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.

I am not such a big fan of southern food but this was freaking PHENOMENAL!! That's saying a lot coming from me! The people working there were so sweet and food came out so fast! My boyfriend and I shared the country fried steak with gravy (my first time having it), mashed potato's, and fried corn bites, and shared the fried catfish with fries and coleslaw. Every single item was the best southern food I have had!!! Will forever be recommending here and will definitely be a life long patron whenever I come to the mountains!

I tried a pumpkin beer while Steve went for an espresso martini--both were fantastic choices for a fall afternoon. Since portions are usually huge when traveling and we don't like carrying leftovers, we decided to share the Tuna Poke Power Bowl ($20). It came with quinoa and spring mix as the base, topped with edamame, cucumbers, guacamole, cabbage, crispy wontons, and fresh ahi tuna. It was flavorful and beautifully presented, though I honestly couldn't find much quinoa--it felt more like a salad than a grain bowl. Still, everything tasted fresh, the service was wonderful, and the prices were very reasonable. Definitely a great spot to stop if you're exploring Boone!

The sandwich and quiche both tasted good, but not unlike something you could get anywhere else. Service: The service was average for a small shop, a normal amount of wait for food to be ready. Ambiance: I think the ambiance of the place makes up for the food. On a cold day, this place provides a very warm "small town" feel. The wood furniture and open windows lets you peer outside and really feel the warm contrast between the weather outside and inside while you eat.
