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.

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!

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.

These additions make the Barking Coyote more of a destination to eat at instead of just a "grab and go" place. Both inside and outside seating seemed to provide a serene setting .

Came here with friends on a Saturday day trip to Elkin from Winston-Salem. They were here for the…read moreBBQ and I was here for the hot dog (and kinda the BBQ). When we were arrived we were the only folks there and we had our choice of seating. There isn't tons of seating inside, maybe room for 50 total. We took a seat in the smaller room on the left. The server came quickly to drop off menus and get drink orders. Maybe not completely necessary to mention, but their sweet tea here is good and not overly sweet. The menu is a little more diverse than you'd expect at a BBQ place. Lots of good options. We ordered buffalo chips with ranch to start. They arrived hot and crispy. These were probably my favorite part of the meal. I ordered a hot dog with the special side of the day (buttered corn) and was sharing a 1/4 rack of ribs and mac and cheese with friends. The server had to make sure they had ribs ready. They did. The food for the table came out and my hot dog and corn was dropped off. The ribs were "on their way." A group of 11 came in and the servers started to focus on them. The hot dog was good. A classic NC red dog that had a little crinkle/wrinkle to it which I like to see cause I know they are well-cooked. Toppings were ok. Seemed like they were stingy with the chili (see pic for evidence). The corn was bad - barely warm, watering, and lacked flavor. We had finished our meal and the ribs hadn't come out of the kitchen. We waited and waited. Eventually catching the server's attention. The kitchen hadn't seen the ribs on the ticket. They apologized, took it off the bill, and would get it to us quickly. The rib plate came out. I was going to ask for one of their signature sauces but the plate was dropped and the server headed away quickly. Ribs were great - well smoked and tasty. Definitely would have loved to try their sauces. The mac and cheese was mediocre. barely warm and you guessed it, lacked flavor. Some highs and lows from Wood Box but I'd probably go back and try some of their other items.

We were traveling through Elkin and while The Yellow Door Cafe had almost no presence on Yelp we did see many positive reviews in Google and decided this was a great opportunity to add to the Yelp community. We arrived close to noon and were greeted immediately upon walking in. The building appears to be a converted home and is cozy and well kept. We noticed almost immediately there was a connection to Angry Troll Brewing which is another local business in Elkin that we are fans of. The signage for Yellow Door also states they are affiliated with Liberty Catering. We were placed at a small table and provided menus along with a short menu with featured their daily specials. Our server was friendly and helpful in telling us more about their business and making recommendations. My wife decided on the chef salad while I chose the chicken cordon bleu sandwich with fries. Our food arrived a short time later and looked delicious. In addition, the place started to really fill up. There were several tables seated while we enjoyed our meal. My wife really enjoyed her salad but it could have been bigger, she would have loved the option of ordering a larger size for more money. The ingredients were fresh and delicious. I thought the Chicken Cordon Bleu sandwich was also delicious. The fried chicken was very crunchy. I got the garlic aioli on the side but thought it was yummy and kept dipping my sandwich in it. My wife noted the restroom was clean and well appointed as well. The prices were reasonable and we really enjoyed our meals. This is an excellent stop while in Elkin and near the historic downtown area.

TYD serves brunch and a great selection of sandwiches at reasonable prices. Our party of four for lunch today started with their Pimento Cheese appetizer (available hot or cold). It comes with an amply supply of crispy, house made pita chips. We ordered ours hot. It was creamy with just a little kick. NOT oily like a lot of heated pimento cheese. The Reuben had a healthy serving of corned beef, just the right amount of kraut, and a creamy, Swiss cheese, and sweet Thousand Islands. Rue Bread was grilled just right. The BLT on toasted Sourdough bread was piled high with bacon, fresh tomatoes, and crispy lettuce. With mayo. Bacon was a thick slice, cooked perfectly. The French Dip on Ciabatta bread. Thinly sliced roast beef, with caramelized onions.and Swiss cheese was very good. The dip was ok. Could have a little more kick. Muffuletta sandwich (turkey, ham, olive tapenade, Swiss cheese, and a goat cheese spread) was delicious. They offer fries, sweet potato fries, potato salad, and a pasta salad as sides. Fries were crispy and tasty. Sandwiches are offered on breads appropriate for each sandwich, but you are free to choose other breads. TYD also offers a burger, chicken, chicken salad, and egg salad sandwich. There is a small bar menu and local craft beer available. We highly recommend the Yellow Door Cafe.

(enough history, what about the food....) Today's special was Country style steak, which was very tender, and tasted good. Mashed potatoes and pintos, with a huge piece of cornbread was a very good choice. Ice tea tasted just right. Cheeseburger was definitely not a frozen, pre-formed patty.
