It's clearly a busy place. "Wait to be seated" suggests…read morethey'll at least acknowledge your arrival. Nope. Waited a bit. Again busy, but not okay. Servers walked round us several times before acknowledging we were there. Okay to wait for a table, but when the table becomes open, acknowledge us and let us sit, rather than continuing to make us wait. We were seated and waited again before given menus and cutlery. A couple sat down several minutes after us and were given cutlery and menus. I get different waitresses have different tables, but a table who arrives first should be served first. And yup, they got their food before we did. Food was disappointing. Fries were warm. Crab cake sandwich (with shrimp) lacked flavor, and tasted like a crispy potato cake. Buffalo chicken sandwich should not be kids chicken tenders toasted in sauce falling out of the sandwich. Burger was overcooked and dry. The bathroom needs a clean. Slippery floors, cracked tiles that feel like you're going to fall through the floor. Around disappointed

I got the huge double cheeseburger with two 8oz patties and she got the BBQ Mac and Cheese. We also got a side of Bacon Cheese fries.

They were pretty busy and it was just me and one other person so they sat us at the bar (after asking if it was okay). The bartender, despite having a full bar, was amazing! She was constantly checking in on us and my friend requested that she surprise her with a cocktail and the drink she made was spectacular! We both got the cheese curds for an appetizer and there were so many!!! They were also freaking amazing. The chipotle ranch that came with them wasn't my favorite but was still delish! My friend and I both got the creamy pesto Alfredo penne, I added chicken and she added steak. The serving size was perfect (just enough for a lil bit of leftovers) and it tasted so good. We ended the night with some of the Carolina beignets, which I somehow find myself getting every time I come here because they're so damn good!! They come with a cheerwine reduction on the side Also, got the prickly pear cocktail and it was pretty good! Not my favorite but they do have a super fun, excellent menu of cocktails.

I was visiting my son in Boone, as we move him into college... Ordered the wings, I had what I…read morebelieve was a blackened goat cheese, and fig burger with caramelized onions, which was off the charts, my son had the Salmon. Ratings- He gave the salmon a seven I give my Burger a nine, and the wings were about a seven(dry rub). That said, sitting at the bar was absolutely a treat... Erin was fantastic.

They have a mix of local bulk foods (honey, jellies, jams, chocolates, candies, etc.), a cooler aisle (drinks, sauerkraut, etc.), and a sandwich deli in the back. Bathrooms are clean. Parking is plentiful. And there's no hurry in shopping. If you can't find something, they'll point you to three kinds of whatever you're asking for. You will always buy twice what you expected and eat some multiple of the candies you promised yourself you'd "save" on the way home. So save room in your trunk, people.
