We love the originality of the menu, the use of local ingredients and the normal, not ridiculously huge, portions. Everything is good, but the fried chicken breast, black-eyed bean cake, biscuits, cornbread, sweet potato, and soups are always a hit with anyone we have ever...More

Went for lunch with a friend, and the fried chicken and mashed potatoes and gravy did not disappoint. The restaurant is in a quaint old house, but the decor is extremely basic, with cheap plastic chairs. Good for lunch, but I would not come here...More

This restaurant is very relaxed, the interior basic, but the food is good, fresh local cuisine. It offers interesting takes on southern cooking, and everything we have ever had there was good, esp. the biscuits and cornbread! We also like the Wed es day wine...More

Great local spot. Had the chicken enchilada pie special and it was very tasty. Good selection of choices with a simple menu. Prices are very reasonable. We went for an early dinner and were glad we did.

We love to eat dinner at Proper when we go through Boone, and this time we ended up there on Wine and Dine Wednesday. It's four small-plate courses, paired with wines, plus dessert. You can also order it without the wine at a lower cost....More

We had to wait for a table. But oh was it worth the wait! Whether it was the Salad with Fried Chicken breast or the pulled pork (western NC style), or the Collards or the Succatash. All of the dishes were outstanding! And we finished...More
