A Southern Gem Worth the Stop Every Time!…read more I first discovered Central Café about three years ago during the Ground Steak Festival in Dobson. I had never even heard of a ground steak sandwich before, but they had a booth at the festival, and I decided to give it a try. Let me just say--it was absolutely delicious! That fresh sliced tomato on top really took it to the next level. Since then, I make it a point to stop in whenever I'm back in town (I live out of state), and I've probably visited five times over the last few years. Each time, I've been met with warm, friendly service and that classic southern hospitality. The food is always fresh, comforting, and full of flavor. Beyond the ground steak sandwich, I've also tried their hot dogs and onion rings--both excellent. It's a great southern-style restaurant that keeps me coming back whenever I'm in the area. Central Café is a local gem and a must-try if you're passing through Dobson!

We went to Trojan Patio a few weeks ago on a Saturday morning with a group of 5 (three adults, two…read morekids.) The atmosphere is more cramped than you'd expect from the outside, with limited seating options and a rather small inside area. There was some outside seating but it was very cold and windy the day we went and that was expectedly empty. We were able to cram the 5 of us into a booth (good thing kids are small!). Service was decent though understaffed, and our server was very friendly! Trojan Patio definitely meets expectations for a local breakfast diner. The grill is visible, and no, it doesn't look like strict cleanliness is the first priority (but let's be real, that adds flavor right?) The menu had many options, and adults and children alike were equally satisfied with our meals. The coffee was good and served quickly. Really my only complaint is around the cramped space, which I realize is hard for them to correct. It's a great local dive for breakfast and with more space, I can imagine they would thrive! We're rarely in Sparta, but would not hesitate to return next time we're up there.

We eat here whenever we're in the area. Not just because it is close to the house, but it is truly…read moregood food. The service is always kind and attentive, even if you're not from around the area. You'll notice that this is a place for the locals, as there is a men's group that eats there at breakfast time, and everybody knows everybody. The interior is casual with all chair seating- no booths. The bathrooms are on the backside of the building - you go through an enclosed hallway with windows viewing the exterior to get there. Don't expect fancy here, but do expect a quality meal at a good price.

I was on the way home from the mountain house, wanted to try a new spot, so thought I would look to yelp for suggestions. Based on great reviews, many great reviews, we decided to try. First, we were told the biscuits are not made from scratch. are not made from scratch. We immediately knew this was not goi g to be our go to spot in the future. Now, the reason I am leaving a review is, not everyone has to have a scratch made biscuits; and the canned biscuit they did serve tasted fine. We were there for breakfast so we decided to stay. My wife got a chicken biscuit and the chicken was a pre-patty out of a bag chicken piece. Again, tasted fine, but we thought, Dern, we can do this ourselves at home. I want to make sure this review is read correctly, the food tasted fine, the people were great, and the place was busy, so if you just want to satisfy a hunger, please stop. However, if you are looking for a great diner with scratch made food, don't let the yelp rating fool you like it did me, this is not your spot.

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 .
