“Came into Boone for dinner after hiking. We decided to eat here at The Local. Had Brussels Sprouts as an appetizer, which was pretty good, and the Steak and Frites, it was pretty good also. Waitress was awesome, very attentive! Great atmosphere. Would recommend!“
“Wow, this place is amazing! I can't get enough of it. I've been here twice already and I'm definitely coming back for more. The pizzas are out of this world and I've already tried five different types - they were all so delicious! I can't wait to come back and try their burgers next time.“
“Everything about this place is wonderful! It's beautiful inside and outside. The coffee is so stinkin' good! The glazed donut was better than any I've ever had and my British husband said their cheddar and herb biscuit finally tastes like the scones he remembers. I wish we lived closer because we'd be here all the time.“
“We always come here for bread on our trips to Boone! Most of their breads are vegan. They have an allergy guide on their website so you can plan ahead of time. They also normally have 1-2 vegan sweets. A couple of years ago they had a vegan chocolate cake and it was so good!!!“
“My favorite breakfast in Boone! Their bagels are always fresh and delicious, their drinks are tasty, and I absolutely love their breakfast potatoes. My boyfriend lives out of town, and when he comes to visit, we always have to come here. I like to get the Asiago bagel, and he's a fan of the Everything but the Kitchen Sink sandwich. Have been here several times and am never disappointed.“
“If you’re craving cookies this is the place to go! You’ll get hot, fresh out the oven cookies in unique flavors. I tried the cookie butter, Yosef, (apple, cinnamon, oats, pecans, coconut, chocolate chips) honey PB, and snickerdoodle flavors and loved them all!“
“Great food and very reasonable prices. You order when you walk in then pay. They deliver the order to your table. Simple surroundings but you can't beat the food. I had the nachos with black beans and chicken. The wife had a chicken burrito. We rated them excellent. Highly recommend.“
“Great food! The burger I had was fantastic and my wife’s biscuits and gravy looked amazing. You get a good amount of food and I love how local so much of the menu is. We came in right at noon and had no wait to sit down! Great eating in downtown Boone.“
“Very interesting mix of cuisines and I think everything worked really well. I'm not sure if it was a fluke or not but almost everything on the plates were seasoned with the house seasoning and it was extremely salty. Still edible but too much coming from someone who has a very high tolerance for salt as it is. If it wasn't for this, I would have rated it higher.“
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt • $
“Delicious frozen yogurt! Great place to bring your kids, friends, or to just enjoy their yummy yogurt by yourself! The staff are so friendly and welcoming and it’s a delightful shop. The yogurt is reasonably priced and there is always a nice selection of flavors and toppings. Awesome establishment! ?“
“I treated my friend's and my family out for lunch during our vacation stay. I chose this restaurant based on the food pictures from previous customers' reviews.Pros:1. I recommend their signature French onion soup which I ended up ordering two bowls to share with everyone.2. My group enjoyed the artichoke dip with crusty toasted bread.3. I ordered the Cajun style pasta which wasn't served for lunch but the restaurant accommodated my request and allowed me to order that. The pasta was delicious!4. I ordered four creme brulee and it was well liked by the majority of the group.5. Our server was very friendly and attentive to our needs.Cons:1. I mainly cane for the grilled chicken breast with baked potato entree but it wasn't available for lunch.2. I ordered the salmon salad which was okay. Salmon wasnt that tender and medium rare but still manageable to chew and swallow.3. Lobster bisque wasn't that great. We hardly tasted any lobster. It was just too yellowy cheesy and creamy without the lobster taste.4. Not many people in my group liked the pimento cheese with veggies.5. "Grandma" complained that the booth smelled unpleasant like some kind of cleaning chemical that she refused to sit in.6. Dining table was very icky and sticky, that seems to be cleaned better.Overall, I highly recommend the French onion soup and their pasta dish.“
Japanese • $$
“Always good. Basic chef, no entertainment, but that’s just a piece of the whole experience.Vegetarian options: I get vegetables, which are cooked on the same grill but steamed to the side. You can’t be too picky here so I don’t recommend if you have very strict food guidelines.Kid-friendliness: Especially when the chef is an entertainer, this is the best place. There is usually a fire flash that surprises most small kids but only lasts a second.“
“The coffee was exceptional! We had a vanilla latte and cinnamon roll, both tasted high quality. We also tried the banana bread, a scone, and a bacon cheese biscuit. The banana bread was a little bland but everything else was great! Service was very friendly.“
