This place has the BEST food hands down, an adorable set up, and great music. The staff are friendly, the location is great. I highly recommend this place to anyone in the Boone area!!! read more

nice people, however, overpriced food and not a lot of it. the Rueben sandwich is 16 dollars (add $3.5) for chips / salsa. the Rueben was snack size with very little flavor. very disappointed result for a very expensive sandwich. would expect the sandwich to at least have enough meat to fill up an average sized human at that price. read more

Amazing variety of vegetarian options that all taste incredible. Definitely a unique restaurant, and one you'll want to revisit again and again. read more

Sat on the patio for a dinner date with a friend. It was a really pleasant day. I ordered the arroz con pollo and sangria and my friend had the Eiffel Tower salad. She wasn't too pleased with the salad because it was laden with mashed sweet potatoes. My pollo was great and very filling. Loved the sangrias! read more

We are in Boone often and we always go to this place. Absolutely delicious food, great combinations, great vegetarian options.

Husband and I ate lunch on the patio today, and it was AMAZING. I had the tomato smoked Gouda soup with grilled cheese, and he had the burger. It was some of the best food I've had in a while. Definitely come here and eat - you won't regret it. Service was friendly and prompt as well. read more

Love this place. You can taste everything they give you. got burger with beans and rice, 10/10

This was our second time in Boone and at Wildcraft. We came during COVID and got curbside. The food was prepared quickly and it was absolutely delicious. I got the tempeh Gouda tacos and my boyfriend got the Cuban beans and rice. I wish we lived closer to Boone so I could try everything on the menu! read more

I've always been a Vegetarian but have been eating more Vegan and gluten free. This place ROCKS!! I had the Tally Ho Tamales and my tastebuds are so happy I did. My mom had the Tempeh Gouda Tacos and loved every bite as well. I would def come back - so many more things I have to try. read more

I have been here a few times when visiting Boone. The food is delicous and creative. I have ordered a Mexican inspired dish every time I have been. The place is small especially with limited seating due to a Covid but It's worth the wait. read more

Still open for takeout, thank god! We checked several different places that said they were open, but weren't and hadn't updated their websites yet. We ordered the noodle bowl and yellow curry and both were delicious! read more

Vegetarian tamales are incredible. I had been craving tamales forever. I recently moved to NC from CO and vegetarian tamales seemed like a unicorn. I came to Boone on a whim and was shocked to find vegetarian tamales that were even more delicious than they looked, which was great. The homemade plum hot sauce was an awesome addition. Can't recommend this place more. I want to go back already!! read more

12-28-14. After reading the great reviews we decided to eat here for dinner. We are from Florida and spent a couple days here in the Boone area to ski and snow tube. We were greeted and sat at a table for 5 on a Sunday night around 6:30 pm. Five of us all orders a variety of smoothies and tea. Started out with the chips and chipotle quest and tomatillo sauce. Very good though we ran out of chips before dips. We ordered the chicken gyro, a Thai peanut noodle dish, salmon tacos, nori avocado tofu wrap, and a special of the day quesadilla with sweet potato, chicken, spinach and mushroom. What can I say. Everything was fantastic and fresh and perfectly cooked. Pictures speak a thousand words and fortunately I was able to get a few shots in before it was devoured. The waiter was friendly and attentive. read more

This place is so amazing. The food is fantastic, fresh, and just as lovely as the service and atmosphere. It has everything you could possibly crave and should definitely be part of your itinerary! read more

All four of us absolutely enjoyed every single bite of our meals! The sweet potato enchiladas were as tasty as I hoped they would be and the siren cocktail (or whichever had coconut in it) was amazing! Loved how all the salt shakers sleeve different at each table and the decor was really cute. Really great dinner spot in Boone! read more

My husband and I stopped in here on a whim before heading home and it was everything we wanted. We shared a quick small bite and a drink and every bite and drop was perfect! Service was great and it was really fairly priced. We'll be back for a full meal soon and cannot wait! read more

Went here based on vegetarian and vegan options. Food was just ok, nothing I would go back for, but the service was poor. Hostess / manager / bartender looked annoyed when we asked for a party of 4. She walked us to our high top and sat the menus down and walked off. Server came over and was nice and took drink order. Drinks came out in good time. Mine was empty within 5 minutes. The same hostess / manager / bartender came over and saw my glass was empty and took it. No words. No "hey do you want another". Nothing. Yes I wanted another, but oh well. Then our nacho's app comes out - which was ok. The food my family ordered - tempeh tacos, beyond burger, meatloaf was all ok. I had the enchiladas. It was basically a big burrito tortilla stuffed with mashed potatoes, a piece of "rubbery precooked and then frozen and then heated up again" chicken and a few peppers. Not good. My fault for ordering the wrong thing. The others ate most of their meals, but none were happy enough to say they would try it again. As for me - if the lady running the place didn't want to be there that night - it showed. I wouldn't go back based on her alone. Oh, and my water that I had was empty half way through the meal along with my daughters - and never got refilled. The same hostess / manager / bartender looked me straight in the eye while I was trying to get the last lonely piece of ice out of my cup too - still no refill or offer for any water. I really do not have high standards after covid. My bar is low for a meal out. But for a $135 meal for a family of 4 - I would at least like to feel like we are welcomed. read more

Not as pretty as the pictures and horrible service. The shrimp tacos were good but 2 people had bone type substance in the food...bizarre since it was shrimp. Hummus was very good. Shepherds pie is not anything close to a traditional shepherds pie but was different with venison read more

Such a shame, such poor service!! We had been here before and loved the food but the service was pretty slow, so we decided to give it another try. Mistake! We waited over 20min with NO service, no one to take our drink or food order or even let us know they'd be back to take care of us. Sad to say we won't be coming back. read more

We went there for dinner Saturday night. The menu has too many options and being a foodie, we ordered a few entrees between 4 of us to share. We ordered all the vegetarian/vegan dishes and the food was fresh and full of flavor. We also ordered one of their signature margaritas and that was refreshing on a hot summer day. Great service and food. Highly recommended! read more

Food is pretty good. The tortillas chips they give you are tostitos which is a little weird. If you come here make sure you have plenty of time because they take forever. They told us it would be 45 minutes but was 2 hours. I also had a friend tell me that she was only supposed to have a 15 minute wait and it entered up being 45 minutes. They also forgot to come to our table and we heard many different excuses about it. Overall not a pleasant experience and probably will not return. read more

Great service on a busy night-food outstanding as always. Best meatloaf I have ever had that didn't come out of my oven.

You have become my favorite Boone restaurant, so I was very disappointed our most recent experience. Our waiter was less than engaging with us and offered no suggestions when asked other than to say he didn't like something I asked about. On taking his first bite, my son had a long hair in his burger. We notified our waiter, who did not at all seem concerned or apologetic and took the burger to be remade. My food got cold while waiting, because I didn't want my son to eat alone. Our waiter never checked on us again after dropping off the second burger; someone else collected the check and cleared the table. I was shocked that nobody came to see if his second plate was ok, or make any type of apology. The patio was full, and in an attempt to not have any other patrons overhear, I did not say anything else about it but was extremely disappointed that the incident wasn't acknowledged or bill reduced in any way. I hope this was a fluke, but the lack of concern was definitely off putting. We've supported local businesses throughout covid, including yours, and understand things have been challenging, but that's no excuse for lack of concern when there are problems. A 92 inspection doesn't reflect well on the kitchen. Oh yes, also denied specific outdoor table because it was for people with dogs. read more

I can only give a review on service since we never made it to ordering. There were a whopping 4 tables that were occupied at 8 pm on a Thursday night. The hostess guy showed us to a 2 top with the sun dead in my eyes. I ask for a table in corner but it was a 4 top and he said he cannot seat us at a 4 top even though the place was pretty much vacant at 8pm. He said he could only place us at two other tables and it would be hard to escape the sun. We just got up and left. At least 10 tables open and just refuse to let us sit at any of them. I don't know if that hostess owns the place but if not he's losing that guy money. read more

Closer to a 4.5, but we got lucky and came when it wasn't crowded so had good service. Great creative plates, tons of flavor and great salsa and home made hot sauces. Enjoyed the shrimp tacos and tried some of my husbands excellent soup. Dishes are almost over the top as far as the amount of ingredient, oils, etc but if you want an indulgent experience go for it! Lots of vegetarian options too. read more

Wild Craft Eatery - Shrimp tacos without quest and wayyyyy too much cheese in addition removed. Great salsa. - Cafes Near Me - Boone, North Carolina

I was smelling some GOOD FOOD the entire time we sat for lunch. I couldn't help but keep looking at everyone else's plates. I would've tried everything on the menu. There's a little Mexican twist on the menu. The food is full of flavor. Great seasonings, and my salad had an amazing sweet dressing with some blackened chicken. So so tasty for a salad. read more

I ordered the tacos and it was an utter disaster. I am not sure how one can mess up putting protein and toppings onto a tortilla but these white people sure managed it. There was barely any Mahi Mahi to be found- and what was lacking in fish was made up for in an overbearing amount of sauce. Not to mention that instead of using the Cotija cheese listed on the menu, they used some sort of orange shredded nonsense that looked about as natural as a Cheeto. I expect my stomach will begin hurting at any moment. I wouldn't feed this to a death row inmate. Do not recommend! read more

I came to Boone and specifically pick this restaurant to enjoy dinning outside. They refused to let me and my husband eat outside because we did not have a dog. The other party of 4 wanted also to eat outside. All 6 of us left the restaurant to eat at another location. This was poor customer service. read more

Fun and casual. Dightful service.. Nice and tasty presentation even on simple dishes like rice and beans, and vegan tacos. Cant wait to return next time we are in Boone! read more

We found the menu selections boring. My lentil and rice dish was tasteless and astoundingly uninspired. We waited nearly two hours to get served and froze on the patio. We dislike having only a QR code for the menu. The bathroom toilet was clogged. I wish we'd gone to a different restaurant that night. read more

My boyfriend and I took a trip to Boone back in 2020 and we happened upon Wild Craft Eatery. I ordered the Boonies Pot Pie and he ordered The Yardbird. Needless to say, it was excellent. Honestly the best to-go meal I've ever had. We went back in 2021 specifically to eat here and we ordered the same thing as the year before. It was still incredibly delicious. You won't be disappointed! read more

If you want to wait an hour and fifteen to get your food, while having an empty glass and having to ask for everything, go here. At least one good thing came of it was the actual food, but make sure you don't have somewhere to be! Note to owner/manager: -get staff that know how to wait tables and have some sort of personality, they represent you and your company. -if your kitchens behind, no big whoop just tell your STAFF to just mention it to their tables and people will be understanding. read more

My first and last trip to the Hob Nob. We are seated a few feet from the bathroom. I can see right into the kitchen and I don't like what i'm seeing. The server was new - it was her first day on the job I think. 45 Minutes after ordering our meal is still not ready. Our food (and other dishes from the kitchen) sat under a lamp for 20 minutes. The place is understaffed. Meals arrived. Meat is burnt/tasteless - it didn't say on the menu that there was going to be sauce dumped all over it. My partner who usually eats everything on her plate has barely touched the food. Sorry but I can't recommend ordering anything more than a cold beer at this saloon. They don't know how to cook in the Hob Nob kitchen. read more

Whilst taking a holiday in Boone last weekend with our two children, we had planned on eating at Wild Craft Eatery and looking forward to our time there. Standing outside the restaurant and looking at the menu, our 1.5 year old daughter tripped on a table leg and knocked over a salt and pepper shaker. One fell to the ground and it broke. I found a waiter and profusely apologized. He then came out and said we owed the restaurant $13 for the shaker. Some establishments are unforgiving of accidents caused by children, despite being advertised as family friendly; regardless, we honored and paid without debate, despite our surprise at their reaction. However, one hour later, upon visiting the local grocery store, we found the exact shaker for $1.50. To be so unforgiving to a family at 5PM with a child who tripped on a table is one thing, but then to charge $11.50 more than the retail price is rude and clearly taking advantage of a family. If arriving with children, given their reaction, it may be best to frequent elsewhere, as we felt most unwelcome. read more

We were a party of 6. When the waitress brought the water and tea, we were informed that they were out of lemon and straws. I asked if they were out of anything else And she said no. My husband ordered the nachos. Oops, they were out of chips as well. The hamburgers were o ercooked and dry. The Santa Cruz burrito was tasteless even with the sauce. The salad had wilted lettuce. Reports from the BLT eater, said his sandwich was good. If you are in a hurry, this is not the place. read more

We don't make it to Boone very often, but whenever we do we try to find new restaurants of note. I had noticed Hob Nob a few times and had always seen a line on busy days, a packed patio/deck, and tons of folks looking like they were having a good time. It goes to show. Hob Nob is definitely awesome and we had a wonderful meal. Drove through Boone on a Sunday and showed up a bit early. These guys are open for breakfast, but we wanted to wait until lunch. Parking is a little bit of an issue, but you can usually find some street-side parking on the weekends. NOTE: It really is CASH ONLY. There's an ATM at the entrance that only has a $.50 transaction fee. Highly recommend having cash on hand before you go. There is plenty of seating inside and out on the deck. We decided to sit outside. Our server was a bright, shining young lady who was full of humor. We enjoyed chatting with her very much. We started with the chipotle queso dip. It was bangin'. Smoky and a little runny. I hate queso that has the characteristics of glue. This was far from that. We devoured it all. These guys do some pretty awesome things with tempeh. Reminded us both of a few places we ate at in Asheville. I ordered the Tempeh Gouda Tacos. Two tacos, packed with gouda, avocado, other veg, and plenty of crispy tempeh. Loved the balance of flavors. My wife ordered the Divinewich -- portabellos, tofu, a slammin' aioli, and homemade bread. We split each entree and were total happy campers. For a veggie-friendly meal, we were both overtly pleased. Next time, I'm looking forward to trying one of their noodle bowls. Great job, Hob Nob! read more

Me and my family stumbled upon this place while looking for a different restaurant. Wild Craft Eatery has amazing food that is tasty to the buds. I had the Boonies Pot Pie and absolutely loved it. I've never had a hot "intoxicant" drink, but the ginger and cider together really hit the spot for a cold night! The hospitality and service was excellent and the whole place had a peaceful and uplifting vibe. If you like to eat healthy with flavor then definitely go! It's not a huge place, but it's so unique and cozy that I'll remember it forever. Enjoy and check out the menu before you go so you know what's there. Flavor, friendly, and fun :) read more

Had a good breakfast here when it was called Tupelo's World Cafe. Came back through when traveling and they changed the name to Hob Nob. I had the Huevos Rancheros and my gf had the egg sandwich. First of all the Huevos were just beans and scrambled eggs over deep friend tortillas with about a lb. of cheese. No cilantro, no lime, no salsa...nothing mexicano about it... total gringo piss. Absolute garbage. Think it was 10 bucks too. For ten bucks I want habaneros, cumin, cilantro, pepper jack...shit I want a Margarita with that. She had the egg sandwich. This thing has about a 1/4 cup of mayo based red pepper aioli mixed in it. She was so depressed that someone put mayo on scrambled eggs that she didn't talk for 2 hrs after we ate. Enter dark period. This place ruined my day. We'd been Hob Nobbed. Mayonaise on eggs??? That is F*'n gross. Not sure how the rest of the menu is but seriously, get the egg sandwich if you want to puke. read more

Hands down the worst dining experience we've had in a long time. Dined here with my husband while visiting Boone. Had a ton of suggestions via FB, but our ATT phones couldn't pick it up - total signal fail. I supposed if you are a vegetarian, this place is ok, but we are not. We should have left before ordering. Instead, we opted for the 'carolina yardbird'. Described this way: Mashed potatoes topped w/ sautéed chicken breast & rosemary mushroom gravy w/ steamed broccoli, yellow corn & carrots. Served with cheese biscuits So, being from Atlanta, this is what I was expecting. A lovely chicken breast with a fragrant gravy and these 'farm' fresh veggies. What we received was diced chicken breast in a grey gravy with canned corn, old carrots that were barely warm and frozen biscuits cut in half with some shredded cheese on top. I don't eat broccoli, but the hubs does and he said it wasn't good. This place has fantastic reviews everywhere. So if you are so inclined to not want meat and potatoes, maybe you'll love it. We did not. read more
