    Two egg breakfast with hash browns and bacon
    Sarah K.

    I first tried to visit on Monday but they were closed with no signs about closure, so I wasn't sure if it was for the holidays or the hours were messed up. This location is definitely a bit off the beaten path, and it's a very basic local joint. If you are looking for affordable options and okay portions, this is your place. My sole purpose in seeking this place out not once, but twice, was the chocolate gravy. I grew up eating chocolate gravy in rural Mississippi and it is so rare to see on the menu that it pushed this place to the top of the list. They were out of the chocolate gravy. I tried to order peanut butter pancakes, and they were out of that too. Finally I just tried to get a one egg breakfast with tenderloin but guess what...they were out of that too. I finally just asked for the chocolate chip pancake and given the option of city or country ham, went with city ham because I wasn't ready for that much sodium this early. The pancake was a great size, pretty thick, and came with a generous amount of chocolate chips. The ham tasted fine but flavor on my food was pretty basic. I will say the one thing that stood out a little was the hash browns - I don't quite know how they are prepping the hash browns but there was an almost potato chip crisp on the edges that was very nice. Soft drinks were served in 20 ounce bottles, so I'm not sure why they could not get a container of cocoa powder or peanut butter in...but that's none of my business. ‍ She said they had been missing a lot of the stuff they needed on their delivery truck. Service was pretty good, and they definitely connect with the locals.

    Solid breakfast with great prices, we were pleasantly fueled up before our hike. No fancy frills = no extra markup.

    This place gets a five for so many reasons…read more First thing is that everyone that works there is a true delight to speak with. I was staying at a hotel just down the street and our experience was so good, My son and I had breakfast two days in a row here. Not only was Sierra and the team of people working the breakfast counter sweeter than the homemade jam, they were also engaging friendly and so kind to my son and me. Let's talk about the food. The homemade bread, perfectly cooked eggs, homemade local sausage, fresh local breads from the bakery around the corner, which I believe was Stick Figure or something like that, and probably the best pancake I've had in years. If you love breakfast- and I do not... you are not to miss this place. I must say that this May has turned me into a breakfast lover. Just a note, you'll probably wait an hour for a table... But the breakfast counter and community table are towards the back Thank you all! Hope to see you soon

I just went shopping while waiting to get paged. There are lots of little stores to check out in the area. I waited less than 20 mins. Once seated we had the honey lemon ginger tea pot (absolutely recommend) and a latte. Food wise, we ordered the super sunny avocado toast (I opted for scrambled eggs), the stuffed French toast and Melanie's fruit waffle. Everything was beyond Delicious!! If I ever come down this way, this is where I'm having breakfast again. Great and lots of different options for everyone. Service was phenomenal!

    North Carolina is growing on me. Fresh crisp air, beautiful mountainous scenery, great hiking…read moreroutes and especially meticulous details in their cuisine. Proper is just that, a quaint and popular restaurant that features the chef's special select menu each day which means reservations are highly suggested. We were lucky enough to arrive right before peak dinner time and was able to score a spot to the front overlooking the chefs garden where ingredients are home grown. We started with their carrot and apple soup with coconut milk base. I know this is tmi but I'd be satisfied swimming in a pool of that delicious soup. Fresh, fresh and fresh. I decided on the baked catfish with olives, tomatoes and thyme together with green beans potato casserole and side salad while my partner enjoyed fried chicken breast with potatoes and gravy, steamed cabbage and cornbread. Very few can take a boneless fried chicken to taste like it's still on the bone. Excellently done. We then savored on their recommended dessert chocolate chip bread pudding with homemade ice cream. If you're in the neighborhood give this quaint little house a try you won't be disappointed.

It might have just been the holiday rush, but I always figure "busy means good," so my expectations were high--and The Local didn't disappoint.

We also ordered the Brazilian steak, which was cooked perfectly and came with great plantains. The quinoa with tofu was good, too, though it was a little dry and would have been perfect with a sauce. The service really stood out. Our waitress was incredibly attentive and refilled my water at least four times without me asking. Great ambiance and an all-around good experience.

    Social on Main is my husband's and my favorite place for breakfast while visiting Blowing Rock…read more They are even better than our now-closed old favorite, Sunny Rock Eggs & Things. On this last trip, we went twice. I got the Beth Ann Clark both times. I just love their cheesy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, fruit, and french toast. My husband tried two different entrees this time--the Butch Triplett (corned beef and eggs) and their breakfast burrito. Their corned beef is likely from a can, but it's so good because they cook it so it's very crispy. I always steal some of his corned beef to add to my eggs! Their breakfast burrito is amazing. It's simply filled, with just scrambled eggs, cheese, small bits of ham, and hash browns. It's topped with an enchilada sauce that is similar to a ranchero sauce, and is served with sour cream and guacamole. It's a massive burrito, and SO GOOD! My husband said it's his new favorite. Social on Main is popular, and so we always go early (before 8am). After 8am, there is usually a wait--especially on Saturdays. Their servers are always friendly, and the food is delivered fast. Their coffee is nice and strong, too. I wish we had a Social on Main near our house, because we'd visit them weekly. Give them a try if you are in Blowing Rock for a visit and want a great breakfast!

    Social on Main was the perfect way to start our weekend in the area…read more We drove into the area for breakfast and exploring and upon arrival the spot was packed. After looking at the menu and dining there I can see why. The portions are huge, and the pricing is so great. They also have a full bar including breakfast martinis - which I did not opt for but went with a bloody mary instead. It was huge and delicious. They have a lot of breakfast options, but when I saw corn beef hash I knew I had to try that. They have a bunch of different breakfast options and the one I ordered came with eggs, ham, hash browns and I can't remember what else but it was huge. If breakfast isn't your thing and you want lunch - you can choose from their lunch specials which are a main and three sides for under $14 - wowza that is literally crazy! It is a cozy, charming spot with friendly service and I would definitely recommend if you are in Blowing Rock.
