“Just simple decor, but staff n food simply the best...for a friendly, wholesome, tasty meal at a reasonable price.”

“Lily’s is so important and delightful! Love their vibes and their commitment to community. Not to mention their tater wedges 🥰”

“My wife and I had the Dragon bowl and the Acerola smoothie. Both were absolutely delicious! The bowls were bigger than others we have had in the area and the fruit was so fresh that I thought they were growing it in the back! Jessica and Mike are the best and they are so welcoming that you feel like you have known them for years. Next time, and there will be MANY more next times, I'm going to add cacao nibs. I think the chocolate would add another mood boosting layer to my already insanely healthy breakfast. This kept me going all the way to lunch and I even skipped coffee! I can't wait to go back to Seaboard Station Palm Berries and try the next bowl.”

“I came to visit Know Better Coffee in Mountain City TN. I am from Michigan but I have to leave a review!! I’m so glad to have walked into a place where you immediately feel peace, hospitality, and comfort. It was like visiting family there!! Next, I got two drinks (one to go), plus, muffins, and two bags of whole bean coffee - all was high quality and amazing! The uplifting handwritten note on my coffee cup just really made me smile! 😊 I highly recommend this place. I wish I could get shipments of the coffee to Michigan. Go visit if yall are in the area! It’s worth it.”

“Hands down BEST ICE CREAM AROUND! 10/10 worth checking out!! I have been the crochet vendor for them for the past year and I absolutely love every single thing about their shop! Amazing people, delicious Ice cream, a must try!!(:”

“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.”

“Amazing salads, sandwiches, and desserts!”

“Food was incredible, lots of options, tasted great”

“Hatchet Coffee has a way of feeling instantly familiar, even if you’re not sure you’ve been before. On our second trip to Boone, we pulled up to the café and were struck by that déjà vu sense of comfort an immediate excitement that confirmed we’d found one of the High Country’s true gems. This was our second visit, and once again Hatchet proved itself to be among the best coffee purveyors in the region. The line was long, but the anticipation only added to the ritual; after all, we had a 45-minute drive ahead to Grandfather Mountain, and good coffee was non-negotiable. At the counter, the staff embodied the kind of hospitality that makes a place unforgettable. The cashier was warm and attentive, quick to ask questions when she didn’t have an answer, and genuinely excited to help. I had come to swap ground beans for whole, and while the exchange wasn’t possible, they graciously sent me home with a bag of Brazilian beans instead a gesture that spoke volumes about their passion and care. Despite the bustle, the wait was brief, and the atmosphere remained convivial. One of the baristas even struck up a conversation with me about my jacket, a small but meaningful interaction that elevated the experience beyond the cup. Hatchet Coffee is more than a café it’s a community hub, a place where quality and connection meet. With its exceptional brews, thoughtful staff, and welcoming spirit, it’s the kind of spot you’ll find yourself returning to again and again.”

“Me and my husband came for the first time yesterday . The coffee is very good !”

“My family and I have been to several MM locations and this is the best one by far. Pizza is incredible, our favorite location.”

“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”

“Had the pink drink with tapioca boba. Was great! :)”

“This organization is doing AMAZING things for the Boone community - from reducing food waste and providing anyone who needs it a meal (which, BTW, is delicious and creative - something you might expect to find at a fancy restaurant) to providing the perfect setting for genuine, neighbor-to-neighbor meaningful connections. I highly recommend making this your go-to lunch spot, volunteering your time (or a few dollars if you're able), and spreading the word about what this incredible, selfless team is doing. You are doing wonderful work in the community and I am so grateful there are folks like you in this world!!!”

“I love going to Betty’s Biscuits! It has become one of my favorite places to go while in downtown Boone. The service has always been fabulous, I love the vibe, and the food is delicious. A great spot to meet up with friends or bring the family for a memorable outing! 💛”

“Having gluten free options is one thing but having Celiac safe (no cross contamination) options makes a trip excellent! I was so thankful to have a safe place to eat out with friends while visiting the local area for an event!”

“Food and service was excellent and they have a great selection of craft beers. The Boonerang definitely hit the spot. They're also dog friendly, providing water bowls and fresh water which we truly appreciated for our pup.”

“I usually don’t write reviews because…oh, well…time, life…but for Local Lion coffee shop I want to do it because it’s one of the places that truly deserves all the praises. Me and my family are not doughnut fans by any means, we eat a doughnut maybe once a year. We are coffee lovers though (me and my husband, not the kids, lol). However, I got a craving of a doughnut and decided to look for a place that has doughnuts, while being in vacation (we live in Charlotte but we were visiting Blowing Rock/Boone area recently) and found Local Lion on the map. I am so glad I did! The coffee was good, we also bought some custom tea blends from them that are exquisite and the doughnuts were excellent. Something so delicious…I will be dreaming of them for a while and I will definitely go back. Plus the kindness of the people working there…everything makes that place worth checking it out. They didn’t sponsored me or nothing, it’s just a happy customer review.”

“A little off of the beaten path, but well worth the effort. Tucked and hidden on a back road in the middle of Boone, NC, you will not be disappointed when visiting this local Gem. From the moment you open the door, you step back in time. Smells of robust and fresh coffee, homemade biscuits and friendly faces give you a comforting sense of nostalgia, all while you are set at ease in a relaxing and easygoing atmosphere. Tables filled with smiling and satisfied faces of local businesses owners, college students and old timers alike. Family owned and operated, you will pleasantly be surprised as you meet Brenda, Ashley, Alexis and Mary of course, all lending a generous and welcoming hand as you engage with four generations. Naturally you are made to feel right at home as they collaborate effortlessly on every detail during your dining experience, without missing a beat. Hash-browns were perfectly seasoned and crisped to perfection. The omelette was light fluffy and filled with a fresh balance of veggies, protein and cheese. All paired with a warm and bold cup of joe. Definitely make this a frequent breakfast location for you and yours. After all, there are very few places that have consistently remained the same for so many years without the need to change anything at all.”

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