“First visit today and it won’t be our last!! It was fantastic!!!”
“Laila has an excellent lunch buffet. There was a large selection, with roughly 10 entrees as well as a couple desserts. The pricing is reasonable for the high quality. We had excellent service from the waiter Deepak.”
“Every single interaction we had at Limones was sincere, intentional, and well executed. We were greeted and given a place to wait in the lobby with an herbal seltzer. Our server Jamie was extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and gave eloquent, robust descriptions of the food as well as his recommendations we requested. We shared the lardo pizza - you should too. This is cellophane thin pork fat rendered just so to melt into incredible cheese and oven fired crust. I would go back for more this second. Every part of our meal exuded that impeccable attention to detail. A ravioli type pasta with ham cornbread and peas was the perfect Appalachian/Italian pairing. The tiramisu was thick, custardy, eggy in the lightest but creamiest way. The pistachio gelato with pistachio syrup was incredible. My only wish would’ve been to try one more dessert but we did make a 9:30 reservation so you roll the dice. That panna cotta sounded wonderful. I could not imagine anyone being less than thoroughly impressed with Limones. My husband was a chef for 20+ years and felt every aspect of a great meal was part of our meal there. 10/10 Limones.”
“Had a wonderful experience at Chai Pani. I had the Buffett and the food was all so flavorful. Would recommend!”
“extraordinary! we are so fortunate to live down the road from plant. we sat at the bar got a chance to speak to the owner and one of the chefs. the food is out of this world. if I wasn't watching them make it I wouldn't believe that it is vegan. we do our best to keep our vegetarian diets. this place is from another planet. there's nothing on this menu that doesn't blow your mind. the food is delicious and clean and fantastic for you. well worth it”

“Outstanding service along with a seasonal menu is a win! You have to get the filet, eggplant manicotti and peach burrata salad, so good. Can’t wait to get back and try more items!”

“Don’t let the little small exterior fool you ! This place comes with a great menu, fabulous food and a wonderfully attentive staff .Love this place ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😋”
“This is likely our favorite brewery in Asheville! We have a wonderful experience every time we visit which is unfortunately every few years, but always worth the wait. We stopped in last Monday afternoon and were welcomed immediately, the bartender from Denver who I unfortunately didn’t get his name was one of the nicest people we’ve met in a long time. We stayed longer than anticipated because we were having such an enjoyable time with great beers! Their tap list ranges from basic lagers to breakfast porters and many things in between. They have some beer options to go in this location, for merchandise we went next door to the main Green Man brewery. You can’t beat the vibe here at Dirty Jacks though, can’t wait until we can visit again!”
“Great place with a great welcoming staff.”
“We had an incredible dining experience at Jargon! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome. It definitely was the best birthday dinner! Highly recommend!”

“This is one of our favorite spots in Asheville! We highly recommend and they also have an awesome market where you can purchase a yummy Curate Salsa de Aperitivo, spices that you can use to cook with at home, ham sandwiches to go, and so much other delicious flavors from Spain. You guys are awesome! ❤️❤️❤️”

“We have visited once for dinner and once for breakfast and I have a tough time putting down my utensils. Dinner with 4 had tartar and mussels and calamari apps and all were perfect. I had the Gemelli pasta dish (gluten sensitive) and enjoyed the flavors. For breakfast I had the Benedict Hash. My mouth wants to marry that sauce. The steak and eggs were perfectly cooked, the sauce is bold with lemon and paprika and oh so delicious.”
“We had a great time at Table. The staff was attentive and kind. The oysters were perfect. Sometimes oysters aren’t cleaned properly but these were and the taste was spot on with the mignonette. They had wonderful recommendations like the dark chocolate sorbet which was fantastic and made in house. Quiet place for a casual dining experience.”
“Wonderful experience at Tall John’s last night! We stopped in for appetizers and drinks. Everything was amazing! We had the special appetizer and mussels. Excellent wine menu, great atmosphere and overall amazing experience! We will definitely be back for brunch or dinner too! Side note- where can I find the bathroom wallpaper to purchase? Very interesting! 😊”
“We've been there begins & love it! Brought friends for the first time & they were very impressed! Said the duck was as good as the duck they recently had in Paris! Congrats!”
“Asheville is back! Just 6 months after the devastating Hurricane Helene winds, raging floods and overall nightmare, the city is ready for visitors! Yes, cleanup continues, and rebuilding the River Arts district and riverside parks will most likely take years, but so much is open, alive, and ready for tourism. Particularly nice is the Flat Iron Hotel, with suites in a creatively renovated office building in downtown. It's rooftop cafe has nearly 360° views of the entire city.”

“This was hands down one of the best breakfast spots we tried during our weekend getaway to Asheville. My boyfriend and I both got a bacon egg and cheese on a biscuit which was out of this world!! Reminded us of authentic southern homemade cooking, something hard to come by with many chain or franchise restaurants. Highly recommend giving this hidden gem a try!”
“Recommended by Scott at Weinhaus/Asheville- and we loved it! The entire staff was so gracious and attentive. The moule frites and steak frites were perfectly cooked and predented correctly. We cannot compare this to a better one, because we haven't found better than this. I loved watching the pétanque league play. We'll share our lucky find with our friends; when we move here later this year this place is our top destination.”
“The food and service were fantastic! However, the reason I will return every time I visit Asheville is not actually food related. The owners fed their employees and their families the entire time they were shut down for Covid. The owner’s husband is involved in many global humanitarian projects. While I was reading the Cantina’s historical wall display, the researcher responsible for the wall came and spent about 20 minutes chatting with me about the area’s history. I was moved by life work of the people associated with the restaurant and will return in support of goodness in the world.”
“The service was fast and tthe fish was really fresh. The lunch menu makes this very affordable. They were aware of gluten free and could make accommodations so that was cool. I would come here again for sure for a $16 lunch.
Vegetarian options: They have veggies rolls
Dietary restrictions: Gluten free aware!
Kid-friendliness: Solid kids menu”
“Had (another) great time (about our 15th time at the Estate). We stayed two nights and had a suite in the beautiful Inn at Biltmore Estate. The first night we just hung around the Inn and had a great dinner at the Biltmore Estate Dining Room. Elijah was our waiter and he was awesome, very helpful and attentive. My wife needs Gluten Free and they had all kinds of options and were very helpful. Breakfast the next morning (and Wednesday) was the same way, many options for her. Andrea was our server at breakfast both days and was fabulous. I did the buffet and the omelet that was made for me was awesome!
Dietary restrictions: Have many Gluten Free options and the servers will work with you and help!”
“My friends and I ate here during our visit to Asheville in August 2024 and I can’t stop thinking about it. It was so good! I cannot wait to have another opportunity to go back”
“Absolutely terrific. My wife and I come from Long Island, so we know our seafood. The mussels were amazing, a meal in themselves. My wife loved her octopus. I had fish and chips better than what I had in England. Friendly staff, great service. 10/10!”

“We stopped into Waffle House on our way out of town. Everyone was waiting patiently to be seated or order take out. During a time where we had no water, electricity or communication seeing their smiles and quick service allowed for us to have a nice meal. Nina was kind, positive and made sure we had everything we could possible need. Her nephew was hard at work making the hash browns. It made our day and we will always remember this.”
“This is by-far the BEST Waffle House I have ever visited. The server, Marq, was so wonderful, and he definitely needs a raise!! The food was excellent, and all the staff were so friendly and kind. The restaurant was clean, and all precautions, per the pandemic, were being taken for the safety of customers and employees. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone desiring a clean, family- friendly dining experience!!!”
“We went here and the pizza...it literally cured my trauma from being a child of divorce. Kat is amazing as a bartender, knew exactly what we would like in terms of wine selection and pizza. Kudos.”
“Fantastic lamb Frankie. I usually shy away from Indian food but this was great. Flavors were outstanding and the wrap was nice and soft. 5 stars”

“Saw a comedy show at DSSOLVR - it's a great space that's very open and welcoming. They have a large selection of brews, plus a few N/A choices. I really enjoyed the THC beverage and one of their N/A beers.
There's plenty of street parking (with meters) as well as an hourly parking near by.”
“Visited on my most recent trip to Asheville and was probably one of the best meals on the trip. We got a variety of different arepas(including a vegetarian), yucca fries and corn fritters. The yucca fries were by far my favorite of the sides, the vegetarian arepa was delicious but would have been a little elevated by a crunchy element. My sister got the Ropa Vieja and thought it was delish but would have liked a fresh element to top the dish like cabbage. The Pernil arepa was also a favorite but a little more sauce on the top would have put the dish over the top!
Overall, definitely worth a trip but don’t be surprised if you have to wait a couple minutes for a seat as there is limited seating inside. Service was great and they were very attentive.”
“Five Points is on point! Bathrooms were nice and clean, staff was polite and attentive, & the food was really tasty, with generous portions! I highly recommend if you’re in the Montfort area of Asheville that you bring your appetite and enjoy a meal here. Will definitely be back for more! 🍽️ 😋”
“We have lived in Asheville for about 15 years and have been eating Suzy’s food since there was only a food truck. It’s nourishing, delicious, and always filling, not to mention very fairly priced! The ownership and staff are amazing and have always been welcoming to myself and all of my diverse groups of friends and family. We love Gypsy Queen!”
“Today my son and I had a fantastic experience at Guajiro at High Wire Brewing in Biltmore Village. It was only our 2nd time eating with them and where so saddened with the destruction of their truck with Helene. We where happy to check out their new location. Due to medical issues we are only to get out to eat once or twice a month so this was a big deal for us. We ordered to go. I had the roasted pulled pork with black beans and rice and everything was full of flavor and tender. I asked for their delectable cilantro sauce to drizzle over my meal and it set it off amazingly! Huge portion I couldn't even eat half. My son had the cubano and really loved it. Tasty, toasty, gooey, encanta! Everything was hot, fast, well priced, adequate parking, well packaged. We can't wait to go back and hope people check out this local gem!”
“We have been eating here for over a decade. Came back for the first time post-Helene, and it was such a welcoming, comforting experience!! I had the special which was INCREDIBLE. We brought a Vegetarian Platter home and had it later for dinner- delicious.”
“We had a great time at Table. The staff was attentive and kind. The oysters were perfect. Sometimes oysters aren’t cleaned properly but these were and the taste was spot on with the mignonette. They had wonderful recommendations like the dark chocolate sorbet which was fantastic and made in house. Quiet place for a casual dining experience.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Citizen Vinyl has such a great vibe. They take great pride in every aspect of the environment. On one side, you can watch records being pressed and on the other side enjoy artists sublimely mix flavors into amazing drinks. We were fortunate enough to meet and chat with the owners. They are really working to make a difference in the community as well as reshaping the record industry one disc at a time. The staff takes feast pride in everything they do even down the music spinning on the turntable. When you visit, and you cannot go thru Asheville without stopping by, in addition to taking in the pressing and the drinks, make sure to look over the playlist. The team takes into account famous events in music history for each week to build their playlist. I cannot recommend Citizen Vinyl high enough. 6 out of 5 stars.”
“Any time we venture to Asheville (which happens often), we always make Nine Mile a priority. It’s a trifecta of awesomeness: great food, great service, and great atmosphere. We’ll always be back for more! 😋”

“Went 11/16, the day after they re-opened following the ongoing devastation to Asheville and the region. We sat at the counter and enjoyed watching chef Ashleigh prepare our food.
GHF Sando was solid. It's stacked comically high, so don't be shy about smashing it with your palm for a manageable eating experience. I thought the white bread would be inferior to a bun, but it worked out well. I wish I'd asked for more sauce and pickles.
The special Smoked Trout Salad sando had an amazing contrast of flavors and textures: sweet and salty, smokey and briney, (fried then chilled?) trout skin and just a touch of two types of tiny popping fish roe. I was surprised I enjoyed it more than the GHF (catfish), but I can say I thorughly enjoyed both because I ONLY ate half of each. A full sando of either would've been a bit much toward the finish.
Sides were ok. The kitchen pepper carrots were a bit subtle for me. The potato chips were tasty but my portion was slightly darker/burnt than the others I saw coming from the fryer. Hush puppies were straight-forward and their briney spiced mayo sauce was fun.
We had the Our South saison, chef Ashleigh's collab with Burial Beer. Although it wasn't particularly remarkable in and of itself, it was a great compliment to the food and a memorable part of the overall experience.
Wheelchair accessibility: Not accessible. Metal staircase only. All (limited) seating at counter-height.”

“just visiting AVL but I had to leave a review! everyone working here was so kind and happy to be there. they appeared to be out of blueberry crumble cake but were somehow able to find one more piece for me. our lattes were delicious and my boyfriend enjoyed the absolute heck out of his bacon egg and cheese biscuit even complimenting how the bacon was cooked. the biscuit was warm and our lattes were hot! we will definitely be back next time we’re in town”
“We stopped in for a quick lunch on a road trip from Chattanooga to Charlotte. One of the people in our party was vegan, so he suggested coming here. We have had mixed experiences with vegan restaurants in the past, but this was amazing. I had the gyro, which was as good of a gyro as I have had anywhere, vegan or otherwise, and the fries were amazing. The service was fast, friendly, and helpful; and the restaurant was clean and well organized. This is definitely on the top of our list for places to eat in Asheville.”
“Absolutely phenomenal! Tortilleria Molina has quickly become one of my favorite local spots. I’ve tried both the chicken and steak tacos, as well as the steak and pork burritos — and every single bite has been nothing short of amazing. The flavors are rich and authentic, the meat is always perfectly cooked, and everything tastes incredibly fresh. You can tell they put real heart into their food. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or sitting down for dinner, this place delivers every time. Highly recommend!”
“The atmosphere and drinks were amazing! However we arrived around 5 o’clock and were told no coffee after 4pm - but they had coffee for cocktails. It was upsetting for our designated driver who was looking forward to enjoying a coffee while we had cocktails. Hoping this rule will change so we can enjoy a responsible night out in the future!”
“Great vibe, music, bartenders, and beer!”
“Mi familia y yo fuimos hoy por primera vez y tuvimos una excelente experiencia.Probamos la orden de quesa birria con arroz y frijoles charros,un burrito,el cheesecake de dulce de leche y unas ricas horchatas.Todo muy delicioso.Nos encanto el servicio al cliente y la amabilidad.Un ambiente muy cálido y familiar”
“This restaurant can be a fancy night out, dinner with friends or casual meal. Outstanding presentation and service, Matthew G and Megan were so good to us. Amazing flavors and beautiful space, you must add to your list!”
“Good food after a long day, Holly was very kind very sweet went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable entertained cozy and gave us great food recs as well knowledge of the area for our travels”
“They exceeded my expectations! Held my daughters college graduation celebration dinner party of 20. Their meats were done to perfection. The staff were gracious we were all completely satisfied! I highly recommend.”
“Great place to get lots of authentic Asian treats and ingredients 💖”
“Happy hour: 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm M - F
If you love beer or cocktails and you need an early dinner, this is a great happy hour. You can get a huge chicken sandwich that tastes high quality for $9 or a delicious burger for $12. Drinks range from $3 - $10. They have plenty of cocktail and beer options during the happy hour as well. The only thing I wish they did was a red and white house wine with the happy hour menu as well. Other than that this is perfect for people who want a fancy delicious experience without the high price tag.
The happy hour definitely made me want to come back for the full dinner menu! I will 100000% be back.”
“Best funghi pizza I've ever had! Also, not sure if the folks I interacted with were the owners or not, but seemed to be? They were awesome! Super welcoming and made me feel welcome.”

“We had a great dinner with a group of friends last week. The space is beautiful, the food delicious and the service excellent. The octopus was a special treat. Our pasta dishes were hearty and full of fresh flavors. Service was attentive and knowledgeable. Such great meal!”
“I’m blessed to live within walking distance of this gem. If you appreciate a variety of well made beers that may entice you to try something different. Located on Haywood Rd. Across from The Odd, sit outside and enjoy your beer on another Glorious Day in Asheville. Share & Enjoy.🙏🍺🇺🇸”
“Never disappoints, always consistent service with amazing food. Our favorite Asheville restaurant.”
“Restarted, it with crab stuffed mushrooms and spinach, crab meat oysters. They were delicious then we ended it with two lobsters, potatoes and corn and also a salad. Everything was delicious and our waitress was so kind. She even cracked our lobster and took all the meat out of it for us..”
“Incredible food, drinks, and views! Definitely make a reservation and catch the sunset. 10/10 experience.”
“Had dinner with a group of friends. We all enjoyed our meals. Tuna nachos, pork belly and wings were very tasty to start the meal. The main dishes we had included the brick chicken, shrimp and grits and smash burger. We cleaned our plates…great flavors and taste! We would DEFINITELY go back!”
“Visited this weekend, post Helene. Service and food were awesome, as always. The quartet was great to hear again and owner Annibell made it so very special. Visiting? Check these peeps out; you will be glad you did!”
“Amazing food. Best Italian food i have eaten. In a long time. They have indoors and indoors seating, plus a small bar with some stools. My wife and I had the chicken marsala and picatta, respectively, and both were amazing with yummy mash and broccoli. Definitely recommend this place.
Wheelchair accessibility: Yes”
“If you like IPAs this is one of the two places to go in Asheville (the other being Burial). Off the beaten path but if you want really good beer this is a destination. IPAs, sours, stouts, seltzer, smoothies etc are available. When researching the brewery scene for my visit this time I chose 2 for the beer offerings and atmosphere. One was One World (speakeasy vibe and 17oz pours) and New Origin (for IPAs offered). Was not disappointed at either. The IPAs at New Origin were on point with flavor, aroma and body. I tasted both stouts offered and took some home to share with my friends. Their space is very open with an airy, modern feel. This is a brewery that I will definitely visit again. Only beef was that they do not offer flights at this time but they do offer 1/2 pours.”
“Tonight was our first night eating there. The staff was excellent and the food was amazing!! We will go back!!”
“Super cool, unique brewery. Take a walk down an alley and enter through a barrel shaped entry, down a few sets of stairs and then through a door and enter into a speakeasy. Space is cozy and dark, beer and service are very good.”
“Food was very good. I just have too say they charged us a $4.65 kitchen fee. Well I wasn’t having it. When the manager came over he said it’s optional. If it is they should have disclosed that information before they put it on my bill. I think it’s wrong. Never heard of such a fee.
Marla S.”
“First perk was plenty of parking. The whole location was very impressive upon walking in. All of the staff were great and happy to be there. This is different from the original Burial locations and they nailed the theme here. Plenty of great options to drink, including wine and mixed drinks. The food selection was good and mostly well priced. Our favorite part was exploring the property and it's rich history. So much room for gatherings big and small. Next time I would like to do a tour though.”

“Absolutely amazing!! Lindsey was very communicative and answered all of our questions well. She was very easy to talk with and the end result was beautiful. I highly recommend if you want a cake both nice looking and DELICIOUS! We got a small cake and a bunch of different mini desserts and all were delightfully tasty. Could not believe how perfect everything was. Getting the trifles let us get a ton of different flavors as well.”
“Love Rabbit Rabbit! Thanks so much for bringing great live music to NC/Upstate SC!!!”
“This review will be glowing and for a good reason!
I have no idea why this isn’t in our regular rotation of restaurants. We’ve been living here a couple of decades and I have a radio show down the street on 103.3FM, and we go to all the restaurants around this restaurant, but we just never seemed to go here that much. That will certainly change, because everything was delicious!
I started with a dozen oysters which quickly turned into two dozen oysters. Nice and big, served the typical southern way with horseradish and saltine crackers and cocktail sauce. None of the fancy oddness that comes with some other types of oysters. Just good classic stuff!
Speaking of classic, my husband got the oyster po’ boy and loved it. At first he asked for extra remoulade, and the server forgot it, but by the time she got back, he let her know he really didn’t need it. It’s rare that this sandwich is so well flavored that it does not need extra remoulade. I thought it was just perfect.
I had the étouffée. I love a good étouffée. I want to to have just the right amount of spice and just the right amount of crawfish. Although, I could eat pounds of crawfish, and it would never be enough. The sausages were excellent it had enough crawfish. The flavoring was really good. I could have done with another helping of rice, but that was just because I wanted to soak up all the extra sauce.
We did not have dessert, because we had been baking cookies for weeks at home, and so we had tons left over.
For drinks we had the rotating gingers revenge, which we often have, and we often frequent their taproom as well. And I had a really nice half pour of beer to go with my oysters and a nice house Red to go with my étouffée.
Server was excellent without being intrusive.
My only complaint is that it was a little chilly. But with a big glass window, I suppose that could not be avoided. If I had one suggestion it would be to turn up the heat a little bit in the winter time!
We will be back. I’m craving the étouffée already.
Parking: It’s a west Asheville miracle! They have a parking lot in the back.
Kid-friendliness: Totally fine for kids. We saw a couple of kids while we were there.”
“I am a foodie/food-snob. I admit it. I am so often disappointed by my restaurant experiences. Last night, my partner and i had one of the best meals in Asheville we can remember. Bold, sensual, well-balanced dishes (somewhere in the neighborhood Charleston's Xiao Bar Biscuit). Off the hook (if a little pricey) wine list.”
“We had absolutely wonderful service & delicious cocktails during our visit in Asheville. Meticulously crafted cocktails by a very knowledgeable mixologist (can’t remember his name). We will definitely be back next time we’re in town.”
“Am testifying of the miraculous work of a great traditional doctor called Dr MOMOH. I have been suffering from herpes since last 2 years with my wife but today I am happy that am cure from it with the herbal medicine made by Dr MOMOH the great healer, I was browsing the Internet searching for help when I came across a testimony shared by someone on how Dr MOMOH cure her from Herpes Disease. I quickly contacted him to get the cure and today I am now free from the Virus.”
“We try to come for a visit to the Grove Park and Sunset Terrace any time we're in Asheville (if we're not already staying at the resort), because it is just a beautiful area. The ambience can't be beat- half the time I just sit there staring out over the subterranean spa mesmerized by the landscaping and the beautiful blue ridge of mountains in the distance. It's that good. Service was great- thank you, Erin. My husband had the chocolate raspberry martini and the BLT (the fried green kind) and loved it. Fries are super yummy btw. I had the Caesar salad with an espresso martini and shared in his BLT. No disappointments here.”
“I kept wondering if Mrs Craig Vanessa was really an expert trader like they say, that she is not a scammer like the others, then I contacted her and I was shocked and amazed that with just $1,500 I invested, Mrs. Craig Vanessa helped me managed my account and after 7 Days of trading, I made my first withdrawal of $16,700. I'm here to testify the good work of her after she made a good profit for me in my investment. She's reachable via WhatsApp with the number on her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa”
“My girlfriend and I were in town to celebrate our one year. We decided to try out Tupelo Honey. The food was absolutely fantastic and the service was amazing. It has a great atmosphere with an outdoor seating option with a view of downtown. If you’re ever in Asheville I HIGHLY recommend you giving Tupelo Honey a chance!”
“Absolutely perfect! Ben was the best server and was so easy to talk to! the food was incredible and the drinks were delicious. loved the atmosphere. V chill! would Definitely return on our next visit. thanks for making my husband's birthday so great! 👏 Bravo”
“We were celebrating my mother's 75th birthday. The view from the terrace was breathtaking. There was a worm in my husband's salad, but the rest of the meal was excellent.”
“I ordered the grilled salmon with ricotta-filled gnocchi in a pumpkin cream sauce. It came topped with micro greens and mixed fruit with the most wonderful acidic dressing. The balance of flavors, textures and visual appeal made this dish just off the chart incredible! And the service was fantastic even with a packed house. I am looking forward to revisiting!”
“Twisted Laurel was a perfect fit for our day trip to Asheville. The food was delicious. The service is fantastic. Thanks, Josh!”
“Great experience. The atmosphere was inviting and nice for children.”
“Great beer selection and I really like how the Whale logo is incorporated into the space and merchandise.”
“We had a wonderfully romantic dinner. The steaks were cooked to absolute perfection. Some of the best local sourced flavorful meat I’ve had the chance to eat. Wow! The wine was delicious.”
“Eat here about 3 times a week! A not so hidden gem in downtown Asheville that has an awesome story and amazing food and brews! If you are interested in the brewing industry, White Labs is a must see/must visit! They also have free parking! I hear their HR person is pretty awesome too 😜.”
“I didn't think a pizza could ever bring me to tears, but I was wrong. I was visiting Asheville with my husband, 3-year-old, and 5-month-old when Hurricane Helene hit. That Friday night, when communications and water had been cut off, we didn't know the extent of devastation that area experienced. I went out to find some food for my family and saw some people inside Mission Pizza. I caught them as they were walking out and asked if they were open (again, communications were out, so at the time I didn't realize that I was asking a ridiculous question). The owner was about to drive away as I was talking to some of the employees and he overheard me say I was visiting. He gave me the pizza that he was taking to a friends house. I refused, but he insisted that I take it for my family. It was such a kind gesture on such a hard day that turned into an even harder weekend as the situation worsened. My thoughts, prayers, and donations are all being sent to the people of WNC! And thank you so much to the wonderful soul who fed my family that night. I will never forget the kindness he showed me.”
“Great place to relax, watch a game or enjoy music and smoke a cigar! Very nice place.”
“Fantastic!! Waiter was Cassidy he was very nice and welcoming with great knowledge of the menu, this was our first time there and was so relieved to find a great noodle stop as we have tried others and were highly disappointed but not here. We got the dynamite shrimp , so creamy and just a hint of heat, we got the kids ramen so next extra stuff just the noodles and broth and those had great flavor they approved!! I got the deluxe ramen with the black garlic oil and pork belly so bold and smooth, and we got the spicy ramen which had a great heat level and my husband loved. Over all great food worth the price which wasn’t super high , nice environment with great music choice would highly recommend!!!! Thanks again Cassidy”
“There was a wonderful variety of items to choose from, it was difficult to decide. We would have gotten the jalapeño fries and cauliflower tacos but their main frier wasn’t working so we got the chorizo tacos, coconut curry and sweet potato Ruben which came with crispy homemade fries (they have a small frier that was working). We don’t enjoy vegan cheese that is made using Science so we opted for the cashew queso which was absolutely delicious. The tacos were our favorite item. The texture and taste were a solid 10 out of ten. Which made me miss trying the cauliflower tacos even more. The Ruben was our 2nd favorite. I usually have tempeh meat on a Ruben so I couldn’t imagine how they could make sweet potato taste “meaty” but they did. It was so delicious, I will be looking up how to make that “sweet potato meat” at home. The Thai Panang Curry was the only disappointment. It was fresh tasting and the tofu was fried to crispy perfection. It just needed more sauce. I got the Blackberry Ginger Mint mocktail. It was just the right amount of sour and was a beautiful presentation. Our only regret was not leaving room for dessert. If we lived in Asheville we would be regulars at this establishment. Our server was also Excellent! She was attentive without being intrusive. She pre-bussed the table and refilled our water glasses and asked if we needed another round and brought us our food perfectly timed! We went back the next day and had the Tostada Enchilada salad (it’s the choriso taco grown up), the Supreme pizza with no cheese (nice crispy crust and a good amount of sauce), the Amaretto Cherry Cheesecake (absolutely worth going back just for that!) the peanut butter cookie (the only disappointment) and the Lime Aid (perfecly balanced and not too sweet). But I preferred the one yesterday. Another wonderful server. Love this place! Updated from previous review on 2025-03-02”

“We love this place. One of the best steaks in town. Sides are amazing and don’t even get me started on deserts. Staff is wonderful and sweet. Couldn’t ask for a better experience.”
“Visited the Asheville, NC location tonight with my daughter. Great food and great service!!! Dylan was our server and he was awesome. We had a gift card from Christmas that we were finally getting to use, since we don’t have an Outback close to home. They were having trouble getting it to go through the register, he was nice enough to get the manager and they took care of it. I really appreciated the way he checked on us multiple times during dinner and took time out to take care of our gift card issue. :)”
“We are staying for a few days and have been enjoying the property. Beautiful! Went to the lounge to enjoy a drink before dinner, Savannah greeted us right away and provided great recommendations for wine. She was super kind! (We bought a bottle & will return soon!)”

“A stop at Walls Wine Bar while in downtown Asheville is a must! You can enjoy a taste, a glass or a bottle of some exceptional international wines. Walk through the gallery to take in the amazing photography of Benjamin Walls on safari or step outside and relax in the open air patio while people watching. While you are there, learn about once in a lifetime travel opportunities; the stuff dreams are made of!”

“We love our outings to Creekside - Georgia loves the chicken and fries and I had buffalo wings this time which I really enjoyed. I usually get the salad with smoked chicken and its my all time favorite. The staff are great and the atmosphere is cozy. So if you are looking for a great place to eat, with a good atmosphere and great eats - Creekside is my favorite place in East Asheville.”
“My friends and I stopped in while we were on a weekend trip in Asheville. We didn’t know what to expect and were surprised by the vibe there, but we had a great time! The owner, Imran(sp?), took us under his wing, gave us a quick tour, and talked with us for a bit. We had a great time!”
“Recommended by Scott at Weinhaus/Asheville- and we loved it! The entire staff was so gracious and attentive. The moule frites and steak frites were perfectly cooked and predented correctly. We cannot compare this to a better one, because we haven't found better than this. I loved watching the pétanque league play. We'll share our lucky find with our friends; when we move here later this year this place is our top destination.”
“We have visited once for dinner and once for breakfast and I have a tough time putting down my utensils. Dinner with 4 had tartar and mussels and calamari apps and all were perfect. I had the Gemelli pasta dish (gluten sensitive) and enjoyed the flavors. For breakfast I had the Benedict Hash. My mouth wants to marry that sauce. The steak and eggs were perfectly cooked, the sauce is bold with lemon and paprika and oh so delicious.”
“I like eating here. The service is very good and the food is plentiful and delicious. The atmosphere is friendly, and I have yet to wait for a table because there are so many. This restaurant is quiet but with music. There is full service bar that is very nice. A good place to meet a friend for drink where you can talk.”
“I am one of the organizers for a monthly network gathering group. We chose to go to DSSOLVR and VOWL for our event this month. We had approximately 200 folks there this past Tuesday (January 14, 2024). The staff nailed it at both bars. Serving 200 people at one time can be a challenge... the staff did not disappoint. It was an extremely welcoming evening from the start to the finish. The owners and management were awesome to work with and delivered everything that they promised and more. They provided a DJ for us (DJ Abu Dissarray), which made the evening even that much more fun. Many of the event-goers had not been to either of these bars, but I heard from many folks that they planned on going back due to the friendliness of the staff and the treatment that we received. A big THANK YOU to both DSSOLVR and VOWL. Your new friends at TakeOverTuesday (instagram: TakeOverTuesdaysAVL)”

“We were a party of 8...in the summer...around lunchtime...so it was crowded but we were seated quickly..had biscuits right away and our food came out quickly...portions were huge..(.I think the meatloaf slice was a pound of beef by itself.)..Staff were courteous and helpful with our wheelchair and walkers.food was reasonably priced... our only "negative" comment would be that some desserts ran out :( but everything else was great!”
“My husband and I had the Brussel sprouts and the chicken Tingo Tacos. These were listed as small plates..but both were ample portions and very tasty. We also got a craft beer and a hard cherry cider.. both good. We were celebrating our 40th anniversary..and our server brought us a delicious rich chocolate brownie-like bar and chocolate macaroon along with two glasses of champagne. Excellent service.”
