This is a must place to go for dinner in Boone, NC. My wife and I ate there for the first time on Saturday April 20, 2013. We arrived at 7:15 in the evening and found they were out of some vegetables which they told us at the door. No problem. The list of remaining vegetables offered a great selection.... More

Very good food. Had their meatloaf with a large potato cake and collards. All very well made. The potato cake was especially good and different with some red onion and peppers cooked in, and cheese on top.

Always, while traveling, I check my fellow trip advisors who don't lead me astray! We had planned just a short snow-playing few days away and after consulting "TA" Boone, NC restaurants we selected Proper - and it was! Who'd ever guess in that building set back off the sidewalk, there'd be such a charming and delicious meal waiting for us.... More

Great upscale Southern cooking, knowledgeable staff, reasonable prices. Located in the old jail building. Only 4 parking spots along side of building, but you can always park somewhere else and enjoy walking around enjoying the many unique shops in Boone after lunch or dinner.

Every bite was delightful and the price for this wonderful meal is $9.99 Oh I forgot, you get a biscuit or cornbread. I must admit, the cornbread was a little... More

Great food at reasonable prices in a homy location. Follow the locals as they know best. Parking is a little inconvenient but the experience is worthwhile.

Yes, it is hard to find a parking spot close by and it is a little small (but cozy) inside. Proper seems to be very popular for dinner, so I mainly visit during off hours 2-5pm for lunch. The food is good comfort food like your grandmother used to make. Each day they have a different selection of plates, soup,... More

We enjoyed a delicious lunch in this quaint little restaurant, housed in an old building that makes one feel in the 1800s. The only drawback is that it is a bit crowded, small tables very close together, but the food is delicious.
