I just went shopping while waiting to get paged. There are lots of little stores to check out in the area. I waited less than 20 mins. Once seated we had the honey lemon ginger tea pot (absolutely recommend) and a latte. Food wise, we ordered the super sunny avocado toast (I opted for scrambled eggs), the stuffed French toast and Melanie's fruit waffle. Everything was beyond Delicious!! If I ever come down this way, this is where I'm having breakfast again. Great and lots of different options for everyone. Service was phenomenal!

As crazy as it sounds this place has set the bar lower for a Waffle House. Ordered a chicken…read moresandwich and then a few minutes later was told sorry they were out of lettuce. The waitress asked if I would like to replace it and I said let's do a t-bone. Then she came over and said the chicken was already on the grill like I had no choice in the matter. She asked how I would like the chicken prepared. So I went with a chicken melt with bacon. The chicken came out without bacon and the hash browns didn't have the tomatoes I ordered. The entire experience was a comedy of errors.

Worth the 45 minute wait on game day…read more This spot is well equipped to handle their hungry App fans' wait times with their efficient electronic wait list. We knew there would be a wait considering it was Family Weekend at App. Noelle was our server and she was super kind and very attentive. I knew we were in the right place when I saw mini packs of apple butter as a regular staple like grape jelly. I always get an omelette and didn't deter from my routine here. I had to have a biscuit to try the apple butter. And why not blow the diet completely away with the hash browns. Everything on my plate was great. The omelette was super fluffy with perfectly seasoned sausage. The hash browns were perfectly cooked and nicely seasoned. But that biscuit!!! OMG! It was super fluffy and the apple butter put it over the top and reminded me of my childhood home cooked breakfasts at my grandmother's house. I'm so glad our son is just a freshman at App so I have at least another 3.75 years to get breakfast here every time we visit.

The inside is typical diner kinda place and everyone happy with their food selections.

It hurts, because I want to love this place! Crepes are my absolute favorite dessert. However, it…read moreis way too expensive for me to justify coming here compared to just quickly whipping up my own crepe at home. The crepe was very soggy, and didn't have a great flavor to it. Besides that, I loved their milkshake- so if you have the money for their desserts I recommend it, but if you want a sweet crepe I'd suggest making it yourself or looking elsewhere.

Would recommend! Can't wait to go again…read more Great service. Helped me pick out my treat. Super cute place. Clean and bright. Little chocolate mints on the tables. Games available to play. My crepe was phenomenal. She made it fresh the fruit on top was also fresh. Best crepe I've ever ate. It was a little expensive but still well worth it

I opted for the Vicious which is a cheddar jalapeno biscuit, crispy chicken, maple sausage gravy, cowboy candy which is like sweet grilled jalapenos and syrup. Normally,my breakfasts are not so hearty but this was a delicious treat. I also opted for a loaded bloody mary which was solid. This is the kind of spot where you pay at the counter and they bring your food to your table. It's casual, service is friendly, and the dish was under $13. The spot has ample parking and is pretty spacious as well.

We were created right away and seated at a table. The restaurant was chilly, but eventually they…read moreturned up the thermostat and it got warmer. We ordered a cherry old fashion, the Brussels sprouts and the pimento cheese. They were ok. The old fashion was good but the ice melted rather fast, which made it watery. The Brussels sprouts were Korean which meant lots of soy sauce. Way too much salt!! Not something I would order again. The pimento cheese was a 2/10 due to the lack of flavor. It was also served with water crackers from the grocery store. Would have preferred bread. Lunch was the Reuben and the chicken Philly. Reuben, we would rate a 7/10. The Philly was good but I've had better. Maybe a 5/10. The waitress forgot about us but apologized. It was graduation time and she had several tables. The kettle chips and side of fries were under salted, but ok. We're not sure we are going to come back since there are so many good restaurants in Boone. Oh and the price was steep for what we bought. $90 with tip. All in all, we likely will not return. Try it for yourself though. You might find something good on the menu.

Newish in town, Social on Main is my favorite place for breakfast in Blowing Rock--so much so that…read moremy husband and I usually visit twice when we are staying in BR. Social on Main is an easy walking distance if you are staying downtown. You may need to hunt for a downtown parking spot if driving, however. There are plenty of parking spots on the nearby side streets, and a large public lot (slightly hidden) off Maple Street. Don't let the lack of onsite parking deter you from a visit! We've tried the Charlie Sellers, Beth Ann Clark (new and amazing!), The Hammy, Butch Triplett, and Carl Freeman. One thing for sure is that SoM knows how to do cheesy scrambled eggs. I constantly lament that other breakfast places don't know how to properly cook scrambled eggs, and allow sufficient time for the cheese to melt. SoM's eggs are always perfect. They also do a proper crispy bacon. Their biscuits are "cat head" style--i.e., as big as a cat's head--and fluffy, and really good with butter. The Beth Ann Clark is their newest addition, with cheesy scrambled eggs, bacon or country ham, french toast, and a cup of fruit. I actually got this twice on our last trip to Blowing Rock--it was that good! But fried egg fans should also be glad that SoM also does perfect eggs over-medium. And their corned beef is perfectly crispy. I don't normally like corned beef, but it goes perfectly with their cheesy scrambled egg when my husband orders the Butch Triplett. Their hash browns are crispy on the outside, but soft on the inside. We prefer them a bit crispier throughout, but they were still fine. Their coffee is noteworthy--strong and delicious. Many breakfast places serve weak coffee, but Social's version is perfect. Their servers are all efficient and friendly. One of our servers shared the story of how their plates were all named after Blowing Rock individuals, and that was really cool. One more thing - SoM accepts Apple Pay! This is definitely our go-to for breakfast in Blowing Rock.

Social on Main was the perfect way to start our weekend in the area…read more We drove into the area for breakfast and exploring and upon arrival the spot was packed. After looking at the menu and dining there I can see why. The portions are huge, and the pricing is so great. They also have a full bar including breakfast martinis - which I did not opt for but went with a bloody mary instead. It was huge and delicious. They have a lot of breakfast options, but when I saw corn beef hash I knew I had to try that. They have a bunch of different breakfast options and the one I ordered came with eggs, ham, hash browns and I can't remember what else but it was huge. If breakfast isn't your thing and you want lunch - you can choose from their lunch specials which are a main and three sides for under $14 - wowza that is literally crazy! It is a cozy, charming spot with friendly service and I would definitely recommend if you are in Blowing Rock.

They were very nice, the place was pretty quiet as it was off season so the food came out quickly…read more It was just mediocre though. The bagels (I got an egg everything) were still somehow flavorless. An everything MUST have salt- it's non negotiable. In lieu of that- adding a touch of salt to the cream cheese would have helped. Salt is not meant to make things salty but to bring out the flavors of the food. Without it- it's one note bland. Pancakes were decent but for a bagel place please make the bagels more edible. Had a decent cream cheese ratio though but because it was all flavorless it didn't really matter. Simple tweak but can probably make this place really solid

There is seating inside and out. Definitely a no frills spot- cutlery is plastic, plates and cups were paper, coffee came in to-go paper cups. The food was fine- nothing special. The bagels didn't taste as homemade as I expected. They did have a large menu and offered a lot of breakfast items- more than just bagels. The service seemed a bit slow for what we ordered, but it looked like a ton of people were waiting in the lobby, so they may get a lot of to-go orders that backed up the kitchen. The waitress was nice!
