As a vegetarian I am highly impressed by the different options and creative spins on the classic sandwich/wrap! Today my wait was a bit long but that first bite made the wait completely worth it. I'm not saying that lightly either, I truly mean it. Each sandwich is hand crafted with care, each recipe has been developed with perfection in mind, and each bite is full of amazing flavor. It's clear someone with a lot of passion and respect for food is running this place! Limbertwig Cafe is a little hidden gem in downtown Morganton and I wish every town had one!

Limbertwig Cafe is located in downtown Morganton, near the Historic Burke County Courthouse. It is…read moreopen 6 days a week for lunch, offering both inside and outside seating on the sidewalk. There is local artwork displayed on the walls as you enter. You place your order directly at the counter, take a number, and your food is brought out to your table when it is ready. The menu is quite large, and it took a bit of time to decide on my order, but I ultimately went with a combo including a half ham wrap, a drink, and a side of pasta salad. The cashier was very good about openly telling everyone in line about price differences from the printed menu before ordering. Because the kitchen was experiencing a significant delay, it seemed like they quietly upgraded me to a whole wrap as a nice peace offering! It came cut into two parts, with one part wrapped neatly in foil. Personally, I really wish they offered a "build your own" option where you could just choose your own specific bread, meat, cheese, and toppings, rather than having to hunt through the large preset menu options to find a combination where you like everything. I was really surprised by how incredibly small the side portion of pasta salad was--about the size of a standard salad dressing container! I've honestly never seen a side dish served that small before, so I posted a photo of the two side by side to show the exact comparison. Next time, I would skip the combo entirely and just order the sandwich on its own. The ham wrap itself was really good, and the small bite of pasta salad was very tasty. However, it did take quite a bit longer than it should have for the food to leave the kitchen, so this slow wait time could definitely be an issue for someone on a tight lunch schedule.

It's literally at a campground- and it's a CAFETERIA. It's not a fine dining restaurant- or even a restaurant really... sigh. Anyways, If you want some food that's not Wendy's or Hardee's and you're traveling across here, it's worth a visit. The staff is super friendly. I was traveling up to the Mt Mitchell golf course area and stopped by here for lunch. We got a burger, chicken and fries and a drink. It's simple but it gave us food to eat and I wanted to try this place out. It's a cafeteria style cafe where you go up to the counter to order your food. It's not too expensive, and the food quality is average. It's not disgusting but nothing to write home about. It's just a solid place to find some food on the go that's not your typical fast food joint. They gave me treats for my dog :) And yes they let me and my dog hang out inside, disgusting right?

1/2 Review: The Allard Bakery and Bistro…read more We stopped in for a late lunch and were immediately greeted and seated, always a great first impression. Our table setup included two chairs and a couch. While comfortable, the couch sat noticeably lower than the tabletop, making it a bit awkward for dining. This was the only minor knock during our visit. Service, however, was outstanding. Our server, Austin, was kind, engaging, and genuinely attentive to our needs. The pacing was spot-on and the hospitality felt effortless and warm. Now for the food. We ordered the Farm Burger featuring Kobe beef, an over-easy egg, bourbon pork belly, pepper jack cheese, caramelized onions, and baby mixed greens. It arrived beautifully plated and cooked exactly as ordered. We upgraded to the truffle fries, which were absolutely worth it. Crispy, flavorful, and indulgent without being over the top. We also enjoyed the seasonal roasted beet salad, a refreshing and well-balanced dish with strawberries, roasted candied pecans, and a variety of beets that played together nicely in both flavor and texture. Pricing felt appropriate for the quality of ingredients, thoughtful plating, and excellent flavors coming out of the kitchen. All in all, a fantastic experience with just a small seating hiccup keeping it from a full five stars. A return visit is definitely planned.

The atmosphere is elegant yet welcoming, with a modern meets classic charm that sets the tone for a thoughtful dining experience. I had my eye on the shrimp gnocchi, which several reviewers rave about, but unfortunately it was unavailable that day. We started with side Caesars which was fresh and crisp, though fairly standard. I ordered the Jadore Chicken Garden Salad and asked if I could substitute grilled chicken for crispy, but was told no. Oddly, when the salad arrived, it had grilled chicken after all. It was good, just not particularly memorable. My husband had the steak and eggs, which he said were cooked perfectly. Again, solid execution, but nothing that stood out. That said, the overall quality of the main courses was very good. Looking over the dinner menu, we are eager to come back in the evening. The real magic happened at dessert. We overheard a staff member mention that one of the women behind the counter makes many of the desserts herself, and she may be from Italy. Our server couldn't stop praising her crème brûlée and key lime tart, so we had to try both. The crème brûlée was smooth and flavorful, though a bit softer than I prefer. But the key lime tart? Absolutely phenomenal. My husband, a Tampa native and self-proclaimed key lime aficionado, broke his keto diet for it--and declared it one of the best he's ever had. I don't usually like key lime, but even I was impressed. Tangy, creamy, and perfectly balanced--it's a must-try if you're anywhere near Hudson. Service was friendly, and while there were a few small hiccups, the warmth and pride the staff take in their food really shines through. We'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu, and to get another slice of that unforgettable tart.

The coleslaw was homemade and fresh, had a great taste and how I like. Rueben dog was much larger than expected, yummy kraut and just enough cheese, the bun was just right. Mac n cheese was great also. The brisket sandwich was large and a generous amount of meat with a good Smokey flavor. No fountain drinks, have can drinks, bottled water and can sparkling water, ( do not see that very often and is a good surprise if you prefer something other a soda or water). Looking forward to trying other items on their menu.

The waitress who greeted us was over the top friendly and welcoming - my granddaughter took to her immediately, which is rare for her - and she had a wonderful time running and playing while we waited for our food. And the food?!! Ah-MAZ-ing! I wasn't familiar with some of the sauces, so she made a point to give us some of all that they carry - and wow, just WOW! The barbeque was moist and tender, and the cole slaw was equally fabulous - not to sweet, but just enough to be the perfect offset for the barbeque (particularly when using the spicy - it was beyond perfect!) Can't wait to visit again next year! 10/10!
