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
Kellie D.

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
Kirby R.

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!

Yelp offer

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.

Trash Can Nachos with Beef
Kirby P.

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.

Chips and salsa
Zandi W.

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

Wow! My first experience with The Lost Wombat! A great little, friendly venue! It not only offers great food and superb service, but also warm, friendly, attentive service. Additionally, there entertainment opportunities! Pool and corn hole to name two!! I completely recommend this warm welcoming place!!

The burgers were awesome, and the beer was cold. The owner was very friendly. The atmosphere was very laid back and comfortable.

Alright this place was 10/10! Great food! Great environment and great customer service. We're in…read moreTraphill for a few days visiting families and were in the mood for burgers and hotdogs. 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! Thank you FSBWB! We can't wait to come back!

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 started with the nachos; they were delicious, though I do wish they came with a bit more meat. For mains, the burger was outstanding--probably one of the best we've had in the entire area. 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. Definitely worth the wait!

Ratings- He gave the salmon a seven I give my Burger a nine, and the wings were about a seven(dry rub). That said, sitting at the bar was absolutely a treat... Erin was fantastic. Will 100% return and this is definitely a spot not to be missed. Also fantastic beer selection!!!
