It underwhelmed me - more cheese than shrooms and the "au jus" was basically mushroom soup lol not what I expected. The Lima beans were great though!

Social on Main is my husband's and my favorite place for breakfast while visiting Blowing Rock…read more They are even better than our now-closed old favorite, Sunny Rock Eggs & Things. On this last trip, we went twice. I got the Beth Ann Clark both times. I just love their cheesy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, fruit, and french toast. My husband tried two different entrees this time--the Butch Triplett (corned beef and eggs) and their breakfast burrito. Their corned beef is likely from a can, but it's so good because they cook it so it's very crispy. I always steal some of his corned beef to add to my eggs! Their breakfast burrito is amazing. It's simply filled, with just scrambled eggs, cheese, small bits of ham, and hash browns. It's topped with an enchilada sauce that is similar to a ranchero sauce, and is served with sour cream and guacamole. It's a massive burrito, and SO GOOD! My husband said it's his new favorite. Social on Main is popular, and so we always go early (before 8am). After 8am, there is usually a wait--especially on Saturdays. Their servers are always friendly, and the food is delivered fast. Their coffee is nice and strong, too. I wish we had a Social on Main near our house, because we'd visit them weekly. Give them a try if you are in Blowing Rock for a visit and want a great breakfast!

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.

We happened to be lucky enough to be spending a couple of days close to this gem of a coffee shop…read more We stopped in the first day because I heard someone in the lobby of hotel mention she was enjoying a Peanut Butter & Jelly Latte from the shop nearby. We walked over and we were so glad we did! By PB&J Iced Latte was so good! The cold foam on top was so yummy and the drink really did taste like a PB&J. The Iced Chai was also delish! It was spicy and not overly sweet. We stopped by before we left town the next day - for one more PB&J Latte, another Chai as well as the Blackberry Lemonade and a few baked treats for the road. The Blackberry Lemonade was a fun drink - icey and refreshing! (It was pretty sweet, but also tart - really good) The staff were SO welcoming (especially the sweetest baby ever at the register ) Everyone behind the counter was smiling and actively working which is why our drinks were ready fairly quickly both days despite the crowd. The shop had fun little gifts and stickers which tempted us while we waited. We were happy to see so many Gluten Free treat options - they were all individually wrapped which made them even safer for our son with celiac. This is a great place - we will definitely stop in next time we are in the area!

We ended up just ordering coffee, and although the line moved pretty quickly, it took quite awhile to get our drinks, and one came out way later than the other. We sat in chair in the back and it was pretty comfortable. On a quieter day, I think you could sit and check emails here or chat with a friend. We had hoped to order food as well, but they were out of a lot of items and warned that egg bites would take 15+ mins to make, so we passed on that. Overall, I'd give it another chance, as the coffee was enjoyable. Felt like they were caught a little off guard that day.

It took us 45 minutes to find a parking spot. I arrived at 1 in the afternoon with 2 hangry teenagers. One restaurant claimed a 1.5 hour wait and another 2 hours! Luckily the girls had spied some vintage clothing outside of a little Cafe. So back down the street we trudged. What a gem!! No crowd, our turkey and veggie burgers were cooked to our liking in minutes. Bonus-- each girl scored a lovely vintage piece of clothing that had them grinning from ear to ear. Beware, this is neither fancy nor anything close to gourmet. But in a pinch, it suited us wonderfully. You could NOT meet any nicer folks than Dean and Shanaat! Hugs all around when we left.

The waitstaff was very kind- that's the only highlight. The shrimp were rubber- and they put everything on skewars which is weird. It's like the shrimp fully evaded any salt and pepper. Got the pad see ew which was super mushy. Their mango salmon and shrimp was insanely overcooked. But the sauce it was in was flavorless and oily. My husband eats everything and would not finish it because it was so bad. Their purple rice was the mushiest thing ever. I have never seen an Asian restaurant that can't make rice. Like that's the bare minimum -Asian folks are rolling in their graves over how bad that is. They have zero kid options- so one kid got the crispy chicken fried rice which was also so bland and mushy but had pockets of strong ginger and soy taste but not well distributed- the chef has zero knife skills- half of the scallions were huge and half were cut right. The chicken was also cut weird. Like half in super thin strips and half in giant chunks. Son's chicken pho was 100% star anise. It was the only flavor in there. The chicken was all fatty and flubby. The decor was even more strange. They were simultaneously decorated for valentines, Christmas, Thanksgiving and had weird Asian "pillows" Wrapped in plastic. I literally would eat anywhere else before ever coming back here The waitress was nice enough to take the pad see ew and rubber shrimp off our bill- but I'd pay to never ever eat that food again as long as I live. Please do not be fooled by the reviews which feel like they are written by bots. This was SO bad. Abort mission- eat anywhere else.
