Good spot for a breakfast or brunch while in Blowing Rock. Inside is a little noisy and cramped, but there is also outdoor seating available. The food portions were large and very good, all around enjoyable experience!

Been coming here since they opened, the food absolutely delicious! Biscuits are made in home, it’s like eating at grandma’s house. We plan our mountain trip around driving through Banner Elk so we can eat here for bkfast. Yes Thai is worth the detour!

You know it's good when there's a line of people out in the cold waiting to be seated. Amy was awesome as was Brinn our server. Food portions are huge and the prices are actually on the cheaper side for the amount of food you get. Everything we ate for breakfast was great. They definitely put some love into their food. Great service too.

Kendra was our waitress. She was awesome! Great smile and personality. The food was incredible and priced perfectly. I had the flounder from the 1 meat / 3 sides and it was a portion of days gone by. This is my favorite place in Blowing Rock. I am going to book a week stay next year just to eat at The Social On Main everyday! Thank you to everyone at Social On Main! Keep up the great work!

Lovely brunch! Coffee was great and really enjoyed the breakfast sandwiches. Did liver mush with egg and cheese on English Muffin and same on wheat bread. Generous portion and was piping hot. Liver mush perfectly cooked. Friendly staff. Highly recommend. Other food items going to other tables all looked delicious. Decent amount of seating inside and outside
