The bread is really dry and I thought the sandwhich would be pressed for some reason, but it's not horrible. My only complaint is that some of the staff was rude. After paying, I heard one of the girls sarcastically complain about how much I tipped. The 2 girls then proceeded to complain about another customer that came in and complained about how little she tipped. I find this very rude and awkward af; like why are you talking sh- about customers when you're literally standing in front of multiple customers. I don't know if she thinks people can't hear their conversation behind the counter, but the entire restaurant can lol. The girl who rang me up was really nice though. Just an FYI, I didn't even tip low, I'm not sure how much she was expecting me to leave for making some smoothies and a sandwhich lmao. But I don't think I'll be coming back here just because of them. Felt like mean girls in high school talking about other people. They also kept giving weird looks and just had an off putting attitude; weird vibes. I would give 1 star but that smoothie alone is worth a star, so good!

I got one with coffee and chai and it wasn't too sweet... it just hit NICE. It was perfect kismet to find this little haven of clean eating in between major stops on the road. You could tell a lot of love and care goes into the food here. Food came fast... our 'server' was super nice and patient (I couldn't decide between the burrito and açaí bowl)... glad I went with the burrito. I'm jealous of all you Asheville locals!

It is very nice and clean. They let us park our stroller at the front. Restrooms: They have two single use restrooms. One has a changing pad for babies. Both of their restrooms were very clean. Service: We were warmly welcomed and served from the minute we entered Veranda. All the staff was soooo friendly and passionate about what they do. I felt right at home! You can also tell this is a place where locals go because some of the staff knew guests by name. Food: The food was fantastic. I had their 'Hungarian Mushroom Soup' which was delicious! My husband had one of their sandwiches and loved it. We will definitely back if we return to Black Mountain!

Our server was quick and so was the time we got our food after ordering. The bread, cheese and vegetables were fresh and tasty. The grilled chicken in my sandwich was very chewy and tough. It did not have a lot of flavor to it. It was a bland, white piece of chicken with little to no seasoning. It appeared and tasted liked it were boiled chicken breasts.

On our first visit to Morganton we were looking for a lunch place as it was early afternoon. We…read morewanted something quick and easy so that's why Blackbox Sandwiches caught our attention. It's in a tiny strip center on the way out of town heading to I-40 and from the outside seems like a very generic shop. There was no one else there, as we were late in the lunch window. We were greeted instantly, and from there every interaction with the team was very engaging. Even the people preparing the food interacted with us to ask how things were as our meal went along. Very personable. Let's get to the food. I opted for their special of the day, which was The Shawarma pita sandwich. I'm including a picture of its description and of the sandwich itself. My wife ordered the Kaleidoscope, which is a vegetarian sandwich, but she went with their option to have it served as a salad, which meant it was in a bowl and on a bed of seasonal greens and topped with lemony garbanzos. The Kaleidoscope also boasts kale, red wine shrooms, crunchy house pickle, caramelized onions, and an herb green sauce. It was a flavor explosion. Everything blending unbelievably well. The dish showed creativity not only in the mix of ingredients, but the presentation as well. I'm sure it would've been a great sandwich, but it was killer as a salad. My special of the day, The Shawarma Greek pita was wonderful. Everything I love about Greek food and spices all neatly put together in a tasty pita sandwich. I opted for it to be "herby"rather than spicy and it was a beautiful blend of flavors. Blackbox was surprising for its food quality and tremendous customer service in a non-descript setting with paper plates and cans of soda. We would absolutely recommend it. There are some tables where you can eat on site or it appears many people takeout. This is a gem. Try it!

Wow, wow, wow. These sandwiches are some of the best I've…read moreever had. We ordered the midnight snack and the kaleidoscope+pastrami. Not only were they large, but everything was fresh, and crazy delicious. I could drink the herby sauce on the midnight snack. The owner was so kind, grabbed a high chair for our toddler, and gave us a cookie to try. It was the best chocolate chip I've ever had. They swap out baked goods and I'm always envious when I see the daily special on instagram and I'm too far away to snag it. We can't wait to go back!

The cookie was super moist, the root hash was pure freshness, and I could have eaten the sandwich all day because the sausage was extremely juicy, the eggs were cooked perfectly, the bun was well-warmed, and the feta and chimmi-mayo only added to the flavor. Overall, this is one of the ideal breakfast spots.
