Reviews for Proper in Boone, NC
Excellent dinner. We had the hot chicken, which was very unique and flavorful, and the catfish. Small place so make sure you get... reservations. Read more
A great spin on southern comfort food. The portion sizes are perfect?not too big to finish at the restaurant but you definitely... won?t leave hungry. The hot-dipped chicken has great flavor and isn?t over-powering, but it can be complimented with a homemaderanch to tame the spice for those who are sensitive to spicy foods. The sides are excellent too; I?d recommend the green beanswith potatoes. The closed-in front porch provides a nice ambiance and the place offers nice craft beers and a better-than-mostwine selection by the glass. Read more
Stopped here looking for a good meal while passing through town. They were full up, but were gracious enough to squeeze us in.... Food was incredible, and the staff was so friendly. They really made us feel like guests, instead of just customers. Whoeverdoes the baking there is proper talented... Try the key lime pie 10/10 would recommend. Read more
Excellent southern cuisine!! Super-friendly and accommodating staff!! Ethan offered very helpful guidance and recommendations!... My husband and I both ordered side salads for our starters, and they were fresh and the dressing was delicious. For ourentrées, my husband ordered the fried catfish, collard greens and the green beans. I ordered the fried chicken breast, mashedpotatoes, and collard greens. Every single morsel was absolutely delicious! All of the dishes were top notch, and the collardgreens alone are worth the visit! For dessert, we had Key-lime pie and raspberry crème brûlée. The pie was authentic? thecustard the perfect balance of tart/sweet and the crust was buttery-yum mines? and the crème brûlée was the best either of ushad ever tasted! Nothing was greasy or overly seasoned? you could taste the flavors of the food. So enjoyable! The chicken wascrunchy and moist? the catfish was crispy and clean-tasting! The prices are amazingly reasonable for the quality and value ofthe food. The ability to execute outstanding course components consistently is pretty rare! And, to add that the overallexperience delivered on all aspects is exceptional! What a gem! Read more
Proper was my favorite place to go for a nice dinner when I was in college at ASU. I'm happy to say the food has gotten even... better since then while remaining affordable! Our server Hannah was amazing and offered some wonderful recommendations. I'mstill dreaming about their peach cobbler. Read more
Absolutely wonderful! My husband and I (55ish) like to try new things. At first I was looking at the menu and wondered if it all... was going to be good. But my husband ordered the fried green tomatoes with a unique pimento cheese. Definitely, would get thatone again. Soup, cornbread, collards, etc. Awesome! It all works! Got to try this little gem in Boone! ???? Read more
This is an awesome restaurant and location. The setting is very quaint, southern, and proper. It is essential posh or high end... southern comfort food. The restaurant is in what looks a sizeable old home. Pet friendly with an aesthetically pleasing seatingarea that definitely fits the vibe/style of the restaurant. Food is amazing, plus the staff is extremely friendly and helpful.Quality food and service at a price you won't be mad at. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone in the area, tourists orlocals! Read more
Service was very good, it was mid evening on a Thursday, so not very busy. We ordered fried green tomatoes as an appetizer. We... all ordered fried chicken with assorted sides. The chicken breast was ok. It was a little dry, but the batter it was in wascrunchy and tasteful. The rice and gravy was unremarkable. Mac and cheese, good but didn?t stand out. Collards were tender. Thegreen beans and potatoes were unremarkable. I?m from Louisiana/Texas, my wife, Southern Alabama. I understand southern comfortfood. For the price we paid for three to have a fried chicken breast, ( no choice offered, only breast) and unremarkable sides,I?m not certain I?d categorize this as ?southern comfort food?. Perhaps we?ll stop by again and try another dish. Read more
