Comfort food at its finest! This is a place you just get the "feel good" vibes from start to finish. Is it fine dining? No. Do they have a Michelin Star chef? Absolutely not. What they do have is the vibes, comfort food and amazingly friendly hospitality. A no frills spot where whatever you order you're leaving satisfied and a little extra pep in your step. A local joint that takes care of you, whether you're in for a full meal, you're doing a quick pit stop between the workday, or you're dropping in before they day begins and picking up fresh and ready made food to go so you can hit the road without hassle. The breakfast special was perfect. Gooey and cheesy eggs, tasty fried green tomatoes, perfect consistency and flavorful grits, with a hot and fresh biscuit. My belly was doing the happy dance before during and after. And my wife's chorizo burrito was perfect as well. And you can get it in two sizes depending on how hungry you are. Whenever we're up here, we will stop in for the feel good vibes and comfort food every single time. read more

Great place to eat breakfast or lunch. Service is great. Food even better. Great burgers, omelets, salads, etc.

Enjoy very casual dining for breakfast and lunch--they serve fried green tomatoes! they are one of my favorite dishes and this restaurant does them well. Also enjoy espresso--another delight of mine. We have been back twice and plan to make it a Saturday habit. I agree with the other positive reviews. Good food, friendly people and folksy atmosphere. Ree S. read more

Stopped in for a quick Saturday afternoon lunch. As you walk in, you'll find a chalkboard with menus for you to look over. When you're ready, you'll find place your order at the counter, where they give you a number to take to your table. The young woman taking orders was very knowledgeable of the menu, and was able to answer several questions from our group of 4. Drinks as self-serve, with a selection of Pepsi products, tea, water, and coffee. After placing our orders, we found a booth in the back, and in less than 10 minutes, our four entrees were delivered hot and fresh to the table. One thing we noticed, as three of us had ordered dishes with chicken as the main protein, was just how tender and juicy the chicken was, even the tenders. The bowls we ordered (sweet potato fried rice with grilled chicken and crunchy sesame slaw with hot ginger chicken) were amazing balancing acts of flavor and texture. The BLT was simple but fresh, the perfect summer treat! Overall, a casual and laid-back atmosphere with excellent and imaginative dishes. If anything, you'll have trouble deciding which direction to go! read more

This place has anything that you could want. Diner food to elevated food. Gluten-free options and specialty coffees. We had the pleasure of stopping in here and really enjoying a meal before we went hiking. We talked to Dave and he was very kind and welcoming. We will be back when we're back in the area. read more

Holloway Corner Kitchen - Southern Near Me - Boone, North Carolina

Friendly folks serving tasty meals. A great local diner type atmosphere. Will be back!

love this place! great food, kind and friendly staff, and a super cool small town diner feel.

Was in town from Cincinnati and stopped in for the Friday fish fry/ bluegrass jam with two other friends. Our meals were so good. Hot as can be, delicious flounder, cod, catfish with hush puppies, fries and slaw. Hearty helpings and kind staff working. It was so relaxing and we were all pleased with our choices. One of the best decisions was the bacon fat chocolate chip cookie. Yea. Amen to that. read more

We had the gluten free chicken tenders basket with fries and the root beer. The gf chicken tenders were the best I've ever had and the root beer was SO good. read more

Incredible! Food is the best breakfast I've ever had. Coffee great, everything was great. Friendly hardworking staff

The food was brought to the table fresh and piping hot. Everything in the order was even better than imagined. Dave is a great host and spent time visiting with us. The bathrooms are amazing and everyone in our party toured both of them. The restaurant began to fill up but we were reluctant to leave. We will definitely return. read more

This is a super nice breakfast place, good food, good atmosphere and clean. We will definitely come back

It was Soo good! I got a breakfast burrito and it was so good!!! Flavorfull, imaginative with the ingredients and a full service coffee bar. Would definitely come back! read more

Have been several times and the food is always spot on good! Do yourself a favor and try the boudin balls. Fantastic!

Went for lunch on a Friday with friends from college! Food was delicious and the atmosphere was casual and welcoming. Family friendly too - will absolutely be back to support local when back in Boone, Blowing Rock, and surrounding mountain areas. Highly recommend! read more

The opening of Holloway Corner Kitchen has been eagerly awaited by locals since the previous deli and grocery store closed. And, just to add to the hype there were high expectations from the partnership of Head Chef Andy Long (Over Yonder chef-owner) and local musician Dave Brewer. I am very pleased to report that HCK slayed on all fronts. I am very much a menu critic and I can't remember a time where I've seen such a wonderful balance of standards, surprises, vegetarian, healthy and even grab & go options in a completely manageable menu size! The menus lean Southern with an emphasis on Louisiana cuisine. In addition the prices are very reasonable for the area and quality of ingredients. In our beautiful area that caters to leaf peppers, snow seekers and heat escapers there is no dearth of breakfast places and although many are perfectly fine most lack any unique options on their menu. HCK however has got the classics, twists on classic and innovations: biscuit and smoked sausage gravy, biscuit and livermush with SC&O potato chips & ramble sauce (Fosco is for Livers), biscuit with boudin ball (a mix of pork shoulder, chicken liver, rice, and spice stuffed w/ pepper jack cheese and fried in breadcrumbs) & smoked sausage gravy (The Zydeco). And y'all that's just the Biscuit section of the Breakfast Menu! There is still the Burritos, Bowls, Grab & Go and Sides sections of the just the breakfast menu to go! IMO highlights of these sections, in respect: State Champs '78 - eggs, bacon, american cheese, fried chicken, grilled onions and peppers, hashbrown bits, Ramble sauce; Cracklin' - grits, dipped cracklins (dipped in molasses), crispy collards, garlic cheese; Pocket Bacon - A pouch of pepper candy bacon for your all-day snacking needs. The lunch menu is just as great; poboys, buns, wraps, sandwiches, grains, greens, sides, sweets, kids menu & quick bites. We very much enjoyed our blackened chicken Cesar salad wrap that came lightly toasted with cheese on the exterior of the wrap and Lunch Beans - stewed chickpeas with olive oil, tahini, lemon and mint over spinach topped with sesame seeds and served with grilled flatbread. Next visit I'm getting the Mississippi Fried Chicken on a Stick - fried chicken thigh, potatoes, onion, pickles & ramble sauce! But, oh wait, I did see someone very much enjoying their Catfish Poboy... oh I'll bring my husband so we can also get the Cup of Cracklin' with Hot Molasses! Who else wants to join so we can just order the whole damm menu!? read more

We stopped in this morning to get breakfast and the whole experience was great. Food delicious, the coffee was outstanding (so much so we are going to order some for home) the atmosphere was great and the prices were very reasonable. We got there at the right time as it started to get busy after 9:00 am. Will definitely be back!! read more

Very rigid and not accommodating. We were there to have breakfast on the weekend when they advertise on the door that breakfast hours are extended an hour until noon. We arrived at 11:20am and they refused to serve us breakfast. They said adamantly that we could not have breakfast. We have eaten lunch there since and the food was mediocre at best. You order at the counter and the food is brought to you and you bus your own table when finished. read more

We went for the second time in about 8 months and it was different. My wife's chicken sandwich and you could hardly see the chicken. It was the smallest chicken breast sandwich I had ever seen. I had a burger that was fine but not above average. We probably won't be back. read more

Good atmosphere. Employees seem happy and were very pleasant. Clean, fun environment. Big stack of pancakes, bacon and coffee was only $10 and delicious!! Love that they keep their coffee cups in a warmer especially on this random snowy day. Will be back to try the biscuits next!! read more

Such a cool place! The Breakfast Plate had so much yummy food! The workers are friendly and helpful. Would definitely go back.

This place was right near where we stayed so we figured we would eat breakfast here one morning. You order at the counter then they bring you your food. Service was pretty good. We got a breakfast burrito, stack of pancakes, and the sausage and gravy biscuit bowl. All was very good! Price was great as well. read more

Hot fresh hand burritos ready at 7am is a game changer for my daily commute. Also the hot salsa is the best salsa I've ever had!! Great place to stop by for lunch as well. Atmosphere, staff, and food is amazing (especially for the price). Bonus points for their fountain Cheerwine. read more

This place is a winner! We had a wonderful first experience at HCK on our vacation to NC. The menu is brief but interesting with lots of healthy choices as well as Louisiana inspired selections. I had the bean lunch, super tasty! My wife had a shrimp po boy, also great. Lastly the frozen custard may have been the best thing. Try it, not a standard prepackaged mix. read more
