Ok, TApp Room, you have a new crush!
On a recent trip to Boone for ASU Alumni Day, the Alumni Association held a get together here. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I had scoped out the menu online & was really impressed with all the offerings.
Our college-aged waitress was really friendly & efficient. She checked on us a few times and was never overbearing.
I settled for the Crispin Cider to drink (AMAZING) & the Asian Fusion burger with fries. Within 10 minutes, my meal came out. The burger was HUGE. I wish there were words to describe how delicious this burger was. The burger was juicy & the red onion, sriricha sauce, cucumber, & avocado toppings really set it off! The fries were hot & crisp.
The bar isn't huge, but I love that it's filled with ASU pictures & memorabilia. They have plenty of TVs that of course had basketball games & ESPN.
Wow... Â I mean, this could be one of the best surprises I've had in a while...
We were in town for a basketball tournament and looking for a place to watch the Carolina/Duke game when I came across another stellar review of this place from a fellow Yelper... The specials for the day stretched from food to beverage and offered a few good choices... The group I was with tried a lot of different bites and drinks...
Drinks: Â The whiskey sour my boyfriend's sister and aunt had were good... I tried the beer flight for around $5... I had the North Coast Prangster, French Broad 13 Rebels and the Anderson Valley Winter Solstice... I loved them all...
Food: Â The beer pretzel appetizer comes with two huge, full sized pretzels and mustard... They were crispy on the outisde, soft on the inside and piping hot with just the right amount of salt... The queso that you can order on the side has a simply divine spiciness... It was packed one heck of a wallop... Loved it! Â I ordered the BBQ sandwich and I was incredibly happy with my decision... The sauce was a little zesty and there was just a perfect amount of sauce... It didn't make the bread soggy, but the pork wasn't dry at all... Â Instead of the fries, I ordered the potato chips and they were simultaneously crisp and chewy in all the best ways... My boyfriend's sister got the wings and they were well-done on the outside and properly sauced... She enjoyed them thoroughly... Â My boyfriend got the buffalo chicken wrap which he said was good, but the fries were meh, according to him...
Service: Â The service was okay for me, but others in my group had a few gripes... While the server was basically on target for me, my boyfriend said his beer was empty for quite a while... Also, the busboy came by and picked up my boyfriend's aunt's glass before asking if she was done with it... It almost did not end well for him... lol Â
I will definitely be back the next time I'm in the area...
Great location across the street from Appalachian State's campus. Nothing too quirky or outlandish about this bar, just a good location, friendly staff, great vibe, and good beer selection. A few nice TVs make it a great place to catch the game. I went in on a Sunday afternoon (non-NFL) and they had an Italian soccer match on Fox Soccer, which means there's more where that came from. Hard to find up in the Boonies. Definitely worth your visit!
