We took a day off from work to spend some good quality time together. We were headed straight for…read moreone of our favorite restaurants in Blowing Rock and then on the way I said, nope, starting now we are venturing out more like we used to. New experiences this next year and starting now! I searched online while the hubby drove and came up with this spot. I ordered the three-meat plate which included two sides and hushpuppies, and my husband ordered the fish and chips (shocker-Brit!), which also included two sides of his choice. He raved about the piece of fish and after taking a bite, I had to agree. A nice thick piece and the breading was just right. Nice fries as well. I didn't try the beans but my husband enjoyed them. I wasn't as enamored with the meats I received. They were just ok as Q goes, lacking any smoke flavor or crunchy bits like I prefer. The sauces were delicious though and while I'm not usually much of a sauce person I enjoyed them and as a result enjoyed the meats. The slaw and collards I had were again just ok. Points for being house-made, but I adore cole slaw and this slaw is a bit dry and needs some oomph. A little Duke's and ACV would make this amazing. A nice crunch and chop is already there but I would tweak it a bit. The collards were cooked perfectly and tasty but again, ACV is needed. Maybe even just add it to the sauce mixes on the table, so folks can doctor their dishes if desired? Why a photo of the silverware you ask? I was so happy to get real silverware and heavy, substantial pieces! It elevates my experience, just me maybe. As I was grabbing a few more photos of the bistro I noticed a nice bourbon selection, and being a bourbon aficionado I had to get closer. I had a nice chat with the owner, who explained a special weekly event he does for folks to try some premium grade liquors at cost and even went on to explain that he makes most of his infusions and mixes in house. Big points for that. I only wish we didn't live over an hour away, but maybe we can get back for some cocktail events at some point. I would/will definitely return and try some other menu items. Service was great, cleanliness is clearly high on their list, and everyone was just super nice.

When I did I was shocked at the poor quality. The chicken was overcooked and very thin and chewy.

I have switched my allegiance to Hardee's for chicken sandwiches. Theirs is comparable to the "old" Chick-fil-A. What a sad state of affairs.

The food was made fresh, hot, and delicious and we started off July with a yummy watermelon milkshake!

Everyone is always very nice

Long gone are the days of a $3.99 tray, but with the amount of food I received and the vibe inside…read morethis Cookout, I've got nothing to complain about. Typically my Cookout experience is a drive thru, but this location gives you the opportunity to eat in also. The interior of the restaurant is definitely themed for the location, with mountain pictures, words of wisdom from a bear, and pale wood tables in contrast to the plastic booths they also have. The inside seemed clean enough, but I didn't venture outside of the dining area. This Cookout location, like a few others, has walking tacos on their tray option as a side. I was sold. I love a good walking taco. My tray consisted of a small burger, walking taco, and the white cheddar cheese bites? Did I really need to consume 900 calories at lunch? No. Was it delicious? Absolutely. The service was fast and accurate. They give you your own cups for the drink machine, so you can make your own drink full of tea on ice or just have a large cup of water no ice. This stop was a first for me, but I hope the littles will want to come here on our next trip up the mountain.

That one is the only one I go to for my morning coffee. The crew in the morning are very respectful, friendly, and hard working. they treat every customer the same like they matter and they r welcomed there. I really appreciate Sherry Spencer the manage, Abigail Cook and Ashley also mangers and there is a blonde girl that works there to I only get to see her sometimes she was moved to night time. I love my morning coffee but stopping there and getting to see their friendly faces starts my mornings off right!! Does not matter if they are short staffed, stressed to the max bc mornings there is crazy busy they always have a smile on their faces and happy to see you knowing you took the time to stop there and spend your hard working money with them they make you feel good about it no matter how much you spend. I just wanted to take a minute to let everyone know these girls know what they are doing when it comes to customer service , time management, and making customers feel welcome and that means a lot!! Thank you girls for everything you do it really means a lot!!

We placed an online order and they lost it: twice! Total time from order to meal: 45 minutes. The food court area is FILTHY. How McDonalds lets this place stay in business is utterly beyond me. It is a discredit to all McDonalds worldwide and I'm almost positive a health violation in at least five area. I urge whoever reviews food establishments for food safety, should shut this place down, immediately.

If you're looking for genuine authentic delicious awesome MEXICAN food, you won't find a better place for hundreds of miles. I lived in Wilkesboro for over 14 years and when this place opened we used to come here every week. I now live in Statesville and EVERY (I repeat EVERY) time that I come to Wilkes I make it a point to come here to eat. Their food is so amazing. Their people are so wonderful and serve you so well. The restaurant was moved to a new location years ago (this one now) and it's so beautiful inside and gives you the feel you are in Mexico. Their menu is full of amazing things. Their ACP (arez con pollo - aka Chicken and Rice and cheese) is to die for. Their tacos are so delicious. They have so many meats and flavors. And you must have their Horchata (which is a milky flavored drink from rice - reminds me of a snow cream taste and very sweet -- if you've never had one, try it and thank me later!!) Don't miss an opportunity to come here. I would rate it 10 out of 5 if I could. It's my favorite Mexican restaurant in the world. Hands down.

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.
