Went to grab a quick lunch in downtown Jefferson at Black Jack's! I got the Black Jack Burger (beef…read morepatty, bun, pepper jack cheese, grilled pineapple, bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo) and Iced Tea. I have no notes, this was a classic burger: I loved the hint of spice from pepperjack, the sweet contrast from the pineapple, and the patty was perfectly cooked. The pub chips were well-seasoned and crispy. The iced tea had just the right amount of sugar, and was very refreshing. The ambiance is fine: a bit dim inside, but there's also outside seating. Service was friendly & fast. Parking is free in downtown Jefferson. 10/10 would recommend!

Boondocks Brewing is where I had lunch after going to Ashe County Cheese Store and seeing some of…read morethe murals downtown. It is West Jefferson's first commercial brewery. The restaurant opened back in 2012. It is veteran-owned and employee-run. The restaurant doesn't have its own parking lot, but there is free parking on the street and in nearby lots. There is both inside seating, with a bar, but I didn't get much of a chance to see that as I opted to sit outside. I was enjoying the much cooler temperatures in Ashe County and decided to enjoy the fresh air. The outdoor patio isn't overly fancy--it features standard picnic tables--but it is fully covered and provides a very nice, relaxing open-air environment. My waitress was as friendly as could be and gave me plenty of time to look at the menu as I was having trouble deciding between a burger, the pot roast or the apple salad. I went with the pot roast as it was something not on the menu at most places. It was roasted for 8 hours and had mashed potatoes, veggies and gravy. It was delicious, and I was happy with my choice. Although I am sure I would have enjoyed the other options, I narrowed my choice down to them as well. Boondocks is a gem of West Jefferson, and I've already been planning a return trip.

We stopped in for a late lunch around 2 p.m. The restaurant is in a great location right on the…read moremain strip in downtown West Jefferson, and it looked inviting from the outside. After looking over the menu online beforehand, we were excited to give it a try. We were seated right away, but then waited over five minutes before anyone acknowledged our table. Our server, AJ (Adrianne, I believe), was friendly enough, but she seemed a bit overwhelmed or possibly stretched too thin. Since we'd already been waiting, we were ready to order both drinks and our meals at the same time, and that seemed to throw off the usual routine. Throughout the meal, it felt like we were inconveniencing her whenever we needed something, including asking if the music could be turned down. The food was the highlight. I had the biscuits with pimento cheese and fried green tomatoes, and the pimento cheese was exactly how I like it. My husband's tuna sandwich was good, although he wasn't a fan of the house fries--they were extremely thick, almost like eating a baked potato cut into wedges. We also ordered half sweet/half unsweet tea, but it was still much sweeter than we expected. The dining room itself felt a little plain for such a large space, and the 60s and 70s music was louder than we would have liked during lunch. Overall, the food was definitely the best part of our visit, and I'd order my meal again. With a little more attentive service and a more comfortable dining atmosphere, this could have been a much better experience.

The food here is very good. I enjoyed the salmon over cucumber salad. My friends enjoyed the…read morepimento burger with green beans then had high praises for it. I would say one word of caution is that the menu is slightly inconsistent in calling out ingredients. They did remake the salmon for us, but the menu did not state that it had nuts when other menu items clearly stated nuts - and I have an allergy. The salmon sauce had almond sprinkled on top or perhaps added to the sauce itself. I had looked the sauce up on my phone and how to make it because I do a lot of my own cooking and I wasn't familiar with it. The recipes I was finding online never mentioned nuts and I was not expecting that. According to the kitchen, the sauce traditionally comes with nuts, but it wasn't stated on the menu and I couldn't really verify that by looking up recipes. I'm still giving them four stars because they made it right by remaining without nuts. The menu does have a good variety for people with eating restrictions around gluten.

Yesterday was really hot, and we had originally planned on eating somewhere else. Since we had our…read moredog with us, outdoor seating was a must, and the first spot just didn't have a great setup. We randomly parked beside this restaurant and noticed their outdoor patio, which looked absolutely inviting. It was shaded, relaxing, and best of all, not crowded. My wife had the burger and fries, and the burger was actually cooked to the temperature she ordered and seasoned really well. I had a toasted chicken salad sandwich, which was excellent. They also made me an amaretto sour, which was fairly priced and hit the spot. Overall, we would 100% go back. The servers were fast and efficient, everyone was extremely friendly, and they were especially kind to our pup. That always wins us over. To those about to nosh, we salute you!

We've visited this restaurant twice in the last month. If we were rating the food alone, it's a…read moresolid four stars--maybe even five for simple, well-done bar food. Unfortunately, the service brings our overall rating down to three stars. After our first visit, we thought the rudeness we encountered might have just been a fluke, so we gave it another try about four weeks later. Sadly, it wasn't. Both times, the hostess seemed visibly annoyed to seat us, as if helping customers was a burden. On our second visit, we didn't even bother with a table--we sat at the bar. Unfortunately, the servers on both occasions carried the same attitude, acting as though serving us was an inconvenience. The worst moment came when my wife asked the bartender a simple question: which sauce he preferred between two options. He actually laughed in her face, rolled his eyes, and replied with a snarky tone, "We make one in-house and the other is store-bought." She had to call him out by saying, "What's so funny? I don't work here, how would I know that?" Only then did his attitude shift, and while he became friendlier afterward, the first impression was already made. It's a shame, because the food is genuinely good. On our first visit, we had an Italian sandwich, a burger, and some boneless wings--all excellent. On our second visit, we liked the wings so much that we each ordered them again, trying several flavors. The only miss were the pub chips--nothing special there. Overall, if you're willing to risk unfriendly service, the food is worth trying. Maybe you'll catch the staff on a better day. To those about to dine--good luck!
