This has always and will always be my favorite bar in Boone! The food is always amazing, the drinks taste so good, and the atmosphere is always so fun. I genuinely think lily’s will be the thing I’ll miss the most about Boone when I leave 😭😭
Let me tell you incredible this place and the staff are, especially Trevor We stopped in, after just riding around on a Saturday. Now to preface, my wife has some food allergies, and going out to eat is always hit or miss (mostly miss). She had no real expectations on being able to really eat anything. Trevor was the only person working both the bar and the dining areas. When he came over, and we told him about her allergies, he went SOOOO far above and beyond, to make sure she had something to eat, it was unbelievable Trevor went back and forth with the kitchen staff to ensure that she had an awesome meal and that there was no cross contamination. We RARELY go to a restaurant (much less a snack bar) that is this attentive. She was so extremely appreciative for being taken care of so well. Lily's is a true gem of Boone. Great food, awesome atmosphere and the best staff. Thank you Trevor!!!

The lavender limeade and spicy tofu sandwich were literally the best things I’ve ever eaten. Coming back for a second day. It was that good

Edit after owners response: Left 3 stars with this original review below. This reaction to a three-star review because your food is obviously a third more expensive than most dive bars around town, your response made me pull back two stars because you know what you don't need to get so personal about it trying to tell me to come in and look at your books? Just look at the restaurant right next door and see that I can get a burger with fries included for 13 bucks. It's not all that complicated you say you don't compare yourself to others around town well anybody that's going to come into your bar is going to do that when they're going to order some food unless they're just drunk and don't care and have a lot of money. I appreciate your long-winded response but actually I don't. You're charging almost more than boonshine brewery who has a fancy staff with exponential burgers that are way better than any dive bar including your own. The food you serve is not worth charging people $16 for a sandwich and then trying to charge them an extra $3for fries? Your food is no better than river street grill who as well will sell you sandwich with fires or tots for under $13. You're just a clicky expensive drive bar so slow down with your long winded response trying to tell me to come in and check your books. It's not that good and you're just expensive so no I'm not going to come in and sit down with you and look at your books I'm just a customer who will now not come back in because of your arrogant response so defensive about a three-star review. Good luck selling $19 plates in a dive bar when your food is mediocre. I'm done with this and your bar
My original 3 star review: Great atmosphere, love the LGBTI acceptance. But ... Your prices are a little out of control. $16 for a handheld with chips then another $2 for fries.. come on. That's a third more than any other dive bars around town. PBR even is twice as much as taproom next door. Y'all need to calm down with those prices but hey if your base keeps paying why not 😅 I'll only be back for special events not for food or casual drinking

YOU HAVE TO COME HERE!!! This is hands down the single greatest bar I have ever been to in my entire life. Cam and Madi were so welcoming and also they make thee best drinks. My partner and I were visiting from out of town and we ended up making some wonderful friendships here. We loved them and this place so much we literally stayed another night just to come back to Lily’s!!! We will definitely be coming back to Boone to come here again!!!

Words cannot express how happy I am that me and my partner came to Lily’s. What was supposed to be a one night trip in Boone turned into a two night because of the kindest people that I met here. HUGE shoutout to Cam and Madi, those two made this experience the most memorable trip and I am so very lucky to have met them.
Great place to stop for drinks and food while on vacation. We loved the atmosphere of this place. The loaded fries were some of the best bar food I've had outside Louisiana!

I eat here whenever I'm in Boone. Cool atmosphere and lots of vegan options. Also a good outdoor seating area. We ordered the chicken sandwich sub fried tofu and the chef and server came out to tell us the bun wasn't vegan and offered to put it on a pita. We did that and it was great, as were the brussel sprouts.
This has always and will always be my favorite bar in Boone! The food is always amazing, the drinks taste so good, and the atmosphere is always so fun. I genuinely think lily’s will be the thing I’ll miss the most about Boone when I leave 😭😭
