    My custom salad.
    Zia K.

    Food was good but they overfill you with custom salads!!! A very busy place in fall and winter. Salads were good though.

    Forgot to take picture but the cocktail shrimp was good ... didn't like that they sprinkled old bay...

    Food was okay.. mediocre... service was good... still old steakhouse... lack of flavor... let's say they had more staffs than customers on Saturday night.

    Prime rib.
    Amber L.

    First time here and it was pretty decent. I ordered the prime rib with mashed potatoes and asparagus. All was cooked perfectly. I really wanted a salad but they gave me the salad sheet to built my own salad but didn't provide a pen, which I didn't have on me. When they finally came back to my table to ask for my order, I just didn't want to wait for a pen and just opted for the asparagus. Maybe a pen should be provided at the time you're sat and the waiter collect? I'm not sure what the locals do as this was my first time. The seem to do things a little different, that's okay but it was a little confusing. I'll probably be back to try the steak.

    I've been to Peddler probably over 50 times in my life starting since the mid 1980's. Usually for special occasions a few times a year as a kid and in high school and beyond, and I've always enjoyed the unlimited salad bar and their steaks. It had been about 4 years since we had been back and it looked like the pandemic had changed their operations a bit--new interior and renovations (we found out in early 2022) and they no longer had self-service on the salad bar (now it's delivered to you after you fill out a salad order form), but still unlimited. We had fantastic service by an attentive and super friendly waitress (I think her name was McKenzie), and our meal experience was superb from start to finish. A few changes with the new system: no French onion soup anymore as part of the salad bar. And a few salad bar items are no longer there (I think caviar was one). Regardless, the steaks are fresh and cut table side by the Peddler and the staff are great and constantly attentive to you during the meal. We've loved this place for decades and still love going back whenever we're in town. ----TL;DR---- PROS: tons of food and large portions, plenty of salad bar choices. Great quality steaks and cooked exactly as you like CONS: parking could be tight but usually it's not a problem. BOTTOM LINE: one of our favorite restaurants in Boone--great for a date night or family night for a nice dinner. We'll keep coming back!

    This was our best experience yet at the Peddler! Everything was cooked as ordered. Staff was taking care of diners and helping each other with various table needs.

    Third time here during our trip!! Excellent service, consistently great food and warm and welcoming! Inside is very cozy! We have had the salmon, filet, ribeye and prime rib - not one was disappointing! Unlimited salad and delightful side items such as asparagus, sweet potato, mushrooms, etc. served with warm rolls. Free parking. Big parking lot!

We also ordered the Brazilian steak, which was cooked perfectly and came with great plantains. The quinoa with tofu was good, too, though it was a little dry and would have been perfect with a sauce. The service really stood out. Our waitress was incredibly attentive and refilled my water at least four times without me asking. Great ambiance and an all-around good experience. Definitely worth the wait!

Not being too hungry, but knowing we needed something, we decided to just split an order of the pulled pork nachos. The food came out fairly quickly, looked and tasted great. They did not skimp on toppings. Staff was friendly, food was good, only complaint is it was very dark inside, and surprisingly loud in the restaurant, I can't imagine being there with live music, I assume it would be impossible to have a conversation.

Their cocktails are crafted with homemade syrups, and change seasonally. I had the Garden in Tibet--a delicious drink with gin, Prosecco, sugar snap pea syrup (!), green elixir syrup, elderflower liquor, and lemon. You'd think this could be a too-sweet drink, but it was PERFECT. My husband had the Which Damascus the first time, with rye whiskey, cherry basil syrup, hickory syrup, Amaro Montenegro, Tiki bitters, Peychaud bitters, and orange. He enjoyed it, but I thought it was definitely too sweet. He had a Garden in Tibet on our second visit, and preferred the Tibet to the Damascus drink. We love their unique smoked trout deviled eggs as an appetizer. This dish has two eggs filled with smoked trout, and three filled with a deviled egg mixture. The accompanying house hot sauce is so good! For our entrees, we both had hickory-smoked trout on the first visit Mine was definitely saltier than his. We had three sides--collard greens, smoked Gouda grits (our favorite), and corn, hominy, yellow squash & chile hash (so fresh and delicious!). On our second visit, I had the almond and cornmeal-crusted trout with the smoked Gouda grits, and my husband tried their fried chicken sandwich with slaw. He absolutely loved the sandwich--the chicken was thick, juicy, and very tender. He'll definitely get the sandwich again.

I was surprised to see such a large crowd dining that time of day (2:30). But despite the busy flow of customers, service was wonderful, eager to answer questions, and very attentive. We started with the yuca fries. The absolute BEST I have ever had! Fresh, warm, well seasoned, and large portion. Our family of 5 ordered the Sedona bowl, Black & Blue burger, burrito, one of the boats, and the quesadilla, plus sweet fries and regular fries. We all thoroughly enjoyed our entrees!

Our waitress was nice and friendly but definitely struggling and the food itself was very mediocre. We arrived around 5pm on a Saturday and sat outside as a group of 7. We started with waters and then a couple trays of chips and salsa. We opted for the house fire roasted and pico options. The chips were a good portion but each one came with maybe one ounce of each sauce...for the 7 of us. We asked for extras and so she brought out one of each... I ordered a chicken vegetable soup which the menu stated was served with a cornbread muffin. When the soup came there was no cornbread so I asked for that and upon her return she said it would be an extra $2.50 even though I literally pointed to the menu to show her that was not written anywhere lol The soup was okay, probably Would've been better with the muffin but I wasn't going to argue over it anymore. For my entree I got two southwest chicken tacos. And those were disappointing as well. Packed with a lot but just did not deliver on flavor, and the poblano cremosa salsa I got was pretty bland too. Overall sentiment from other friends was similar- they ordered bowls, burritos etc but found a lot was left to be desired with their dishes. Come payment time, I opted to use cash since the menu stated 3% surcharge for credit. When I gave her a $20, she returned my tab (after processing the others who put a card in) and I explained I had left cash, to which she asked "oh do you want me to give you a 10 and two 5s?" And I explained, No I just want to pay with cash, I only need the change. And then she gave me the wrong amount of change. So all around this spot was definitely a let down. @azfitfoodfun

There was about a 30 minute wait. We briefly stepped out and returned, only to learn our table had been ready but the text notification did not go through due to a phone number error. Not a big issue, we waited patiently with our two children ages 8 and 10. While we were waiting, the hostess went up to a man working the bar wearing a hat to speak to him about our table. She appeared apologetic and uncomfortable. His response and body language came across as irritated and dismissive. While still nearby, we overheard the same man speaking loudly to a bar customer and referring to a woman as "one of those crazy b***** online." It appeared connected to the table involved in the interaction that followed. After we were seated, the same man, who had been working the bar, came into the dining area and approached another table, a group that appeared to be in their 60s to 70s, regarding a receipt or refund issue. Based on his role and how he handled the situation, I initially assumed he was a manager. The discussion became tense. The woman at the table shook her receipt and said something to the effect of listening to him was making her more upset. At that point, he raised his voice and shouted profanity, telling her to "get the f*** out of my restaurant." As he walked away, he turned back and began shouting again, saying additional things about his integrity and honesty, then again told her to "get the f*** out" before storming into the kitchen. This occurred in the middle of the dining room with children present, including our own and another nearby table with young girls. From the back of the restaurant, loud banging could be heard, and it appeared he struck a wall or object while shouting additional profanity. The table he addressed appeared shaken and quietly left without further argument. The entire restaurant went silent. The servers themselves were professional and kind throughout the evening, but the outburst clearly affected the atmosphere for everyone. Overall, the food was about a 7 out of 10. The lasagna was good. Other dishes were mixed. The spaghetti marinara was very bitter and unbalanced, the shrimp scampi was heavy, and the amount of butter served with the rolls was excessive. Later, I was told by staff that the man involved is the owner's son. Later that night, my son told me that as he and the same man reached the single occupancy restroom door at the same time, the man told him to go first, but did so in a sharp and impatient manner that came across as aggressive. After witnessing repeated profanity and outbursts earlier in the evening, having my child spoken to in that manner by the same individual was completely unacceptable. Regardless of internal issues, repeated profanity, raised voices, and aggressive behavior toward guests, especially with children present, is not appropriate in a restaurant setting. We will not return and would caution families before dining here.

We arrived shortly after opening with a party of 8 and were told there would be a 15-minute wait, even though both dining rooms were empty. We waited in our car as instructed, then checked back after 15 minutes. Still no table. While waiting on a bench with my young child and my 70-year-old mother, a hostess came over to tell us we had to wait outside if we were waiting for a table, even though others were waiting inside for to-go orders. We were seated, not blocking any exits, and the restaurant was nowhere near capacity. When we questioned this, we were told it was "fire code." A second hostess repeated this rudely, even to members of our party who had ordered drinks at the bar. So, back out into the 20-degree cold we went. After about 30 minutes, we were finally seated--only to be told pizzas were now a 90-minute wait! No manager was on duty to address concerns, when I asked to speak with one. Several issues stand out: 1. This problem is systemic from the top down. 2. Hostesses should be welcoming, regardless of stress. 3. Dine-in guests should be prioritized over take-out orders. 4. A pizza place should be able to handle pizza orders without extreme delays. This is the second bad experience we've had here with long waits and poor customer service. Bella's markets itself as a "family" business, but clearly does not value families. I will never return and cannot recommend this restaurant to others.

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.
