Soul Food Restaurants near Asheville, NC

“Great service and awesome food. A must visit if you want a place that excites your tastebuds…..“

“If you like Nashville hot chicken and are in the area, I’d highly recommend Rockies. This location tends to get busy but the food comes out quickly. The parking situation can also get a bit busy at times.Our go to orders are: Pimento BLT sandwich with fried Mac poppers and a fried chicken combo with pickles. We love spice so we go with Rockies Hot but to some people this may be a too spicy. If you’re a spice novice then go with mild or original. They are tasty no matter the level.“

“After following them for years, I finally got to try out their food on Sunday at New Belgium in Asheville. I had the fried oyster sandwich. Probably the BEST fried oysters I've every had... tender, crispy and perfect. Unfortunately I couldn't have the sauce that they put with it because it contains milk, and they didn't offer me an alternative. So I just put some crystal hot sauce on it. My husband had the Seintan sandwich (vegan) that was spiced to taste like Italian sausage. He said it was quite good, and would order again.“

“I’ve only listened to Kyle on the podcast she cohosts with Erin Holt and love the podcast! I’m from New England but love Kyle’s story all the recommendations she makes and her sense of humor!“

“Have eaten here multiple times. Great food“

“Stumbled upon this place while hosting an out of town friend. We were welcomed as soon as we walked in. Very laid back, nice atmosphere. We opted to sit at the bar for drinks & dinner. Tim was very friendly and answered a few questions we had about the menu. I had the Paloma and my friend had the Tequila old fashioned. Probably the best Paloma I've ever had. I tasted the old fashioned too, & it was amazing! Chips & salsa was really good- fresh, thick chips and a nice variety of salsas. Then.. the meals! Flavor, texture, presentation.. it was all amazing and fresh, high quality ingredients. I will spread the word about this place because it's really the best Mexican restaurant we've been to in Asheville.“

“Between the 3 dollar beer, the great prices on food, and the friendly staff, this place is definately worth the visit. There was a tour bus I'm pretty sure is solely touring the country for the best corn bread. Needless to say, they stopped here“

“Awesome food, great customer service“
