Restaurants in Asheville

“Never disappoints, always consistent service with amazing food. Our favorite Asheville restaurant.”

“The hype is real. Each item we ordered was perfectly cooked. So many delicious crispy sides we had to try them all. The textures in the arepa were so good. Could eat here every single day.”

“We were highly impressed with our first visit to Tall John’s! We had the Bravette Steak and Duck, both cooked to perfection! The cocktails were equally unique and tasty! Cool Vibes & yummy food! Oh, and we both have a gluten issue and were accommodated easily! We will be back ❤️”

“Absolutely love this place 10/10 for sure”

“This review is long overdue! My spouse and I did dinner at Neng Jr’s recently and the radicchio salad and the noodles literally haunt my dreams because it is so good and i can’t wait to get back again to have it. They adobo oyster was fire too. We sat at the bar and the staff was incredibly attentive and kind. Overall it was an incredible experience.”

“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.”

“Been a customer in 2007 and still in Love with the place.”

“My spouse and I ate here tonight and hands down our new favorite spot! Our server was amazing - very personable. We started with Samosas. For our entires we had Chicken Tikka Masala and Mom’s Chicken Curry with two orders of garlic naan bread. Hands down the best food we’ve ever had! If you get the Samosas, I recommend holding onto the two dipping sauces and dip the garlic naan in them! Chefs kiss 🙂 -Bailey and Payton (BP)”

“On Saturday, February 14th, I went downtown for a solo dinner at Huli Sue’s and quickly realized I had completely forgotten Billy Strings was in town for the weekend. Between Valentine’s Day and a sold-out show within walking distance, downtown was absolute chaos. Walking into Huli Sue’s, though, felt like stepping into a well-oiled machine. The hostess (I truly wish I had gotten her name) greeted everyone calmly and kept the flow of guests organized and welcoming. They were operating on a reservation system for the evening honestly genius given the circumstances. Even as a party of one, the wait was about an hour and a half, which I completely understood. Knowing I was craving their food, she suggested takeout. She even let me sit at the table where they roll silverware so I could look over the menu and wait for my roommate to text their order and never once made me feel rushed. While I waited, I watched her run the entrance like an absolute goddess. She was pleasant, efficient, and incredibly organized. Every table being notified was already set, down to water poured and ready. When guests arrived, she greeted them with genuine enthusiasm and walked them to their tables like they were honored guests. Downtown was a madhouse. People kept walking in without reservations, and she calmly explained the wait. When guests were understandably discouraged, she let them know they were accepting reservations for the 15th and I honestly didn’t hear a single person turn her down. She made everyone feel welcome. Despite the cold and the madness outside, the restaurant remained calm and peaceful inside. Even at full capacity, the volume stayed comfortable. The kitchen ran like an orchestra no yelling, no chaos, no stressed staff just teamwork and smiles. I wanted to take a moment to praise Huli Sue’s, their staff, and their phenomenal hostess. They handled what could have been an overwhelming night with grace and efficiency. They already had my business —but after that experience, I’ll make it a point to go even more often.”

“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 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.”

“Food was absolutely delicious. Cheese plate a vegan cheese lovers dream. Amazing service by Vic! She paid close mind to the nut allergy at our table and was very attentive and kind. Highly recommend for vegans and non vegans alike! Save room for dessert!!!”

“Excellent fine dining establishment! Kudos to Jay and the rest of the wait staff! They were a fabulous hostess, servers and bartenders during our experience. Food--Phenomenal! Checkout Jazmin if you're I'm the neighborhood! Kurt and Tam”

“We were on our way through Asheville and found this little gem after our first choice was closed. Do glad we did. \n\nThey were quite full/busy but they fit us in and were very kind and gracious about it. \n\nThe entire experience was special. About four different staff members checked on us throughout our evening. \n\nTheir knowledge of the menu was incredible, and especially their very extensive wine list. \n\nWe started with their “Darling” bread and butter. Absolutely amazing. I would have been happy with just that. \n\nTheir offerings of different locally grown greens was amazing. \n\nWe had the lamb kebabs and rabbit pasta for our main. Our outstanding sever recommended two incredible wines to pair. \n\nAn incredible experience from start to finish.”

“What a great place to celebrate our birthdays. Two from KY and two from Augusta GA to enjoy celebrating all four of us having birthdays. Stuart who waited on us was EXCELLENT. We asked him about the damage to Asheville and we could hear it in his voice how hurt he was because others suffered so much. He was very gracious that we chose Asheville to celebrate our birthdays. I had the best shrimp and grits ever and I'm 73. Every meal the fried oysters, salads, Reuben Sandwich there is no negative experience. I hesitated to order the banana pudding but was intrigued by the description. So glad I did, it was so different than what I've ever had but the BEST I've ever had. Thank you to everyone working that day on 1/22 that wished us Happy Birthdays and made this such a wonderful memory for all 4 of us. Very welcoming, great personalities but above all GREAT FOOD.”

“Hands down the best food I've had in the southeast in my 30 years living here. We will absolutely be back!”

“Our first time eating at the rooftop restaurant and we are so glad we did. We had pizza-Margarita and the Meatball ricotta. Both delicious. Some shared the chicken wings and crass salad, both very good! Kyndall was our server and she was very attentive and friendly. Also had Affogato for dessert and it was so delicious. Would recommend for anyone.”

“Fantastic food. Fantastic service. Lovely ambience in the space. It feels like the kitchen really cares about the food it brings out. One thing I particularly liked was how well all the dishes were seasoned. A bit of heat here, a bit of spice there, and a dash of sweet when needed. And speaking of sweet, the lemon curd cheesecake is a wonder. I love it when the cheesecake part of the cheesecake isn't oversweet. The lemon curd gives a sweet and tart compliment to the creaminess of the dairy in the dish. It's dangerous, I tell you! We'll be back for more.”

“Incredible food, drinks, and views! Definitely make a reservation and catch the sunset. 10/10 experience.”

“My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our last visit to Jettie’s. We sat at the bar where Mitch was super attentive to our needs. As always, the food was outstanding. The oysters were second to none. The conversation with the staff added to our night of entertainment. We will definitely be returning.”

“Fantastic meal last night at Jargon! The ginger carrot 🥕 soup was incredible. We paired it with Asparagus and risotto. The strawberry dessert was amazing and the after dinner drinks with espresso beans were perfection.”

“Fantastic service, ambiance and especially the food. My favorite place for a nice dinner.”

“My friend and I decide to go to Little D's due to an extremely long wait at another establishment. I'm so glad this is where we ended up! EVERYTHING is top notch- decor, service, cocktails & food! We sat at the bar for immediate seating. There is not one dish we tried that needed anything! Perfectly seasoned and plated with innovative flavors, textures & artistry. Thank you for the amazing experience.”

“If I could give them 10 stars, I would! I took my husband here for his birthday dinner last night, & we definitely felt like we had a culinary experience! The drinks we spectacular & affordable. We did the chef tasting for dinner, & the staff made it like telling a story through food. Our server Jesse G was so personable, animated, made great recommendations, & very attentive to us the entire meal. Okay, so just about the food. We are total foodies, especially on a vacation/for a special occasion like this. We loved unqiue, tasty foods, & occasionally enjoy a more fine dining experience. Our meal at Ukiah was that & more! It was served in 10 small plate courses. They spaced each dish, timed them perfectly, & each dish built on the last in such a way that was truly amazing. Just when we thought the last one was our favorite, the next one was as good or better. The vanilla, almond, coconut cake with house ice cream finisher almost wrecked me lol! I could have licked the plate clean, but I was honestly too full to commit that hard. Every staff member that brought us a dish, refilled our drinks, cleared our table, etc were so friendly. Jesse (funny enough, also my husband's name & same spelling) was one of the best waiter's we've had, but also the kind of person you just want to be friends with after you eat & go hang out at the bar or something. It is definitely a higher end restaurant, but for the experience & service, it is well worth the money! We hope to return some day for sure!”

“the food is fantastic 10 out of 10 would eat there again.”

“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”

“Joe was fantastic and so was the cider. Definitely will be back!”

“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.”

“Live music, no cover charge, great local atmosphere”

“Go see Dave if you want an incredible meal and experience! We had the best dinner here and I couldn’t be more impressed.”

“Great food and atmosphere”

“this store was exceptionally clean and well staffed. grill cook did great and held the grease!!! food was well prepared. waitress was a veteran of hospitality.”

“Great food, great service, clean & friendly.. I don’t think they’ve ever had a brawl at this location, but I could be wrong.”

“The comedy shows in The Orange Peel's Comedy Basement, Pulp Lounge, are AMAZING with some of the areas bast comics performing plus a comedy open mic. The host Cody Hughes is fantastic and the bar staff is wonderful!”

“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!!!”

“The worst service ever you're always in line at least 15 minutes. Order two Quarter Pounders no pickles no lettuce no tomatoes just a bun and a piece of meat. And the staff seem to be untrained and unfriendly. Too many fast food restaurants around that McDonald's to ever visit it again. On a scale of 1 to 5 stars no stars”

“The food was fresh and hot. service was fast and friendly.”

“Our lunch today was outstanding! Amazing flavors and three of us shared 4 items. Hunter was so accommodating and nice today, we will be back!”

“Stopped in while visiting Asheville and it’s such a cool place. Great atmosphere and even greater treats. I had the gluten free chocolate cake and it was fantastic. So let’s text and so rich I had to take my time eating it. My husband got a shaved ice that was like nothing we’d ever had before., so refreshing and fun.”

“A large group of us went and shared a bunch of plates, every single item on the menu was incredibly flavorful. It was hard for us to make up our minds on what was our favorite. Also, lots of good options for vegetarians. The atmosphere is beautiful and fun as well. I wish we had one in Greenville, but we will be back when we’re in Asheville!”

“Perfect stop for a takeout drink, but also would have loved to stay and lounge. Barista was friendly and made the best honey cardamom oat milk lattes! Ask about the current lineup of syrups!”

“Super friendly folks in a great location. Get yourself a bottle of wine and a charcuterie board and have a great afternoon. Highly Recommend.”

“Garlic knots flowing with oil. So good!!”

“Love this local brewery! Definitely a fav of mine in Asheville.”

“WOW! Very good food and service. We will be back to try other dishes from their menu.”

“Favorite brewery in Asheville. Was looking for quality craft beer (good sours and Hazy IPAs) preferred. This place hit all the check boxes. Located in downtown Asheville, walkable from where we stayed. Close to the slopes area and other breweries/food/shopping. The sours were amazing. Candy/sweet flavors. IPAs were quality. They do have food as well although we didn’t eat here. Decent sized tap room with an outdoor space. If you’re looking for a good craft brew place do stop in here for a try. IPA/sour forward but they have lagers, darks/stouts and some side pull drafts as well.”

“Recomiendo los mejores tacos y la atención del mesonero Manuel y Shia”

“Been a loyal customer for many years! The new owners have taken my favorite restaurant to even higher levels. Absolutely the very best sushi in the greater Asheville area!”

“We dined at Zambra for a birthday celebration while visiting Asheville and were blown away by the fantastic flavor combinations, creative menu and the vibe of the restaurant. The service was amazing as well, so that always brings a great meal together. I’d highly recommend Zambra and will dine there again next time I’m in town”

“Was so happy we stopped in this time cause we couldn't get in 2020. Service top in class and Jordan was amazing behind the bar. We decided to do the trick tower seafood tower and well worth the money despite other reviews on it. Never thought I would go the the mans and order seafood but it was like we were on the coast. We can not wait to go back and enjoy more of the menu. Great atmosphere and like I said staff was amazing. 🥰”

“muy buena pizza.. lo mejor que hablan español.. recomendada a 100÷ un sabor muy diferente a los demás.”

“This Crumbl is great! The staff is always friendly & welcoming and the cookie selection is always marvelous and delicious. I enjoy coming here and can't wait to visit again soon. Yummy!”

“Absolutely delicious. Got the omelet and the French toast and it was phenomenal”

“We’ve done takeout at Good Hot Fish before and enjoyed it. Had a friend who wanted seafood for her birthday so I suggest GHF since she’s been wanting to try it.

Our group ordered a variety of dishes and took them over to The Whale across the street to enjoy with some beers and wine.

This recent visit blew us all away. The Catfish sandwich was amazing! The 3 sides (collards, grits, potato salad) were all great as well. I tried some bologna trout, and wow was that delicious.

The sandwich and 3 sides were plenty of food to split with my husband.”

“I wanted a good brunch spot before exploring Asheville. I found Flour and read the reviews. According to the reviews, the bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit was a must-try because of how delicious and crispy the biscuit was. I wanted to see for myself how delicious this biscuit was, and I agree with the reviews. This biscuit combo was delicious!

I loved how the top of the biscuit was crispy while the inside was fluffy and tasty. The biscuit wasn’t dry, and the bacon was delicious with the melted cheese and egg. The potatoes were also delicious and crispy, especially with the aioli.

The staff was friendly and accommodating. I received my order quickly, within 5 minutes. I will definitely come back to Flour when I visit Asheville again!”

“Awesome spot in the heart of downtown Asheville this piano bar is a blast! Some of the most talented piano players, they know pretty much anything you throw at them to play. Go check it out!”

“Great fresh food! Loved the Belgian fries as well!”

“Lo mejor de lo mejor. Una bebidas 🍷 súper deliciosas 🥰🥰”

“fantastic cocktails and really fun atmosphere.Sit and the bar and choose your own super fun cup! Mocktails are delicious for those who don't want alcohol. overall vibe is outstanding and service is top notch! you seriously need to come here!!!”

“These folks are terrific community supporting human beings who love what they do and love sharing their creations with others. I thoroughly enjoy supporting them.”

“Great people. Favorite Thai food in Asheville. Support them when you can.”

“As a Miami native, Cuban food is my soul food. I haven't had real, authentic Cuban food since South Florida... until now. Can food comfort your very soul? Yes, yes it can. And I have found it at Guajiro. Thank you, Guajiro, for bringing the tropics to the mountains. ❤️”

“Delicious, authentic 🌮 Always look forward to stopping when in Asheville.”

“Cool little place! Split one of the vanilla sandwiches because it was so big! The ice cream was great and the cookies were soft and delicious! Friendly staff as well. Will be back from TN!”

“I hadn’t had 비빔밥 since 1985 in Korea. It was even better than I remembered. Everything was delicious and we will be back soon!”

“The food was spot on, and the service was excellent. The interior has a really cool atmosphere. One thing to note is that the photos make the restaurant look much larger than it actually is—it's a small, intimate space with vaulted ceilings, which I personally enjoyed. The menu is also intentionally small, allowing them to focus on quality, and it appears they rotate the offerings regularly.”

“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!”

“Fantastic spot for a special occasion, or an intimate date night, or just a great vacation dinner. Food preparation and presentation is amazing. Visually stunning as well as delicious. The staff is attentive, helpful, and engaging without ever being overbearing. A table by a window offers a stunning view with dinner. Not inexpensive, but worth every dollar. A must visit!”

“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.”

“Shout out to Will Harris the new general manager of the Edison Restuarant! He and his team had the joy of taking care of my group of 7 crazy and rowdy ladies on 12/10 for our annual Christmas dinner before viewing all the Gingerbread houses! His team did a phenomenal job! Welcome to the Omni, Will!”

“Some of the best food we have ever had and a fantastic experience to start our marriage out with. The steak was amazing and the level of care from the staff was top notch. We don't experience many opportunities like this so for us this was a great experience”

“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.”

“AMAZING!! Best steak and lobster Deviled eggs, onion soup, tartare sooo good!! Our waitress was awesome and on top of things. Will be back.”

“Spectacular destination. The staff, the food, the history . . . It all comes together for a perfect experience!”

“Delicious veg food (including sweets), great helpful staff and cool stickers. Highly recommended!!!”

“Yum! Great pizza! Wonderful, friendly staff.”

“I thought it was a market but I still was happy when I found it. It's really a food court. I love the India one in the back right. Delicious with real meat. And obviously marinated because the flavor was extremely delicious and so tender!”

“They have a lot of vegan options! The environment is beautiful too with lots of plants ❤️”

“Love Cantina. Thought it had reopened since the website gave hours. Sorry to arrive and see no trespassing on the building other open businesses say Cantina not reopening. So sorry to hear that. Always enjoyed their great food when passing through the area.”

“Absolutely fantastic experience!! From the greeting when we walked in - to the bar .. we were so blown away by the service! I got a hazy IPA that came out more hazy than usual. The bartender gave me a different IPA but someone in charge of brewing also saw our interaction, fixed the keg and brought me a new beer!! Such a great team!!

The restaurant was super clean & inviting. We will be back!!”

“Enjoyable dining & great service!”

“The Hot Chocolate Freeze was delicious!”

“I’ve eaten here 2 times in the last 2 months. The food is delicious , the service has been excellent and the atmosphere is so nice . I’ve enjoyed eating on their patio . I know I’ll be returning .”

“best Thai in town lalalalala”

“My wife and I happened upon this magical gem tonight. We had spent the day in Asheville and were actually looking for a Mexican restaurant. My wife saw this and said that we hadn't had BBQ in a good while. So, we changed our plans. We walked in and noticed the awards on the walls and the Pride shirt. Every minute inside was amazing! The front of the house staff were all so friendly. The food was absolutely wonderful! When one of the ladies that works the dining room came to the table, she was warm, sweet, and spunky! We cannot thank you enough for such an amazing experience! We will definitely be returning and bringing our kids next time! 🤟🏻❤️ Thank you Punky Brewster! 😉”

“We are visiting from St. Louis, where we have many great pizza options. We were looking for something that could compete with our favorites from home. Fahrenheit did not disappoint. The garlic knots were delicious. The salad was quite good. The pizza was great. The service was excellent and we liked the laidback and quiet atmosphere. I highly recommend.”

“Seriously.. the best honey lavender matcha in Asheville and the drive-thru is so convenient! Whenever I have friends in town, this is where we get our Saturday morning pick-me-up ☺️”

“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! 🍽️ 😋”

“Went on the brewery 1.5 hour tour and it was well worth the $15 ticket price! Mo was our guide and she was great! I got to sample different beers that I normally wouldn’t try and really liked most of them! I highly recommend this tour!”

“The veggie breakfast bowl was so delicious and amazing I think it was my favorite breakfast ever in my 19 years of life. Thank you very much it was delicious and very good service. I am visiting from Vermont.”

“What an awesome early dinner! We had drinks, which I could have drank so many of them! We had the 6 pc wings and no doubt the best wings I've ever had. Then the real prize...my boneless ribeye! Melt in your mouth delicious!! My date had the 6pcs. Of fried oysters with fries and slaw,everything was so wonderful and our service was on point!”

“What a great place to celebrate our birthdays. Two from KY and two from Augusta GA to enjoy celebrating all four of us having birthdays. Stuart who waited on us was EXCELLENT. We asked him about the damage to Asheville and we could hear it in his voice how hurt he was because others suffered so much. He was very gracious that we chose Asheville to celebrate our birthdays.

“Love Cantina. Thought it had reopened since the website gave hours. Sorry to arrive and see no trespassing on the building other open businesses say Cantina not reopening. So sorry to hear that. Always enjoyed their great food when passing through the area.”

“It's Tuesday and just has one of the most delicious meals, of my life.. Burrito Verde and a tamale.. Awesome-ness... This restaurant exceeds all my expectations. I am a 67 year old male, who has been around the block a time or two, and loves my Mexican food.. It's a must have food experience.. 0ur Party of 5 just celebrated a birthday here, and absolutely loved our meals.. 5 STAR all the way”

“The Crazy Crab roll was insanely delicious. Calamari yummy.”

“Server was an older woman who was down right rude. She brought our food and I reminded her of my biscuit. She snapped at me that I hadn't ordered one- even though we had had a discussion about flavor of jelly- to which she replied "whatever". As she marched away I said to my daughter that I guess she didn't want her tip. She did bring the biscuit and did try to be overly nice, which felt very insincere., almost sarcastic. She had ruined our little celebration brunch with her absolutely awful attitude. I used to love this place.”

“I requested a 2 night stay in my Harvest Host / Boondockers app. I got a quick approval in mins. The brewery was easy to get to, had lots of parking & there was a small local band playing when I arrived. Sky was my very friendly bartender. I asked for a beer suggestion than was on the lighter side. He suggested the Cowboy Poet. He was spot on. I also ordered food from the pizza place. Was really delicious. I got to see Sky on my second night also. I would definitely revisit. The information & description of what to expect were exact. Thank you for sharing your business with the camping community.”

“Visit on holiday package. Breakfast was fabulous well plated and delicious. Thanksgiving dinner was plated in an unappetizing manner with food smashed up in domes next to each other with cranberry sauce ( not good for diabetic)poured on top of everything. everything was lukewarm and gravy had no flavor. I requested a new plate and received 2 plates with everything in separate bowls still lukewarm. Felt like a snub from the Chef for commenting on plating. Lady next to us had a beautifully plated steak. If you can't do a well plated turkey dinner don't offer it as an option.”

“Stopped in while visiting Asheville and it’s such a cool place. Great atmosphere and even greater treats. I had the gluten free chocolate cake and it was fantastic. So let’s text and so rich I had to take my time eating it. My husband got a shaved ice that was like nothing we’d ever had before., so refreshing and fun.”

“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 loved everything about this restaurant!”

“They're wonderful bagels but would taste better if they didn't come burned (especially the cinnamon raisin) which makes the outside crumbly and the inside not so chewy.”

“Food was good, service excellent - if a little rushed. Food came really quickly. We were close to an AC outlet so we were cold but otherwisecit was a pleasant environment and a nice place to go”

“The atmosphere and service at Edison were excellent. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout our visit. Unfortunately, the food didn’t live up to expectations. The burger and pork sandwich were both disappointing, and even the iced tea lacked flavor. While the setting and service were great, the food quality needs improvement for me to return.”

“My girl & I went to Hemingway’s Cuba in Asheville last night, for a special date night. We had reservations for 7:00pm. You won’t believe the beautiful, scenic outdoor rooftop. We were sat right at the edge where we could see all of downtown, the mountains, all the people walking below and the beautiful sunset. It was breathtaking. My girl had the coconut shrimp, I had the angus cheeseburger. The food was fantastic. I highly recommended this place for a romantic date.”

“I’ve eaten here 2 times in the last 2 months. The food is delicious , the service has been excellent and the atmosphere is so nice . I’ve enjoyed eating on their patio . I know I’ll be returning .”

“Outstanding! Amazing Farm to table breakfast! French Press coffee! Generous portions! Those Biscuits!”

“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!”

“Been a customer in 2007 and still in Love with the place.”

“Great food great service . Crabcakes are phenomenal !!!”

“This place was great! The burger and fries were delicious. The atmosphere was laid back and comfortable. We also had great service on what seemed to be a pretty busy night.”

“Recomiendo los mejores tacos y la atención del mesonero Manuel y Shia”

“We had a great dinner and an awesome server! Thank you so much!!”

“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!”

“Smaller than expected, really loved the vibe. Staff were super friendly and attentive, drinks were good and fairly priced for the place. Did not try much food but did try the affogato and it was perfect afternoon treat. Really like the concept and would definitely return. Side note, we really liked how they included other local shops/bars/restaurants in the back of their menu and ended up trying a couple from their list :)”

“Perfect for watching sports games as a sports bar would be. The wings are phenomenal (sorry dad), but they also have burgers and other selections of food. They also have a decent selection of drinks. The servers are very friendly and talkative, so I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a chill, fun experience!”

“Worth stopping in to relax and unwind. Seasonal coffee tastes great! Highly recommend.”

“This place was incredible! An absolutely delicious chocolate chip cookie. And I tried a Kouign-Amman which was so good that we went bought and bought the remaining stock of them. A must try when you come to Asheville!”

“Our lunch today was outstanding! Amazing flavors and three of us shared 4 items. Hunter was so accommodating and nice today, we will be back!”

“Awesome place and people! Never been to a bar with so many games and activities. Nintendo switch, Wii, pool, golf simulators, corn hole, everything! Such a cool vibe and the drinks were great, will definitely be back.”

“It was a busy place, even on a weekday. The service was good and the food was tasty. The parking was pretty tight but not bad enough to detract from the experience.”

“Food is delicious and service is great!”

“Been here 2 years and have desperately tried to find good Chinese food in the area and really haven't had much success or we find a place that isn't consistently okay until it was recommended for us to try Sunny's. You wouldn't know it by the name but they have excellent Chinese food that is actually very flavorful and nice portions. The restaurant is clean and the staff and service is excellent. We definitely recommend the General Tsos chicken, House lo Mein, Mongolia beef and veggie spring rolls so far and ooking forward to trying more items on their menu. Highly recommend this restaurant!”

“Some places serve food. Some places build community.

::: Hail Mary manages to do both :::

The food is delicious, the staff is wonderful, and there’s a flavor to this place that makes you want to linger.
I came for a meal, and left feeling like I’d found my community.

As a queer traveler visiting during Pride weekend, I felt welcomed, celebrated, and completely at ease. Places like this matter. They’re where friendships start, conversations evolve, and folx get to show up, exactly as they are…

Go eat. Grab a drink. Stay awhile.
Make a friend. And show your generosity to those hustling beauties!
Dance if there’s a DJ.
Repeat.”

“Can’t go wrong with ButterPunk. Biscuits- divine, Coffee/espresso- on point & don’t forget to check out the pastries. Decor & seating is super inviting.”

“The bartender was friendly and warm. All the mix drinks were delicious and perfectly made.”

“The BEST coffee The BEST environment The BEST employees If you have heard different, it's wrong!! 💕”

“Very cool, laid back vibe. Bartenders are very friendly and knowledgeable. Michael created a drink for us off the menu that was delicious! Highly recommend!”

“Hilltop Ice Cream in Woodfin is legit. The folks here are awesome and super friendly and always down to help you find the best flavor. Now, if you haven’t tried the goat milk cherry ice cream, you’re missing out. It’s crazy creamy, just the right amount of tart, and straight-up delicious.”
