Go somewhere else! Atmosphere was neat.... food was over priced. $15 for nachos that tasted like chips with cheese sprinkled on it and melted in the microwave... I could have made better at home. The mahi tacos were not very good either. And my husband got the venison burger because the review pictures looked amazing. And it looked nothing like what was pictured. Tasted meh... the salad was good but $73 for a good salad and the rest of the food was not worth eating. read more

I'm giving this place one star because of the lack of good managerial practice. We were a party of four that arrived approximately 10 minutes before a party of six that also had no reservation. We were told 15 to 20 minutes and were then shocked to see the party of six seated before us at a table clearly designed for four people. They crammed the other two at the ends of the table with hardly any room for silverware and plates. Ironically, I had a view of the previous party seated at the table prior to the party of six. Sure enough, that party was... four people. read more

Our waitress was very friendly, and the food was amazing. I don't know how they do so many cuisines so well, but they nail it every time!

A friend recommended a restaurant down the street, but you Yelpers made me come here instead! Thanks! The place features some good locally or regionally grown veggies, and some local meats and eggs and such. They're all spun into some awesome dishes, with very eclectic and cross-cultural origins. I had the Chiang Mai noodle bowl with chicken, and was very pleased. (How could I resist? I spent a week in Chang Mai....) The mixture of many different veggies was quite satisfying. I had a tasty smoothie before I left- though for one with pear in the name, there wasn't too strong a hint of pear. (But again, still very tasty.) The atmosphere is quite casual- with salt & pepper shakers that are different at every table, feeling a bit like they may have been acquired at a thrift store. I didn't get a good look at the dishes at other tables to find out if they would also give the same feel. It really made me feel quite comfortable and at home. My server was the intensely cute Annierae C., who was good-natured and seemed quite happy, even on a busy afternoon. She even took time out for a short discussion of windmills. If I get there again, I do hope she's my server once more- and not JUST because as a terminally single guy, I couldn't help noting how adorable she is. :) read more

The Good: Service, iced tea, sesame dressing. The Not so Good: It was hot as the blazes in there, the brocolli something or another soup had no taste even after I loaded it down with salt, and the salad sort of looked bagged. Also, they don't take cards. I think that is sort of unbelievable. My friend really liked the noodle dish she got but it was pretty spicy so she couldn't finish it all. I didn't see what it said on the menu so she may have ordered something that stated it was spicy. read more

Stopped in for lunch, it was fantastic. I think we might go back for dinner!!! The menu is original, interesting, creative and most of all - very well executed. This is the real deal... Local, lots of vegan and vegetarian options as well as gluten free choices. Everything here is MADE TO ORDER. It does take longer... There is no fryer, no microwave. People actually cook it all - so keep that in mind. If you are in a rush or have young children that are going to lose it waiting for food (if its really busy) then pause and think. For everyone else that wants to enjoy and relax over a wonderful meal - Try it!!!! read more

Was visiting a friend in Boone who kept raving about Hob Nob since the first day I got there. Sure enough Hob Nob is rad! But seriously, chill atmosphere, great music, food and drinks were spectacular, and our waiter was cool! Had a dark and stormy (drink) the start and it was perfection! Ordered the curry, and they made it as spicy as I wanted it. So flavorful, and nicely portioned! So many vegan choices on the menu it's hard to feel bad about anything you eat at this place. But of course you can add meat to just about anything of you desire. :) Come to Hob Nob! You won't be disappointed! read more

The staff were super friendly. The atmosphere was nice but it's a small place and a couple of loud voices can really overwhelm the conversations of every other customer. I had the chicken chowder with green chiles and white corn. It was tasty but served lukewarm. For an entrée I had the Thai burger. It wasn't bad but it wasn't special either. The hallmark of the experience, however, was the glacial slowness of the entire experience. It was a Friday night and there was a large party our server was also taking care of. read more

Ordered to-go on the way into town for a girls weekend. We had a hard time deciding what to order. Almost ordered everything. Got a couple different tacos, a burger and nachos. Basically scarfed everything down. Definitely plan to eat there again on the next visit. read more

The pork tamale and Reuben enchilada were both amazing. We were in town for two days and ate there twice!

Local, organic fare from a variety of destinations. Choose from Indian, southwestern, or American. Try the Garam Masala with choice of protein or vegetarian. Also try the Chang Mai Noodle Bowl w/ tempeh..my favorite! Good breakfast too! Daily soups & specials! Nice patio but on Main St so expect noise. Cozy inside but can also be loud. All entries can be made to order. Dietary issues, allergies considered. read more

Loved it - the food was excellent. We got the bbq chicken gyro and topsail tofu tacos! read more

Waited 40 mins to be seated after she stated 20 mins. 40 minutes for food. No paper towels in mens bathroom. Food was okay. No concerns from staff that we waited so long. There were multiple groups who also waited a long time. One table was served the wrong food. You could tell it was a bad night for them. The beer was good and inexpensive. Local breweries. read more

I very much enjoyed my visit to the Hob Nob Farm Cafe. First, the restaurant itself is quaint, logical, spacious, and well-decorated. There isn't much parking, and the lot is tight-tight-tight; but then, the cafe is smack-dab in the middle of downtown, so its small parking lot is actually quite generous, relatively speaking. Second, the mariposa enchilada I ordered was absolutely delicious, thoughtfully presented, and quite reasonably priced. Even better, the coffee was high-quality, locally roasted, and organic (and, also, not at all expensive). Third, my meal was served by a friendly, attractive, and attentive server who earned herself a nice tip. Last, the restaurant had a sedate, calm atmosphere, despite being located right along a somewhat busy street. I was quite comfortable having a long, relaxing lunch. Overall, I had a very pleasant experience at this establishment, and will gladly return. Thanks so much, everyone at the Hob Nob! read more

This place was everything I hoped it would be. The food was delicious, the decorum was fun and service was friendly! There's inside and outdoor (covered deck) dining and I even glimpsed an elegant private dining area! The prices are reasonable and the local, organic menu was fairly diverse. Tons of healthy-ish smooth options too! After a long day of riding, my boyfriend and I were looking for quality eats. We both ordered the Watauga burger and it did not disappoint. I wish I could've tried everything on the menu! If you're riding through Boone, this restaurant is a must try. They even had moto parking at the front! Every table also had unique salt & pepper caddies. This place was too cute! We will definitely be back next time we are in the area! read more

Staff is rude. We waited half an hour just for someone to realize we were there so we could find out the wait. We did not eat there. No idea if the food is good or not. I'm out for lack of costumer service read more

Great food (vegan pad Thai noodle bowl especially good) excellent service...so good that we ate there two nights in a row while visiting Boone! We felt like regulars by the time we left town. read more

So glad we are here! We had an amazing meal!!! All 4 of us were happy. Kids loved their burrito and we adults LOVED the pork tamales. Had chocolate cake for dessert. SO GOOD!!! And our waitress was just the sweetest and cutest you could get. All around great experience. Popular place so be prepared for a wait! You can always walk around the downtown area and they will text you when a table is ready. Enjoy!!! read more

I LOVE this place! The food is always delicious and they have such a wide selection of food, I always try something new when we go. A lot of the food is locally produced so freshness is on point. The staff is always so friendly and accommodating. My husband and I love this place and try to go every time we visit. read more

This place is seriously great. Local and responsibly sourced ingredients are huge for me and my family. You can see just from reading their menu that a lot of their ingredients are from local farms and vendors. Their food is very good and tastes very fresh. Awesome outdoor patio with a great selection of local and N.C. craft beers. I will certainly be back. read more

Our go to spot when looking for comforting food with heaping servings when we are visiting Boone. Greta customer service and super cozy interior, although we have yet to dine in. Ive had the sweet potato enchiladas, Asian noodles and classic burger and they were all great. Love that the website tells you where they source their food from. read more

We stopped by for a early dinner after a day of sight seeing and hiking at Grandfather Mountain. I saw the great reviews on Yelp and the location seemed fun. I was worried upon being seated because when I mentioned to the waitress that we were starving she suggested appetizers because "the food can take a bit". We did order an appetizer, chips and queso, which arrived promptly and was pretty good. The menu itself is fun and eclectic with choices for every palate and lifestyle (veggie, vegan, carnivore). Great kids menu. The food did take a little longer than I had hoped, but the wait was not horrible and the waitress kept us updated and our water glasses were always full. They were not terribly busy when we were there. I can imagine a long wait for food if they are busy. The food was really, really good. I had a crab cake, bacon and Brie panini that was among the most memorable things I've eaten - ever. Just delicious. Tomato soup was okay, but needed seasoning. The other food at the table was good also. I did have major plate envy watching the waitress carry plates by. Would love to try more menu items. With all of that said, and as great as the food was, I doubt I would go back if they were slammed and running a wait. I bet the kitchen really jams up on getting the food out and with two kids that just sounds miserable. I'll gladly go back if it's not busy. Lunch for two adults, two kids with one app, four meals and four tap waters was a little over $50 inc. tip. read more

How I wish Hob Nob weren't 100 miles away. We've eaten there dozens of times and despite unpredictable service (whether unreasonable wait times for food or servers who are a little off their game), we'll keep coming back. Favorites include the tempeh gouda tacos, mukelele enchilada, tofu divinewich, and the yellow curry. The chips and salsa or queso also don't disappoint; their choices of salsa are wonderful. I wish they still offered the bowl that had the quinoa and black eyed peas; it was phenomenal! read more

Hmmm... where to start? Let's just say that we were very excited about this restaurant when we got here ( good rating on yelp (most be from older posts), quirky feel, farm fresh organic food, and a menu that goes on and on with a list of foods that SOUND delicious). I agree with the other reviewers that the wait after placing the order is much too long. I will also say that, while I was waiting and waiting for our food, I noticed that the presentation of most of meals is very nice (however, the burritos look very lonely on the plate, because they are the only thing on there-- I've never seen a burrito without any garnishing). I ordered the Mariposa enchilada and my husband had the Cuzco cakes - we liked our meals "ok, fine", but we were not nearly as impressed as we hoped to be. Our children ordered two of the burritos off of the menu. Neither one of them liked their burritos at all. Thinking it was just "kids being finicky kids", we both tried their burritos and had to agree with the children- the burritos were not good at all... even with a multitude of ingredients, both burritos were bland. Its a shame that a restaurant with so many of the "right ingredients" (from a marketing/presentation standpoint and from the way the menu READS).... ends up being just, "meh". read more

My friend and I did a daytrip to Boone and came here for lunch based on a friend's recommendation. We loved it so much that we came back for dinner! I ordered the cusco cakes and the avocado tempeh toast and both were really good. I love that the restaurant has delicious and interesting vegetarian options that would be satisfying for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians. Service was great, portions are pretty large and prices and reasonable for the portion size. read more

Our new favorite in Boone NC. Wild Craft's menu has so many intriguing dishes we look forward to each visit. We've enjoyed two different curry dishes, the nachos, and the souper special with great cheddar cheese toast. We'd gladly repeat any of these but can't wait to first try more of the tasty items from the menu. Can you judge a restaurant by the customers it attracts? Sometimes, yes. On that count Wild Craft is the ONE place we're happy to visit and recommend. I had lost my wedding band sometime during our evening out but had no idea where. Sent an email to a couple of places we'd visited. Within an hour I heard back from Wild Craft's co-owner, "We have it". Customers seated after us at our table found and turned in my wedding band. Great customers at a great restaurant! Cozy atmosphere, fun retro style (especially love the mid-century wall clocks), and warm service combine with the menu and quick service to make this a great place to try if you haven't already and to return to if you're after more great dining. read more

We took 4 vegetarians and one meat eater and everyone loved it! All of the vegetarians agreed that there were almost too many choices. It's very hard to please everyone in our group but the Wild Craft Eatery pulled it off! read more

Had a great dinner tonight on the patio with our dog. They have an interesting selection of wine, and we chose something different, a Tempranillo, which was very smooth and drinkable. I had their pot pie, a twist on the old favorite, it was amazing, the most comforting of comfort foods! My husband had a rice noodle dish topped with mahi-mahi, and loved it. Our server did a great job juggling several tables that came all at once. They also had some interesting vegetarian dishes. Highly recommend this gem! read more

Best vegan food I have ever had. I have been vegan for a while now and I can surely say that we face hiccups when it comes to ordering food at a restaurant. This place had the BEST vegan food that I have ever had. 10/10 recommendation for everyone! read more

I have eaten here many times and after today will never go there again. I ordered a beef burger and was served a beyond burger. When I questioned them on this the waiter lied and covered for the kitchen staff. A simple I'm sorry let me fix this and I would have been satisfied . However that was not the case. read more

We would come back here as the food was very good, but this is NOT a place for a quick bite. We came as a family of five and it took close to 45 minutes for 4 of the meals to be brought out. I had the noodle bowl with one modification, hold the mushrooms, and it came out 10 minutes later. Maybe they forgot the first time around and had to redo it? There was a sign posted that they need kitchen help, so maybe it will get better. All of the servers were kind and knowledgeable. Regardless, the food was tasty, looked beautiful (except for the child's quesadilla), plentiful and advertised as local. The drinks available were fun, including Blue Sky Sodas (yay!) and mango lassies. We were comfortable being here with our children, but be warned, it can be noisy inside and there is a good chance you will be seated next to a bunch of pretentious people who like to hear themselves talk. Oy. read more

Yum! I've had all kinds of food here-- with and without meat-- so I'm perplexed by the folks who said the food was anything less than great. I think it could be because the menu is a little odd, they use a whole gaggle of ingredients that you might not think to combine yourself. An enchilada with sweet potatoes, pumpkin seeds and pineapple?? Definitely not what I'd think to cook up if I were set on making enchiladas, but it tastes awesome! It could make the menu a rough sight for picky eaters though-- but give your taste buds a chance to grow! The wait is definitely long if you go when everyone else is going-- that's mostly speaking to peak dinner hours on weekends-- so this is precisely the time when I won't try to eat there. But you can order takeout anytime and bypass any long wait. It'll usually be ready within half an hour, and if it's nice out you can go eat on the grass at Jones House, which is just a block away. read more
