My wife and I visited Over Yonder on an anniversary trip to the mountains and left seeing the potential of the restaurant but feeling very unimpressed. We arrived after dark and while it was raining but the scenery and the outside of the house itself were still very impressive! When we opened the door the girl behind the hostess stand finished what she was doing on the computer before acknowledging us and while it was only a few seconds it definitely wasn't the most welcoming way to start the evening. After we were seated it took several minutes before our waitress came over, which was fine because there was already ice water and menus on the table, but I was beginning to worry about the rest of the night. We also had to ask to have the fireplace turned on and while I understand not leaving them on all night unless its extremely cold outside it would have been nice if the waitress asked us if we wanted it on since it was winter and our table was right in front of it. For dinner my wife had the meatloaf and I had the chicken fried chicken. Both were good and the sides were delicious, except the mashed potatoes which were bland and lukewarm. Overall we were happy with the food but it wasn't worth the price even considering the location and atmosphere. Unfortunately the night ended on a bad note as our waitress did not return for 15 min after leaving us with the desert menu. A party with 46 people had arrived in a private room and while this certainly explains what happened it does not excuse it. My wife and I weren't in a hurry so we didn't get up to track down another waitress or anything like that, but even when our waitress returned she offered no apology. We really wanted to like Over Yonder because the setting is spectacular but we probably won't be back.
2. Maw’s Produce

Maw’s Produce is close to Boone, North Carolina (between Boone and Grandfather Mountain) on Highway 105 in a tiny town called Foscoe. It's open May thru December. Hugely popular with the locals. They offer locally grown fruits and vegetables, homemade relishes (try the artichoke relish to spice up sandwiches, goat cheese, etc), homemade cheese, cakes, pies, jams, biscuits and breads. I took home to St Louis some jams, pickled beets, tomatoes, and peaches. Friends are demanding that I bring more home next time I visit western North Carolina. I will!

We ordered some sandwiches and wraps for lunch to take on a picnic to grandfather mountain. Very tasty and filling. Lots of meat on all of our sandwiches. Highly recommend!
4. COBO Sushi Bistro & Bar

We stopped here because our 11 year old daughter got to pick- she chose well! We thoroughly enjoyed everything we ate. I highly recommend the duck- it was insanely good! The calamari was excellent and the rest of the family loved their sushi. We tried to eat here, again, but a water main break caused some of the locals to close because of possible water contamination. We will definitely be dining here next time we are in town!
5. Our Daily Bread Delicatessen

This place has too many appealing choices on the menu. I finally settled on a chicken salad sandwich on whole wheat with southern potato salad. My son chose the Philly cheese steak. My sandwich was very good, but his sandwich was delicious. When we return, I am ordering the Philly cheese. The potato salad was average. I am not sure where they got "southern" potato salad. I am from the South and it definitely did not measure up to what I am accustomed.

Melanie's is a tradition in downtown Boone serving breakfast and lunch seven days a week. We source all of our bread, eggs and burgers locally as well as other items when we can. We have an eclectic and creative menu serving food made from scratch. We are sensitive to vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free diners.

This is a quant little breakfast spot with a wonderful staff. The food is amazing!! The bourbon pecan french toast was unbelievably good!! As was the sausage gravy and biscuits. My son said his bacon, egg, and cheese was one of the best he's ever had. The breads are what make the meals so much better than the typical breakfast place. Highly recommend the eggs Benedict and the Trucker's breakfast.

Had a delicious meal here while on Boone. We ordered cocktails, appetizer, entree and dessert and loved it all. Service was decent as well.
The bread they served with their hummus plate was amazing-even by itself it would have been good. The specialty margarita (had mango in it) was delicious.
We all ordered burgers. Simple but it hit the spot. The fries were sort of meh but we subbed Mac and cheese for one fry and that was our favorite part.
We will definitely be returning.
