Great selection of breakfast items, bagels, sweets and savories. I asked about a breakfast burrito after ordering when I saw the tortillas in the case. Why are burritos not a huge center piece of advertisement? Scroll it in the front window!! I'd be there once a week if I knew there were fresh breakfast burritos inside. I would have loved a breakfast burrito but saw it too late. Sounds amazing though and if they are half as good as the bagel sandwiches, lights out! The smoked salmon will be my breakfast and lunch on the road. Stuffed full, I was full after half. My hubs got an Asiago with walnut raisin cream cheese. If I didn't know any better, I'd ask if he was pregnant. Then I tried it. Wait what.... Why is that combo so good!!! These ladies have made this spot the one stop shop for breakfast. Don't skip it! Cute, clean and friendly. Small seating area to eat in or grab n go. I saw the bowls are popular. I wish I could bring them back to Michigan with us.

My fiancé is a pancake critic and unfortunately they were a miss. I like a thinner more well done pancake where we received a thicker more soft one. That's just our preference.

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!

These additions make the Barking Coyote more of a destination to eat at instead of just a "grab and go" place. Both inside and outside seating seemed to provide a serene setting . Their chicken salad, sold in two sizes, is excellent and was the main reason I stopped by. They have a rotating weekly menu of artisan sandwiches which can be found on their FB page.
