I have never written any sort of review before but feel compelled to share what just happened. We stumble upon this restaurant pre-dinner rush. Upon sitting down with our party of three plus baby we attempted to order several alcoholic beverages which the first four they were out of. Even with a robust kids menu they were out of milk. After placing our order of an appetizer, two entrees and a kids meal the waiter, Zack M. walked away shaking his head in disgust. We have no idea what we did to annoy him. We later asked for more beverages before meal came out and he blew past us only saying "yup." He later came with food and slammed down the plates on table. After the meal he promptly brought the check not asking if we wanted desserts. Clearly wanting us to vacate the table. On the way out I accidentally knocked over a basket of paper napkins with my child's backpack. My wife turned around while carrying the baby and apologized and he said "yeah whatever." I've NEVER had such rude service before. I get people have a bad day but I've never felt so unwelcome before. We even had given a full tip. After the napkin incident I wish I would have heard what he said but my wife wouldn't tell me until we got to car. read more

An amazingly delicious meal. I had tofu tacos that were filled with tofu, beets, slaw, corn, and avocado. A spicy aoli. Can't wIt to go back!!! read more

Excellent food with very homey flavors. Great service & atmosphere. Would recommend for anyone not in a rush and looking to get full!

Maybe it was an off day and I really hate to write reviews that aren't great. But I wasn't terribly impressed. The Server wasn't attentive, forgot my kids drink and I had to ask for it twice. My wife's Mumbai mule (whatever it was called ) was not good. It was watered down or something; I couldn't my put my finger on it. When the food came, we got our foods at different times and I had to ask the server to bring our silverware more than once. It wasn't busy so I couldn't really understand what the issue was. Aside from that, the location is excellent. The place was cool and the hostess was on point. The menu options sounded great. We sat outside and that was awesome. Unfortunately unless I hear the staff can get it together I won't be back for some time. read more

The vegetarian biscuits & gravy w/ tempeh was the single best brunch meal I've ever eaten. Also came w/ nice selection of unique hotsauce flavors. Ingredients are mostly locally sourced and organic. And the portions are huge. Great service, great location in downtown Boone, with nice view of downtown Boone and the mountains as a backdrop, if you eat outside. Love this place. read more

Went there with a large group and waited for over 90 minutes to be served. While we waited, every other table was seated, served, and paid (even other equally large tables). The waitress and manager were both defensive rather than apologetic. We have been going to this restaurant for several years during visits to the region. We will never go back. read more

Mike is a fabulous chef - food from five continents done right. Plus locally grown organic ingredients, awesome sangria and good beer selection. A+ read more

I have eaten at the Hob Nob Farm Café about 10 times in the past 2.5 years though it is 30 minutes from home. Never anything but very happy with my meals. Good choices in vegetarian and meat categories. Wholesome, fresh, creative... Local foods. An international favors menu. Good selection of alcoholic drinks. Friendly service. The no charge card policy has never been a problem for me. I like that they turn their backs on the banks this way. Recommended highly. read more

To classify what I ate there tonight as "amazing" would be doing it a huge disservice. From the tomato gouda soup, to the BBQ tempeh sandwich and mashed potatoes, everything was simply terrific. The servings were large, but not excessively so, and our server was extremely knowledgeable and on the ball. If I lived in Boone, this would be my go-to comfort food spot. read more

Great tasting food, but overpriced even for farm to table dining. The meat for the burger was delicious. The chipotle queso was too hot for any one in our party to eat. read more

Very rude staff, especially greeter. Took 5 min for someone to even acknowledge our family and then when the guy came over he looked annoyed. We told him 2 adults, 3 children and he looked around at all the empty 4 tops and said..."uhh, it's going to be a wait. We can't pull a high hair up to a table." With large isles this would NOT have been hard or inconvenient to pull up a high chair to a large 4 top....needless to say we won't be giving them our service anytime soon. During this time 2 women also walked in and were seated but then walked out because no one came to their table to get drink orders...rude. read more

I only give it 1 because 0 was not an option. My boyfriend and I came here for a special dinner, just me and him. We were seated by a person with no personality who said nothing to us them promptly walked away. Our server was rude and completely ambivalent to us even being a customer. The food was horrible. We will never be back nor should you. read more

My husband and I were on vacation in Boone and stopped into Wild Craft Eatery around 3pm on a Sunday. There were about 3 other couples there eating. After 40 minutes, they bring out our food. My plate looked good, but my husband's tempeh tacos were completely burnt to a crisp. Like black. They even smelled burnt. I can't believe they allowed that to leave the kitchen. He returned them, but we didn't want to wait another 40 minutes for a new plate, so he shared mine. I had sweet potato enchiladas and they were actually delicious. We were just really disappointed because there aren't a ton of vegan-friendly restaurants in our home town and he was looking forward to something done well. read more

Great little lunch spot with a uniquely crafted menu tailored to vegan/vegetarians but with options for carnivores as well.

Is called Hob Nob Farm Cafe now.Very imaginative menu for very reasonable price. We like the weekend brunch especially.

1.5 Hr wait for a bowl of over-cooked sweet potatoes, over-sized chunks of broccoli (ever heard of bite-size?), some super hot (pre-cut, pre-packaged?!) carrots, some carrots cold in the middle, hot lava pebbles (AKA over-cooked peas), some cold-in-the-middle peas... And the chicken? The menu said nothing about freaking chicken lips... Chicken is chicken, rather than "traces" of chicken. I hope I am wrong, but this kind of food is usually called ding-ding food, as in microwave-made. The floor wasn't that crowded. Dishes came out one at the time... every once in a while... I thought Ransey's Hell Kitchen was an over-exploded-for-tv show. Well, it felt as if I had just walked into one of his shows. I kid you not! Servers had a bit of an attitude, I gather a strategy to fend off the patron's temper after waiting so freaking long for just one dish. It didn't work, btw. Wine - One look at list and felt like I was being robbed in the middle of a COSCO wine isle. Simply, creativity ain't exactly their forte. Tip $0.04. Let the kitchen staff pay the front of the house staff's tips, since they charge full price (in cash), and abuse of the ever prevalent excuse - It ain't the server's fault. Neither is the patron's. It's the kitchen's, so pony up and pay the servers from your pocket. read more

Very very slow to be seated and over an hour to be served. The food was average and NOT worth the wait. Don't ask for honey mustard. It took 20 minutes and a second request. read more

My bad for going into this type of restaurant, but my selection was absolutely horrible. I ordered tempa...Not knowing what it was... And I could not eat it. I guess you have to be a true vegan to enjoy this restaurant. But certainly not my cup of tea. read more

Great food and service! I'm also happy that this place is still there because in the past restaurants at that location never stayed for very long. I think the longest one before Hob Knob was Angelica's Vegetarian place. Anyway, as stated; Great food and service! read more

The food here is great, as long as you don't mind waiting a little bit. However, our waitress seemed to be aggravated for most of the meal and thus made the experience a little uncomfortable. read more

We were very excited to try this place tonight, but not sure what happened. Arrived around 8 pm, and waited a few minutes for a table as place was full. Initially service was prompt, drinks ordered and brought quickly to table. Ordered 2 Watauga Burgers and the Cuzco cakes. The place cleared out over the next hour and we didn't see our waitress for quite some time. She finally came around 9:05 pm and said our order would be out in 2 minutes. The Cuzco cakes arrived about 5 minutes later and then 5-10 more minutes later, the 2 burgers arrived. Very well done, and not what I expected. I'm hoping this was just an odd night as the menu is awesome. Will give it another try, and maybe come earlier, as it seemed the staff was ready for us to leave....but that could have been 45 minutes earlier! read more

Shepherds pie was very good. The house made hot sauce made the dish though. Hot but not too hot. Apple carrot and habanero. Great mix.

Very good service and flavors. We had the meatloaf and Havana plate, both were very good. We got there at about 6:30 and it seemed a bit slow but it soon picked up and the atmosphere took an upbeat read more

My fiancé and I were at Boone for a wedding and looking for a place for brunch. Although there was just a lunch menu we were very pleasantly surprised. My fiancé got the burrito and said it's the best burrito he has had , and I got the meatloaf melt which I loved. Our waitress was very nice and attentive as well. The homemade hot sauce is definitely worth trying as well! read more

I have always had great food and service at Wild Craft Eatery. There are a lot of vegetarian and vegan dishes available, and my waiters have always been very friendly and helpful. I have only been here three or so times, but it has quickly become one of my favorite places to eat in Boone. Every dish I order here has been incredibly good, and their coffee is excellent. I very highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a local place in Boone. read more

An "Ethnic American" restaurant. They have many vegan options and Scandinavian, Jamaican, Indian, Italian and Mexican sections of the menu. It's actually very tasty. The service is a little slow as the wait staff consists of friendly hippies. I would defiantly go back again. read more

this place has it all! great staff, space, food and drink :)

DO NOT GO!!!!! The smoothies are slimy and chunky. We went there and ordered three appetizers but the waitress came back and told us that they were out of chips. When we asked for straws she told us they were out of those too. The service was equally as disappointing. And the bathroom was scary. One nice thing - the patio is very comfortable. read more

Not worth the wait! Waited 1.5 hr for our food (party of 3 only). No compensation whatsoever. They were out of many items on the menu, so my husband ordered a hamburger which arrived cold. Definitely not returning to this place! read more

Food was ok, service was not great. There were many open tables when we got there on a Sunday afternoon, but were told it was a 15-20 minute wait. I mentioned we could sit outside but the hostess didn't seem to care. When the hostess called us for our table she walked and dropped the menus on the table and walked off without saying anything to us. She did not give us enough silverware, as well. We were seated next to the door that led to the patio where the server and hostess repeatedly walked through slamming it several times right behind me. The hostess came around to fill our drinks and asked if my husband had sweet tea, which he responded yes. She said she'd get him more and that never happened. The food was ok, but by the time it came out, I was already disappointed. They were out of several things and I had to wait 15 minutes to get my iced tea. Seems like it could be a good place, but they definitely don't have enough people or the right people working there. read more

Arrived at 1:30pm for lunch. Food arrived at 3:30pm. Most awful wait ever for a soggy sandwich. They did provide a 25% discount but for the service provided the meal should have been comped at 100%. Will never return to this restaurant. read more

the service is awful here! i have been waiting for an hour for just a burrito and very disappointed in the staff. healthy food but not worth the wait by an means. read more

Great local food. GF, vegan, vege items and healthy local grass fed proteins. Great smoothies and service. Also offer healthy breakfast. Nice alternative to all the processed, heavy food we found in the area. read more

I was chatting with a local, asked for a lunch place, and he recommended this place. We were delighted with the food, the service, and the vibe even on a busy Saturday afternoon. The venison burger was delicious: packed with flavor. One of us ordered the open-faced grilled cheese and she loved it. They're not strict with the kids menu ("12 and under"). A bit of a hipster 'tude, but worth it. read more

I have an unhealthy obsession with this joint. They have such a large variety of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options, each of which never fails to disappoint. Wildcraft also offers a killer drink menu that won't completely wreck your health lol. They staff is super friendly and the entire restaurant is decorated with adorably quaint, hip decor. If I could, I would go to the place errday breakfast lunch and dinner! read more

Favorite restaurant in Boone. Excellent service and knowledgeable staff. Large variety of choices especially for those with special diets- vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, etc. Cooked to order and fresh ingredients. Also dog friendly which is a must. read more

Very good food with unusual dishes. Service is another story. Had to wait over an hour for our food after we ordered. Drinks went empty and had a hard time locating our server. If you are in a hurry this is not the place for you. However, the dishes are tasty and reasonable. read more

MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT. Yet again. WCE is always busy, a hot spot in our town for tourists. I work and live in Boone and we took a co-worker today, thinking we would eat somewhere a little nicer. Bad move. They were out of the lemon lime can soda I requested (that's the 2nd time now). I ordered the open faced meatloaf sandwich. The slice of meatloaf was smaller than my computer mouse. It looked minuscule on the two pieces of bread. If the slices were small, they should have included two. It was swimming in some kind of lettuce that they piled on, I can only guess, to make up for or hide the tiny piece of meatloaf. A co-worker ordered the noodle bowl which was swimming in so much oil, she had to request another plate to drain some of it off. She ate some, but ended up stopping because the oil that coated everything was making her stomach turn. We were all left underwhelmed and won't be going back any time soon. read more

Cute local spot. I had the quesadilla with pork, sweet potato, spinach and goat cheese. My husband had the Shephard's pie with venison. Both delicious and very filling! read more

This place was okay. Nice outside eating. Waiter was a little smarmy. Foot was good. I had a sesame noodle dish which was just all right. My wife had the Montezuma's Revenge (burrito) which she liked a lot more. Prices were fair. read more
