    Funny sign

    We came here on our way to go canoeing, came with my extended family. At first, it took us a while to get in, but when we did, it was amazing. The food was very filling, especially the waffles and omelettes. The interior was awesome, there's a ton of funny signs, drawings, and many other fun things. We had a great time.

    Went here to enjoy a nice home-cooked style breakfast, was disappointed. The eggs were undercooked, the biscuits tasted canned and not cooked all the way, still tasted dough. The gravy was bland and again, tasted like it was from a can. The bacon was good (it's bacon, never had any bad before) the pancake was overdone. On top of that I looked at their website to see prices. Said 4.95, it was 8.95. I'm sorry but $55 (left $5) tip for 4 people to have breakfast and a drink it's ridiculous, then to have it taste bad. Will not return

    SO GOOD! Best breakfast food around. We go every morning we're in or around West Jefferson. The staff and food are great. You can beat the prices either. The old timer breakfast is the way to go. You get a little bit of everything.

    This is a super cute place! The decor is amazing! I was extremely impressed by the service of every single worker in this establishment. They were always helping each other out, getting food out quickly, cleaning off tables quickly, and checking on every single patron there. The other customers were also super sweet as one gentleman moved tables so that our larger party could have a place to sit. The food was extremely fresh! Every single item was great! There are so many more dishes that I can't wait to try out when I come back to this place. If you are visiting West Jefferson North Carolina, you have to go visit this place for breakfast or for lunch!

    If you are looking for a great country breakfast, this is the place. Anytime we are in area hiking, we try to swing by to grab some breakfast. Had 2 eggs over medium, 2 sausage patties that are a little spicy and I like that. Two huge biscuits and gravy. Gravy tastes homemade and not from some mix. Service was great and the value you get here is crazy. Love this place.

    We love this place!! We ate here every day we were in West Jefferson. It's great because we woke up as we felt like it and never missed breakfast; they serve it all day! I love their grits, and the omelet was delicious. But the best part about the place is the people. Not only is the wait staff the best, our server always remembered I wanted decaf as soon as I walked in. The patrons are equally delightful! One man spoke to another about his breakfast order, then overheard his wife had recently been in the hospital and came over to make sure she was alright. The atmosphere has all the charm of a true small mountain town. Our service was very fast despite the crowd but the staff never seemed rushed. We plan to eat here every time we're in West Jefferson. It's the homiest place we've ever been and we won't forget it!!

    Totally turned off that it was not clearly visible on the menu that there is a difference for cash vs credit.

    I really wanted to love this place but it was truly just okay. Was totally put off that the charges vary for cash versus credit. The fact that I work for a financial institution makes me rethink the logic but I digress. Breakfast was simply just okay.

We have a vacation home in the area and we've been waiting for the restaurant and bar to open. Our first visit gave us a sense that the owners and exec chef are looking to give visitors of the quaint corner of Ashe County a unique experience. A small menu (3-4 appetizers or first course; 5-6 dinner plates or second) but are packed with flavor punch: Elk steak, pork loins, ribeye (to be expected meat dishes but with a big city twist) with Polenta and risotto which is often a tough sell or precarious to cook. So good. Respectable wine list and full bar. If you are bougie... come to OH for big city meal and lovely environment; If your are country, come here for a very special experience without family or partner without the big city drama! And dessert... the s'more's or strawberry with rhubarb shortcake ---nummy! After dinner, take a stroll down main street. The lights in the trees, moutains, and old cars cruising by.. it's like the old days!

If asked, he'd say customers like me make him this way. I think it's in his soul! (Grin). Seriously, though, Cam and the rest of the staff make me feel at home here. Great little local haunt, and open late (for the mountains!). Maybe it's the crazy???!

    We've visited this restaurant twice in the last month. If we were rating the food alone, it's a…read moresolid four stars--maybe even five for simple, well-done bar food. Unfortunately, the service brings our overall rating down to three stars. After our first visit, we thought the rudeness we encountered might have just been a fluke, so we gave it another try about four weeks later. Sadly, it wasn't. Both times, the hostess seemed visibly annoyed to seat us, as if helping customers was a burden. On our second visit, we didn't even bother with a table--we sat at the bar. Unfortunately, the servers on both occasions carried the same attitude, acting as though serving us was an inconvenience. The worst moment came when my wife asked the bartender a simple question: which sauce he preferred between two options. He actually laughed in her face, rolled his eyes, and replied with a snarky tone, "We make one in-house and the other is store-bought." She had to call him out by saying, "What's so funny? I don't work here, how would I know that?" Only then did his attitude shift, and while he became friendlier afterward, the first impression was already made. It's a shame, because the food is genuinely good. On our first visit, we had an Italian sandwich, a burger, and some boneless wings--all excellent. On our second visit, we liked the wings so much that we each ordered them again, trying several flavors. The only miss were the pub chips--nothing special there. Overall, if you're willing to risk unfriendly service, the food is worth trying. Maybe you'll catch the staff on a better day. To those about to dine--good luck!

After looking over the menu online beforehand, we were excited to give it a try. We were seated right away, but then waited over five minutes before anyone acknowledged our table. Our server, AJ (Adrianne, I believe), was friendly enough, but she seemed a bit overwhelmed or possibly stretched too thin. Since we'd already been waiting, we were ready to order both drinks and our meals at the same time, and that seemed to throw off the usual routine. Throughout the meal, it felt like we were inconveniencing her whenever we needed something, including asking if the music could be turned down. The food was the highlight. I had the biscuits with pimento cheese and fried green tomatoes, and the pimento cheese was exactly how I like it. My husband's tuna sandwich was good, although he wasn't a fan of the house fries--they were extremely thick, almost like eating a baked potato cut into wedges. We also ordered half sweet/half unsweet tea, but it was still much sweeter than we expected. The dining room itself felt a little plain for such a large space, and the 60s and 70s music was louder than we would have liked during lunch. Overall, the food was definitely the best part of our visit, and I'd order my meal again. With a little more attentive service and a more comfortable dining atmosphere, this could have been a much better experience.
