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. I was hoping that the rolls would be homemade but they were not. All in all it was a nice experience.

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!

I LOVE Remedy!!!!…read more This is a great stop year-round to come grab a drink, catch up with friends, enjoy a great vibe, and savor tasty flatbreads and pastries. Whether you're looking for coffee to start your day or beer/wine/cocktail to close out; you're set with Remedy. As far as food goes, Remedy has amazing flatbreads - specifically the Fromage and West Ender are my favorites. They also have fun little charcuterie boards with a decent selection of tasty goodies. The staff are always solid - respectful and pretty quick with service around the room and behind the bar. This is also a great place to bring your laptop or a book and get some work done or enjoy a relaxing read. Lots of comfy places to sit.

Okay, I have had a vacation house in Boone for over 23 years ..even one of my kids went to App…read moreState, and I really feel ashamed I have not noticed FARM over the thousands of times I have walked down King Street. 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.

This is the kind of coffee shop where you walk in and immediately feel welcomed and at home…read more Not only was the woman making our coffee friendly and kind, but she was also incredibly patient and accommodating. From the moment we walked in, it felt like more than just a place to grab coffee, it felt like a community. I came in with my husband, my mom, and our two little girls, and we were greeted with so much warmth and genuine joy that we were honestly overwhelmed. This kind of kindness isn't something we experience often where we're from, and it made a lasting impression on our family. Even the other customers were welcoming and full of joy. You can tell this coffee shop is built on love, not just for great coffee, but for the people who walk through its doors. The Pay It Forward board is such a beautiful and genuine reflection of that spirit. I cannot recommend this place enough. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by. You won't be disappointed. I only wished I lived closer!

The food was definitely the highlight, and I'll be back to try some of the other menu items. The service, however, could use a little improvement. Our server took a while to come over, and there were several moments where she seemed unsure about the menu. The sign at the door and the menu both said to ask about the grilled cheese of the day. When I asked, she responded in a very perplexed tone, "Umm, I think it's..." -- which was a little surprising since it was already 1 p.m. When she told me what it was, I realized it had meat. I even said, "Oh darn, it has meat on it," since I'm vegetarian, and she just replied, "Yeah." I noticed later that the menu says many items can be modified for vegan and gluten-free diets, so it would have been nice if she had mentioned that the grilled cheese could potentially be customized. I also asked what the soup was, and again she had to stop and think before saying, "I believe it's..." The name/description was unusual, so when we asked her to repeat it, she didn't really explain what it was. I'm still not entirely sure what the soup actually was. I was a server for years, and I completely understand not knowing every little thing, but knowing the daily specials and being able to describe them is pretty important. There was also some confusion about the breakfast menu. I was surprised to learn that grits are available after 11 a.m. on Saturdays. I asked if breakfast was served all day and specifically mentioned that I knew gravy and grits weren't available after 11 based on the menu. She then told me that on Saturdays they are available, which seems like something that could probably be clarified on the menu. Overall, the service wasn't bad, it just felt like it was lacking a little energy and attentiveness. We were never offered or given a refill on our sodas either. That said, the food was DELICIOUS, and the atmosphere is really cute and relaxing. I definitely plan to come back and try more of the menu. Hopefully the service was just an off day, because this little restaurant has a lot going for it!
