    Veganista
    John B.

    A lot of the brunch places which open early were already full, but when I popped into this place around 11, it was not (yet). They had a patio and an indoor area, which were not all that different in temperature, but notably the patio allows dogs. The menu here offers ample options for all diets. I still felt a bit lame ordering a salad called the "Veganista", but when it came I took one look at it and thought "that is what food is supposed to look like". The greens tasted fresh, and my overflowing plate included fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, some tempeh, and a couple of slices of spiced avocado toast. If there are any food groups not represented there, it's probably not something you should be eating. It all mixed together rather delightfully and made for a good start of the day. You certainly don't have to be vegan to eat here, but if you are and you want to eat somewhere where your non-vegan friends will be looking longingly at your plate, this is the place.

    Tomato soup and grilled cheese

    $16 for a half cup of tomato soup/grilled cheese is a robbery, respectfully. Staff is really nice though.

    Curry

    This place is great! The Garam Masala Yellow Curry was absolutely fantastic--rich, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. The burgers were also delicious! On top of that, the service was friendly and attentive. If you're in Boone, this spot needs to be on your list!

    Watauga Burger- cooked perfectly and flavorful! Jalepeno, ginger, and cilantro margarita tasted and smelled fantastic! There was a bit of a wait, but the beautiful and patient bartender ( Manager or Owner?) allowed us to sit at a hightop table and serve us there. All 4 of us loved our meal, drinks & service! Highly recommend!

    From Patio

    We wanted healthy and colorful, and we got it! Wonderful lunch patio with dog after morning hike. Had Souper Special and Santa Fe salad. Great vibe and service!

    Food quality / price (value) rating 10. The atmosphere is eclectic, and they have a wonderful outdoor seating area. The menu is a wide ranging mix of extraordinarily well chosen dishes, all of which have unique twists you won't find anywhere else! I had the Grilled Cheese Extraordinaire with bacon that came on a perfectly grilled locally baked bread. It was quite likely the nest grilled cheese I've ever had. A cup of spicy homemade sweet potato corn chowder came with it, and was a perfect accent to go with the grilled cheese. They have a full bar and a wide variety of canned and bottled beers. Their specialty cocktails include several unique and original recipes, including a special method that freezes water at the bottom of the cocktail glass where it remains while you drink your cocktail - very clever and original. We finished our meal with a couple of house made blueberry sugar cookies that were fantastic! The manager, Carrie, was very attentive answering our questions and informative regarding the food and its preparation and local sourcing. Our server, Kacya, was also attentive with the service we were given. The prices were right, and the portions were generous. This restaurant deserves a rare rave review.

    I feel bad giving this really cute restaurant 3 stars. but the problem is the food! The restaurant is so cute and I think the menu is great. I love how there are so many healthy options. They also have a beautiful porch. I can see why people like it here! However, I think the food is really low effort compared to the price. The chips we got were *actually* just cold Tostitos chips straight from the bag. I was actually shocked lol. I would at least buy restaurant style chips. Or even warm them up! The entrees were fine but not good enough to fix my opinion. Also, the desserts come from the freezer (they bought them from a bakery and froze them). And that's totally fine! I just didn't get that impression from the menu.

    Watagua burger and salad

    Staff, food and drinks amazing. Quick service over all and no complaints on anything! Wait time was no time on a Saturday after 1.

    This sums up the attitude. Am I a customer or a visitor to your basement bar.  " Bad Bi*#ches run this s*#t". Are you kidding me ?

    This place has great reviews from people in town - that's where it ends. We were treated like a visitor to the employees bar. Not great service or attention. Also you'll need a nose piercing or two to fit in.

    This was our first time ever eating here after seeing it online. I am sodium restricted and like to…read moreeat healthy in general, as anti-inflammatory as possible. This restaurant makes it possible.. I was told that they not add any salt to any of their items except to the vegetables and you can request it no salt and season it yourself. I had the create-your-own-bowl with the quinoa, kale and shredded beef, and it was so good. My husband had the turkey burned ends flatbread and his was equally good, I will order it next time. The ambience is nice, service is outstanding. I highly recommend. This was my birthday lunch and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

    I enjoy the food here from time to time. We used to order batches of their packaged frozen meals…read moreregularly. My favorite item on their menu is the ¨build your own¨ bowl. I think this place is worth a try if you are looking for a healthy lunch in Boone. The counter service at Clean Eatz used to be excellent, friendly, and helpful. Everyone here used to be on top of things. It has gone downhill recently. On my last visit, the person taking our order was distracted, inattentive, and not particularly helpful- seemingly more focused on flirting with the guy in line in front of us than paying any attention to other customers. I went to the counter after our meal to order more food to go and to get a to-go box. I was the first person in line. I was ignored by the fellow at the counter, who instead waited on two other people who came in after me and who were clearly behind me in line. This place caters to the gym crowd. It seems maybe the gym crowd are the only customers they want. There are two significantly better restaurants in the same shopping complex. Try MINT Indian and STICK BOY Kitchen for friendly service and delicious food as well.

    I wish I could give more stars…read more We were in town for our son's track meet which happened to fall on my husband's birthday. We wanted a nice place to eat that was casual because we were in track clothes. Everyone was super friendly, from the call about my reservation to the hostesses who greeted us and especially, Ethan, our server. I'm the kind of person who looks at the menu online before I go anywhere and already have in mind what I want. Shrimp burger. Need I say more? I had mine without the tomato and onion. Think crab cake but with shrimp. I assumed (and we know what that gets you) the shrimp would be minced and unrecognizable. Nope! There were like whole shrimp in this "burger"! The flavor was amazing. I think the lemon aioli added such a richness. I tried not to eat all of the amazing fries but the fries won. A complimentary shot of bourbon with peach schnapps was a kind gesture for the Birthday Boy. Can't wait to go back!

    Great, interesting food. Good service. Awesome ambiance…read more Started with roasted carrots. 10/10 - delicious. Colorful roasted carrots on a bed of whipped feta with fried crispy chickpeas and chopped pistachio. Lots of flavor! Husband had smash burger. Wished it was more well done, but said it was delicious. I had smoked rib sandwich with gluten free bun. The bun was GREAT for being gf. Not crumbly like others. Flavors were phenomenal. Will be back and already recommending to friends.
