    Lunch menu
    Heather M.

    We loved our burgers and sweet potato fries. I just wish the burger had been larger. It was small for the size of the bun (which was not a large bun). We had a great seat in the window, and enjoyed some craft beers. They don't have an extensive beer selection, but we found some beers we enjoyed. Service was great. The restaurant isn't fancy, but we enjoyed our meal.

    Shrimp Tacos
    Jacquelyn A.

    I had the shrimp tacos per our server's (Windy according to the receipt) recommendation. They were so good. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and all of the fixings went well with the shrimp. My husband had the ribs, and they were fall off the bone excellent. We also had some wings for an appetizer and they were the best wings I've had in recent history- not overly breaded, not drowning in sauce, and the perfect level of crisp. Service was excellent- our server was friendly, attentive, and all around great. We will be back!

    The last time I had been to The Lost Wombat was when they held their soft opening, they only offered wings and burgers. I remember really enjoying the wings so when I had some time to spare I decided to pop In and see what it was like full swing. For my drink I had the Wonky Wombat cocktail, it was sooooo fruity. I don't like the taste of alcohol to be too strong in my drinks and this tasted just like pineapple juice, for me it was a 10/10. For the appetizer, I ordered the pretzel sticks w/ beer cheese, they came out piping hot! These were very good and the cheese serving was huge! For the main course I had a breakie burger which was superrr filling, I could only eat half of it before feeling full (don't worry I took the rest home!). My house salad I had a few issues with, mainly the ratio of the entire thing. There was far too much cheese compared to the amount of greens and the croutons weren't crispy but soggy. My friend had a medium well steak w/ a Caesar salad and had the same issue with the croutons. The steak was cooked to perfection, though!! The service was very quick and our waitress was welcoming and friendly, she checked up on us frequently. I am so glad that this place has opened up, and if I had kids I'd bring them here so they could run around in the little play area. It's in a perfect location too, you can have dinner and then hit the movies right next door!

    Trash can Nachos

    Stopped in here on Friday night during Merlefest. Cute venue downtown. Hostess seated is immediately at a table for two. Waitress quickly brought us waters and asked if we wanted lemon (yes, please!). Husband ordered the Breakie burger which he said was basically "a whole breakfast on a burger". He loved and the side of crinkle fries. I ordered the trash can nachos with chicken. It was fun to watch her dump the nachos on my plate. They left off the black olives as I requested. The jalapeños were fresh, not jarred. There was a good amount of grilled chicken on it as well as plenty of cheese and pico. Sour cream served on the side. It was so nice to take a break from the festival at this cozy spot. Look forward to visiting again.

    Vegemite sandwich

    This place is very unique and the food was really good. This is the only "Australian"restaurant in the state that I am aware of and once we realized it was "Australia day" we had to stop in. It was really fun trying vegemite and kangaroo meat. Although we came in the dead of winter it looks like they have quite a fun outdoor scene for the warmer months. We live in Winston Salem and stopped on our way back from winterfest in blowing rock but as frequent visitors of west Jefferson we will definitely make this a regular stop on our way back from the mountains!

    So this is a neat little spot in downtown North Wilkes. The outdoor area was super inviting and the weather today was great for dining outside. The interior was neat but a little small. Our party of four was greeted and sat promptly, our waiter was very friendly. Unfortunately, there were multiple mistakes within our orders that left us feeling a little frustrated. An Aussie burger was ordered, a Brekkie burger was served- a side of tots ordered and forgotten, arrived much later than the rest of the meal- our tab had two random drinks that we didn't order added on but were removed once pointed out. I checked in on the Yelp app and was pleasantly surprised to see a free cookie offer pop up, I showed it to our waiter who stated he'd never seen that before and he'd have to ask his manager. We waited.. and waited.. and there was no more mention of it. That being said, the chicken wings were delicious! Pub chips were yummy and the ranch paired nicely. I feel like this is one of those places that has so much potential and I hope they rise to it. It'll be a little while before we return but hopefully our next visit will be much better.

I walked in to a packed restaurant with a line almost out the door. The young lady at the counter tells me before I order there is a 30-40 minute wait on the food and while that sounds ridiculous, I drove all the way from Asheboro for one of their burgers because I already know it's worth the wait. No problem! The place is right off the main road and there's plenty of parking with additional parking in the rear. The inside appearance is that of a burger joint. Not too fancy but clean. I ordered the Jr. Cheeseburger with extra cheese, pickles, lettuce, tomato, mustard and mayo, a Hot Dog all the way, Seasoned fries and a Sweet Tea. Their burgers are served hot and are cooked until the edges are "lacy" and crispy with just the right amount of seasoning. They use potato buns and they and are so fresh and grilled on one side which gives the burger additional good flavor. The fries are cooked perfectly, served hot and lightly seasoned. And you can get some of their homemade ranch to dip them in. I know they are known for their burgers but they also have AWESOME Hot Dogs! The weiner is grilled and again, the bun is grilled on one side, just makes your tongue all kind of happy. I ordered my hot dog "All the Way" aka "Carolina Style". The chili was good, the white slaw was fresh and light, onions added a hint of sweetness, and the mustard ties all of the flavors together in a well made, high quality hot dog. They also have really good sweet tea. Nicks has the BEST burgers and hot dogs in the Triangle area and I highly recommend but get there as soon as they open or you may find yourself waiting in line. But do go.

The melted cheese was dripping over the sides, the bun was soft and fresh, and every bite just kept getting better. The fries deserved their own round of applause. Crispy, perfectly seasoned, and so addictive I kept telling myself, "Just one more"... about 30 fries ago. I don't know what kind of magic they're working back there, but they absolutely nailed it. This wasn't one of those burgers you eat because you're hungry--this was the kind you eat in complete silence because you're too busy enjoying every bite. On top of the amazing food, the service was just as impressive. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made the whole experience even better. They also have covered outdoor picnic tables with fans running overhead, which was a really nice touch. It made sitting outside comfortable even on a warm day and gave the place a relaxed, laid-back atmosphere. Safe to say this place has officially ruined mediocre burgers for me. I'll definitely be back... and next time I might need two orders of fries because sharing isn't going to happen.

    Come Back Shack is a fast food restaurant. But it is different than what you think of fast food…read more The original Boone location has a drive-thru and both indoor and outdoor seating. My burger was delicious and above and beyond any fast-food burger I have had before, at comparable prices. They serve grass-fed beef, chuck, round and sirloin. It is fresh, not frozen, and the meats are without hormones. My portion of fries was large, and I couldn't finish them. A smaller portion option would have been nice. I found the setup here confusing, as I wasn't sure where to enter from the parking lot, and then I wasn't sure where to order. Ordering is done at the kiosk or via a QR code. So expect a wait for the kiosk. I use kiosks and apps often, but this particular system was not smooth. I found the kiosk not as easy to use as it should have been; after I selected what I wanted, there was no way to get to the next screen to check out. I went with the build-your-own and was also disappointed that tomatoes weren't an option to add to the burger, but maybe they were out. They are a cashless business. When your order is ready, it is placed on a front cart, while drinks and sauces are self-serve. If I return, I will likely stick to the drive-thru, as that seems to be a much smoother ordering experience. Having a real person take your order and hand you everything you need at the window beats fighting with the kiosk inside.

This was the spot! I got a double cheeseburger and it was cooked perfectly medium rare. Just enough pink without being 'undercooked'. It was delicious. I also got a hot dog, a Carolina dog it was called. The coleslaw on top was crispy and delicious! The other ingredients on it were perfectly portioned so nothing overpowered the hotdog at all; everything on it complimented the dog so very well. My wife got a Cuban burrito and absolutely loved it! Our party got some other hotdogs and burgers; all happy campers! Along with the burritos they brought chips; which tasted homemade. They were crispy and fresh. Now this place is know for bringing some heat on their offerings; and we did not order anything hot or spicy like that. Maybe next time! Other than that - this place was a treat. For seven of us the tab was under 100$ - which lately - that is a bargain. (For comparison when we were on the road - we stopped at a WaffleHouse which brought the tab to $104; and their food is hot garbage). So in summary - a 10/10 dining experience which we'll be excited to come back to! I should have taken pictures; but, I think the ones online do a sufficient job. I'll take some photos next trip!
