This place was a disappointment! We saw plenty of good reviews and were tempted by the extensive menu so we decided to give it a try. Our waitress was nice and friendly but definitely struggling and the food itself was very mediocre. We arrived around 5pm on a Saturday and sat outside as a group of 7. We started with waters and then a couple trays of chips and salsa. We opted for the house fire roasted and pico options. The chips were a good portion but each one came with maybe one ounce of each sauce...for the 7 of us. We asked for extras and so she brought out one of each... I ordered a chicken vegetable soup which the menu stated was served with a cornbread muffin. When the soup came there was no cornbread so I asked for that and upon her return she said it would be an extra $2.50 even though I literally pointed to the menu to show her that was not written anywhere lol The soup was okay, probably Would've been better with the muffin but I wasn't going to argue over it anymore. For my entree I got two southwest chicken tacos. And those were disappointing as well. Packed with a lot but just did not deliver on flavor, and the poblano cremosa salsa I got was pretty bland too. Overall sentiment from other friends was similar- they ordered bowls, burritos etc but found a lot was left to be desired with their dishes. Come payment time, I opted to use cash since the menu stated 3% surcharge for credit. When I gave her a $20, she returned my tab (after processing the others who put a card in) and I explained I had left cash, to which she asked "oh do you want me to give you a 10 and two 5s?" And I explained, No I just want to pay with cash, I only need the change. And then she gave me the wrong amount of change. So all around this spot was definitely a let down. @azfitfoodfun

Wanted something a bit different for dinner & Coyote Kitchen definitely delivered! On a week night, it was packed with a long wait so I ordered food to go. The hostess was very helpful in explaining the menu items while trying to navigate the wait list. The Baja bowl was very good and generously portioned. Seasonings were on pointe. The pineapple coconut lime pie however was not good which is a shame since there's so much potential. It had too much butter in the crust & wasn't set properly. If in town, I'd definitely go back to check out the other menu items!

Man, I slept on this place for years but they have expanded, renovated, updated their menu and added a ton of beers (the new owners own Lost Province Brewery and their beers are heavily represented on the wall of taps.) Weekly specials, margarata slushies, tons of non-alcoholic beverages. I went today for Taco Tuesday for my birthday and the $3 tacos were awesome! I won't wait as long to go back, I actually want to go back next week for the main menu. Nice upgrade, Coyote Kitchen!

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.

I made my own bowl with coconut rice, black beans, sweet potatoes, plantains, squash, chicken tinga, cotija cheese, and fire roasted salsa!

We have been several times and it never disappoints. The food is always so fresh, delicious, and healthy! I also love that they have plenty of options for vegans and vegetarians and their patio is dog friendly. It is an added bonus they have Lost Province beer on draft too!

Stopped by for lunch just in time to beat the after-church crowd. Our server was very friendly and attentive, and we enjoyed the outdoor seating. Everything was fresh and delicious! I enjoyed trying the various salsas, my personal favorite was the mango, and my boyfriend's was the fire roasted house salsa. I would come back again!

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).

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. :(

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 .

Stopped by on the first night of a ski trip. Surprisingly varied beer selection, and great prices as well. They have signature boats, which are all variations on rice, meat, veggies, etc. I had one with bbq salmon and pineapple. It was very filling. You also get a choose of homemade hot sauces. I was not blown away by anything, but it was definitely a good meal. read more

Visiting Boone for the first time, this place came highly recommended for lunch by a student from App State. The staff was friendly and helpful, quickly putting tables together for our party of five. Four of the five are picky eaters and the waitress was extremely accommodating to our special requests and made us feel at home. The menu is awesome if you like healthy, but hearty meals, well worth the price, leaving you full but not feeling guilty about what you ate. Whoever made up the menu, did a great job! It was really hard to choose. Even my husband was happy (he's the pickiest.) The atmosphere was artsy and laid back, but with very good service. Our food came out quickly, everything was correct and the waitress checked on us regularly. Overall, had a great lunch and hope we can come back on our next trip to Boone! read more

Great meal the other night, Fortunately, we picked a Thursday night and it wasn't too busy. Lots of empty tables. For some reason, I was seated and despite all the empty tables, a small group was seated right next to me. Hmmm, do you think with all this space we could spread it out a little bit so we don't have to listen to each others' conversations? Also, my bill was Just under $15, so gave the waitress a $20, hoping to get some singles for a tip. She brought me a $5 bill. Argh...had to then go ask for singles so I could leave a 20% tip...As a former waiter, I am sometimes amazed that people don't think of these things. read more

The plantain was cooked properly, but it would have been nice to have more than one small piece. The beef and curry chicken hand patties were quite good. Both had nice flavor and were more filling than expected. The selection of fillings does change, and they also run out of certain fillings so the availability does change. The food here is very good and the variety can keep you occupied for several trips. Or, you can just re-order your favorite every time and still walk away more than satisfied.

For entrees my husband got the salmon massaman curry and I got the chicken mushroom noodles. The mushroom sauce was earthy and full of depth. I loved the grape tomatoes and the pop of sweetness they brought to the noodles. There's street parking around and two bathrooms that are spacious and clean in the restaurant. We got the house fruit punch for drinks which is a blend of orange, guava and pineapple juice. They also serve kombucha, tea, a variety of beers, and many other drinks. Two entrees ended up being around $72 including tax and tip.

Great spacious place, amazing service, not too loud and the food was absolutely spectacular! You get a salad (with choice of homemade dressings) and a piece of bread with your entree.

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.

This was my first experience with Caribbean food and I have to say that it blew me away! There wasn't anything about this place that I was disappointed with or disliked. The atmosphere, the service, the food and the presentation of the food was straight-up incredible. I really enjoyed this restaurant and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good place to eat in Boone. A group of 19 of my colleagues and I showed up unannounced around dinner time Thursday evening and were seated indoors. The interior is not very big, but easily accommodated all of us and additional customers could be seated outdoors on the patio or there were a quite a few extra tables inside. The atmosphere was very eclectic and fun, with bright colors and a variety of unique paintings on the wall. There was a casual and fun air to the restaurant and the waitress was great. The waitress was very nice and seemed to be really interested in us as customers; truly trying to make the experience great. She answered all of our questions and even suggested some great ideas to us. Additionally, when she wasn't able to serve us right away, it appeared the team of waitresses were working together well to accommodate all of the customers in the store, instead of each working their own section only. In addition to the very kind service, the food was served very quickly, including the drinks and appetizers, considering we were such a large group and it was their busiest time of the day. As for the food, it was incredible. For an appetizer, the table ordered a sampler tray, which had fresh tortilla chips and a variety of their salsas and dips. Personally, I enjoyed the chipotle and jalapeno dips the most and thought they had the best flavor. For the entree, I ordered the pacifico, which was a salmon burrito with roasted corn, sweet potato, black beans, and chipotle dip served with my choice of salsa, which was the mango habanero. When I received my dinner, it looked too awesome to eat, however, I was starving haha. It was presented with a beautfiul fresh orchid and in a very simple manner that was gorgeous to me. The burrito itself tasted great, too! The flavors blended well and the ingredients seemed to be very fresh. For dessert, one of my friends and I ordered a piece of their Carrot Cake. Being somewhat full, we split the piece and really enjoyed it. The cake was very moist and the flavors were exactly what I had hoped for: sweet, creamy, and fresh with a highlight of the spices that makes a carrot cake, carrot cake. I had a truly amazing experience here and hope to someday have the opportunity to revisit. read more

This place is a wonderful restaurant especially if you are in the mood to try something different. They have these things that are called "boats" which are basically casseroles in kind of a potato like dish. They mix a lot of different foods/vegetables in these dishes. A lot of the items were unfamiliar, but our waiter was extremely informed of the menu and answered my question about his favorites. They had this unique root beer in a bottle. It was more herbal like rather than the soda found in a typical wal-mart shelf. I liked how they had bottled drinks. I would prefer if they had given me the cap so I could have kept it as a keepsake, but they opened it for our convenience I suppose. I ordered the Pacifica which is a salmon burrito with all this other stuff in it. It was very good. Very big, but very good. It had coconut rice, sweet potatoes, peppers, black beans, and some seasoning sauce of some sort. It was pretty filling. I was pleased with my order. The Salmon was wonderful! The Coyote Kitchen Restaurant is unique in the cuisine as well. They have hamburgers, tacos, fish, and sandwiches. They also had a variety of sauces. They were all a little spicy, but it was still good. The chips I think could have been a little more fresh tasting. They were a little stale tasting. It is important to note that a group of 20 people, without notification, went in at dinner time and the service was super accommodating. They quickly pushed the tables together and got on taking orders and bringing out the food. The waiter and waitress were extremely busy, but were definitely great in providing quality service. They did forget the lemons, he promised but it was already busy in there that it is completely understandable. Overall, great experience! I enjoyed the variety of food, quality of service, and uniqueness of the food. read more

The coyote kitchen is a local restaurant that serves healthy food for anyone eating there. It may be different if your not use to the organic style of eating. It was quite difficult for me to choose what I wanted to eat. There is a nice variety of items but none of them were quite to my liking. Reluctantly, I chose the Island Jerk chicken melt with fries. It was pretty good but the portion size was small for the price. This was a matter that was not good to me at all. However, the service was great. The waiter was very nice and made sure we all were served adequately. She made sure each member of my group enjoyed their food by asking simple questions as in "How do you like the food?" and also "what else may I do to help you all?" These simple gestures went a long way and made me feel comfortable at the restaurant. Overall, the restaurant is a bit costly but if you enjoy healthy food with some Mexican flavor this place is for you. read more

The Coyote Kitchen was a "howling" experience. Walking in you see a smaller, less spacious establishment, but don't let it fool you. You may choose to eat on the Patio or inside. I was able to share this experience with 19 others of my EPG cohort! Walking in we were greeted by a friendly waiter and taken care of immediately. Looking at the menu I wasn't sure I would like anything, so I went for the basic burger. When the food came out and I bit into it, IT WAS AMAZING. Being American I have had many hamburgers i n my lifetime, but I can honestly say this was the best one I have had. The beef was pure and it was surprising that it wasn't greasy. The bun was toasted and perfect. Then I tried the salsa that went along with the meal, and again it was the best I have ever had. I recommend you stop by here without thought. It was amazing food and very filling. I know I and my colleagues left with a smile on our face and happy stomachs. read more

This unique Caribbean restaurant had an amazing atmosphere. The waiters and waitresses were very friendly. Ordering was very difficult for me because of the foods I like to eat. While everything seemed great, there were just bits of things that set me off. For example, coconut rice was common with the meals, and I am not a fan of coconut, unless its the real thing. I asked our waitress what is good to eat and she said that the boats were popular. The service was just great, even though we had a party of 20. The food didn't take much time to get out to us. If i was a local, I would eat here everyday, and actually try the different meals they had. Also, we ordered some chips and dip with a variety of sauces. Each sauce had a unique taste to it. I highly recommend you come and do it. I ordered the cheeseburger and it was just right. I enjoyed the juiciness of the burger. read more

Wow. I'm amazed of this place. I went with a group of 20 people (me included), the restaurant looked like it was already full reason why were doubting if we should go in or not. We heard about them on Yelp! they have the best reviews and the 5 ratings, we had to visit this place. We went in, and they were not expecting us but they took the challenge. Our drinks came in on time and our food as well! We were really amazed because our group has had negative experiences before because of our big number. The food however was delicious though pricy they were definitely worth it. If you're in Boone and looking for a good place to dine, eat outside, friendly and great service be sure to go to the Coyote Kitchen because it's awesome! read more

One of my top 3 favorite places to eat in Boone. The food is absolutely fantastic. Every time I have guests here, I take them to Coyote Kitchen. And, every time they come back again, they ask about this place. One thing (of many), that this place does right is consistency. They always have the freshest ingredients, best food selection, and great beer choices. The only thing that may be a problem for some is the location. While the actual restaurant is comfortable and homey, it doesn't negate the fact that it is located in almost a strip mall type thing right next to Walmart. Overall, fantastic experience! read more

This one is no less then 5 stars for sure. Everyone of my favorite flavors was perfectly combined into a such a creative dish. I had the fried plantain, sweet potato coconut rice with tofu and chipotle sauce along with other flavors used as an understatement. I enjoyed that meal to the max! Extremely well prepared and good presentation. The server was smiling and friendly as well as quick the whole time. The place is a little small, seems to be growing so I would hope they get more room soon! They' gonna need it! read more

When I first walked into this place I thought the food was going to be mediocre. I showed up with 19 people and thought the service would take forever. The food is Caribbean based. We all had our food within a half hour. There were only two girls serving us and they were so efficient and fast. I had a buffalo chicken wrap. This sandwich was phenomenal. the sauce and spices were so good, something so different than what Im use to eating. Our waitress was very kind and interested in making us happy. read more

I went to Coyote Kitchen for my dinner. they had pretty good stuff that I enjoyed. I ordered Chipostle chicken sandwich and root beer. I heard that they used lots of organic food from local and other store such as Costco. I felt that they used good ingredients. price was various from 5 to above 10 dollars. I don't think it is big deal because it is really worth it. also they had really good source such as salsa or ranch source. you will really like this place if you are health conscious person. read more

Nothing at all fancy. Very expensive small portions. They had a blackberry old fashioned as a drink special. I love old fashioned but not flavored so I asked if a regular one could be made. What I got was bourbon on ice with a cherry. No orange peel, no muddled fruit, no orange bitters I could taste but at least the pour was decent. $12.00. As soon as our drinks hit we were asked if we were ready to order. We haven't been there 10 mins. I'm not a fan of that in any way. It's supposed to be a dining experience not fast food. So off to a weird start. After a second visit in 5 mins to order I asked for at least time to finish our cocktail. Why the rush? 8 tables were empty. I ordered the heirloom tomatoes app, $18! See photo and what I got was a bowl of chopped tomatoes in juice with olive oil and chunks of cheese. One step above a cold chunky tomato soup. The server did say it was "different" but $18 for 1 chopped tomato? I asked for salt as it was lacking but it was never brought. We ordered a bottle of wine called Caymus The Walking Fool Red Blend, menu price $100. It was very good so after a sip or two I looked it up on Vivino as I might buy some at retail. The retail price at Total Wine is $29.99! A $70 gouge mark up! Ouch. We like expensive wine and are aware of restaurant make up but $70? Now we are wondering what the main course is going to be like. We have growing discontent. I ordered the Ciopino $48.00. It was a tiny serving of tomato-ish broth, with 1 scallop, 2 shrimp and a tablespoon of codfish seasoned with slivers of fennel and a piece of bread. The piece of bread was the only reason you don't leave hungry after that dish. On a positive note the peach cake was pretty good. $12.00 Now my bill comes and there is a $7.71 Credit Card use charge. Jeeze, prolly won't go back.
