We were visiting from out of town and they had an inviting porch and interesting menu. When we finally got around to having our drinks ordered it probably took another 20 minutes to get them. Both of our water glasses were dirty with orange/brown leftover something on them. Our food took another 30+minutes to arrive and he had ordered a burger while I had ordered a Brie plate. It literally had out of a bag still frozen fruit on the plate and the bread was pieces of toasted wheat bread sliced into strips. I was so disappointed in my meal that we had waited quite a bit of time for. The only saving grace was another worker who was super sweet and seemed to genuinely care that we had a bad experience but our server didn't seem to care either way. Everyone else around us also seemed annoyed waiting long times for their food so I don't think it was just us on that issue. Will not be back. read more

Healthy, Whole Foods. The venison burger was delectable and the plantains that's came with my Cuban rice and beans were so savory. Loved it

Fruit flies everywhere. Ordered the brie appetizer and most of the fruit that came with it was frozen. Husband ordered salmon and it was fishy mush. Mine was canned sweet potato mashed and rolled into tortillas, with canned pineapple on top. Wine "special" tasted like vinegar. Not good at all but service was decent. read more

Great atmosphere,service and the food was really tasty! Had the BEST biscuits and gravy EVER! Loved that all the old clocks were stopped @4:20 . Only thing that this old hippy found uncomfortable was that it was TOO cold in the dining room. read more

Disgusting. By far one of the most nasty places i have ate. While the waiter was by far a wonderful person the same cannot be said of the food or the cleanliness of said establishment. I will not be back. read more

I have eaten here at least ten times while the restaurant was Hob Knob, and countless times as Angelica's as I went to grad school at App State and return to Boone as often as my schedule allows. The food has always been fantastic, but my last experience here may have been my last due to the severely poor wait service. I can't recall a time when I've had worse. From the waitress insulting us when we sat down with my friend's three year old daughter and ordered a smoothie for her( which is a menu item)- she coyly informed us, " I don't wait on children that often". The rest of her service was beyond pathetic leaving us with empty water glasses, asking for more and asking for the smoothie four times before she actually delivered it. Meanwhile we saw people seated behind us get their food and be served in advance of our 3 adult one child table. The management of this restaurant needs to evaluate their staff. As my friend was paying, she still left this person a 20% tip. If I were paying it would have been a penny, and I always tip 20% plus. Do yourself a favor and go to Coyote Kitchen. This place service wise has hit rock bottom. read more

It was really awesome! Great taste and very fulfilling. I couldn't even finish the meal! Def a place to go to if you are searching for vegan or vegetarian options. read more

We were told it would be fifteen minutes wait for seating, that turned into 30 minutes. Once we were seated and had ordered, the wait was over an hour. Definitely not worth it where there's so many other local cafes in the area. read more

Was looking forward to eating here because so many people said how great it was. Had a reservation for a large party, so they knew ahead of time there would be a party along with regular Saturday morning rush, and yet there were only 2 servers on. Needless to say the service was super slow (could actually see the manager walking around not helping at all) and the food took almost an hour to come out and tasted awful. My eggs were burnt and tasteless, and the gravy on my biscuits was lukewarm at most. I was sitting with a party of 12 people and not a single person liked their meal! We were all extremely disappointed, and no one even asked if we were happy with our meals. Big thumbs down. read more

We went at a slow time on a Thursday night and the service was excellent. The diverse menu was great for me because I am a vegetarian and the beyond burger was absolutely delicious. Also very trendy and cute decor. However my dad had the venison burger and noted that it was dry and hard to eat, but maybe it was just an off day. read more

Came here for dinner in a Sunday, not too crowded. We both got burgers and were pretty underwhelmed as far as taste goes. Cooked perfectly to our specifications (medium rare) and a decent size, just nothing too spectacular with flavor profile. The side salad was good. Service was relative quick and staff was upbeat. Probably won't be venturing back, but good atmosphere and can certainly see potential. read more

Chose this place based on the outside seating and that they allowed dogs. The patio was great, service was attentive but extremely slow. My wife enjoyed her Surf N Turf tacos, I got the Arroz Con Pollo and it was horrible, flavorless black beans, along side a mess of overcooked rice, bland veggies and half a dozen slivers of flavorless chicken. One of the worst dishes I've ever had, I should have sent it back, don't know why I didn't. read more

Our dinner at the Hobnob was so wonderful that we came back the next day for lunch. What a delicious surprise. Traveling through the area and we Yelped this restaurant. The flavors of our entrees were complex and interesting and Molly our server was a delight. The ONLY less than perfect detail was overly salty tortilla chips with an incredible Salsa Verde app. The Mariposa Enchilada was the highlight of all our choices. The food is all fresh, homemade (gourmet-made would be more accurate) and healthy. The yellow curry dish we had for lunch was huge and delicious. Its sweetness was balanced by the seasoning on the tempeh that our other wonderful server, Isani, recommended. We're so glad we found this gem. read more

My tummy was happy after eating here. They have tasty and health-conscious food items with high quality meats, plus vegetarian and gluten free options. In addition, there are toy buckets (great idea!) to keep the kids entertained and very friendly servers. It's a little funky/alternative (like the rest of Boone) but draws a diverse crowd. It did seem like people had to wait to be seated at peak lunch rush, even though there were empty tables around. read more

If you like bad service and cheap food, this is the place for you. My family and I went here on a slow Boone Friday only to wait 1+ hours for odd and way off foods. This is a little hippy spot and just because the food is organic doesn't mean it's good. The Service was slow and the cook woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Not going back anytime soon. read more

Loved the ghost pepper cheese sandwich! Just the right amount of heat. The chicken nachos were also out of this world. The mango lassi was not what you'd get at an Indian place but was decent. I loved the huge variety of unique choices on their menu. I'd love to come back to try the rest. Be aware they are cash only. Love the quirky interior decorations! read more

This place is like crack... cannot stop going back for more. Great service, great food, great smoothies!

Food was great and service was attentive. Inside was a little stuffy, so eat out doors for a better experience.

What a great surprise! Hubs and I were in town very briefly on business and a quick Yelp review led us here. Our good fortune! Even though we were a bit early for lunch service and they didn't have everything available that was listed on the menu, our server helped us find our way to some great selections A very creative and broad menu. I loved the Cusco Cakes and hubs had a tortilla he really enjoyed. Our server was excellent - very pleasant, professional and thorough. We will visit again when we return to Boone. read more

Cutest most charming unique place to eat. Their tomato soup and kale salad is a must. Best thing on the menu was the D-burrito! Beer is great, waiters are on point, and the atmosphere is the best. Very relaxing, hippie feel from the music to the food to the decor. Will be back for sure! read more

Enjoyed this eclectic restaurant with healthier options. From out of town and thought this was a hidden gem. Yes, the food takes a long time to come out but I just figure they are really taking the time to make it. We all enjoyed the unique dishes served at our large table of people. read more

Everything was well prepared and super fresh tasting. A lot of thouggt and creativity was put into each dish.

I thought this place was GREAT! I loved the eclectic menu choices and the staff was attentive during a fairly busy lunch hour. I had one of the specials made with Quinoa, which you don't see on an everyday menu. I will be back next time I visit Boone. read more

Tired decor with a slow kitchen. I had the Indian curry which was quite tasty and spicy. The rest of the family had the burritos, where they found some of the food combinations questionable. Chopped apples? Interior dining area is beat up, dark and depressing. We must have ordered something out of the ordinary as our meals where slow coming out of the kitchen read more

I had lunch here twice while in the Boone area on vacation. The food I ordered was great. I like that there is a nice patio that allows dogs. I like that Hob Nob offers vegetarian fare. It is a cash only place which was okay with me. I suggest the Thai dishes. They were awesome. read more

Dined here this past weekend with 6 other ladies. Eclectic atmosphere and definitely a different twist on the same old tired menu you see any and everywhere you go. I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect. The menu you had to actually read and ponder over your selection. Fresh local ingredients with interesting combinations. It was nice to sit outside and watch the main road filled with people both walking and driving by. Small restaurant with a big following. We did not mind the wait. Service staff was spot on. Will definitely return when back in Boone......breakfast next time. PS.....and for those that complain about "cash or check only", you certainly have never had to review nor pay the invoice from the company that handles credit card transactions. If the fees paid to credit card processing companies were avoided, restaurants (small businesses) could definitely stay more involved in the community with charitable offerings, lower food prices, higher wages etc. Just sayin"....... read more

Had a great brumch here. Several not so common items (i had shepherds' pie) and several more common (wife had huevos rancheros) - all really well done with local produce. Much more on menu looked really appetizing. Several vegan and vegeterian options, and lots of fresh local produce in the food. Warm drink options somewhat limited. Great inhouse-made ghost pepper sauce that was tasty and not too hot read more

Five stars for sure. It's not NC barbecue, pizza, or another Boone grunge-country throwback...the food here is excellent. I was worried because I can't stand "crafty" people...especially beards, tats and dreadsy hair...multi colored. Uckkkkk - so pretentious and image inflated, and someone called this place a "craft" eatery. Well...dang. Best dinner I've had in a long time. And the staff here are nice (without that country-sweet and shallow smiley crap you seem to get everywhere else in Boone). Their just friendly. If you're a non-foodie like me, don't let the menu scare you...you gotta take a chance. Best place in Boone. read more

Terrible experience. Soda served in cans...not fountain drinks. Wait was incredibly long. Server smelled of B.O. Price was expensive for the mediocre food served. Place is loud AF...the only soft surfaces are the unfortunate people choosing to eat here over all the better choices in this town. read more

Hidden gem to find Latin Inspired food. I had the Havana and it was terrific. Will definitely have this on my list for visiting Boone.

I remember when this place was a crappy run down bbq joint. I love what they have done with it (there's only so much you can do with the building). I was sad to hear that Angelica's was gone but I loved all the dishes we got at Hob Nob. I even took the menu home with me so I could see if my friend (who owns one of the only healthy eating restaurants in my town) could make some similar dishes. I wish I lived closer so I could visit more often. PLEASE support this place, as I would love to have it be still in business on my next trip back to Boone!! read more

Awesome service and a very diverse menu. Theres something for everyone. Bring cash! They don't take credit cards.

Had the delicious pork burrito, it was full of all kinds of yumminess. My partner had the portabella panini, and it was also delicious. Started with chips and guacamole, just the right amount of spice and it was served quickly. The waitress was helpful and friendly. Everything tasted very fresh and it is was served in a very nouveau way. We had iced tea to drink (sweet, of course), and it was just right, too. Would definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

On our way into Boone, we looked up restaurants on Yelp and decided to try this spot. My daughter is a vegetarian and we felt that this was a good choice for her. The place has a very easy going comfortable feel to it. I wouldn't exactly call their menu inexpensive but let me say this. How often do you take a family of five, with different tastes, to a restaurant and have all five exclaiming that their entree choice is great? Not good, but outstanding? I will let that statement speak for itself. read more

My boyfriend and I had an early dinner here. We had the Mayan Plate and the Jerk Chicken plate. The food was very good - flavorful, healthy, and unique. I would definitely go back if I am ever in Boone again. read more

We loved visiting this charming, local restaurant that uses a lot of local produce and meat. Not only were our meals delicious, the wait staff was knowledgeable, friendly and prompt! We were also pleased and impressed to learn that the reason they stopped taking credit cards is to buy more local, fresh foods AND to pay their staff better wages! This is written on cards for the customers, so we checked with our server and she confirmed it. We loved sitting outside on a lovely fall day! read more

Fantastic organic restaurant. All major food components are local including the grass fed beef, eggs, and year round fresh produce. Plenty of organic, vegan, gluten-free, etc options all across the menu. Very friendly service and great food all around! The restaurant interior is also very accommodating with hundreds of handmade trinkets and antiques adorning every surface. A new Boone favorite hands down! read more

Food was fabulous the service was a little slow. The patio outdoor seating was very nice

This time, the service was great. I had the Tennessee Tamale, which is vegan and gluten free, filled with greens, mushrooms, and other vegetables, and delicious. The plate has black beans, two fried plantains, and some spring mix and sliced tomato. Everything is fresh and tasty, and the portions really fill you. You really need to eat at this place! read more

Love this place. I travel to boone every few weeks and this is always my first stop. Santa Fe salad and chipotle queso are amazing!
