    We visited Yonder on a trip to Franklin back in the fall. First impressions: this is a really cute location, but somewhat small. However, because we came at a time slightly off their busiest times, we were seated quickly. Every single thing we ate was good. This is now my adult daughter's favorite place; she can't wait to go back! So, we will definitely be back Yonder!

    5 Stars - 5 Stars - 5 Stars Breakfast is what you order here, no matter what time of day you come in. First the grits, they are sweet, creamy and crunchy, yes, a bit crunchy. They are sourced from South Carolina (Anson Mills) & made with a special kind of corn that is then coarsely ground. Second, the biscuits, homemade and served with butter, honey or choice of many jams or jellies. Good conversations with the staff add to the experience.

    Holy Delish! Bring your appetite folks! There's not one bad bite to be had from my experience at this restaurant. I visited for a late breakfast with some friends post workout. I earned my calories and had every intention of digesting them. Erica was our server and she was in training. I only knew of this because her mentor shadowed her from time to time. She did a great job providing meal recommendations and appeared to be extremely knowledgeable of the menu. Two out of three us started with coffee and the other friend stuck with H20. All of us had a bowl and two of us enjoyed the Carlton. In addition to our main entrees, we shared an order of the pumpkin French toast. The Carlton bowl consists of: a scrumptious biscuit, eggs, bacon or sausage and grits. I opted for bacon and my eggs were prepared scrambled and well done. This bowl is hearty and warms the heart on a hungry morning. The French toast was equally as tasty and prepared to my liking, you know when you can see and taste the egg on the exterior of the bread. YUMMY! The presentation as well as the able decor was well done and I failed to mention an important tidbit; this restaurant serves organic food. In lieu of a check being placed on the table, patrons visit the cashier post meal to settle their tab. Finally, this establishment has a gender friendly restroom. I highly recommend you visit Yonder if you find yourself in Franklin, NC or anywhere in the vicinity for that matter. Your taste buds will thank you.

    This is my new favorite breakfast and brunch spot in the Nantahala region. Amazing homespun atmosphere, attentive and genuinely friendly service, and the food...the food is out of this world! I'll elaborate more later...still eating. And the mimosa is so good!

    Yonder Market is small family-owned business that ROCKS! What great offerings from western NC and beyond! We bought about 15 jars of homemade Tomato Jam made in Waynesville as gifts. I also bought a mini espresso chocolate bar from Brooklyn NY. SERIOUSLY, if you are just shopping for groceries in Franklin NC or looking for a food gift from the mountains, this is your place!

    I've never had steak and eggs this amazing! Every single aspect was beyond perfect!

    Organic, locally sourced food promises perfection every time! I travel a lot, one of my favorite things to do when on the road is experience unique culinary mastery. Needless to say I was BEYOND elated when Yonder opened in my own town! Initially I was hopeful (at best) but after the first meal I knew this was definitely the place for me! I've been a regular at this establishment since the first week they've been open (sometimes many days a week!), every single meal has been consistently PERFECT! If you love great food, local organic food AND you're hungry, you're guaranteed to leave Yonder satisfied... It's not fast food, it's REAL food!

    Great unique place for breakfast in the mountains of NC! Don't miss out by going to a chain restaurant down the street. You can tell they care about food. And it shows in every bite :)

    This review is to clarify, this old piece of menu scrap was served partially imbedded into the grits on the plate of food and the photo shows where it became soaked along the side and corner. The original review was 3 Years ago and it said scraps, but it may have just been this one scrap that was touching the grits. I apologize for any confusion I caused.

    Yonder is consistently excellent. It's unusual to have such a consistently good experience anywhere, let alone in a small rural town. I've eaten here regularly since they opened several years ago and the food is always delightful & well prepared - with attention to presentation. Staff always very warm and welcoming. It's a tiny venue, but worth the wait.

    Yum! Every last bit was delicious: old-fashioned grits, thick smoked bacon, homemade pickled onions. I didn't take a picture before we ate, but when we were done, we noticed these cute little cards on our plates :)

    One of THE best breakfasts I have ever had the pleasure of having. From the time you come in until the time you leave, the experience is great. Privately owned with very pleasant staff, it is a farm to table establishment and everything tastes great! They have limited hours, which, I think helps them keep their high standards and quality. The prices are a tad higher than some greasy spoon, but well, well worth it. We can't wait to go back and try something different on the menu!

    The best breakfast I have had in a long time.

    Hannah and Alan have started a great thing here. We ordered the grits bowl and steak and eggs. The steak was super fresh and delicious. The eggs just came in from the farm this morning. The grits bowl was also delicious especially with the fresh greens in it. And please don't let me forget the BlackBerry butter on the fresh homemade biscuit, it was amazing! This is no cheap breakfast, but the quality and craftsmanship is well worth it.

    If you are looking for non chain farm to table goodness... this is the place for you! We've been wanting to try this place since we saw it on Wandernorthgeorgias Instagram post! It's delicious and you don't leave with that heavy ate to much feeling! We will be back! Now if Baldwin/Cornelia, Ga would get some places like this we wouldn't have to travel so far for good eats!!

They even had a lot of very nice selections of vegan friendly convenience foods. I did purchase the non dairy whipped cream, 2 different vegan ready burgers and a bag of vegan meatballs. I would like to see a brand of non dairy yogurt as I didn't see any, but maybe there was. The lines were going fairly smoothly and I had all my groceries separated already in their reusable grocery bags ( which as a grand opening gift, you receive 2). The cashier was very apprehensive that I had just placed the bags full on the conveyor belt instead of dumping all the items. I always have an extra bag empty and ready to begin the bagging process on the end but she was anxious. I thought it went well and she did a good job but she asked me to next time take all the items out and place them on the conveyor belt! Honestly, I am hoping the store video will show her how smoothly that went because at a bag it yourself grocery and even a regular grocery store it goes so much smoother. That's my only concern. Great store, good prices and good service. Maybe add 2-3 lanes of checkers for those of us who bulk shop and live a distance away. As I am thinking about the shopping cart, you need a quarter to activate it. And there are many self checkouts as opposed to the one checker. Guessing they really would prefer small amounts to be purchased and not large orders.

    I went to this place when it first opened and never came back unit now. The atmosphere and energy…read morewas not good. The people looked like they didn't want to be there. Nobody smiling and lifeless. I drive by this place about 4 time a day and I absolutely refused to do business here from this experience. After many years, I gave this place another try. To my surprise it was a night and day difference from the first time I walked through the doors. A young lady at the entrance greeting you with a some samples and a big smile. Walked passed the bakery section and heard a very loud "how are you doing today". I almost passed out from someone actually speaking to me. I was in shock. This isn't the same place I visited when it first opened. I look around and see employees smiling and wanting to be there. In the distance I heard laughing coming from the deli and meat department. When I walked up, I was immediately greeted with a smile and asked if I needed any help. They were still in tears laughing by the way which was a nice feeling. So in a nut shell, this is what I think about Sprouts now. Great selection of products. The people are very nice. The Manager's Specials they have are amazing. I saw they had Rotisserie chicken for $.99 and some ham at the deli for $.50/lb. I'm a customer for life now and when I'm done shopping I go next door to Kairo's for a bite to eat.
