Joy Bistro

I found this place searching for a place to do brunch while we were visiting Boone. Brunch was amazing! The braised short ribs and potatoes is one of my top 5 dishes ever. We were so pleased with the place that we went back for dinner service the Friday before we left. It was equally amazing and the dessert was off the charts ( We had the Creme Brulee and the Mocha ice cream). I would highly recommend Joy to anyone looking for an outstanding meal. I can't wait until we move to Boone so that we can enjoy this restaurant regularly.

We had a reservation at 6:30 and we arrived around 6:25. There was a table ready for us as soon as we walked in the door! We got seated and we were greeted by our server, Tyler. We ordered cocktails and an appetizer and they came out promptly. We had an inconvenience with the entrees because the restaurant was out of the filet mignon but had New York strip instead. Needless to say, the New York strip was amazing along with the rest of sides. We had a great experience and our sever, Tyler, was amazing. Highly recommend this restaurant and we will be back!

This restaurant has the best food and wait staff that you could ever ask for. I want to start off by saying I was greeted by a wonderful group of waitresses. The food here is the best bang for your buck that you can ask for. My waitress Gina and her co workers Riley, Ally and Lucy did an amazing job at showing team work while running each others food and drinks. Because of this, no tables were left unattended and I truly believe this place deserves a pat on the back. However, I did not have the pleasure of meeting a server by the name of Braden apparently also known as Dean. After my meal, I spoke to the kitchen staff about how amazing the food was. The pantry chefs Cameron and Eric did an amazing job at preparing the Brie puffs and prosciutto. After speaking with them I began a conversation with the other two chefs named Tommy and Oliver about how well they cooked the food. I have to say I will definitely be back every Friday from now on.

What a great little place in Boone. The only place that matches overall quality is the Gamekeeper. Joy is very expensive though so we don't go here often. It is however, more convenient than the Gamekeeper.
