“𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥 - 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐧𝐞, 𝐍𝐂 ---- One of the hardest things to do is to find a local lunch spot that goes beyond your typical foods. After several recommendations we landed at this restaurant over in the downtown area of Boone off King Street. --- As an experienced traveler, having explored 68 countries and 36 states, I approach restaurant reviews with clear criteria: Ambience, Service, and Food (Quality, Taste, Presentation). My goal is to provide an unbiased perspective, highlighting both strengths and weaknesses. --- Ambiance – The restaurant blends the local cabin feel with modern décor creating an amazing indoor and outdoor dining area suitable for small gatherings including friends, family, business meetings, and groups, along with the ability to entertain larger setups for group events. They utilized modern touches such as large chandeliers and decorative lighting coupled with local artwork on the walls to create a culturally diverse space with a local vibe. --- Wait Staff - Our waitress was exceptionally attentive, offering insights into the diverse flavors of the menu. Highlights included Woodfired Flats & Pizzas, Handhelds/Sandwiches, Burgers, Tacos, and Soups/Salads. --- Food – In an area with plenty of traditional food options that provide standard burgers, sandwiches, and salads, this restaurant stands out by elevating ingredients and flavor combinations to new heights. Each dish showcases a commitment to fresh, quality ingredients and innovative flavor profiles truly brings their dining experience to an elevated level. --- Boone Philly: Deemed a customer favorite featuring tender chicken (or steak) paired with onions, peppers, mushrooms, and melted cheese on French bread. This seemingly simple dish impresses with its robust flavors and perfect harmony of taste, texture, and blend. It’s not your typical Philly. I would put this sandwich up against some of the local staples back in Philadelphia. --- Fig and Bacon: A standout dish, the Fig and Bacon grilled chicken sandwich on toasted sourdough is topped with applewood smoked bacon, whipped goat cheese, smoked gouda, and housemade fig marmalade. The fusion of sweet, savory, and creamy textures creates a truly exceptional culinary experience. My only small criticism is to be careful with the goat cheese. There were bites of the sandwich where the goat cheese overpowered all the other flavors. --- Side Options: Sandwiches come with a choice of chips or coleslaw, with upgrades available like Sweet Potato Fries, Mac N’ Cheese, Grilled Asparagus, and Fried Plantains. Do not just pass by the homemade chips, crafted with the same dedication to quality and freshness evident in every aspect of the menu. --- For those seeking a lunch spot that redefines classic dishes with innovative twists and exceptional quality, this local gem, open for lunch and dinner, promises a dining experience beyond the ordinary.“

“My family and I have been to several MM locations and this is the best one by far. Pizza is incredible, our favorite location.“

“Well, I drank some beers, and then I had a few more. Then I stumbled out yonder to the food truck and got me a little bit to eat. Then, I was ready to drink another couple of brews. So I did just that. Then I walked somewhere else and did similar things that were fun and exciting to me like jai alai or chess. I'm longing for a strategic game of Twister at the moment. Have fun, be safe, and drink cold beers like a Boss.“

“I had a to go order from peppers the food is great however I was missing an item from my order. Josh who I believe is a cook from peppers offered to drive me my missing order. It was so thoughtful and fantastic customer service. 10/10 recommend and shoutout Josh.“

“This courtyard hotel is a bit nicer then the standard courtyards. The lobby is clean and new with lots of nice sitting spots. We were upgraded to a room with a balcony (gold elite). The staff was very helpful, our room seemed newer as well. Good location near ASU and lots of stores and restaurants within a short drive.“
