“Mint is the best restaurant in the Boone/Blowing Rock area! The food is fantastic, most ingredients from India. Cucumber salad and hot cauliflower appetizer, the saag options are all amazing. The service is attentive, friendly and professional. Aman is the best. He remembers us and makes us feel special plus he makes the most delicious drink - Mango Mojito. Atmosphere is nice, and to top it all off it’s a great value.“

“Best start of a day. Watching the cooks work together as a team and all waitresses just buzzing food all amazing. Thank u Wendy. Top pick for eating out“

“Love their country sourdough. Best spot for brekky and lunch. The almond croissant is so good, it may qualify as a gateway drug. LOL. Super staff and one of my faves.“

“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.“

“I asked the pink haired cashier to pick out 6 of her favorite cookies for me to try and they did not disappoint. Cookies taste rich but have a light, airy quality that are absurdly delicious. Favorite was the strawberry cheesecake cookie but all were great. More on me for not realizing and not a big deal but understand that they are baked to order so expect to wait while they are in the oven. Trust me they are worth it.“

“my favorite place to be!!“

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

“This organization is doing AMAZING things for the Boone community - from reducing food waste and providing anyone who needs it a meal (which, BTW, is delicious and creative - something you might expect to find at a fancy restaurant) to providing the perfect setting for genuine, neighbor-to-neighbor meaningful connections. I highly recommend making this your go-to lunch spot, volunteering your time (or a few dollars if you're able), and spreading the word about what this incredible, selfless team is doing. You are doing wonderful work in the community and I am so grateful there are folks like you in this world!!!“

“I had put it upon myself to celebrate and dance endlessly with profound happiness to appreciate Mr Ralph Carico for the great job done. I started trading with Ralph Carico and watched my profits grows on a daily basis with his amazing skills And good brokerage, I made a withdrawal without being charged a fee. I'm really indebted and Grateful for your good work and service“

“This is THE place to stop every time you’re in Boone. Husband and I had the bison burger, waygu burger, fries & fried okra. Literally everything we ate was the best food I’ve ever had at a restaurant. The bison burger had avocado, salsa verde, and red onions. It was such a beautiful balance. And the atmosphere was a 10/10. Can’t wait to go back.“

“they are so so polite and nice there; the bouncers are so unbelievably friendly and understanding, EVEN when doing their job. it’s so appreciated and they go above and beyond and don’t go out of their way to be mean or cruel. even when asking people to leave! it’s very respectful and professional i’ve never seen anything like it“

“Nina was our server.... she was friendly, interesting to talk with and attentive to our needs. Breakfast was fantastic ! Ordered the 501 special and everything was cooked perfectly. Highly recommend.“

“Hands down the best philly cheesesteak my husband and I have ever eaten! My husband, mother-in-law, dad, son, and of course myself all love this place! The staff is always so friendly and the food is always piping hot. We absolutely love their fries and cookies as well. Their cookies are extremely soft and just so very yummy! This place blows mediocre Subway and Jimmy John's out of the water!! The location of this place is a little odd and hidden, so when we come upon it, we were so happy we did. My only complaint is how expensive it can become, though. You don't get a side or a drink with the actual sandwich, so that is the part where it becomes expensive. A small sandwich with extra cheese, small fry, and
1 fountain drink, it is $15.87 (with tax included). But, it is well worth the over an hour drive and $ to enjoy this place.“

“yummy a little pricey soup bowl delicious need to clean up tables had to clean ours none was clean“

“Great food and service. Appetizers are a must!“

“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.“

“The food was delicious and big portions! We loved the apple butter! The wait time was not too bad. We walked in downtown Boone and took Fall photos on Saturday and we shopped a little the next morning while we will waited. We will definitely go back when we visit Boone again.“

“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.“

“The owner is dedicated to making sure the food is the best quality and in making sure you have a positive customer experience.“

“SHOUT OUT for your most recent 100 A rating! Proper, located at 142 Burrell Street in Boone, received an “A” grade and a final score of 100 on a recent inspection. Top notch and one of the BEST in BOONE! Everything I've ever had here has been incredible. Kudos Angela!“

“My husband and I started coming here a lot recently and have always been happy. Every person on staff is kind and the food is very good.“

“Very good west coast style IPA, called Booneshine IPA. Good food menu as well. Except French onion soup, don't get it. It comes without cheese on top and the toasted bread on the side has something other than butter on it, nasty tasting.“

“Great food! We split the Philly steak sandwich and wings. Both were great! Our bartender Chelsea, was fantastic, we never waited or had to get her attention; great service and she was personable and managed the full bar without an issue. NFL! We were traveling, stopped in to catch a Steeler game and they were televising all NFL games. We recommend and would come back.“

“I was very disappointed. Usually their pizza is excellent this was over cooked and not well made. We ordered it from a delivery service have my granddaughter got a flat bread pizza that she couldn’t even eat she said it was disgusting. Just a suggestion maybe you want to use the mini chocolate chips in your cannolis I think they would be much better than trying to eat the big ones with the cheese mixture. At least they were good. Their house vinaigrette was very good at least I enjoyed the salad!“

“the best BBQ in the area.“

“Dinner here never disappoints. We could cut our filets with a fork!! So tender. The amazing staff is so accommodating and the owner a part of every meal experience!“

“One of our favorite Boone restaurants, the food is always delicious. Service is always friendly and efficient. Omar our most recent visit, we were disappointed that our main dishes came out at different times, with the last not arriving until 5-10 minutes after the other three plates. Would still return, the cabin-like atmosphere is nice and relaxing!“

“Some of the best Tom Kha ever! I’m still dreaming about it.“

“Our waitress was very nice, and checked on us several times. The other employee's was loud, and obnoxious. They was throwing dishes around, fusing about who was gonna leave next, the manager totaled our bill and didn't make eye contact with us at all. She never looked up.“

“flavor crust, stuffed crust, dessert pizza“

“Delicious food-with kid-friendly options.Very good service, waitress was kind and patient with our family.We had a great experience and would definitely come back!??

Dietary restrictions: They were attentive and considerate of our child with a peanut allergy.

Kid-friendliness: Good options on the menu for children.“

“I was happy with my Sedona bowl. it was good. my biggest issue it was, it claimed the ball was vegan, but I happened to find a possum bone in it.“

“We decided to introduce my girlfriend's mother and stepfather to Makoto's last night (12/29/2024) because we always enjoy our visits there. While waiting for our table in the bar area some very rude customers decided to bully a local customer that ended with her being very upset. Katrina, Stephen and Landon (I hope I have their names correct) went above and beyond to ensure this young lady was protected and taken care of. Not only is the service, food and atmosphere amazing, we will continue to visit Makoto's because of the actions these individuals took to protect a customer.“

“We arrived in the later morning and we're seated immediately. Our waitress was cordial and very attentive throughout our meal. Drinks were refilled promptly and ordering was quick with helpful questions and recommendations to make our breakfast complete. The food was prepared as ordered and it was delicious. We had enough leftovers to bring home for another breakfast. We have found Cracker Barrel to be consistently good wherever we travel.“

“Logan, my new son, is awesome!!“
