    Cobb salad was decent. The Ranch could have been better. Expected homemade from a small diner like this but definitely store bought.

    Nice homestyle dinners, it's a real nice break from fast food chains, to instead enjoy delicious food and a very friendly staff.

    Great price, great service, great food! Even though they are packed all the time, it doesn't affect the wait time, service, or anything.

Sarah Claire, the owner, was very attentive and had such a positive attitude. Lots of venues will charge you left and right for the use of their decorations or whatnot, but the Farm has a rule, that it the decoration was donated from a previous wedding, then you can use it at not charge! The Farm recommended our coordinator, Penny, who was fabulous! We couldn't have done it without her. Although she is a "day of" coordinator, she contacted us in the weeks before the wedding to make sure she had all the information as well as understanding EXACTLY what we wanted. I would highly recommend Penny. Jennifer was so, so great! She made our vision come to life with her decorating talents. She listened to exactly what we were looking for, and made the decorations happen. We had the most beautiful wedding thanks to her. We also used the Farm as our caterer. Victor, the cook, makes the most AMAZING pulled pork and bbq chicken and smoked Gouda mac n cheese. We are still getting compliments about the food. The venue itself is so unbelievably unique and beautiful. You absolutely cannot beat the location and the barn itself. You wont find anything like it. I would definitely consider this for your future wedding! You won't be disappointed!!

We requested a full vegan menu with 4 courses and passed appetizers during cocktail hour for 30 people. And wow did they deliver! I am having guests ask me for their recipes and some saying they would consider going vegan if all their meals tasted like this. Our main goal was to serve vegan food to meat eaters and have them not miss the meat. My husband and I could not be more pleased with the way the food turned out. It was a complete success. The service is unmatched. Judy took care of everything and helped with the details that I never would've thought of. I've never planned a wedding before, so it was SO helpful to have her ask more questions ahead of time in order to make sure everything went smoothly. I loved her communication, cheerfulness, and genuine love for what she does. Their serving staff was friendly, helpful, and had a sense of urgency when they were asked for anything. They were engaged in what they were doing and they seemed happy to be serving us. There isn't a thing I would change about the way Chef Michael's Catering handled our wedding reception. They truly contributed a large part to the happiest night of our lives and I'm so thankful I had the opportunity to work with them.

    I'm honestly shocked this place doesn't have higher reviews..The Sweet Onion is THAT good…read more I grew up in Waynesville, North Carolina and visited this summer for an anniversary trip, and this restaurant completely blew both my partner's and my expectations out of the water. We started with the okra (incredible) and a cucumber salad, and everything tasted SO fresh and local. For our entrées, we ordered the steak and the salmon pasta BOTH were absolutely phenomenal. There were so many things we wanted to try on the menu, and our server made the experience even better. They were honest, knowledgeable, and took the time to break down each dish, even down to the smallest ingredients, which really helped us decide. The vibe at The Sweet Onion is intimate and personal without feeling cramped or crowded. It's that perfect balance of casual and upscale! You could easily dress up for a date night or come in more relaxed for drinks and dinner. On top of that, the prices were extremely good for the quality of food and the level of service. I would 100% recommend this spot to both locals and visitors!!! I genuinely think about this place at least once a week, and if I still lived locally, I'd be dining here a few times a month without hesitation.

First, the location itself is really unique... years ago this was a Greyhound bus station! The whole asthetic was very unique, and beautifully refurbished. We did have to wait an hour for a table (make a reservation!), but it was comfortable and the staff were ALL very friendly! Once seated, our server Nicole was amazing! We were pretty much ready with our order after looking at the menu while waiting. My MIL and I both got the open faced roast beef sandwich, and both with garlic mashed potatoes. I also got a side salad (soooo good, the candy pecans and ranch, wow!), and she got the French onion soup. It looked great, I'll have to try it next time! My bread was slightly burnt on the edges, and while the au jus that comes with it was ok, we ordered some of the brown gravy (that comes with the meatloaf) and it elevated it so much! If the staff reed this, that would be a smart move! My wife got the 12oz ribeye, and she kindly gave me a few bites. OMG, one of the top 3 steaks I've ever had!!! We both don't like anything on our steaks, and the natural flavor was unbelievable! It was cooked perfectly! All in all, it was a great experience and we WILL be back next time we are in town!
