    Boondocks Brewing is where I had lunch after going to Ashe County Cheese Store and seeing some of…read morethe murals downtown. It is West Jefferson's first commercial brewery. The restaurant opened back in 2012. It is veteran-owned and employee-run. The restaurant doesn't have its own parking lot, but there is free parking on the street and in nearby lots. There is both inside seating, with a bar, but I didn't get much of a chance to see that as I opted to sit outside. I was enjoying the much cooler temperatures in Ashe County and decided to enjoy the fresh air. The outdoor patio isn't overly fancy--it features standard picnic tables--but it is fully covered and provides a very nice, relaxing open-air environment. My waitress was as friendly as could be and gave me plenty of time to look at the menu as I was having trouble deciding between a burger, the pot roast or the apple salad. I went with the pot roast as it was something not on the menu at most places. It was roasted for 8 hours and had mashed potatoes, veggies and gravy. It was delicious, and I was happy with my choice. Although I am sure I would have enjoyed the other options, I narrowed my choice down to them as well. Boondocks is a gem of West Jefferson, and I've already been planning a return trip.

    We stopped in for a late lunch around 2 p.m. The restaurant is in a great location right on the…read moremain strip in downtown West Jefferson, and it looked inviting from the outside. After looking over the menu online beforehand, we were excited to give it a try. We were seated right away, but then waited over five minutes before anyone acknowledged our table. Our server, AJ (Adrianne, I believe), was friendly enough, but she seemed a bit overwhelmed or possibly stretched too thin. Since we'd already been waiting, we were ready to order both drinks and our meals at the same time, and that seemed to throw off the usual routine. Throughout the meal, it felt like we were inconveniencing her whenever we needed something, including asking if the music could be turned down. The food was the highlight. I had the biscuits with pimento cheese and fried green tomatoes, and the pimento cheese was exactly how I like it. My husband's tuna sandwich was good, although he wasn't a fan of the house fries--they were extremely thick, almost like eating a baked potato cut into wedges. We also ordered half sweet/half unsweet tea, but it was still much sweeter than we expected. The dining room itself felt a little plain for such a large space, and the 60s and 70s music was louder than we would have liked during lunch. Overall, the food was definitely the best part of our visit, and I'd order my meal again. With a little more attentive service and a more comfortable dining atmosphere, this could have been a much better experience.

    Property Review "Rest Assured", 193 Abbie Trail, West…read moreJefferson, NC Carolina Mountain Properties & Rentals 8 N. Jefferson Ave. West Jefferson, NC 28694 Rented house "Rest Assured" from Sept 7 through Sept, 25, 2021 - cost $6172 Expectations: For this amount of money ($342 per night), we expected a well-furnished and appointed Mountain Cabin, regrettably, it was not. Instead, we found a neglected and uncared for older house. It was simply not up to our standards for a rental! Our Prior Experience: As previous VRBO house owners in Boone and Blowing Rock, NC, we always were sure that our renters "got what they paid for" ................ A well-managed, clean, up-to-date, well-furnished and outfitted with all utensils and amenities needed. Our previous experience with VRBO has been very positive, up until now. Jennifer at Carolina Mountain Properties was responsive to our requests, but she could not have given us what we expected with this house. This house was not what we have previously experienced on VRBO What was Experienced Light bulbs out in numerous locations (we found bulbs) Light fixtures old and cheap No chairs suitable for sitting out on the back deck, instructions were to drag from house Fan broken and not repaired as requested Toilets often needing plunger to clear Scalding hot water in showers due to complex plumbing fixture Mold in downstairs room Furniture very old, worn out and dirty No cue sticks available for pool table (corrected) Downstairs radio not working Dangerous stairs, two falls Parking inadequate and difficult Numerous screens missing Several old and missing blinds (3 were replaced) No water glasses (corrected) No wine glasses (corrected) Broken pull out kitchen cabinet (repaired) No cutting board in kitchen (corrected) Décor outdated and dirty Decking splintered Kitchen Utensils skimpy Linens need replacing Junk under the house Slippery bathtubs as showers, no handholds Old Christmas dishes .... really ETC. In summary, this house is showing age, needing maintenance and upgrades. Had we known the condition, we would have selected another VRBO. It was not worth the $6182 we paid. We requested refund from Carolina Mountain Properties, but rejected. Disappointed.

    We looked at possibilities for 2nd Homes in Area and by accident meet LISA Lambert super person…read moreand sharp she will be our person if we make the move! She really wants to help you FIND the right place and help you get there.
