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.

Lovely sandwich shop just off Main St in Elkin. The menu is…read moresmall but creative and to the point. I greatly enjoyed my Chicken Salad Sandwich and the wife loved her Ham and Swiss. They also give every sandwich a dill pickle. Nice touch My only recommendation, offer a water station with washable cups. Nothing crazy, just a stand with a water jug, filled with ice water and a stack of cups:) Enjoyed the back patio with umbrellas and a big shade tree.

The hush puppies and French fries were NOT greasy or rancid smelling.. Texas toast was even better with the HONEY BUTTER applied. The cole slaw could have been a little more sweeter but was good . And the collards were not spicy . It had a little TING but for me was fine as spice and i don't get along . Axex (the owner) stopped by our table with a desert sample from the "PHOTO SHOOT" going on . Ice cream with red syrup and cake. I would stop in just for the desert only...gosh was that good . With way over 1,000 some odd reviews , and a lot of don't go backs, It is my pleasure to call this meal as one of the best. Your going to be sorry if you don't try this place.

2025 Nov 11, 16:17; Elkin, NC…read more UPDATE: this particular store is harder to review. The quality of the service and the quality of the product varies so widely from visit to visit. This visit the person preparing my sandwich put a thin slices of meat on the sandwich. Other visits would have 4 to 5. It is the same product just different visits. The large inconsistencies leaves me to wonder wonder what I will get each time. I thought the purpose of a chain was to offer consistency so a customer can have a reasonable expectation. The service also goes from friendly and professional one visit to they hate their job the next. How do you rate that kind of business?

I wanted to love Speedy Chef. There's something worth appreciating about a family-owned restaurant…read morethat's been feeding a community for decades. Clearly, this place has a lot of people who love it, and I respect that but reviewing what was on my plate, I left underwhelmed. The burger was ok... nothing offensive, but nothing that made me think, "Now THIS is why you skip the drive-thru." The patty wasn't thick enough to be a hearty, traditional burger, but it wasn't thin or crispy enough to deliver that smash-burger experience either. It was hanging out somewhere in the middle and I was hoping for something with a little more personality. I was especially excited about the onion rings because I almost never order them. They had a nice light crunch, but beyond that, they reminded me of the frozen, bagged onion rings I've had plenty of times elsewhere. I don't know how they're made, so that's an impression, not a claim about their kitchen. They just didn't give me much to get excited about. The ranch, though? Really good. Credit where it's due. Then the fried apple pie sign got me. Ice cream, whipped cream, hot caramel sauce... apparently those are the magic words that make me add a dessert I wasn't planning to order. With a refrigerator full of pie slices nearby, I had pictured a fried slice of apple pie. What arrived was more of an apple turnover or empanada with soft serve and toppings. Fair enough (that mental picture was on me) but even adjusting for that, it had the same familiar, standard food-service feel as the rest of the meal. Nothing was terrible, I just kept waiting for the thing that would make this stop feel special, and it never really showed up. I appreciate the history and the place Speedy Chef holds in its community. For me, though, the food didn't quite live up to the excitement of trying it.

My only complaint was that everything was served in Styrofoam cups and plates. Even the utensils were plastic.

It's wonderful to see how this historic landmark building in downtown Elkin has been so beautifully preserved. The lobby of the old theater is the location of the cafe. You place your order at the bar and it's delivered to your table once it's ready. The lady working at the bar was very nice and helpful. Although the cafe was pretty busy we didn't have to wait long for our order to arrive. They offer a nice selection of sandwiches and sides. The soup of the day was pepperoni pizza soup...didn't give that one a try but it sounded intriguing. The bread used to make the sandwiches was better than most restaurants and the quality of the food was excellent. They have regular events with live performances each week inside the theater. More information can be found on their website.

It was busy on a Sunday, but we were a on the later side of the church crowd and didn't have to wait for a table. Again, breakfast food is one of my love languages and it whispered sweet nothings to me that afternoon as well. My husband and I each ordered something different and we're not upset about it. He even added a side of biscuits and gravy because truly - how can you choose!? It was a pretty restaurant with a large bar that I'm sure would be busy later in the days and a great outdoor section with plenty of shade. We talked about taking the kids back soon, it was so worth the drive from Winston!
