, and the plantains lacked softness and sweetness. I almost certainly come again - I want to try the Jerk Chicken, Curry Chicken, the Pepper Steak, and for sure the Turkey Necks.

I've been craving Jamaican Oxtail for a while and finally got my fix today! I called in my order…read moreand was kindly greeted by a staff member on the other end of the phone. They took my order, asked my name, and told me when to expect my order to be ready. Yeh Mon's is located on lockland Ave. just off of Silas Creek Blvd. Its bright green and yellow store front confirms you're in the right place before you even read a word from the sign. I waited the exact amount of time they told me before going inside. I walked into a tight, but bright carry out area, which can only hold maybe 2 people at a time. If you do a walk-in to-go order, you should probably wait in your car after ordering. I was greeted and asked if I had a picked up order and was asked my name. The food was ready when I arrived, and I paid $25 for 1 oxtail plate. Considering how much oxtail are in the grocery store, this is a deal for not having to prepare them myself. The food was still piping hot when I arrived home 20 minutes away. They gave generous serving of oxtail (about 5-6 pieces). -The oxtail and its gravy were flavorful, and the meat was super tender and filling. The best I've had since Rhythms closed. -The cabbage was flavored well but was a little too salty. The rice and peas were bland. It didn't taste like they cooked it with coconut milk like I've had from other jamaican restaurants. Overall, the great customer service and excellent oxtail earned them 4 stars. I'll certainly put them in rotation for regular spots to visit.
