Wicked Chicken Winghouse & Tavern - Buffalo Chicken Wrap

We were charged for these waters. There were fees charged as taxes that the server couldn't tell us what they were for, but insisted we pay either way. When we asked about these hidden fees the server just said well we have them posted on the walls so we don't have to tell you. Again, make sure you read everything posted on the walls before ordering. When I asked to speak to a manger, or owner we were told that they aren't around much and that it would be almost impossible to get in touch with. As of now we still have not had either one call us back, or respond to emails. Take this as a warning that the food and service are not worth the money you will spend here.

I split the burger and the boneless wings with a friend and we ordered an app for the table to split (Mediterranean Ranch Fries). In total, we spent about $50 and it was a complete waste of money. I would go back to try just the regular wings, but I wouldn't make a special trip. The staff was busy but nice and took care of our larger party with smiles and focus. There is a lot of outside seating and indoor seating as well, but the outdoor area is great for groups and friends looking to enjoy the fresh outdoors and a meal.

But I wiggled my vehicle into a tight spot and went in for a burger and a beer. I believe there were about 10 to 12 options available on tap, and I went with what was listed as an Irish stout from somewhere in the Northeast. It wasn't bad, though it seemed more like an imperial stout. My sandwich choice was the Cowboy, with ground elk at its core. It was a good choice too, and the accompanying fried onions and melted cheese complemented the meat well. I ordered the burger medium, but I think I'd go for medium rare if I could go back in time. The medium option wasn't bad, but I think a little less heat and a little more moisture would only make things better. I kept things simple with the side item, going for the fries which were of the thinly sliced McDonald's variety, not bad but nothing remarkable. The server covering my table was pleasant and prompt, though soft spoken so I occasionally had to ask her to repeat herself amidst the music and noise. I wouldn't call any of these selections a bargain, but the prices didn't veer too far from what you'll find in many burger joints. All in all, not an earthshaking experience, but a place I'd be willing to go back to. 3.5 stars.

Lily’s Snack Bar - Cauliflower and tofu snack wrap

The house made potato chips are something special, and at their best (in my opinion) dipped in the house made vegan ranch (vegan Lily's sauce is a close 2nd). Today we got teriyaki tofu nuggets, Buffalo tofu nuggets (both came with the chips and a dipping sauce) along with fried pickles (we got extra dipping sauces). It has a beach/tiki bar vibe inside (albeit slightly dark) with tables and a few parking spots out front. Dog friendly (outside) and even brought a dog bowl of water. We just love this place. Friendly service. Hospitable atmosphere with clear values (pro LGBTQ, anti-racism, etc.). Reasonable prices.

It's supposed to be a more fair method where the emcees have random selections, however they seem to be easily persuaded to alter the order. The emcees typically let their friends go more often than others, and the removal of the typical chronological list makes the commitment to a simple night of karaoke particularly egregious.The model does not work and typically leaves patrons disappointed because they spent 4 hours at the bar just to sing once. I would appreciate if staff considered going back to the list signup so that we would know when we would be able to sing again. I think that the new setup has cost the bar significant attendance on Tuesdays, as now it is rarely full and does not cater to people who want to do karaoke within a set timeframe. It was much better when I and my friends could come and sing 3 songs in two hours and then leave at a reasonable time where now people have to wait 2 plus hours to sing between songs.

It might have just been the holiday rush, but I always figure "busy means good," so my expectations were high--and The Local didn't disappoint. We started with the nachos; they were delicious, though I do wish they came with a bit more meat. For mains, the burger was outstanding--probably one of the best we've had in the entire area. 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!

Bar tender provided menus, and checked back on us after a few minutes to take order. They've got a good menu with pizza, sandwiches, burgers, and a good variety of entrees (seafood, steak, chicken, pasta), basically, they've got something for everyone. 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.

Elevation 3333 - Mountain of nachos

I am beyond disappointed with this place. My boyfriend was at Elevation 3333 tonight, and what he…read moresaw was seriously disturbing. Like, actual disgusting racism happening right in front of everyone, and the staff couldn't care less. He saw this Latino guy just trying to grab a drink at the bar, and this group of white women just absolutely went off on him. They were screaming slurs and calling him the most terrible names. It wasn't a joke or a misunderstanding; it was blatant, sickening, targeted hate speech. This is Boone, right? It's supposed to be chill, but apparently, not at this place. My boyfriend immediately went to the bouncer--the guy who's supposed to keep things safe--and told him exactly what was happening. And the bouncer's official response? He said he couldn't do anything. Seriously?! A grown man is being harassed with racial slurs, and your security just shrugs and walks away? That's not just unprofessional; that's actively letting racism happen on your property. It's like they're totally cool with it. I am livid. My friends and I are DONE with Elevation 3333. No way are we giving business to a place that allows blatant disrespect and racism to run wild and then won't lift a finger to stop it. This is beyond gross. Spread the word--if they let this kind of stuff happen, they don't deserve our money.

There are several in the area so it really was a blind choice tk end up here. I like the atmosphere here. Reminds me of the bars up north. Rustic bar with a dining area of tables and chairs. And of course patio seating for those who enjoy eating outside or bring their dog with them. Our server was the bartender. She said early Saturdays weren't always busy and that's why she was alone. She was very friendly and efficient. Typical bar food but some with extra flair. A salmon sandwich. Burgers and chicken sandwiches kicked up a bit. A good variety and interesting choices. NOTE: They DO have allergy protocols in place. Make sure you tell your server if you have any allergies. Nice to see restaurants doing this. I ordered the cheesesteak all the way with max n cheese. There are several sides to choose from. Wife got the VooDoo chicken sandwich and fries. She said it was excellent. Mae got the Mountain of Nachos with chicken. All the food was excellent. The nachos could sleazily feed 3 hungry adults. Just be aware if you order it. It's massive. Love the atmosphere, food and service. Will definitely go back when we visit Boone. $41 + tip for three good lunches. I don't mind paying for good food and service. Give them a try.
