This quaint little cafe is located in Rhonda, a few miles west of Elkin. When I pulled up, honestly my first impression was, "Oh. Not sure about this one." However, the reviews on Yelp were very good so again - don't judge the book by its cover. I went inside, cautiously, and was greeted by one of the employees. The cafe is small and the booth I sat in seemed somewhat unstable. I ordered meatloaf with green beans and a side salad. I actually enjoyed the meatloaf. It was very moist and tasty. The green beans were also very good. The salad was...well, if I go back I would probably select a different side as they had plenty of good options.

A Southern Gem Worth the Stop Every Time!…read more I first discovered Central Café about three years ago during the Ground Steak Festival in Dobson. I had never even heard of a ground steak sandwich before, but they had a booth at the festival, and I decided to give it a try. Let me just say--it was absolutely delicious! That fresh sliced tomato on top really took it to the next level. Since then, I make it a point to stop in whenever I'm back in town (I live out of state), and I've probably visited five times over the last few years. Each time, I've been met with warm, friendly service and that classic southern hospitality. The food is always fresh, comforting, and full of flavor. Beyond the ground steak sandwich, I've also tried their hot dogs and onion rings--both excellent. It's a great southern-style restaurant that keeps me coming back whenever I'm in the area. Central Café is a local gem and a must-try if you're passing through Dobson!

The high wooden bookshelves and designated reading tables give it literary cachet, but The Remedy leans more cozy than stuffy. There's plenty of seating inside and out, and this would be as good a place for a group as it would be for partaking solo. Part coffeeshop and part bar, The Remedy also offers baked goods, flatbreads and charcuterie alongside its coffees, teas, and cocktails. I passed on the food (it seemed overpriced), but the coffee left no room for complaint. I went with a marshmallow iced latte. It was prepared quickly, and it made for a smooth sip: not too sweet and no acidity. Winston-Salem has no shortage of places to grab a drink of the caffeinated or alcoholic varieties, but it's hard to beat the atmosphere that The Remedy has to offer.

Dori and I were looking for lunch one day while visiting Boone, and ended up in FARM, mainly due to visiting Boone Belles right next door. What was an accidental encounter turned in a fantastically spiritual experience. Like all my write ups, I am giving my opinion based on the type of restaurant, service level expectation and the price. The business model is to feed everyone who walks in whether you can pay for it or not. You can eat for free, pay $10 (or as much as you like), buy food tokens to leave in the token jar (passing on a meal) or work off your food in the kitchen or helping out... again as much or little as you want. The atmosphere is what your would expect in a cafeteria with folks servicing you off the line. The food is fresh farm to table and you only pay $10 for your meal, of which they have few options and basically tell what you can order. ... the food for the price was exceptional. There were folks from all walks of life from well off families to homeless folks off the street. The tables are tight and few in number, but not so much to be instructive. They are close enough to do one of my favorite things, meeting people and hearing their stories. So eat, meet and move on to make room for others. You really can miss it if you do not know it's there...look for it tucked away between Boone Belles and the Horton Hotel. In summary, if you are looking for a different dinner adventure, a good meal for services and price, and want to do some good in the world please check out the FARM Restaurant.

It was nice to cleanse the palate with the juicy fruit. We ended up coming back the next day so I'll be reviewing a lot of the dishes here. What we got: Maple glazed donut - 5* the perfect fluffy donut. And large to boot! I was honestly disappointed when we finished it. Avocado toast - 5* got a over medium egg on it which was really the cherry on top. It has a good amount of seasoning on it but not overbearing. My first bite was a bit saltier than I would've liked but everything else was perfect so I think it was a fluke. Biscuits and Gravy - 4.5* a tad too much pepper for my liking but other than that this was perfection! Fluffy, buttery biscuit and delicious gravy combos make my heart sing. Loaded Omelet - 4* it was loaded! Hope you like your meat because it's packed. The eggs were surprisingly fluffy though a little overcooked. Fried Potatoes - 5* delicious and complimentary to the meal. Java Breakfast - 3.5* the eggs weren't the best, the sausage was fantastic, and the pancakes were pretty good. They were thin and fluffy. French Toast - 4* the French toast was really good, the black raspberry topping not as much. It was a bit too thick and gelatinous for my taste. The syrup that comes out with the meal is good though. Quiche - 2* my least favourite. I was really excited for this one and had high expectations. Unfortunately it was a thin and chewy quiche and lacked flavor. Fried pie (strawberry rhubarb) - 2* I wasn't a fan. The syrup was too gelatinous and lacked the flavor I'm used to when you have strawberry rhubarb. The inside looked like the syrup you get when you add too much cornstarch to thicken up fruit sauces. It didn't taste like cornstarch though so no worries there. Glazed donut - 3.5* (my partner says 4*) these are half priced if they're a day old. They heat them up for you if you want, which we did. It was alright but still good for being a day old. I'd choose fresh if it was available though.

The restaurant has a nice, open concept, a bistro feel that one would expect from the other reviews and their strong coffee culture. We arrived at 12:48, so the end of lunch hour on a Monday and were promptly seated at a two top window seat. Except the orientation of the table was one of us looking out the window and one looking into the restaurant, perpendicular to the window. Not a big deal, but I've seen parallel to the window table seating with both able to look out the window and optimizing that space work much better. There was a bottle of still water and two glasses on the table as their standard practice, nice touch, especially since we had just walked 5 miles of the Virginia Creeper Trail. So, we had researched where to eat in town and felt we had earned a few extra calories and this restaurant had high reviews, so it was our number one selection. We were seated within a couple of minutes we had menus and our order was placed. We were informed though, that they were out of the special of the day, the grilled cheese. Now, I wasn't planning on having a grilled cheese, but immediately I began to wonder, "how does one run out of a grilled cheese" and also I wondered why would you tell me about a special that I didn't know about if you had just run out of it? I wasn't the only one, I overheard a nearby table ask the same thing. Turns out it was a grilled cheese with apple butter and steak. Sounded pretty good, but it probably shouldn't have been mentioned so that I wouldn't want one. Instead, I had "Your Rabbi's Favorite Reuben". Each sandwich on the menu comes with a pickle spear and chips or you can upgrade to fries for +$4 or truffle fries for +$5. So I ordered truffle fries. But they didn't have truffle fries, would I like Parmesan fries instead? No thank you, just the regular fries. And a water. My wife had the chicken salad sandwich with regular fries and a Diet Coke (8 ounces or so in a glass with ice). Which it turns out we were later informed no free refills on the Coke. In my many Reuben reviews, I always note that whether it's a fancy restaurant or a dive, if you can't at least beat out Arby's version, you are in trouble. The first half of my Reuben was okay. Warm throughout, not soggy on either side (a soggy underside is often the Achilles heel to many a Reuben) and was on marbled rye. Portions of components were all represented but not the "best Reuben ever" level or "lots of meat" as reported in other reviews. It was above Arby's, but not by much. It even looked just like Arby's version. It did have a better and more buttery toasted crunch on the bread, both sides. What was wild was biting into the second half of my sandwich, having eaten the mediocre first half. This half had significantly more meat, and you could tell that the meat was not pre-sliced but likely cooked on premise. Is this even the same sandwich?While notably better than the first half, the overall inconsistency of the sum total was disappointing and it was still just a "good" Reuben, as one in a field of many. I wound up just eating mostly the inside components of the second half, since it just wasn't exciting. The fries were an absolute fail and a disappointment. String fries that may have been under the warmer since start of lunch service. You know when a buddy orders a fast food meal and maybe your driving together in the car and finally after he eats all he wants and there are some left over fries that have been in the bag for about 45 minutes, but you eat some anyway? You've done it, admit it. Well that's what we got. Most of them left uneaten. They were terrible. My wife reported the chicken salad sandwich was good. Total bill was $50.53. I left $60 to cover tip. Unfortunately, when a restaurant is overpriced for the value, that extends to the tip too. For $30 per person, our expectations were higher and were not met with this visit. Plus, maybe for that price, one refill on the Diet Coke might be acceptable?
