I’ve really tried to avoid leaving negative reviews in the Boone restaurant scene (as it is very easy to do), but I’m so I upset with the most recent experience I had here and feel it’s necessary. It takes a lot for me to write a bad review. First I’ll say the food is fine (except for one occasion - stay tuned for details). Service up until today has been okay. I came in with my husband and 1 year old for lunch. We were told it would be a 20-30 minute wait. A few mins after we put our name down, the hostess sat another couple who came in after us almost immediately - **No they hadn’t put their name down before us nor did they have a reservation as I had overheard them determining if they wanted to wait for a table or not. Initially, I didn’t overthink it and assumed it had to do with spacing and highchair availability. Granted the couple who came after us didn’t have a baby, but we only needed a high chair and very clearly could have been seated at the table the couple ended up getting. I’ve come here before in a similar situation (when all other tables were full) and we were seated at one of those smaller 2 person tables with our baby. I’m pretty sure it had nothing to do with capacity and everything to do with the hostess’s discretion and possibly discrimination because we had our infant with us. I had only recognized this after about 30 minutes of already waiting. When I asked the hostess why she had sat that couple before us and why we couldn’t have had that table, she said she didn’t think we’d fit and she “didn’t want him (our baby) to hit his head” in relation to a party of eight sitting nearby. I have no idea what she was referring to especially since we sat at this 2 person table with our infant previously when other tables were completely full. Then I realized she was waiting on one particular table to finish where she wanted to sit us. If I had known the hostess was waiting for one particular table to finish, I would have ordered to go upon arrival. We ended up ordering the food to go at that point because we couldn’t wait any longer with a busy, hungry and fussy infant. My sandwich was good. However, I ordered the soup as a side and while I was eating it pulled a piece of plastic out of my mouth (The type you peel off of a store-bought soup or other food container). In most scenarios when a foreign object like this ends up in my food, I typically remove it and do not care as much, however, I was sharing the soup with my baby, and the plastic was a choking hazard, therefore I couldn’t continue feeding it to my baby. The only reason I’m giving 2 stars is because 2/4 visits have been mediocre at best, and the other 2 have been extremely disappointing/frustrating. I also hate to do this because this seemed to be one of the few decently good places here.
Here is my food review for my to go order on 10/12/2025 which is related to the photos. I ordered what seemed to be a cross between a shepherds pie and a pot pie. Instead of incorporating the ground beef for maximum flavor in the pie mixture they lazily cut or ripped up a burger patty and tossed it on top. The burger was dry and tasteless. I will try most foods, don’t usually care too much about how they look and focus more on how they taste, but for $19 this was a disgrace.

I went for lunch with wife and kid. The server was really nice and helpful. The food is outstanding. We had the Baja Burrito which was fantastic (needed some salt on the rice) and the Mahi Tacos were excellent. Even the kid’s burger was and actual burger not just a frozen patty. Definitely a place to try if your out and about.

Absolutely delicious food and staff was very friendly! Vegan friendly which was very appreciated! I ordered the brontosaurus sandwich, and immediately after I demolished it, I felt like I turned into a dinosaur. Will definitely be eating here again, and this is an experience I think everyone must have at least once!

Service was great. Food choices were too limited and too expensive. Patio is noisy from cars right next to you to the patrons’ dogs in the patio area. Dogs shouldn’t be allowed here. The noise and car exhaust ruin the atmosphere and a barking dog puts it over the top. Kids meal is a joke.

Four of us had dinner. I had Garam Masala Curry which was fantastic. I left the protein off and still barely finished it. Honey Amber beer was great. Nice small bar if you just want a drink. Cool little joint. I loved it.
