Restaurants near Swannanoa

“Grabbed a quick bite here while in the area today, and were pleasantly surprised! Had the brussel sprout appetizer, Swannonoa cheesesteak and my wife had the catfish and chips. Excellent flavor in everything and good portions. Will visit again if in the area! Highly recommend!”

“Such a great spot. I love it here. The service is wonderful. The space is cute and eclectic with lots of seating. The food is delicious and they have some unique takes like candied habenero scones. It's a little our of the way for me but it's a fun stop if I'm passing by on my way to black mountain. I definitely recommend if you're in the area.”

“This place is amazing. There is a TikTok floating around of a man asking people to lie on blunt pretzels which I will not do. This place is amazing and I've watched them treat everyone amazing. I was there when that man came in a threw a fit because he didn't get treated the way he thought he was supposed to get treated. He was belligerent from the very start and cussing loudly in front of the kids. The man was a complete psychopath. This place was great and I recommend them to anyone. Even to people with mental health issues. So even if you think you are a giraffe, come on in and get you a fire pretzel!!!!!”

“Such a cute little spot! I got the Philly Cheese Steak Omelet (no peppers cause I’m a baby) and they loaded it down with onions and mushrooms to make up for the no peppers. OMG so delicious! The omelet was so fluffy and delicious and the steak, mushrooms, and onions were seasoned so nice! The biscuits with gravy are delicious!!! I could have gotten just that and been happy too lol. Everyone here is so sweet too. They greet everyone like they’ve known them for years (which they probably have as they knew almost every one by name!)Definitely will be back. Yum!”

“We had them prepare our wedding feast for 20 people. Jennifer was a pleasure to work with and made it very simple and easy on me. We picked it up and drove 45 minutes to venue and food was still piping hot and extremely delicious as always.Highly reccomend every item but my fav is the ribs. Thank you for making our Wedding a wonderful experience.”

“Their Greek chicken salad is amazing and always super fresh. The dressing is the best too! My kids love to eat here too. Steak and cheese subs and spaghetti and meatballs don't disappoint!! They even bring it out to your car for takeout which is awesome!!”

“Had an amazing dinner at what we thought was just another Mexican restaurant. Wrong! the food was so beautiful I almost hated to dig in. Absolutely delicious, and fast friendly service to boot. We drive through Swannanoa about once a year to visit relatives, we'd will make sure to add LA Bamba to the travel itinerary.”

“Aaron, Ashton, and Philly were amazing at making customers feel at home. On a long road trip it was a wonderful place to stop for lunch. They lifted our spirits after being on the road for hours. Definitely unexpected kindness. Blessings on each of you. You were a ray of sunshine! And the food was perfect!!”

“The Food and Service is good But be prepared to spend alot of money. For 2 large and 1 small pizzas and 1 small order of wings I spent 75 bucks!!! I just can't do that on my budget. That is gonna be a every once in awhile meal. Lol.”

“The fries are usually bad at Burger King, not because I don't like the fries but because most places either serve them stale or don't salt them. They did a decent job here and I was able to enjoy themThe original chicken sandwich here wasn't perfect but had some crunch to it and was made fresh”

“Always great service! Always happy faces! My favorite Starbucks! Can't go wrong when going here! We love this place so much! Much love for Mrs. Monique & all of her wonderful staff ❤”

“Just want to say the service was great. Also hope the lady in the black Ford Fusion, that paid for our order will see this. We were in the black GMC truck. The young man at the window said you paid for our order because you seen the Marine sticker on the truck.. Thank you! Really appreciate it.. I wish some one was behind me so I could have paid it forward. Thanks again. Tim”

“Now that I have moved back to Swannanoa and there are less restaurant choices, I have tried Popeyes. I really enjoy their Blackened Chicken Sandwich, fried chicken sandwich, wings, and bone in chicken. There hasn't been anything wrong with the sides I've tried but they aren't my favorites. They employees have been very nice so far and prices are reasonable front these days.”

“Sometimes I feel bad because I think I rate businesses too harshly, like maybe I just expect too much. Then I come to places like this and I see what a 5-star rating restaurant truly looks like.Everything was amazing. Our server was on top of things, continually filling our waters and we never ran low. Our food was delivered quick and fully correct. I ordered the crispy chicken, and, while I'm not a fan of collards (my wife loved them), it was one of the best meals I've had. The presentation was incredible and truly a 5-star dining experience.They don't have a kids menu, but since we really wanted to come here, we called ahead and they graciously said they can make something work. Our girls ordered chicken tenders and fries and they said it was the best (direct quote) chicken tenders they've ever gotten! I can't give this place higher praise than that.Richard, the owner, stopped by our table at the end of our meal and we had a great conversation about their story, their travels, and what led them to open this place that used to be a run-down gas station. This place is the definition of 'excellence' that so many restaurants promise but fail to live up to. I can't wait to come here again!Kid-friendliness: No kids menu, but they can work with you to make something work”

“My husband and I tried this place out for the first time to celebrate an anniversary. David(dave) was our waiter and gave great service; he was very knowledgeable with the menu, kind and overall was great! To start, we ordered the bacon wrapped scallops that were so delicious! We ordered the filet minion and catfish for our main entrees and they were both amazing dishes. Dessert was offered, but we were just too full to try it! At least it gives us an excuse to come back. So pleased with this place!”

“Great offerings for lovers of all types of beers. Great atmosphere with indoor and outdoor areas including the Meadows section and frisbee golf course. Very unique setting and very friendly and knowledgeable servers. Relaxing spot and one of the top breweries in NC.”

“This place is genuinely one of my favorite places to eat in Asheville. The fries are authentic and superb, the chicken and fish are absolute perfection. The vibes are immaculate and the restaurant interior is very much reminiscent of a Belgian frituur. Highly recommend.”

“The food was very tasty and the drinks were strong and not over priced. I loved the open and clean atmosphere. The staff was friendly and welcoming. I was happy all around.”

“Another outstanding culinary experience! Thank you for fitting us in yesterday on our way home from SAFF (Southeastern Animal Fiber Fair) we brought our dear friends who were celebrating their anniversary. We had some small plates then scallops, burgers, and schnitzel. Just fabulous. Thank you for a perfect end to a wonderful day spent with great friends. Happy to share such a dining gem.”

“I was born and raised and Florida and moved to nc about 3 years ago. I'm half Cuban and i have been trying to find a Cuban place here that is close to what i grew up eating in Orlando and Miami. Look no further guys. This place is the real deal! Real Cuban owner. Authentic Cuban food and wonderful atmosphere. I absolutely LOVE it and it reminds me of the Cuban food i ate growing up. Please please give this place a try. 10/10 would always recommend”

“What a great brewery! All the beers were awesome with our favorite being the Hazy Half Back - delicious!! Scott and Karen were both awesome, super friendly and knowledgeable. This will be a must for us whenever we visit Asheville.”

“My Partner and I were in from out of town, 100% not expecting to find this level of Authenticity in this area. Taste, Environment, Price and Service were 1000 times better than we were anticipating. To anyone in the area who's still undecided if you'll go. We drove an 1h 30m to try it and was well worth.”

“Locally-owned by a wonderful family, Annie B’s is named after their daughter and provides employment for those with disabilities. Delicious, creamy ice cream is made in house and they also now offer slicesof pie!Kid-friendliness: Friendly!Wheelchair accessibility: Yes”

“The service was great. The food is reasonably priced and portions are good. Wings need to be kicked up a notch with flavor. The buffalo wings were not very flavorful. Overall a great dinner with friends. Great atmosphere on the lake!Parking: Lots of parking, easy to get in and out.”

“Wow! Coming from Miami, I can attest to the authenticity of this Cuban food spot. Delicious and delightful!! So glad we found this authentic gem! Definitely coming back for my local Cuban fix.”

“We had a wonderful experience at Fahrenheit Pizza. We brought some family with us from out of town. We had pizza, garlic knots and even tried their cannolis! The food was all very delicious, especially the pizza. And the staff were all very kind and inviting, especially Conrad. (He was the one that sold us on the cannolis) As a pizza snob, this place has inched its way into my top 3 pizza places in Asheville. Cheers!”

“Always delicious food, even if a little expensive. You know they're quality when the wait is out the door. You will have to grab your own drinks and condiments. You will also want to come back over and over again.Parking: During peak hours, the lot we'll be full”

“This was the best fried chicken I've ever had! The owner was so kind and the service was great! Hushpuppies, fried okra and Mac and cheese were also amazing! I would give this place 10 stars if I could!!!”
