This cute little place on the main street of the small town of Valdese, NC, exceeded our…read moreexpectations. After a morning of hiking, we headed here for some beer and lunch. The place was spotlessly clean. The bartender and server were both super nice. This is not a brewery, but they have a solid selection of beers on draft, mostly from breweries in Western North Carolina. We had a great flight of porters and stouts for a little over half what we typically pay for a flight in Asheville. All of the beers were really good. We had heard that this place is known for its flatbreads and we love a good flatbread. The one we had here was more than good: it was excellent. The bread dough makes a huge difference in a flatbread. Theirs was sturdy enough to hold all the toppings and not let them soak in too much, and it had a nice crispiness to it. The toppings included goat cheese, basil, onions, banana peppers and a great balsamic vinegar. Instead of ordering two flatbreads to share, we ordered a side of their parmesan truffle potato wedges. I was a little skeptical because in the past when I've had fries with truffle oil, there was too much of it and the taste was overwhelming. Here they found the magic amount. You get the umami taste but it adds to the potato and parmesan flavors instead of covering them up. The wedges were crispy and browned on the outside, but still nice and soft inside. So my recommendation is this: go on a nice hike at Valdese Lakeside Park or visit the neighboring historic mill and waterfalls. Then come here for lunch!

Super nice and got the job done well!

In short order, they have learned our likes and dislikes and never to fail to guide us to old and new favorites. Weekly tastings open you up to new horizons and provide a chance to taste some seriously great wines without having to spring for a bottle that is above your average spend. Then again, Graddie and Caleb also have a way to seek and find great values. A bonus is that they offer food delivered from Table 31 next door, which is always excellent and tasty. The deviled eggs, Korean Cauliflower, French Dip and French Fries (crispy until the last bite) are always good as is the rest of their menu. I've had almost everything on the menu and have never been disappointed -- oh, I forgot to mention the Nashville Hot Chicken... If you haven't been to this cozy, intimate shop with a large patio area, you owe yours a treat. Cheers!

We made an early reservation because we had a show to catch later, and it is a good thing because even though there were only 4 other tables in the dining room the service was extremely slow. Our server only came a few times over the 2 hours we were there and food took an abnormally long time to arrive. We had water to drink, no alcohol. We had some shareable appetizers, 2 mains, and a shared side. Nothing crazy. They had a recent menu change according to the server and we are NOT a fan. They changed the bread app and it is not very good. The old bread app was chefs kiss, new one, 2 thumbs down. We had the meatball app, flavor and good, but they were literally cold inside. We would have sent them back, but they took so long to arrive that we didn't want to run out of time. My wife had the scallops, they were literally cold, had grit on them and there were 5 small scallops. I had a steak, it was cooked perfectly and was fork tender. However it lacked flavor and if i hadn't added the sauce it wouldn't have had any taste. The shared potatoes were just ok. Our food was cold, service was slow, portions were lacking, and our bill was over $180 with tip. We routinely go have a nice meal like this once a week and happily spend more than that on a killer meal, but this was lack luster compared to past visits. I can't say we will be back this time. Hope I hear they improve. To those about to dine, you have been warned.
