We took a day off from work to spend some good quality time together. We were headed straight for…read moreone of our favorite restaurants in Blowing Rock and then on the way I said, nope, starting now we are venturing out more like we used to. New experiences this next year and starting now! I searched online while the hubby drove and came up with this spot. I ordered the three-meat plate which included two sides and hushpuppies, and my husband ordered the fish and chips (shocker-Brit!), which also included two sides of his choice. He raved about the piece of fish and after taking a bite, I had to agree. A nice thick piece and the breading was just right. Nice fries as well. I didn't try the beans but my husband enjoyed them. I wasn't as enamored with the meats I received. They were just ok as Q goes, lacking any smoke flavor or crunchy bits like I prefer. The sauces were delicious though and while I'm not usually much of a sauce person I enjoyed them and as a result enjoyed the meats. The slaw and collards I had were again just ok. Points for being house-made, but I adore cole slaw and this slaw is a bit dry and needs some oomph. A little Duke's and ACV would make this amazing. A nice crunch and chop is already there but I would tweak it a bit. The collards were cooked perfectly and tasty but again, ACV is needed. Maybe even just add it to the sauce mixes on the table, so folks can doctor their dishes if desired? Why a photo of the silverware you ask? I was so happy to get real silverware and heavy, substantial pieces! It elevates my experience, just me maybe. As I was grabbing a few more photos of the bistro I noticed a nice bourbon selection, and being a bourbon aficionado I had to get closer. I had a nice chat with the owner, who explained a special weekly event he does for folks to try some premium grade liquors at cost and even went on to explain that he makes most of his infusions and mixes in house. Big points for that. I only wish we didn't live over an hour away, but maybe we can get back for some cocktail events at some point. I would/will definitely return and try some other menu items. Service was great, cleanliness is clearly high on their list, and everyone was just super nice.

I had been told to try this place out by a coworker, specifically their breakfast. On a whim I…read moredecided to go at about 11:45am, hoping they'd still be serving breakfast but they weren't so we had the lunch menu. At first glance, the place is very run down, it has the old southern diner feel, but I don't think they have enough employees to keep the place up 100%. Our waitress was very very nice, she was having to wait on folks and go back to wash dishes since they don't have a dishwasher (at the time of me posting this anyways). Half the seating was closed off and the lights dimmed. Aside from the scenery of the place, this is the type of restaurant you'd take your southern grandma too and she'd love it. You have all these southern dishes to choose from!! I was personally excited to see they serve liver mush sandwiches, so that's what I got. I added egg to mine and it was not expensive at all. It was very basic but gosh was it yummy. I also had a side of tropical fruit which came with pineapple, papaya, and peaches. All of that plus a sweet tea totaled to about 10 dollars. I tipped generously because I felt bad that they had no help. I truly do think this place could be buzzing with business, they just need the employees/help to do it. If you're in the area, I do suggest you go in and try the food, while the ambience/scenery isn't the greatest, you will be served with a smile and get some delicious southern home cooking. I wish the owners the best of luck.

So no glass was poured by server for a satisfactory nod. When he walked away we poured ourselves a bit and then tasted. It tasted like pure vinegar. I received no cooperation when speaking about the situation, only a "I just work here, and I doubt the owner will do anything for you." I brought over half a bottle home just so my husband could confirm the nastiness of it, which he did. My suspicion is that the wine I ordered was replaced by some horrible low cost wine that had gone bad. Will not repeat this mistake. Just stick with the water. Also, meat was cooked medium well, not medium and my co-diner had to ask for the black bean patty she ordered because it was missing from her sandwich.

So maybe we just had higher expectations than we should have, but we were disappointed…read more We came in and only 1 other table was occupied so we were happy to be sat and served quickly. The server would hardly speak to me and even my husband commented that he didn't know what her issue was with me specifically. They were out of their daily special of chicken dumplings because the other table apparently ordered the last bowl so we had to pivot, which wa fine. We ordered a mozzarella stick appetizer, a bacon cheeseburger and fries, a chicken club and fries, and a regular hotdog "all the way" with fries. We also all 3 had tea. My son and I got 1 scoop of ice cream each at the end. The girl who scooped the ice cream was way over to us than our server was. The sandwiches seemed to be pretty good, the fries were good, my hot dog was the worst hotdog I've ever had. There was so much mayo (which I don't think usually comes on a hotdog all the way but each place is different) that all I could taste was the mayo and bread. The bread was hard on one side, the hot dog was tiny and over cooked to where it was tough. Our total was right at $70. We would have went to Applebees or Olive Garden if we had anticipated spending $70 on a lackluster dinner that I didn't even eat but half of and the server never even asked if everything was okay. All in all everything would have been fine if the hot dog hadn't been inedible and if the price wasn't that of a chain sit down restaurant

First of all, staff were standoffish/very low energy, cutting us off when asking questions about the very very extensive menu. So, okay fine, moving on... I have worked as a barista in the past so maybe my expectations for coffee shops is higher than others, but even when I've asked for drinks to be made less sweet/no toppings/no whipped cream, they always come out still tasting insanely sweet. If you like dessert-in-a-cup styled drinks, this is your place! This is the first time I've gotten food here and tbh I would pass on getting breakfast here if I were to go again. The everything toast was okay, but very very over seasoned and salty so I couldn't even finish it, and my husband got an omelette with some veggies and turkey added. Turkey was cold and the veggies were raw and to be honest, when I'm paying $40 at a coffee shop, I expect to be able to at least stomach the food and drinks I'm getting. Other than the consumables, the interior is very cute and there's many seating options available.
