Vidalia has been a solid go to dinner spot on our visits to Boone for a few years now. Wait staff is friendly and attentive, even on a lively home game weekend. There's nice wine choices. The menu is limited but varied, with some specials that quickly sell out. Dinner for 2 with wine averages $100 for us. This time the spinach salad with strawberries, goat cheese, pecans, granny apples and vinaigrette with grilled shrimp added was my choice and it was very good. My date had the roast on risotto with vegetables and it all was delicious. Private parking is available but tight especially if more than sedan sized vehicles there. Reservations recommended on weekends. read more

We stumbled on Vidalia after not lucking out with a few other places down town. We sat out on the porch in early November and with the heaters the temperature was fine. All the staff were super friendly and our server Anna was a star, attentive without being overbearing. The food was fantastic. I had fried cheese grits and my wife had a butternut squash curry soup. This was followed by a salad with citrus vinaigrette for her and I had fried catfish on dirty rice. Everything was outstanding! read more

Food was exceptional, service was great. They had several specials in addition to the standard menu.

Great food sever staff is always friendly and helpful, good drinks the steaks are amazing

Always a great experience...consistently the most creative and great hospitality experience...

Everything we got was phenomenal! We ordered the smash burger, chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits, and the Venison. Next time we are in town, we will definitely be back! read more

I really don't know how to even rate my first experience at Vidalia's. My boyfriend and I chose to have a nice dinner to celebrate our anniversary as Vidalia has been his favorite restaurant in Boone. Our food was great. We started with a half order of onion rings and shared a bowl of venison vegetable stew. He had the chicken and waffles, I had the shrimp and grits. We don't drink so we wanted to have some N/A cocktails. The first one I had they couldn't make exact because they were out of cherries. Then the second one I wanted... out of the main ingredient. My boyfriend asked for a THC soda. The refrigerator was broken and couldn't be opened. Our server never even spoke to us. She didn't ask how the food was... not for appetizers and not for our main course. It felt like she was avoiding us like the plague. We wanted dessert but couldn't ruin our anniversary for one more moment with a server who has the personality of a wet noodle. We were also sat at a 2-top on the back wall with a brown paper table cloth. It was nice to feel like we had more private dining but no other tables that I saw had only a paper table cloth. On top of all of this, we ordered appetizers and entrees at the same time. It felt like an hour between each dish hitting the table. We hadn't even gotten our stew yet and a table that came in quite some time after us had already received entrees. A different server made sure that we had waters and the bartender was the only person to give us information on the bar drinks. Front of house staff needs to be polite and engage with their guests to make it a full experience. Personally, our server may excel somewhere like McDonald's. read more

Y'ALL. Vidalia is Boone's (and maybe North Carolina's) best kept secret. We have been here for brunch many times and loved the chicken & waffles, but we decided to have dinner here tonight and cannot overstate how phenomenal our entire experience was. Our waitress, Joan, was wonderful. Our Charleston-brewed IPAs on special were tasty. The $1 yeast rolls with honey butter were hot and flavorful and everything you could ask for. And the ENTREES - first of all, I couldn't get over the impeccable presentation of both of our dishes. Beautiful colors, sauce drizzled, edible flowers... truly looked like plates you'd get at a Michelin star restaurant. As for the food itself, both of our dishes knocked it out of the park. I got the Merguez lamb sausages over rice/mushrooms with pickled onions, peas & other delicious things (loved the combination of spicy & sweet going on with that), and my husband had the pork "burnt ends" over mac & cheese with cracklins and fresh veggies (we both don't usually go for mac & cheese and we both agreed Vidalia's was the best we'd ever tasted). I can't say enough good things in this review. Wonderful, laid back atmosphere, great local ingredients, clearly hardworking kitchen & front-of-house staff... Vidalia, we love you. read more

Happened into this restaurant apparently during a peak time. Wife and I sat and ate at the bar, food was great and bartender was the owner. She was awesome and told us the story about how the place got its name. Overall we had a great experience and would/will go back when we are in that area. Go check it out. read more

Absolutely amazing wine and food ! I sat at the bar and had a risotto which they were able to make without mushrooms due to allergies and I had fantastic wine. Tomato salad was ok! read more

Better come early to this place (or have a reservation). Our wait time was just under an hour for two seats at the bar. It turned out great since our bartender Lauren was fantastic! My bride ordered the Carolina Gold Rice Bowl ($20) and the presentation was attractive and my wife enjoyed the dish and said it was little "spicy" (maybe the pickled carrots). I went with the Salmon ($28) and it was well prepared and I thoroughly enjoyed it. When we are back in the area....we would definitely come again! read more

Very rude when we came in and didn't have a reservation they treated us like second-class citizens. Then, there was no somelier at the so-called wine bar, nor were there any flights of wine. The two wines that we tried, tasted like $10 bottles that had been opened for way too long. Inside was very bright lighting and, not warm and welcoming at all. They open at 5pm and it is street parking only. Free parking after 5pm for all of Boone. read more

Fabulous evening! We had a party of 4 and every dish ordered from apps to entrees were delicious. We ordered dessert and several cocktails which were perfectly crafted! YUM! Our waiter was on point and didn't rush us through each course! read more

If you are in the Boone area you have to go eat at this place. The food was absolutely stellar, the staff were some of the most friendly people we have been around and the prices are absolutely reasonable for the quality of food and service you're provided. They even had a little birthday sign on the table for me. This place is great. We will 100% be back when we're in town again. read more

Great food and service. Also was happy to help out a waitress on leave with health issues by purchasing a drink in her name. It was very special. read more

A friend and I found this gem when visiting Boone on a retreat. Food was so delicious we went back the following night. Service was top notch and the cocktails sublime. Only negative ... I live 800 miles away! read more

Presentation was 5/5. Actual experience was 2-3/10. Im bummed because I had high expectations based off the atmosphere and menu. The biscuit was EXTREMELY dry and there was hardly any gravy on my biscuit. When I asked for more the waitress told me there would be a charge (even though it comes on my meal) and when I got my bill it was an extra $2.50(!!) for a small cup of extra gravy. The worst part was that when I actually got to taste the gravy I paid extra for it had a smell/taste of peanut butter. I had a few other people at my table try it and they also thought it tasted like peanut butter which was weird. The "over easy egg" was completely fried and was not runny at all which likely contributed to the dish being dry. The only thing done right was the breading on the chicken which was fantastic- light and crunchy, but overshadowed by dryness of the chicken. . Service wasn't great- our waitress came to take our order and check once on food and didn't bring water when we requested more. Food took nearly an hour when there wasn't many other tables present. We could see our server just standing at the bar laughing and joking with bartenders for most of the time we were there. Was a super disappointing experience and I will definitely not return read more

I had the pork belly and my wife got the chicken and waffles. Chicken and waffles were good and priced well. My dish was mostly cabbage with a side of pork belly. The pork was average tasty. Over priced at 28 dollars considering the 6 small slices of meat. Mac was good. This probably isn't the place to get pork belly, though. So I guess that's on me. read more

My husband and I visited Vidalia recently. Our experience was far from the great reviews we read. Honestly, I can't speak to the food or beverages, because we never got that far. We were there 30 minutes. The waitress came by finally after 15 minutes to take a drink order that she never brought after another 15 minutes. At the 20 minute mark, as we watch another table that came in way after us get drinks, we decided to cut our losses at 30 minutes. Besides, parking is quite difficult. You have to work at finding a parking spot minutes away. Overall, not a positive experience for us read more

Had a craving for a great burger so I questioned our server about the $17 burger on the menu. My husband ordered the steak. I specifically ask our server if the burger was cooked to order and she said it was. Ordered my burger medium and even explained that I wanted it pink in the center. Food came and the burger was well done! Server agreed and took it back to have another one made for me, my husband had finished his meal by the time the second was brought to the table and AGAIN IT WAS WELL DONE! This time our server said that the burger was still juicy! If I wanted my burger well done I would have gone to one of the fast food read more

All courses were super delish..! The service was good, and the an available wine selections were top notch..!

Second evaluation. The food is incredible. I got the shrimp and grits and my wife got the salmon. It was fantastic. I would take any of my Northeastern friends here and recommend the food. Very good. First time was a little disappointing but this time was fantastic. Go to eat here. It's a can't miss . read more

Got take out. The menu looked amazing. We both got the bahn mi. I got the tuna and hubby got the cauliflower. There was way too much bread. It was crusty but it overpowered the food in it. The homemade chips were great as were the truffle fries. Yum! read more

It was a last minute decision to try Vidalia out and I'm so happy we did. The food and service were top notch! We had the pimento appetizer, the short ribs and the ribeye. Everything was delicious! It's a beautiful yet cozy restaurant that offers world class food without the stuffy atmosphere. read more

This was by far one of the best pieces of chicken that I've ever had. It was perfectly crusted while moist and tender on the inside. I was surprised by the mini waffles. I requested some hot maple syrup and my meal was delicious. My friends were also satisfied with their meals as well. Good Bloody Mary and attentive service. Cool vibe and would happily return for Sunday Brunch. read more

We enjoyed a nice meal outside last night. The owner was working as hard as everyone else. She was keeping the place clean and enjoyable. That always makes a place special. The food was very good very filling and sinful somehow I'm sure. The prices were fair and the noise was about right with a mix of old and young folks with a few kids too. I would suggest giving this place a try. I heard good and bad from friends who live in Boone. I say go try it out!! read more
