Ordered the pulled pork platter with two sides and it was terrible. The apples were cold and tasteless. With the cornbread they used to give you a big square of homemade cornbread but now you get a little muffin shaped piece about 2" in diameter and hard as a rock (see photo). The pulled pork tasted bad and after about five minutes after I was done, it hit my stomach and I got very sick. Luckily there is a Family Dollar store across the street and I went there and bought some Imodium. Had to stick around and use Bonnie Blue's restroom twice before felt comfortable enough to make the 45 minute drive back to my home. Got home and felt so bad that I went straight to bed. Obviously I got food poisoning at Bonnie Blue's and think they left the pork out too long and this is why. See photo of my my receipt and the pulled pork platter. Will never go back there & would warn others to avoid this place unless you want to possibly get very sick like I did.

The service is amazingly friendly and pretty fast. We stopped in around 2pm on a Friday, so I'm betting morning hours are a bit crazier. We got a cinnamon roll, strawberry/raspberry danish, cherry danish and cannoli for the pastries. My husband got a slice of their pizza as well and their drip coffee. The coffee was surprisingly good! The pizza sadly was mistakenly switched with another patron's piece (they take it back to the kitchen and heat it up for you). The piece my husband was given was laced with onions; something he never would have ordered. Oh well. They also don't put their pizza options on the chalkboard which I think needs to change. We didn't see that there was a pepperoni kind until we already ordered! The danishes were both very good, but I think they need to change the bread that they are baked on. It's way too dense. But the flavor was outstanding! The cinnamon roll was also very good. The cannoli kind of missed the mark for me. Overall, worth a visit and I think some minor tweaks could go a long way!

The sausage gravy is pretty comparable to most places we've had around the area. Definitely better than the local chain restaurants. Gravy is flavorful and meaty. The moment you walk in you feel this place definitely supports the local farms and has unique products you're not going to find in your chain grocery store. The workers are always friendly and willing to chat. We look forward to coming here again.

Walked in to the very small space and were told we needed to order online, so we got out our phones and scanned one of the many QR code signs posted on every surface anordered - two bagels, one with cream cheese and the other with butter. He confirmed he received the orders immediately- even before the payment had gone through. That seemed like a good sign. We waited and watched while he made salads and other orders for people who presumably ordered online before us, but didn't come in to pick up while we were there. Eventually he made our bagels, put them in cardboard baskets, covered them with aluminum foil (not sure why we needed that cardboard waste -- would have been happy with my bagel just wrapped in foil), covered them with paper towels, put them each in separate paper bags, and placed them on the counter while calling our names (even though we were the only people in the place and he had confirmed he knew who we were when he received the order). We took the bagels and walked across the street and got our coffees from the cute cat cafe with the friendly staff. Hit the road, and pulled out our bagels in the car. First bite was so bad that I tossed the rest of the bagel back in the bag... it was so crunchy it was more of a thick bagel chip, and shards of bagel stuck between my teeth like splinters. Certainly one-of-a-kind, I've never had another bagel like it. About 10 miles later I was hungry enough to get the bagel out and try again... this time I kneaded it through the aluminum foil a bit to bread it up first. It was still very crunchy and sharp, but there were some softer bits toward the middle. There wasn't much flavor, except where it was drenched in butter (and those bites tasted like butter, which isn't a bad taste I guess). TLDR, if you want bagels in Winchester WV skip this place and go to Sclafani's.

I'm honestly really disappointed with my recent experience at Tropical Smoothie Cafe. I used to work for the company about 4 years ago, and I would even come help out at this location from the Market Street store whenever they were short-staffed. So I've seen how this store can run when things are done the right way. Back then, even with four minors running the place at times, we were clean, organized, efficient, and held to a high standard by our General Manager. What I experienced on this visit was nowhere near that. I placed my order online ahead of time because I know how crazy lunch can get, especially with your on a time crunch. I received a notification saying my food was ready at 12:19, but I didn't actually leave with my order until around 12:30. Being told your food is ready and then still having to wait like that is unacceptable. On top of that, the quality just wasn't there. My smoothie was watered down, and my chipotle chicken club was cold and didn't include the extra chipotle that I paid for. It's frustrating because I know the potential this location has when it's managed properly. I really hope they can get things back to the standard it used to be, because right now the service and quality just aren't there. read more
