Wildwood Community Market & Deli

There are lots of things to love about Wildwood Community Market. I’ve had a number of their sandwiches, all of which have been excellent, and as I’ll discuss below, I love their sides! Orders are placed at the deli counter, and in no time at all, you’ll be ready to enjoy your meal on the go, at one of their dine-in booths or tables, or outside at the picnic table. Pros: 1.) Flavor! Every mouthful is perfectly balanced and sandwiches crafted in delightful proportion. While I love pimento cheese, I often lament that some restaurants slather it on burgers and sandwiches to the point that it’s all you taste. Not so here! Their grilled chicken and pimento cheese sandwich is perfectly balanced along with greens and bread to highlight the best parts of each. Similarly, the turkey, apple, brie sandwich was a delightful balance paired with a jam/marmalade and flaky croissant. 2.) Bean salads. Maybe it’s just me, but I love a bean salad, and they are always stocked up in the deli case with at least one. This trip it was the chickpea and feta salad. There’s often a Southwest bean salad. And they’re all amazingly filling and flavorful. 3.) Good vibes. It’s called a community market and really feels like one! Staff are friendly and helpful, and the places just has great vibes overall. Its proximity to App State’s campus means you’re like to find an assortment of students, locals, and tourists enjoying this spot on any given day. Cons: 1.) Parking. If you’re just coming to eat at Wildwood, parking can be a bit tricky. I suggest just finding a metered spot on King or Depot Street and walking down. Hopefully the new Howard Street project will bring some new parking to the area. Note: While there is lots of road work happening nearby, they are open and still great as ever!

We stopped in for lunch today and had such a great experience! I had the club sandwich on sourdough, and it was absolutely delicious — the sourdough was perfect and the sandwich was packed with flavor. My partner had the chicken salad wrap, and it was anything but basic — the flavor was incredible and really stood out. We also tried the broccoli and apple salad and their pasta salad, both of which were fresh and tasty. One thing we really loved was that the staff was so friendly and welcoming — they even let you sample any of the salads before choosing, which was such a nice touch. Everything was washed down with a bottled Coke — simple but perfect. The vibes were great, the food was fresh and full of flavor, and we’ll definitely be back again. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something delicious and made with care!

AMAZING lunch and market place! A wonderful place to relax after shopping at king street. All of the food is consistently amazing. Highly recommend the Turkey Apple Brie on a croissant. I love that they support so many local small businesses around Boone! I can’t wait to come back to boone and grad brunch at Wildwood again!

Everything is 5 stars here. Nice location, seating area, places for kids to play with toys, small grocery section and AMAZING sandwiches. Got the falafel sandwich, PB Cheesecake. Delicious and fresh.

The sandwiches here are insanely good! We tried five different ones, and every single bite had such unique and delicious flavor combinations—it’s clear a lot of thought goes into each recipe. Do yourself a favor and try this place out! Plus, the customer service has been consistently fantastic every time we’ve visited. Friendly, fast, and genuinely welcoming. An all-around gem!

Oh my goodness, the fried chicken sandwich is delicious! Get the Deluxe with pimento cheese & hot honey!! My side was the spicy potato soup which had great flavor & not a pepper-heat mouth feel. Highly recommend both, but everything looked amazing.

Great food, great atmosphere, and really friendly people. Probably my favorite spot in Boone now. Great tunes in the background as well.

I typically shop/eat here at least twice a week for several months and usually love the food and service here. However, I stopped by today to get lunch with my boyfriend and they were out of the chicken salad (my usual order) which was totally fine, so the person working offered me a grilled chicken wrap instead. I asked if it could be made as a sandwich on sourdough which is what I usually get with chicken salad and she said yes of course that it’s the same as the chicken salad sandwich, but with grilled chicken instead! I got the sandwich and realized it was very small diced grilled chicken which I hadn’t been told, so when I picked up the sandwich it immediately ripped in half and fell apart completely. I asked if it could be remade into a wrap instead as no one told me it was diced chicken, when I hear grilled chicken sandwich I assume a grilled chicken breast. I was then charged over $10 for them to remake the wrap because they “can’t take food back” even though I took one bite and then entire thing disintegrated. I was then given the replacement wrap which I then unwrapped IN FRONT of her which was also not wrapped correctly and too fell apart upon me unwrapping it with her standing there, which she then saw and said “oh no sorry!” and walked away to talk to other employees without offering any sort of fix. So I then left paying $50 for lunch that went in the trash. I love supporting local businesses and I work in food and beverage service myself and am usually understanding but unfortunately this was a ridiculously bad experience. :(

We were headed to the local, and saw sign for best sandwiches in Boone, and this place did not disappoint. Ordered the chickfalean deluxe and the turkey Brie and they were both delicious. Very quick and friendly service ! 10/10 recommend. They also have a cute kid friendly corner

Amazing sandwiches! And a cute market with fun options for snacks and beverages. The gluten free bread on the sandwich was one of the best I've had. Check out the nice grill marks in the photos. I had the BLT here two days in a row, that's how good it was. I also tried the club sandwich, yummy! One of my favorite spots in downtown Boone.

Best sandwiches and grilled chicken and salmon including vegetarian! Awesome sides, usually room to watch inside when everything that isnt as good has 40 minute waits! Bonus: great to be there with little ones, they have a play area

Great food. Cool vibe. Good people. Love the variety of the tasty and healthy food here. Plus - so many gluten-free options! Enjoy the bright decor and always feel it's clean. Hot falafel sandwich is amazing but my go-to is getting one protein + one side. I could spend a whole visit just pondering all of the selections for refreshing drinks too! Fun to eat in and convenient for takeout! My favorite restaurant in Boone!

Upon going inside my first time, staff were eager to explain or help with any questions I might have. Sweet and attentive, clean everywhere, and food was very good! Well done!

Driving back/ to Banner Elk area, this was definitely worth a few mile detour to stop for somee grub. Everything fresh and a lot of local. The pumpkin soup was off the chain. thick with a little kick. Vegan options for my wife. And they also sell local items like bakery, bread, meats etc. Also, some old schoop video games and board games. Why would you eat lunch anywhere else?

I loved it! The door was open so lots of fresh air. I was welcomed and asked if it was my first visit. They explained that everything is made fresh, all produce is organic, and they source local as much as they can. They made sure I knew where to find everything from napkins to hot sauce ... just super kind. Food was fast and delicious. I had a breakfast burrito and a side of pickled beets. Delicious!

Well now. Hopefully it's not too often that something hits you like "what just happened" ?! I got the country-fried tofu "meal deal". It came with two sides, but I quickly forgot they existed (I have a dim memory of them being good). But let me tell you this: tofu has just moved into whole new category. I know I know, I bet you're thinking I'm the owners bothers cousin. Nope. They serve it with some kind of house made tzatziki dipping sauce. All I can tell you is don't go here without getting some of these two things: country-fried tofu & tzatziki sauce. You will not regret it. And whatever you thought about tofu is about to change... even if you liked it before. I'll be back sometime soon and try to eat something else on the menu. But that'll be a difficult thing to do cause I'm gonna be staring at the tofu.

I was with a group and 2 dogs looking for breakfast on a rainy morning. Of course, most pet friendly restaurants in the area only had outdoor seating, which was uncovered and wet... But I called Wildwood market and they said come on in! Super friendly staff, tasty breakfast burritos and lunch sandwiches and a 1980s Pac-Man table game! Great spot for a quick bite with our pups

Super fresh and great staff. Chicken sandwich was great and kale salad and beet salad were awesome. Kombucha available!

We had delicious sandwiches, fancy chips & drinks at this stylish deli/restaurant. We will be back!

Second time validated my thinking that this place is excellent! Cute place and food is on point l. Staff super friendly and even remembered us from first visit. I sat and watched as people lined outside for the Local restaurant across the street and thought thank goodness the tourist haven't found this place yet because it definitely this locals new lunch spot.

The people are incredibly nice and we're very engaging. The store is very clean and the deli is excellent. Thank you to the guy that brought out water for my dog and then came back with a treat for her without being asked!!!

Far and away the best in quality,presentation and preparation plus an awesome staff. Don't forget to indulge in one or two of Kim's deserts. She's a Goddess when it comes to deserts...trust me.

Amazing local grocery store with an amazing hot/cold bar options. The chicken salad wrap was packed with veggies and a perfect amount of dressing, I could not recommend this market more!!

Phenomenal sandwiches. Lifelong vegetarian and Wildwood's tofu sandwiches are some of the most flavorful I've ever had. Fresh local ingredients are used in pretty much every dish offered. My personal favorites are the BBQ tofu and the Chick-Fil-Ain't. CJ, Joe, and the whole team are friendly and know their regulars by name. The store is bright and inviting with clean public restrooms. Great addition to the Boone community.
