First time in North Wilkesboro and decided to try The Lost Wombat. So glad I did! I loved the ambiance and was warmly greeted by a friendly server. I also had the pleasure of speaking with the owner, who was a great guy. I ordered the 12 oz ribeye, and it was cooked and seasoned perfectly. An excellent experience all around. Highly recommend! read more

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. read more

Gross slimy wings that you're not allowed to share bc they're on special. We did anyway, though we each only had one each bc they're gross. Chicken fingers had tons of gross breading and overdone. Hotdog came out without chili bc they're out. Side salad was good but ranch is watery. Waitress annoyed that we exist. read more

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! read more

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! read more

What an amazing place! I have a few regrets though. Number 1, I regret NOT having any of my grandchildren with me when I went. All of them would have loved it, so grandparents, DO NOT go alone. Number2, I regret ordering that huge hamburger. It was delicious and so so messy. Did I say it was enormous. I overate, which I realized is not their fault, but still. I needed a bigger appetite. Number 3, I regret ordering the trash nachos. They were amazing and have quite possibly ruined nachos for me forever. So other than all my regrets, everything was perfect. So, if you find yourself in North Wilkesboro, NC, hop in for some fun and great food. read more

Both times I've been here they've run out of random things (mustard, corndogs, beers etc) however, the staff is all very friendly and the other things I've ordered have been delicious! I've gotten their grilled chicken sandwich and the chopped cheese (which is like a chopped up cheeseburger on a hoagie - yum!) I have sat outside both times and it's been so nice. They have cornhole boards and a playset for kids outside. Will definitely go back for the corndog next time! read more

Service was wonderful, food was solid. Trash can nachos had a fun presentation. The burger had a great review, the kangaroo burger and vegemite sandwich were unique menu items which we had to try and were as expected. Great outdoor area for kids to play in read more

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. read more

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! read more

I was really looking forward to dinner here tonight. I like the family run business model, as well as the locally sourced ingredients, when possible. Ordered a burger and fries. My typical yardstick. If they can't cook a burger, I don't want to see what they would do with a fillet. Both items came out with good flavor, but barely warm. If the waitstaff had come by to check on me, I may have made a comment. Instead, they reappeared when I had 2 bites left. I did not try to get their attention . I will try one more time before writing this spot off my list. Disappointed. read more

The food was nothing spectacular. They didn't have any air conditioning so it was very hot.

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. read more

We where in town for a music festival and stopped in for dinner. We were informed that they were out of all red wine! Yikes! I ordered grilled chicken breast. It was supposed to be cooked blackened but had no seasoning! And it was so dry I could barely eat it. Asked for a knife to cut it and they said they were out of knives! It wasn't even that busy! You only get one side so I ordered the house salad and I have to say, it was good and fresh. They should definitely offer 2 sides! My husband ordered chicken wings and thought they were delicious. He also ordered the seasoned vegetables and said they were overcooked. The place is dirty and depressing inside and the bathrooms were filthy! read more

I recently dined here after a hike when passing through Wilkesboro on the way home. We parked down the street since there was not a designated parking lot. There is indoor and outdoor seating available with a lovely outdoor space & yard games to play. We chose to sit inside since outside was crowded. We started with the Trash Can Nachos & Pretzels with cheese which was good. We also ordered wings with three different flavors since they are willing to mix up sauces - not all wing places will do this! The wings were huge & we liked the wing flavors in the following order: Honey Garlic, Sweet Chili & BBQ. I ordered a side Caesar salad that I ended up not eating because it was overloaded with cheese & lacked flavor. Other than the salad, I enjoyed the rest! Our server was personable & professional & our food was out very quickly. read more

The Lost Wombat was a great find on our way to the mountains. Stopped in on a Sunday and learned about their 99 cent wing special. Best wings I've ever had. We tried the Nashville Hot and Honey Garlic, both were delicious. Also, highly recommend the house dip for the sweet potato fries. It was delicious! And the ranch for the wings had to be homemade. It was delicious too. Fun place the kids to run around and stretch their legs while we finished our Fosters. read more

Great food, very flavorful! If you love zucchini, you def need to try the mixed veggies. The seasoning they put on them was excellent. read more

If you have seen this restaurant and decided on something else SHAME ON YOU. This spot is the future of North Wilkes. This restaurant will forever hold the title of best wings I have ever had. It's just not possible to beat. Place is amazing, outside area is legit. Full bar as well. This place might as well hire security now, come now before you're waiting hours to get in. Also, this is the lunch special. 5 wings, side, and drink for 10$...I would have paid 16$....easily... read more

Got so many recommendations, and left utterly bummed out there was barely anyone there and the whole interaction took an hour and 30 mins for 2 people, we got sandwiches and they were just so overwhelmingly soggy. Sorry to say we won't be visiting again. read more

What a great place to eat. Family friendly (they have a playground outside - fenced in and safe) with excellent food and drink selection. Friendly servers who are attentive and nice. Can't go wrong with the bacon popcorn. read more

Food was great! Staff was friendly! Trash can nachos were delicious!! Wings were good!!

We heard a lot of good things online about this place. We came here and we ordered the "Aussie Burger" and the "Mushroom Swiss Burger". My wife loved the "Aussie Burger" and I like the "Mushroom Swiss" only thing I would change is if I could taste the spices a bit more in the burger meat. The wings are excellent! We tried to "Nashville Hot" and they are GREAT! You bit into them and you get an instant Kick of fire. We also got the Mozzarella Sticks, those were hot and fresh. Only 2 things I would change would be the temperature it was a bit cold and the napkins are a bit thin for the wing sauce. Other than that would recommend. read more

One of our favorites places since moving back from Charlotte to Wilkes! This restaurant has such a great outdoor space and overall ambiance, theres always good music and friendly faces there. The outdoor space is kid and pet friendly but always clean and not too loud for you to have a drink and relax. Can't compliment their menu enough, wings and burgers are amazing every time. Shrimp tacos were delicious. I love that the food quality and service consistently knocks it out of the park. Not to mention, their lunch/dinner prices are so good. We usually get 2 entrees and 2 cocktails and it's always cheaper than anywhere else we eat in Wilkes. If you haven't given them a chance yet, you're missing out!! read more

Food was good. Waitress brought me the wrong thing and took 15-20 minutes to bring the correct order. This is after everyone else in my party already had their food. Service was sub par. Barely apologized for the long wait and incorrect order. We were there at lunch and was not super busy. I was also shocked they left the incorrect order on the table. I hope it was not served to someone else. read more

Great Food and friendly service!! Definitely look forward to returning for another deliciously prepared meal

Food great. Our waitress was very good, but, the hostess needed more training or better attitude. Setting was great for evening of friends and football watching. Price about right for area. read more

A little pricey, but worth the money. The Shrimp Taco's are awesome The rustic look is inviting to the neighborhood.

All I have is WOW! Little hidden gem... A friend told us about this spot knowing my love for food and wings and how specific I am (to put it nicely) about them!! We decided to give it a try... Atmosphere was great, not too crowded or loud... Our waitress was sweet, personable, knowledgeable, and helpful!! Couldn't have had a more perfect dinner out. We don't go out to dinner much because of how "specific" I am and I am usually always disappointed!! Very seldom do I come across such greatness in a restaurant, enough so-we shall return and continue the spread of the word!! I ate things I never did like or could eat... their homemade queso was on point! The hot buffalo and barbecue wings were fantastic! The crinkle cut fries were just the right amount of crispy to soft ratio... Let's not get me started in on the trash can nachos-which I mainly ordered for the name!!!! The sodas were well carbonated!! Only disappointment was there were no shirts to be purchased!! I love me a good tee to wear to show my support of an establishment- maybe next time!! read more

The day that we were there, the air conditioning was broken or just not able to keep up because of the high ceilings so it was very very hot in there, but the food was very good. The service was very good if they could just do something about that AC They would be doing great. read more

Went to The Lost Wombat for the first time and really enjoyed ourselves. Food was great, atmosphere was relaxed and fun. We sat outside at the picnic table and played a game of corn-hole while waiting for food. While we did not bring any children, there is a nice playground above the picnic area which is part of the restaurant where kids can burn off energy while waiting on food. I highly recommend giving this place a try and definitely explore the menu and try something new. read more

Service was A+, the best I've had in years. Burger was maybe 3 oz., advertised as 7, ordered medium, came out well, asked for extra cheese, didn't get it, says it was American cheese but looked to be a cheap cheddar. Onion rings were OK but looked to have sat for a while and were just warm and kind of mushy. The vegemite sandwich was the standout of the meal which should tell you all you need to know. I really wanted to like this place but probably not on the return list. read more

The only redeeming quality of our meal was our waitress who was incredibly patient and nice. But one burger was burnt to an inedible degree, one had a dead fly under it on the plate, the homemade chips were underdone and everything else we had was under seasoned or poorly cooked. It's all our family talked about for the rest of the day. Whoever is running the kitchen needs to get their act together. read more

Great food! I love the wings! Cooked to perfection! The staff are attentive and kind! If you have not been here, give it a try!
