Such an amazing experience! Our server was very welcoming…read moreand interactive and funny. It was a bit busy so we expected a slight delay on drinks/food, but our server kept checking on us every few minutes and kept our drinks full. The atmosphere/design is very unique and offers great talking points for the table. You can look around and always find something new you haven't seen before. For food, I got the French dip, my husband got the fried catfish, and mom got the smash burger. Food was EXCELLENT. The au jus from the French dip was not overly salty as I've had in the past, and it was the perfect amount for the sandwich. Not like other places that will either give you a big tub of au jus or ever a small saucer cup. After lunch, we walked around as they have a shopping area inside with soaps, handmade pottery/kitchenware, and local vendor products such as hatch chile cream cheese and pickled vegetables. Price was very favorable too and didn't seem to be overly priced where the business/vendor up charges significantly to make a huge profit. Definitely worth stopping by even if you only have time for Togo coffee, a snack, of just to shop around!

They have a mix of local bulk foods (honey, jellies, jams, chocolates, candies, etc.), a cooler aisle (drinks, sauerkraut, etc.), and a sandwich deli in the back. Bathrooms are clean. Parking is plentiful. And there's no hurry in shopping. If you can't find something, they'll point you to three kinds of whatever you're asking for. You will always buy twice what you expected and eat some multiple of the candies you promised yourself you'd "save" on the way home. So save room in your trunk, people.

The only reason for a missing star is that this environment is not for everyone. It's terrific if you want to bring your children to a place where they can totally entertain themselves while you enjoy a lunch with friends. I was looking for a quiet place where I could relax. That was difficult with a little girl (even though she was precious and cute) screaming and riding a skateboard inside. I was glad that she and her little brother could just be themselves and have a great time, but that can be somewhat problematic for diners. Just be aware going in that if this isn't your style you may just want to get a take out.

We discovered this wonderful sandwich shop in Downtown Elkin - thanks to David wt the Yadkin valley…read moreChamber of Commerce. Kaye's opened in December and features deli style sandwiches. The Buckin' Elk is a turkey BLT with avacado, and whatever fixin's you want. We also had the Italian - salami and cheese, lettuce, tomato, whatever you want. Great! Serving sizes are ample - actually, two could share a sandwich. Limited sides - pasta salad, etc. Packaged chips. Service was quick and friendly. ** They use local lettuce, from Greenhouse Towers in State Road. They use a pesticide free, aeroponic tower garden system. They provide greens for Hugh Chatham Hospital and a number of area restaurants. We highly recommend Kaye's.

Odell's used to be so, so, so good and then for a while it went downhill. Wait times were insane,…read morethe food was lower quality and you could tell it just wasn't what it used to be. Then, this year happened. I wish I knew what happened, but Odell's is BACK! They have the same yummy food they were known for and the service is great! They are so friendly and prompt. We always joking called it "Slow-dells" because of how they would take 45 minutes to bring the food AFTER you called it in prior to driving there. Now, we pulled up and placed the order and it was out piping hot within 10 minutes. Absolutely amazing! I don't know what they changed, but they've cracked the code and I wish them all the success in the world! Our food: Mom got a cheeseburger basket, which was perfect! Husband and Dad got Big Moe baskets, again perfect. I got a hotdog (for old time's sake) and it was everything I remembered as a kid. So delicious and nostalgic. I also had a chicken tender basket and it was good. It wasn't the same chicken tenders and bbq sauce that it used to be, but like most places, that is hard to keep the exact same over the years, especially with varying food service providers and whatnot. If you previously had stopped going here, give them another chance. You'll be pleasantly surprised!

This is an oasis of food in a rural area. They offer online ordering, which I kind of wish I'd done…read morebecause it was crowded and there was a wait, but when you're driving the parkway down here, getting any kind of cell service is iffy. They have indoor and outdoor seating, both of which was full. Often times I walk into restaurants where I'm the only person who doesn't speak the language; here I was clearly the only non-Appalachian person in sight. They offered a veggie burger based on black beans, for which I got more beans as a side. The burger didn't hold together well and made a bit of a mess, but this was ultimately solvable. The accoutrements added to make a dynamic flavor, so I wasn't too disappointed. Their pinto beans came with onions and chow chow, which again elevated the flavor. I appreciated the opportunity to order an apple cider in season. The ability to get fresh and vegetarian-friendly food in this area is valuable. It's not fancy, but it is fresh.
