I don't eat red meat or pork so this place sparked my interest! They have a wide variety of vegan/vegetarian while still with some meat selections. They had even enough to keep my carnivore husband intrigued. He ended up with the meatloaf wrapped in bacon with a side of chips and salsa. I got the sweet potato enchilada which was delicious with a small side salad. It had such a great flavor with cut up apples and walnuts on top. It was so filing! Everything was fresh and locally sourced/organic. There was so much on the menu I wanted to try. The beer selection was decent and I had the mango/ pear sangria which was delicious. They do not have liquor but they do have wine and beer. Service was up to speed on a busy Saturday afternoon. We sat on the patio which had plenty of seats. Only compliant was they only have one bathroom and it wasn't flushing. So quite the line started. I'm sure they have gotten it fixed by now. read more

Stumbled upon this true gem in the heart of Boone for a late lunch. We sat at the charming little bar and had the pleasure of being served by Nova. Our experience began with tasty, fun handcrafted cocktails including a Bloody Mary, a Champagne vodka cocktail (I can't remember the name of, but tasted as good as it looked) and a non alcoholic hibiscus berry tea. Our food came out in a very reasonable time frame. Presentation was wry appealing. My husband had the Garam Masala Curry, I had the Baja Mahi tacos (gf), & my son had the B.L.T. All were absolutely delicious, but the B.L.T. won the contest in my book. Thanks for a great dining experience Nova & staff! We will be back! read more

I was back in Boone this past weekend and decided to eat at the Wild Craft Eatery on King Street being it was Friday and most of the college kids have left on break. No waiting. First time there. Food and service was excellent. Had a cocktail and a cup of tomato gouda soup. For an entree I had the Santa Fe Chicken Salad. Everything was very unique and delicious. Will definitely come back. read more

My first time ordering and was blown away. So fresh and tasty. Tired of the same old same old and wanted to try something new. We got the Habana plate, Santa Fe Salad and the Carolina Yardbird as well as the vegan chocolate cake. Unfortunately our inability to refrain from taking a bit or two of the cake means no pic. Boone Delivery brought it to the house. Thank you. read more

Best seasoned burger in town on a fluffy bun. Beef from 6 miles away. Staff was courteous and very helpful with selections. Large vegan options. Menu has varied options for lunch. Check it out! read more

Honestly if you're in Boone and like to eat good food then I think you'll like this place. They let my group of 6 in as the kitchen was starting to shut down and still hooked us up without issue. I'll return next time I'm in Boone read more

Great place!!!! We have been eating her before it's previously reincarnation, and always love it. Creative dishes, excellently made. Delicious! Lots of varied vegetarian choices. Most recently we took take-out, it also was great. When we were there a couple of weeks ago it was closed for lunch, but I think they were going to open for lunches soon. read more

Very creative, adventurous and delicious menu. Never had a bad meal there. I love the Havana bowl.

Amaizing Yellow curry , I forgot to add protein but don't need it .one of the best favors and the cold wether of NC Boone, also recommend the beer Hibiscus lavender Ginger . read more

Absolutely delicious food. Delightful staff. I prefer eating outside during the day to watch the street but the inside is cozy unless the music is too loud. The carolina sweet potato enchiladas are my favorite! read more

La Paz....basically black beans and rice. I asked about quinoa and waiter said " we add a teaspoon ful". I think he was correct.

Absolutely delicious food, and great service. I got a special, the tally ho tamale. It was sensational. My daughter got the black. Bean burrito and my husband got the tempeh Gouda tacos. All was fabulous and well be back every time we're in Boone read more

Great food and atmosphere. Love the new menu and cocktails. The service was great too. Highly recommend.

Fabulously prepared and wildly tasty food in a quaint setting. Love the owner, Nova and the staff.

Delicious fresh meals with vegetarian options. Interesting taste combinations. Helpful staff. Unique atmosphere and outdoor seating.

We ended up going here because the bagel place across the street had too long of a line. I'm glad we did though because I definitely enjoyed my meal here. We sat outside where they had a nice covered patio. I got the mushroom gouda burger, but they didn't have mushrooms, so I guess it was just a gouda burger. I loved the burger, it was very juicy and flavorful. I typically like fries with my burgers, but they didn't have that as a side, so I got the rice and beans which was very bland. If they had better side options and faster service, I'd probably give this place 5 stars. read more

We stopped in for an app and cold beer. We ordered the chips with salsa and added queso. The salsa was excellent. It almost had a sweet after taste. The queso was thick, not creamy as expected. However it was ok. I would highly recommend the salsa, but skip the queso. Beer is cold and there plenty of local options. The entrees that we saw looked wonderful. But, truth be told, it was a bit too eclectic for our tastes. read more

Food here is totally delicious. Small seating area so be aware it may be tough to get a spot, but the food and service was certainly worth my wait. read more

Very good healthy selections. We ordered the mojo burrito and Mahi tacos. Very tasty and plentiful serving. Great service. We called ahead and got on the list, that made waiting very convenient. We would go back for sure. read more

I ordered Boonies Pot Pie...if you go, avoid it like the plague. Biscuits, a blob of mashed potatoes, several small chunks of beef, raw carrot slices, and a smattering of peas...Some sort of mushroom/sausage? gravy poured over the whole mess. read more

What a surprise. A very pleasant one. Venison burger, tomato soup, ravioli and one chocolate torte that floored us. All were fabulous, all obviously constructed of high quality ingredients and that difference maker, the intangible of loving what one does. I rarely order ravioli and did so here on a pure whim. Perfectly cooked fresh pasta. Sauce was so good that I wanted to lick the plate. Simply fabulous. Someone in that kitchen knows what they are doing & they care how they do it. Thanks read more

Food is creative, unique and always well executed. Love eating here when I am in town, having been a loyal patron for many years. Service has always been friendly, but you can tell they get a bit overwhelmed when it's very busy. Love the food, love the patio, and love the uniqueness. read more

The drinks were creative and delicious, awesome food! So unique! Apps were good and big plates, so amazing!

Excellent place! We got there just as it opened but they got busy fast. Hubs got the Havana Plate and added jalapeños. He said it outstanding and the jalapeños put it over the top. I got the brisbee burger special, perfection! Their queso is a show stopper, especially on the nachos. Marin, our server, was great. Thanks for the 2 extra chips, Marin . read more

Pros: Delicious food (tomato Gouda bisque, love bug smoothie, shepherds pie)!! Relaxed atmosphere, nice music. Very attentive staff. Reasonable prices. Cons: Staff all pitches in and helps with everything (our waiter took us to our tables, took our order and bused another table while we were there), which can be a great thing but it can also lead to you missing parts of the order. It wasn't a big deal but we had to ask for one drink twice. read more

We both had delicious dinners before the show at the Schaeffer Center. Very interesting flavors . There was a 45 min wait but the hostess found us a seat at the bar. We will definitely come back. read more

We have had two meals while in town and both have been absolutely amazing! This place deserves higher reviews. We loved it so much that we had to go back a second time. I personally loved the veganista salad and the Tally Ho vegan tamale, both were top vegan meals I've ever had. I have no pictures because I ate both quickly. My partner also loved the tomato soup. We will absolutely be back next time we are visiting! read more

Wild Craft Eatery on King Street in Boone is a great place to get unique food offerings that are tasty and filling and something different than your average restaurant. I really like the vibe and atmosphere of this place as it is vert welcoming and laid back and it feels like a home away from home. They have the option of eating inside or outside on a patio which is cool on a nice day as there is a lot going on and a good view of the main street and everyone going by. I really liked the food and what I was able to order and taste from everyone else's plates. Everything was delicious and I left with a smile on my face and wanting to come back and have some more. Wild Craft Eatery is awesome and different. read more

The star is for the cute decor, and the food being edible. After the long wait for the food, we were starving and were able to eat it, but given that we had one only night to eat out in Boone on this trip, this place was a massive disappointment. And for what we received, the food was ridiculously overpriced. What we ordered, and what we got, was a bait & switch in terms of ingredients described and items received. The Aurora Berryalis smoothie had virtually no berry taste, probably made from frozen, and was clearly lacking the strawberries listed in the ingredients. The "homemade toast with jade lemon olive oil and avocado" was literally one slice of store-bought white bread, toasted and cut in half, dry, with three thin slices of avocado per toast half. No homemade bread, no olive oil, lemon-infused or no, and stingy on the avocado. The "mixed lettuce, spinach" in my salad was plain grocery store leaf lettuce. No spinach, no mix of lettuces. I won't go through each ingredient, and each dish, but of the five prepared items we ordered, four of them had significant ingredient changes and omissions from what was listed on the menu. Overall, we felt cheated by this place. We spent a lot of money for cheap, stingy ingredients, slow service, and very mediocre food. read more

Eating there this weekend. always warm atmosphere, warm food, and relaxed here for me and my whole family. Fresh is best especially when I can choose from so many locally sourced items either grown or bought Pickup process was excellent. Food was fantastic - warm and fresh, and divine (Tofu Divinwich very good). read more

Yummy!! Tomato basil soup, Gouda cheese sandwiches the kids adored!! Will definitely be back!! read more

I would have given this establishment 5 stars if the hostess had not rolled her eyes when I asked, before sitting down at the table she led us to, if she would not seat us at the cramped corner table(my husband is 6'2" and 225). But, I digress... Our server had a lovely personality and we received excellent service! I ordered the Bison Chili and a Wedge Salad. Both were delicious and nicely plated on "camping fire" style plates. The menu focuses on healthy option, both gluten free and vegan. I will be back! read more

Thank you for being open in a snow storm! Terrific options for everyone. But what makes me squeal with joy are your vegan options! Yummy! Hob Knob is listed under more than one category, not sure how this happened, but it might be confusing? read more

Happened upon this place while in Boone last week & had one of THE best meals I've had in months!!! We've been on an epic road trip since August & have eaten out too many times, but this meal near the end of the trip was SO SO SO good!! I had the shepherds pie, something I usually never order, but with venison & biscuits as ingredients I had to go for it & was so glad I did! I will dream of this meal it was so good! Definitely worth a try. read more

Delicious food, friendly employees, and numerous options available. We decided to stop in while we were visiting App State. Our waitress was smiling and attentive. Along with other items, they have several vegan and vegetarian options available that are clearly marked on the menu. It took us a while to decide what we wanted to eat since there were so many tasty options available. I decided on their veganista salad and hot Jasmine tea and liked them both. The tea is brought out in the pot with the tea bag in it. This was great since then I could decide how long I wanted to steep it for. When I finished the tea, I was offered more hot water. I tried the tofu divinewich that my friend ordered and it was amazing! Overall, we enjoyed Watauga Farm Burger, Tofu Divinewhich, Lone Star Nachos, and Veganista. Only downsides were the flies since the restaurant was open (open doors and windows due to the nice weather) and we did not like the Tomato Gouda soup. We definitely want to return again to try some of their other options! read more

Why on Earth am I the first to review this gem? Very high quality farm to table ingredients. This restaurant caters to vegetarians, vegans, gluten free, and meat eaters. The wife enjoyed a grass fed beef hamburger that was perfectly cooked and very high quality. I had the Garam Masala Yellow Curry (with Tofu as protein, others available) which was one of the most unusual meals I have had in some time: jasmine rice, spicy yellow curry with roasted yams, haricot vert, red bell peppers, kale & carrots, purple cabbage, mango & cashew. Very nicely sized portion. This was the on the special menu and regular menu. Very casual atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating. Attentive staff who knows the menu and offered recommendations. Had to wait for a table on a Saturday afternoon, popular local place. And oh, GET THE SPICED PEAR FALL SANGRIA!!!! Off the charts yummy...... read more

Yum! Farm to table...farm hippy...great food. vegetarian and not. Had an acorn squash (with tempeh) enchiladas with black beans and some sauce that brought it all together. Great soups....all homemade. Had a special, creamy tomato and brocoli soup that rocked. Lots of great choices. Great brunch foods too. Friendly staff. They are committed to local food when they can. They do not take credit cards...to keep paying their staff a living wage. They have an atm that has a 50 cent fee to help. Bring cash or check. They have a great selection of local beers in bottles. Keep the Kinston NC beers. They are great! I will beg my family to come with me here on every visit. 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

Very creative dishes for both meat and plant eaters. Loved the unique flavors and combinations. The Sweet potato enchilada was excellent. read more
