    Breakfast was excellent. Service was quick and I really enjoyed the rustic yet modern cabin feel. Service was fast. Relaxing place.

    Limbertwig Cafe is located in downtown Morganton, near the Historic Burke County Courthouse. It is…read moreopen 6 days a week for lunch, offering both inside and outside seating on the sidewalk. There is local artwork displayed on the walls as you enter. You place your order directly at the counter, take a number, and your food is brought out to your table when it is ready. The menu is quite large, and it took a bit of time to decide on my order, but I ultimately went with a combo including a half ham wrap, a drink, and a side of pasta salad. The cashier was very good about openly telling everyone in line about price differences from the printed menu before ordering. Because the kitchen was experiencing a significant delay, it seemed like they quietly upgraded me to a whole wrap as a nice peace offering! It came cut into two parts, with one part wrapped neatly in foil. Personally, I really wish they offered a "build your own" option where you could just choose your own specific bread, meat, cheese, and toppings, rather than having to hunt through the large preset menu options to find a combination where you like everything. I was really surprised by how incredibly small the side portion of pasta salad was--about the size of a standard salad dressing container! I've honestly never seen a side dish served that small before, so I posted a photo of the two side by side to show the exact comparison. Next time, I would skip the combo entirely and just order the sandwich on its own. The ham wrap itself was really good, and the small bite of pasta salad was very tasty. However, it did take quite a bit longer than it should have for the food to leave the kitchen, so this slow wait time could definitely be an issue for someone on a tight lunch schedule.

    The food is great. I always get the Jamaican chicken salad croissant. It's really good and unique…read more The soup is great also. Prices are very reasonable. They are a little slow which doesn't bother me since I usually go with friends so we spend the wait time talking but don't get in a hurry. The dining area is clean and pleasant but nothing fancy. It is one of my favorite places to eat in Morganton.
