Boone, NC

About Dan'l Boone Inn Restaurant

The Dan'l Boone Inn is an Appalachian institution serving family-style Southern country cooking since 1959, and a game-day pilgrimage here before an App State football game is one of the most authentic college football pregame traditions in the South. The legendary fried chicken, country ham, biscuits, and vegetables arrive at the table in enormous communal bowls, providing the carbohydrate loading that mountain air and stadium stairs demand. Alumni and opposing fans alike end up sharing tables and mountain town hospitality before kickoff.

Located in Boone.

Stick Boy Kitchen

Stick Boy Kitchen is the morning gathering spot for Boone's sports community — coaches grabbing coffee before film sessions, visiting families fueling up on artisan pastries before App State games, and athletes stopping in after morning workouts. The wood-fired sourdough loaves and rotating pastry selection have made it a cult favorite, and the warm community atmosphere of a small-town artisan bakery makes it an essential stop for any visitor wanting to feel the texture of life in Boone beyond the football stadium. The cinnamon rolls on football Saturdays sell out by 9 AM.
