25 Best American Restaurants in Boone

“Michael was PHENOMENLAL. His service was amazing. We spilled a beer and he quickly brought out a new one. He kept checking on us and was super helpful without being rude. Honestly one of the best restaurant experiences we have ever had. The entire staff we interacted with was very inviting, and super nice. We have been there before and will definitely return.“

“Good food. good service. clean floors and restrooms, there's never a problem. They offer drinks from the fountain or your canned favorites like Coke. free refills from, if you prefer, you can just have water from the fountain everyone's friendly and helpful. I'd give it five out of five stars“

“During a one-week stay in the area with my family, we chose to dine at The Table at Crestwood based on its reputation and pricing, expecting a more elevated overall experience.
The ambiance is pleasant, with a nice setting and attractive views, but ultimately nothing memorable or distinctive enough to justify the positioning or cost. The food was acceptable, yet uninspiring. For the price point, we expected more refinement, creativity, and depth of flavor. The menu itself is very limited, offering few choices, which further amplifies expectations, unfortunately, those expectations were not met.
The service was friendly, and the staff was courteous; however, the experience lacked polish and professionalism. The service felt casual and inconsistent with what one would expect from a restaurant in this price range.
The wine list is minimal, with very few compelling selections, and the bar program is underwhelming. Cocktails and offerings feel basic, again falling short of what the pricing and setting suggest.
Overall, this is an okay dining experience, but not one that aligns with its cost or reputation. With stronger culinary execution, a more thoughtful menu and wine selection, and improved service standards, it could meet expectations, but in its current state, it does not.“

“Stopped in for a beer and a burger. Intrepid Coat IPA is fantastic! And the Smashburger and salad are delicious. Highly recommend!“

“I was looking for a great cheeseburger 🍔 and Cardinal Food & Spirits didn't disappoint. Fresh & Delicious. I asked if they could make my burger with pickles and special sauce and they were accommodating. I highly recommend them if you're ever in Boone, NC.“

WOW! I am soooooo glad we did! Their cheesecakes are AMAZING!!!!!!!
We got 3 desserts to try!
Carrot Cake 7/10
Chocolate Cheesecake 8/10
Pepper’s Mud Pie 10/10
After eating the Pepper’s Mud Pie, we wished we would have gotten 3 of them!“

“Some of the best if not the best food I have ever eaten! Would drive from Arkansas to eat there. Oh, I did! Staff was outstanding. Would highly recommend.“

“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.“

“Chef Luna and her team do an amazing job! Ignore the reviews about elevator rides (doesn’t have one) and it being overpriced. The food is comforting and locale is unbeatable for BRMC. I look forward to bringing all my guests there to get the full BRMC experience.“

“We ate lunch with our friend here today. We sat on the patio with our German Shepherd. The staff was so friendly. The drinks and food were amazing. My gf is gluten free and she really loved the menu. My sweet potato enchilada was so delicious. We can’t wait to come back the next time we are in town:)“

“This place is truly a 10 out of 10. From our server Rhonda, to the delicious appetizer, great wine, entrees were fantastic and ended with a sumptuous desert. Thank you so much“

“Loved the atmosphere here! Very family and pet friendly spot. Good drink selection and a lot of different food options. Our waiter was also super cool and helpful. I’m also not a huge fan of loud atmospheres where the music is too loud and you can’t even have a conversation but this was a perfect environment!“

“Absolutely amazing!! The food is outstanding (get the wings.. and the club sandwich!!) we couldn’t be more impressed with this place.“

“We had a party of 10 come in 08/10/25 with no reservation. We had to wait about 20 minutes, our server was Wendy. She was AMAZING. She was so nice, patient, kind to my grandkids. This woman was running the bar, washing dishes and being a waitress. She needs a HUGE bonus because she did ALL this with a smile and such a kind voice. I really hope the owners see this message.“
