A Hidden Gem in Boone! Wild Craft Eatery is a cozy, welcoming spot with a refreshingly eclectic menu that offers something for everyone — especially vegans and vegetarians. The food is creative and flavorful, with a focus on fresh, local ingredients. My favorite dish on the menu was the Thai yellow curry ! It was really flavorful warm and like a hug on a plate! The all-women staff is warm, hard-working, and made us feel right at home. It feels like a women-owned business, and the care shows in every detail. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in Boone!

Amazing food & service! Habana Plate & the C. Maya Asian noodles were phenomenal. Another person also had the mahi tacos and loved them. Delish desserts too! Didn't eat outside due to the smell of weed.

Food quality / price (value) rating 10. The atmosphere is eclectic, and they have a wonderful outdoor seating area. The menu is a wide ranging mix of extraordinarily well chosen dishes, all of which have unique twists you won't find anywhere else! I had the Grilled Cheese Extraordinaire with bacon that came on a perfectly grilled locally baked bread. It was quite likely the nest grilled cheese I've ever had. A cup of spicy homemade sweet potato corn chowder came with it, and was a perfect accent to go with the grilled cheese. They have a full bar and a wide variety of canned and bottled beers. Their specialty cocktails include several unique and original recipes, including a special method that freezes water at the bottom of the cocktail glass where it remains while you drink your cocktail - very clever and original. We finished our meal with a couple of house made blueberry sugar cookies that were fantastic! The manager, Carrie, was very attentive answering our questions and informative regarding the food and its preparation and local sourcing. Our server, Kacya, was also attentive with the service we were given. The prices were right, and the portions were generous. This restaurant deserves a rare rave review.

I went here a few years ago and I was wildly underwhelmed. However, I have been a couple times in the past few months and it has been amazing every time. I suggest the Chaing Maya or Veganista!

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:)
The Watauga farm burger was perfectly cooked and seasoned! The Baja Mahi tacos were LEGIT! Wait staff was very responsive and friendly! Definitely worth the visit and will DEFINITELY be back!!

Loved the TEMPEH RUBEN! I've missed rubens since going vegetarian, so anytime I find a vegetarian Ruben, I have to try it. I'm so glad I did here. The tomato was quite a twist on this classic that added a whole new level of flavor. Loved the atmosphere as well.

We’ve been eating here for 14 years and cannot do a Boone weekend without at least one visit!! Entire menu is unique, delicious, and won’t hurt your wallet. From trying one of a kind vegetarian farm to table dishes or an amazing local beef burger, everyone will be happy! Tempeh Gouda tacos and Sweet potato enchiladas are our favorites.
Since Boone is a small town, there aren't many "healthy options", I say this even though I realize almost every restaurant does have healthy options, but there aren't many solely centered on eating healthier. So this restaurant is a blessing in that not only does it have healthy food but it is absolutely delicious! In particular, the cheese you get with the nacho dip is spectacular, I've had their mahi tacos which were cooked to perfection with just enough spice to make it hot but not drown out the flavor. They also have probably one of the best burgers I've had in a while with some amazing spicy mayo and chopped tomatoes and onions on a beautifully cooked medium well Burger. The inside Ambiance is very tranquil and the outdoors has a good view of downtown along with it being dog friendly is a great bonus.
