Restaurants in Arden

“My server’s name was TiAnna and I will say that she is one of the best that I have ever met.Not only does she have a great smile, but her personality matches it perfectly. I watched her as she waited on other tables and she treated them all with same amount of respect and curiosity. I also think she would make a great bartender, because if she does ever becomes a bartender I would probably become an alcoholic.”

“Best Cuban Sandwich I’ve had in WNC!”

“I highly recommend any business that steps up for their community in times of need. thank you for getting those 596 people fed yesterday!! kudos!”

“We had breakfast the food service and prices were great”

“BEST FOOD IN ARDEN NC. Dnt shoot the messenger.”

“Delicious food! Wonderful staff!”

“Voodoo Brewing Co. - Asheville has so much to offer, you can't go wrong here. Wide selection of craft beers, seltzers, ciders, great food, and a fantastic staff!”

“So very tasty and filling for the cost! Also great with food sensitivities (raw onion in my case.)”

“We went to dinner last night to celebrate my mother-in-law’s 90th Birthday and everything was spectacular! They gave us a corner table, every meal was just perfect, the cocktails delicious and the service was phenomenal! Thank you for helping us create a special memory during this challenging time of Helene!”

“Great food. amazing service”

“We live close by and somehow didn't know of this little gem. It is so quaint and the food is delicious. Small staff, everyone was really friendly. They were also very knowledgeable about what was gluten free on their menu. We ordered the panang curry and pad thai, both were so good! Can't wait to eat here again!

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options”

“A delightful surprise! Really delicious food, made to order and slightly unusual. Bakery goods quite tasty. And prices are reasonable. Cute old stone house is the setting. We will return”

“This is the best Asian food experience in the area. My favorite is the Thai Red Curry with prawns. I also love the Tom Ka. Every vegetable is crispy fresh. Even the rice is perfectly cooked, never too gummy. They serve one of my favorite desserts any where—mango ice cream! The staff are lovely and helped my 101year old mother feel like a queen.”

“My husband and I were able to visit Sumo Asian Kitchen and were greeted by such a friendly staff. They were so welcoming and the food is very good. They checked on us to see if we were okay after Helene and made sure we had all we needed. Times are hard on everyone right now but if you can visit and support a small business we highly recommend Sumo.”

“My daughter and I stopped in Mt pleasant location today for the first time ! It was yummy ! Can’t wait to go back ! The pork belly was off the chain !”

“Best Ramen in town! Kids loved the spicy Ramen and I the Miso, can’t wait to try the truffle!”

“super gooooooood fried mushrooms are the bomb”

“This place is awesome! Great food, great service and really nice people. Try it. You won't regret it!”

“I love beef tongue tacos and honestly have a crazy high standard for them and these were very much up to the task. I also got cheek tacos for my first time and they were good enough I wasn’t sad I didn’t get all tongue. Tacos come with onion cilantro lime wedges and 2 sauces. I recommend using lime and both sauces and you are going to be very happy with your lunch. Also 4 tacos for 12.80$ can’t be beat nowadays especially with flavor that makes them worth even more.”

“Great food and an extensive menu!”

“The food was fresh and delicious, the guys working was friendly and nice … will definitely be back there again … would recommend to check them out !!”

“Delicious food! Wonderful staff!”

“Love it. Walked in this afternoon and was greeted by a very friendly bartender that took awesome care of us. After a couple of samples from a broad selection we settled in on some beers and went next door to order some Q, which was in itself excellent. Anyway, great time and will be back next time I'm in Arden.”

“The food was super delicious, very creative with plenty of options to choose from. Definitely won’t forget my experience here. Definitely will come back.”

“Not usually a sport bar person but I feel safe and welcomed here when dining alone or at the bar. Great value / portions for the price. The menu has much more to offer than other sports bars and the custom mocktails are delicious! 🩷”

“I’m so happy that I heard about this place! We ate there today and had the cheeseburger, fries and a hotdog all the way. Amazing food with an old fashioned down home diner taste. Nostalgic experience for me. The staff is friendly too! Will definitely be back!”

“Absolutely love king’s kitchen. The ONLY downfall is not being able to have it delivered through any of the food service apps. Large portions and reasonably priced. As a family of 7, this is one of our go-to’s for Chinese. Don’t let the small store front take away from the amazing food. Call your order in and it’ll be ready when you get there.”

“If you haven't been to Pi-Squared in Arden, you need to give it a try. I would give it 10 Stars!!!!! First, the owner, Andrea is amazing. She makes you feel so welcome and treats you like you are family. Andrea is one of the kindest, most caring and generous persons you will ever meet. Second, manager Cameron Harrington. Always makes sure you have a great dining experience. Cam is a really great guy and knows how to provide excellent customer service. Third, the pizza is DELICIOUS!!!!! I personally love the crispiness of the crust on the square pizzas and the fresh tasting toppings as well. The wings and cheese pi bread is very tasty too. Since I love their pizza so much I haven't had a chance to try many other items but I'm sure they are enjoyable as well. I highly recommend PiSquared in Arden to everyone. Bon Appetit!!!!”

“My favorite Mexican Restaurant!! Staff, food, atmosphere...family owned and operated...I go there at least 2 to 3 times a month... love it!”

“We had so much fun yesterday afternoon hanging out at Mary’s Burritos! The food was amazing! The topper was getting to sing karaoke with the owner!! We hope to come back soon.”

“every since I first bought a Hunt Brothers pizza I was sold to deliciousness. I worked for pizza hut at the time and the second time I bought a Hunt Brothers pizza I told the clerks at the store the pizza to me is better than Pizza Hut. then I seen the sign in the window and found out Hunt Brothers has breakfast pizza and it's been a little over four years now and Hunt Brothers pizza is all I buy. what I love is taste, quality, price and fact the toppings don't cost extra. keep up the good work and keep the customers happy. Thank you Hunt Brothers.”

“Super fun place! The staff are the nicest people and worked amazingly with our group we brought! We can’t wait to return and are so thankful! Go check them out!”

“🥰I have nothing but love for Carrabba's now. After Helene hit this area, we were left without power for several days at Audubon Place Apartments. We had lost everything in our fridge, freezer, and small deep freezer. We had nothing to eat that didn't require cooking. We took what we would salvage from our freezers (frozen eggrolls and frozen gyoza) and my cast iron skillet to the grill station area. Yes, we cooked it up on the grill taking a turn with every other person there who was also doing the same thing! While we were there talking to our Audubon neighbors, someone from Carrabba's comes and drops off a spread of food! It smelled so amazing, and it looked so lovely. We took some food for ourselves and neighbors who couldn't come over to the grills. Door to door we went in our building passing out some Carrabba's food and our own food. Yesterday, we stopped by to eat a good solid mean since we had been just eating what we could. We were so happy to see others and to actually have a chance at something normal for a change--not just surviving. Our meals were fantastic, and we had enough to take home for another meal later on. We talked to the owner, Ashley O'Bey and thanked her. Not only had they taken care of us, but they have been serving those here working the recovery and restoration (our linemen and etc)! Ashley made sure we had something else to eat later on as well. She took care of us! Each and every person in there working at this time are blessings! Amazing restaurant; amazing people! Beyond 5 stars!”

“I just want to shout out our waitress, Amanda! She was full of life, extremely attentive in the best way, and you knew she had a wonderful rapport with the staff and customers just by listening and seeing her interact. Thanks Amanda for making a meal on the road an extremely enjoyable one 😊”

“Lane is the best Barista in Asheville. When someone remembers my, my son and takes the time to greet me and make my day better - they are doing things the right way. Starbucks, Lane should be an example for your other employees!”

“ordered a 32 piece and were not disappointed! got Nashville hot and santa fe. Nashville wasn't very hot but still tasty. wings were great size and cooked perfectly. so juicy. fries also good. just needed a tad more seasoning. 8 out of 10 will order again!”

“Coffee is always delicious and amazing. Exactly what I need while I shop. The barista that helped me this time made sure I knew that the Starbucks app won't let me claim points I have accumulated on the app. Which I was thankful for.

Kid-friendliness: They always accommodate my two little boys. And always sweet and nice to them. Making them feel special as well.”

“I'm new to the whole Starbucks experience. Got hooked on the Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappuccino. They've GOT to be mixing something illegal into that drink! ? ? Courteous staff and quick service, as usual.”

“So excited to have this wonderful place here in the Asheville/Arden area!!
Excellent fresh and wide variety of food selections, very friendly staff, also great to have various seating options!
The veggie burger is the best I have ever had here in WNC!!
I can't wait to go back!!
(Jill was the best ever!!)”

“I’m beyond thrilled that Olive Garden brought back the Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo! This dish has always been one of my favorites, and it did not disappoint. The steak was perfectly cooked, tender, and flavorful, while the creamy Alfredo sauce had just the right touch of Gorgonzola blue cheese to make every bite pure comfort food bliss. It’s the kind of dish that feels like a celebration in itself!

My company chose Alfredo with added broccoli, and it was a fantastic addition. Fresh, vibrant, and perfectly cooked. To start, we couldn’t resist the classic salad and breadsticks, which were as delicious as ever, another pleasant surprise was the lasagna fritta appetizer. It was our first time trying it, and it was absolutely incredible, crispy on the outside, cheesy and savory on the inside. It’s definitely something we’ll be ordering again.

Thank you, Olive Garden, not only for bringing back the Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo but also for delivering an all-around excellent dining experience. From the warm atmosphere to the consistently delicious food, every visit feels like coming home. I can’t wait to come back for more!!”

“As usual with Chick-fil-A, I enjoyed myself and didn't have to wait long. This is truly THE fast food place to eat fried chicken in the United States in my opinion and this branch is no exception.”

“We were so fortunate to stop at the Cracker Barrel in Arden, North Carolina, on December 6, 2024. They had a warming fire going in the fireplace, very cozy contrasting nicely with the biting cold outside. My fiancée ordered the Chicken with Dumplings, Steamed Broccoli and Hashbrown Casserole. Since it was Fish Fry Friday, that's what I ordered along with Sweet Whole Baby Carrots and Hashbrown Casserole. Everything was done to perfection.

Our server was gracious, kind, thoughtful with a nice sense of humor. We hope to get back up to the Arden Cracker Barrel very soon.

Parking: This Cracker Barrel is nicely situated off of the main road in its own quaint location. All Cracker Barrel restaurants have an aura all of their own which sets them apart from other eateries.”

“First time and will definitely return. Jamie and Cory took care of us, great food, and great service. See ya next time!”

“Always super friendly & helpful & always asks if my Great Pyrenees, Rebel, would like something. I order a lot of extra ice in my Frappuccino and ask for the extra it makes in a 2nd cup so I won't lose all my coffee & they're always okay with this. I've been to other locations who are not, esp the Ingles locations, cus it's seen as getting a whole nother coffee drink? I mean come on, I'm not asking for a freebie, just the excess so I don't lose all my coffee cus of the heavy ice! Airport Rd, Parkway Ctr, & Target Airport Rd locations have always been fine with it & always made me & my Rebel feel welcome etc, they all get a 5 from me, but Airport Rd is my absolute fav loc.. 😊”

“I haven't had IHop in quite a while and it was just the same as the first time I had it. The servers and cook were spot on. Will definitely be back in the future!”

“Huey Magoo’s quickly took my heart! I only eat here for fried chicken and for any fast food chicken anymore! Their hand breaded chicken is soooo good. Light breading, just the right amount of chicken…. Mmmm! Keep it up!!! Love you guys!!!”

“I had a wonder experience. From ordering the food. It was delicious 😋 Then we had shakes , which were delicious as well. I would highly recommend CULVER'S 👌”

“Got the Engineer and the steak and cheese sub is amazing!!!”

“Lunch was fresh, tasty, and quick. We had a little hiccup with our order, but the guy at the drive thru was super nice about it and made the order right.”

“We tried the Pantheon Pizza (It is basically a greek gyro on a pizza) and was pleased and a bit surprised it worked well together. Next time I order it, I'll try it with a pesto sauce instead of a marinara sauce.”

“This is a really good place to eat so if your out this way you need to stop in,”

“best sammichs. always hits the spot.”
