Red Onion Cafe

The menu covers a broad amount of dishes. I have had the Artichoke & Spinach Quesadilla and the Portobello Wrap which were both delicious. The Artichoke & Spinach Quesadilla was huge, there were two quesadillas! The Portobello Wrap was filling but not to much, the vegetables were cooked perfectly. The staff is friendly and quick. Parking can be difficult being across from the college but this is a great place to enjoy.

Great service for lunch and the food was spot on. Thanks for the great food! Pictured is the All the Way Burger w/ pasta salad and the Meatball Sub!

The food was creative and delicious, and the service was very good here. We ordered the Mushroom Lasagna, Greek Pasta, Tuscan Red Pepper Chicken, French Onion Soup, and Artichoke dip. All our food was delicious and I would recommend any dish we tried, especially the Artichoke dip. It was unique and heavy on the artichokes, served with perfectly toasted little bread slices. Nice bar too, I tried a lavender lemonade. We will be back when visiting Boone!

Was in Boone for business decided to give this place a try.
We ordered delivery which was fairly prompt.

Now onto the food.
We ordered a white pizza pretty basic. Overall pizza was good topping wise. The crust was so greasy I feel we could have squeezed it out of the crust and used it to fry the onion rings.
Onto the onion rings we did order. They tasted like they were cooked once then dropped under the fryer and found a week later and thrown back into the fryer and served to us.
Ordered their banana cream pie. It was suppose to be a luscious cream pie topped with cool whip and bananas. We received something to the texture of maybe a cheesecake on old tasting crust. No cool whip and no bananas.
Overall all the experience was not great.
Wouldn't even give the chance to go into the place to try in person.
The reviews that talk about the lack of quality are extremely accurate. So unless you have no taste buds or haven't really eaten in a years time, I would seek other options in the area.

The food was great and the environment doesn't get more home town than this, great spot to grab a great local meal with the locals themselves!

We ate here several times during our recent stay in Blowing Rock. We were so happy to find a restaurant where the vegetable selection extended beyond french fries and fried pickles and it was great to find something other than a chain restaurant! Food was excellent, we were able to find several vegetarian friendly menu items, and the staff was very accommodating and delivering extra steam vegetables! They also have a full bar! On successive nights, we received excellent service from Joy, Grant, and Tatum. We also struck up conversations with others on the patio on two of our visits so we know the restaurant draws a nice, friendly crowd! Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area and certainly this would be my go-to restaurant if I ever had the pleasure to return to town.

French onion soup was some of the best I’ve ever had. The bread for my 3 year old’s PB&J was so big and fluffy…that she had to take the sando apart to fit it in her mouth. But that’s a ‘champagne problem’ as far I’m concerned. Well done guys 🤙

We can't say enough nice things about our dinner at Red Onion! The atmosphere was pleasant and our server was wonderful. She was recommending me things left and right to help me get around my (unfortunately) picky eating habits. I ended up going with the pesto pasta, it was delicious and somehow still tasted just as good as leftovers. That's how you know you've got a winner!

My sister's meal looked delicious- good balance of protein w/ veggies. Colorful plate of food. My pizza was tasty- a little too much cheese for my taste but had enough leftover for additional meals. Price was competitive for area. Easy access and enough parking

The waitress, Cheyenne, was great!!! My hubby got the Tuscan Chicken. It was less than warm. I got the Grilled Chicken Salad with the Asian dressing. It was ok but I don't like the type of lettuce they use. IF we go back we're going to respectfully choose different and request Cheyenne for a waitress.
