This place is a hidden gem in Blue Ridge! The customer service was top notch and the food was completely phenomenal!! Highly recommend! Take a slight detour off the main street.

I will start off with saying that the service and staff were very nice and friendly. They told us about their speakeasy/bar (Sake Jon's) located in the back outside. The food, was okay and not your traditional poke bowl. I didn't like that you couldn't see what you were being served because it was covered. Most places allow you to see what's being served so you can better decide what toppings you'd like. I also found it odd that they use jasmine rice instead of sushi rice, which tends to stick together better. My pokeritto fell apart after the first bite and was super messy.
The best part of this place is Sake Jon's, which is the speakeasy located in the back serving great cocktails! 5 stars for this unique and super cool bar. There's a living painting, which was a new concept for me. The bartender was amazing and told us about the origins of the place and how he ended up in Blue Ridge. Overall, a must visit to Sake Jon's!

You know when you see something as distinctive as poke when visiting a smaller town, the owner is bringing the cuisine from a place of love and respect. They want to share this deliciousness with others. That is exactly what we experienced at Poke Jon's. The food was great, but it was the friendliness and attentiveness of the staff that elevated the visit. We knew we were in good hands when the folks behind the counter started welcoming regulars by name and even reminding them about coworkers' orders. When it was our turn, Miss Donna was so helpful in walking us through options, and then checked on us a few times while we were eating. Other staff came through, as well. It was never intrusive or overwhelming, but rather a sincere wish to be helpful and very appreciative of our visit. What a treat to find this wonderful restaurant in such an unexpected area.
Parking: Parking in front of the restaurant, which is just up the hill from downtown (so away from that congestion)

Fast friendly service, and delicious fresh food; all for a great price. It was nice sitting out on the back deck, and our fur baby was allowed to be with us too! Overall, a great experience!

Food was delayed by 30 minutes for pickup so we complained. Then when it was made for my whole family it was made extremely spicy intentionally. Also most of the things we ordered through the site we told they were out of everything except spicy tuna/salmon.

We stopped by for lunch and snagged a great table out front, perfect for our pup to join us. I originally had my sights set on “The Monroe,” but they were out of Cobia that day. Fortunately, they had a lobster roll on the menu, and as a fan of the Connecticut-style (warm with butter), I couldn’t resist trying it. We also ordered a custom poke bowl with white jasmine rice, spicy tuna, ponzu, and yum yum sauce, topped with carrots, cucumber, mango, fried onion, corn, and sesame seeds.
The poke bowl was absolutely fantastic — one of the best I’ve ever had. The flavors were fresh, well-balanced, and just downright delicious. As for the lobster roll, it came with a generous portion of lobster for $24, though the texture was a bit on the chewy side.
Overall, it was a fantastic visit, and I’ll definitely be back for more of that amazing poke!

Food was amazing!!! Best poke bowl I’ve ever had. Great tasting food for a good price. Service was good as well, although they waited on my friends before me and automatically assumed we were separate so they started doing other stuff before helping me. There were at least 5 minutes where I stood waiting to be helped. When I said we were together they apologized they “didn’t think we were together” and started making my bowl. I think it was because my friends “looked different” than I did so they thought I was on my own? I’m not really sure. When we went the AC inside was broken so it was super hot so we had to sit out back, which thankfully wasn’t hot but pretty dingy and we had bugs attacking us.
