Stopped in for a meal as a pre-celebration for my daughter's upcoming 10th birthday!…read more Most of the places we usually go to were completely packed with wait times over 45min. We did a quick Yelp search and stumbled upon Basil's. We called ahead because online it was suggested to make reservations - I called and they said they were accepting walk ins and they weren't too busy. Upon arrival a few minutes later, we were seated promptly and our drink orders placed. It was a peaceful and quiet venue. I'm not sure what it's like when busier but there were quite a few tables seated but it wasn't too loud and the music was pleasant and relaxing. We took some time to review the menu and settled on frittes, calamari and Brussels sprouts for appetizers. Unfortunately, they were out of calamari. I mistakenly read the frittes as being a mix of potato, sweet potato and eggplant. The server clarified that it's one choice but they could make it with a mix of them all upon request. Because I had the kids with me, we just went with potato. The garlic aioli dip and the parmesan garnish on the fries was absolutely delicious! Have to say I wasn't a huge fan of the Brussels - I didn't find them to be crispy enough and that could've been due to the excess amount of the maple Dijon glaze (pictured). The glaze was delicious but overpowering for the dish. My kids ordered the kids burger and chips and the buttered noodles. They all enjoyed it and the price was reasonable at around $8 per kids meal. I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and the strawberry and arugula salad. Loved the salad and enjoyed the spaghetti and meatballs as well. I would say that the fennel was a little strong in the meatballs but aside from that I loved the dish and couldn't finish it due to the large portion. It was $21 but a sizable amount given it was lunch. We also ordered the pesto chicken melt (forgot to take a pic) but it was probably our favorite item out of everything we tried. The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly! The food was very tasty and came out relatively quick. Overall, we're happy to have had the opportunity to try out a new place that we can add to our rotation when we visiting Boone.

The house made potato chips are something special, and at their best (in my opinion) dipped in the house made vegan ranch (vegan Lily's sauce is a close 2nd). Today we got teriyaki tofu nuggets, Buffalo tofu nuggets (both came with the chips and a dipping sauce) along with fried pickles (we got extra dipping sauces). It has a beach/tiki bar vibe inside (albeit slightly dark) with tables and a few parking spots out front. Dog friendly (outside) and even brought a dog bowl of water. We just love this place. Friendly service. Hospitable atmosphere with clear values (pro LGBTQ, anti-racism, etc.). Reasonable prices.

cool atmosphere with a cool crowd. Only massive complaint is the format of their karaoke on…read moreTuesday. It's supposed to be a more fair method where the emcees have random selections, however they seem to be easily persuaded to alter the order. The emcees typically let their friends go more often than others, and the removal of the typical chronological list makes the commitment to a simple night of karaoke particularly egregious.The model does not work and typically leaves patrons disappointed because they spent 4 hours at the bar just to sing once. I would appreciate if staff considered going back to the list signup so that we would know when we would be able to sing again. I think that the new setup has cost the bar significant attendance on Tuesdays, as now it is rarely full and does not cater to people who want to do karaoke within a set timeframe. It was much better when I and my friends could come and sing 3 songs in two hours and then leave at a reasonable time where now people have to wait 2 plus hours to sing between songs.

They were very nice, the place was pretty quiet as it was off season so the food came out quickly…read more It was just mediocre though. The bagels (I got an egg everything) were still somehow flavorless. An everything MUST have salt- it's non negotiable. In lieu of that- adding a touch of salt to the cream cheese would have helped. Salt is not meant to make things salty but to bring out the flavors of the food. Without it- it's one note bland. Pancakes were decent but for a bagel place please make the bagels more edible. Had a decent cream cheese ratio though but because it was all flavorless it didn't really matter. Simple tweak but can probably make this place really solid

There is seating inside and out. Definitely a no frills spot- cutlery is plastic, plates and cups were paper, coffee came in to-go paper cups. The food was fine- nothing special. The bagels didn't taste as homemade as I expected. They did have a large menu and offered a lot of breakfast items- more than just bagels. The service seemed a bit slow for what we ordered, but it looked like a ton of people were waiting in the lobby, so they may get a lot of to-go orders that backed up the kitchen. The waitress was nice!

Gotta new guy this time and he didn't understand what I meant when I said the Veggie. He asked what…read morekind of meat and I was like, "no meat, like I just want the veggies..." After we got on the same page I think he felt bad because he completely loaded it down with every veggie except for sliced green peppers. I mean, like double what they usually give you. I could only eat half of a regular and polished the other half off later at home because I didn't want 'the juice' to make it soggy. To end out this awesome experience the guy asked the other guy how to ring up a vegetable sub. Number 14, I whispered...One of the best subs I've had from there. Spicy mustard with a smear of C.P.R.

Now Publix just needs to come to Connecticut!…read more I have loved Publix ever since I was a child growing up in South Florida. For years, my grandmother shopped there, my mother shopped there, and honestly everybody I knew shopped there. It was one of my grandmother's favorite stores, so Publix has always felt special and familiar to me. Everyone is always so friendly, the food is delicious, and their bakery... oh my goodness, the Key lime pies are AMAZING! I was so excited when Publix opened in Boone. Every time I visit my family in North Carolina, I buy four Key lime pies to fly home to Connecticut with me. The bakery staff is always so kind and helpful. They leave the pies in the bakery boxes instead of putting them in the plastic pie containers they normally sell them in, which actually makes them much easier and safer to travel with. I use a pie carrier bag, and they always make it so easy. Wonderful customer service every single time!

Haven't had it in a while so I got a plate - about the same size i always get that usually rings up (by weight) $7-$8. Today it was over $13. Don't give me that inflation crap. It should be double. For that price I can get a full combo from an actual asian restaurant around the corner. Also...it tasted...old. Maybe it was an off day but that doesn't change the price. I always grabbed a tall can of Arizona tea from the deli coolers. They have replaced those with their own HT brand (half the size, 50% more expensive). Meat department is one of the better in town as far as selection but the guys in the meat department are all jerks. They always act like anything you ask for is a real interruption to their day. One guy (was his name Ed???) is the worst. A manager overheard our interaction once a while back and stopped me a couple aisles over to apologize and see what he heard was not acceptable and he would be addressing it. Guess he hasn't or it didn't help. Better deals other places but if you want a better selection or specialty items you might find them here. I'll keep buying the staples other places and hit HT for only the things I can't get elsewhere.
