The Penny Path — Restaurant in Blowing Rock

Food was delicious, too bad we had to finish eating it in the car. We Sat down as soon as we came in, ordered as soon as server came over (which took 7-10minutes) then waited for well over 30minutes as several tables that came in 20minutes or more after us kept getting served (many people came in, ate and left before we even saw our drinks) We did not get any of our drinks till right before the food came out and by that point we basically had to take everything to go because we were out of time (there was only 3 of us and only 2 food orders, so it’s not like we were a large party). Needless to say the 2 star review is due to the service not the food. As mentioned before, the food was delicious, too bad we didn’t get a chance to enjoy it while comfortably sitting down in the 40-50 minutes we spent waiting. If trying out this place I would suggest you give yourself triple the amount of time you think it will take just to be on the safe side.

Reply to owner: We were there on 2/14 from 10:45-11:35. We had to be somewhere by 12:10 which was the reason we finally...

Normally I have a wonderful time here but today was the exception. Instead of informing us that they were out of the flour they use for their gluten free batter, they said that they could make it with almond flour. Our group of 4 sat and ordered seeing as we thought that we could all eat there. This was not the case, they made the 3 glutenous crepes and brought them out before they even finished making the batter for the gluten free, our poor friend just had to sit there while we ate. After waiting an absurd amount of time for them to start the gluten free one, the batter with the almond flour didn't work. When they came over to tell us that the almond flour didn't work they also said that they couldn't find the gluten free flour so they couldn't do anything for us. Overall this one interaction was handled very poorly, instead we should have been informed about the possibility of us not getting gluten free ones so we could have eaten elsewhere. This has never happened before so I feel bad leaving a long negative review but I hope this won't happen to...

We came in on an off day and were treated to wonderful service. The two who helped us even went out of their way to make our time special. We ordered two crepes, one savory and one sweet. They asked if we wanted the savory first and the sweet after, to which we happily accepted. We didn't even have to let them know we were ready for the sweet one. Once we finished our savory crepe, they got to making our sweet order fresh. They were out of ice cream so they went next door to the parlour and fetched some for us without hesitation. Honestly, I've had better crepes but the heart and soul of this place shines. Fantastic service. Wonderful personality. Worth a...
