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.

There are several in the area so it really was a blind choice tk end up here. I like the atmosphere here. Reminds me of the bars up north. Rustic bar with a dining area of tables and chairs. And of course patio seating for those who enjoy eating outside or bring their dog with them. Our server was the bartender. She said early Saturdays weren't always busy and that's why she was alone. She was very friendly and efficient. Typical bar food but some with extra flair. A salmon sandwich. Burgers and chicken sandwiches kicked up a bit. A good variety and interesting choices. NOTE: They DO have allergy protocols in place. Make sure you tell your server if you have any allergies. Nice to see restaurants doing this. I ordered the cheesesteak all the way with max n cheese. There are several sides to choose from. Wife got the VooDoo chicken sandwich and fries. She said it was excellent. Mae got the Mountain of Nachos with chicken. All the food was excellent. The nachos could sleazily feed 3 hungry adults. Just be aware if you order it. It's massive. Love the atmosphere, food and service. Will definitely go back when we visit Boone. $41 + tip for three good lunches. I don't mind paying for good food and service. Give them a try.

I am beyond disappointed with this place. My boyfriend was at Elevation 3333 tonight, and what he…read moresaw was seriously disturbing. Like, actual disgusting racism happening right in front of everyone, and the staff couldn't care less. He saw this Latino guy just trying to grab a drink at the bar, and this group of white women just absolutely went off on him. They were screaming slurs and calling him the most terrible names. It wasn't a joke or a misunderstanding; it was blatant, sickening, targeted hate speech. This is Boone, right? It's supposed to be chill, but apparently, not at this place. My boyfriend immediately went to the bouncer--the guy who's supposed to keep things safe--and told him exactly what was happening. And the bouncer's official response? He said he couldn't do anything. Seriously?! A grown man is being harassed with racial slurs, and your security just shrugs and walks away? That's not just unprofessional; that's actively letting racism happen on your property. It's like they're totally cool with it. I am livid. My friends and I are DONE with Elevation 3333. No way are we giving business to a place that allows blatant disrespect and racism to run wild and then won't lift a finger to stop it. This is beyond gross. Spread the word--if they let this kind of stuff happen, they don't deserve our money.

We go to Boone once a month and we have our favorites but always try something new each time well this place is off the list. After waiting 15 min for someone to come and wait on us we then order simple burgers, fries and a drink after another 20 min it comes and my burger and bun are burnt I asked for another one if it wouldnt take as long the second time I guess he didnt understand because 15 min later he brings us the bill and says have a nice day. I said I guess that I dont have to pay for the lunch I never got then and he says oh man I am sorry let me get you your burger I say at this point no thanks SO go to the register and they try and give us a 20% discount for our troubles I said how about 20% off on the meal we got and no charge on the one we didnt The restaurant is also old, dirty, tears in the seats the back emergency door had old rags stuff on the floor against it I guess to keep the air inside or bugs out who knows. There are several other nice places in town its a shame they are next to the hotel and get visitors in town that do not know any better until its to late read more

If I could have no stars I would. Adam that works there got pissed off apparently because I walked right by the sign that says 'seat yourself' on 9/11/2015 around 6:10pm and sat down. He strolled up and said I haven't even started to clean this table.... Sarcastically. I said I'll move so I moved to the next table. I sat there for about ~15 minutes and listened as he was over the top nice to the tables near me and just left me sitting there. I finally gave up and went up front, moved the sign that says 'seat yourself' up to the register/station and the cook saw me. I pointed at the sign and said would you mind showing this to him (as I pointed toward the sign and Adam). Very disappointing. read more

On this last trip, we went twice. I got the Beth Ann Clark both times. I just love their cheesy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, fruit, and french toast. My husband tried two different entrees this time--the Butch Triplett (corned beef and eggs) and their breakfast burrito. Their corned beef is likely from a can, but it's so good because they cook it so it's very crispy. I always steal some of his corned beef to add to my eggs! Their breakfast burrito is amazing. It's simply filled, with just scrambled eggs, cheese, small bits of ham, and hash browns. It's topped with an enchilada sauce that is similar to a ranchero sauce, and is served with sour cream and guacamole. It's a massive burrito, and SO GOOD! My husband said it's his new favorite. Social on Main is popular, and so we always go early (before 8am). After 8am, there is usually a wait--especially on Saturdays. Their servers are always friendly, and the food is delivered fast. Their coffee is nice and strong, too. I wish we had a Social on Main near our house, because we'd visit them weekly. Give them a try if you are in Blowing Rock for a visit and want a great breakfast!
