We went to Trojan Patio a few weeks ago on a Saturday morning with a group of 5 (three adults, two…read morekids.) The atmosphere is more cramped than you'd expect from the outside, with limited seating options and a rather small inside area. There was some outside seating but it was very cold and windy the day we went and that was expectedly empty. We were able to cram the 5 of us into a booth (good thing kids are small!). Service was decent though understaffed, and our server was very friendly! Trojan Patio definitely meets expectations for a local breakfast diner. The grill is visible, and no, it doesn't look like strict cleanliness is the first priority (but let's be real, that adds flavor right?) The menu had many options, and adults and children alike were equally satisfied with our meals. The coffee was good and served quickly. Really my only complaint is around the cramped space, which I realize is hard for them to correct. It's a great local dive for breakfast and with more space, I can imagine they would thrive! We're rarely in Sparta, but would not hesitate to return next time we're up there.

The food here is very good. I enjoyed the salmon over cucumber salad. My friends enjoyed the…read morepimento burger with green beans then had high praises for it. I would say one word of caution is that the menu is slightly inconsistent in calling out ingredients. They did remake the salmon for us, but the menu did not state that it had nuts when other menu items clearly stated nuts - and I have an allergy. The salmon sauce had almond sprinkled on top or perhaps added to the sauce itself. I had looked the sauce up on my phone and how to make it because I do a lot of my own cooking and I wasn't familiar with it. The recipes I was finding online never mentioned nuts and I was not expecting that. According to the kitchen, the sauce traditionally comes with nuts, but it wasn't stated on the menu and I couldn't really verify that by looking up recipes. I'm still giving them four stars because they made it right by remaining without nuts. The menu does have a good variety for people with eating restrictions around gluten.

Yesterday was really hot, and we had originally planned on eating somewhere else. Since we had our…read moredog with us, outdoor seating was a must, and the first spot just didn't have a great setup. We randomly parked beside this restaurant and noticed their outdoor patio, which looked absolutely inviting. It was shaded, relaxing, and best of all, not crowded. My wife had the burger and fries, and the burger was actually cooked to the temperature she ordered and seasoned really well. I had a toasted chicken salad sandwich, which was excellent. They also made me an amaretto sour, which was fairly priced and hit the spot. Overall, we would 100% go back. The servers were fast and efficient, everyone was extremely friendly, and they were especially kind to our pup. That always wins us over. To those about to nosh, we salute you!

We have a vacation home in the area and we've been waiting for the restaurant and bar to open. Our first visit gave us a sense that the owners and exec chef are looking to give visitors of the quaint corner of Ashe County a unique experience. A small menu (3-4 appetizers or first course; 5-6 dinner plates or second) but are packed with flavor punch: Elk steak, pork loins, ribeye (to be expected meat dishes but with a big city twist) with Polenta and risotto which is often a tough sell or precarious to cook. So good. Respectable wine list and full bar. If you are bougie... come to OH for big city meal and lovely environment; If your are country, come here for a very special experience without family or partner without the big city drama! And dessert... the s'more's or strawberry with rhubarb shortcake ---nummy! After dinner, take a stroll down main street. The lights in the trees, moutains, and old cars cruising by.. it's like the old days!

This is for the Ginseng Room, their elevated dining experience. First, I want to say THANK YOU to…read morethe management for keeping the music at a low enough volume that you didn't have to shout to be heard. This allowed diners to speak at normal levels and it never got loud, even as the place filled up. Our waiter, Arlen, was friendly and attentive and gave us good advice on what to order. I was pleased to see that the restaurant partners with so many local vendors. The wine list offered local wines (and more), and the prices were reasonable. The dining experience began with a complimentary amuse bouche of cornbread, prosciutto and pepper jelly. Very nice. I had the pork tenderloin (served on the rarer side of medium rare) and hubby had the elk. Both were spectacularly good as were the sides. Plating was beautiful. Then a complimentary palate cleanser of strawberry sorbet with fig oil. Really different and very good. The whole evening was lovely and exceeded our expectations and we'll be back! So glad to add the Ginseng Room to fine dining options in our area!
