“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.”
“First visit today and it won’t be our last!! It was fantastic!!!”
“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!!!”
“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)”

“my friends and I visited Monday after the herb festival and had the best food of our whole trip at Chestnut! they had the Eggs Benedict and I chose the burger gluten free. all our meals were amazing and the care our waitress put into asking about my gluten issues was so appreciated! I do believe it was the best gluten free burger fries and cheese tots I have eaten ever! Thank you so much for taking the time and going the extra mile for those of us with Celiac. Crystal ( I hope that's right, my mind is old lol)was truly awesome and everyone needs to experience this place and her! 500 stars!!”
“If a magical surprise was a place, it would be Neng Jr.’s in Asheville! We last minute called to see if we can get a reservation and were lucky enough to get a canceled reservation spot (this place is usually all booked up for a reason)
So many fun, tasty plates to chose from, cannot wait to be back in fall to see what the season brings to the kitchen 💖”

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😋”
“Had just gotten into town yesterday to do some brewery hopping in Asheville and this was our first stop! Well, we were having so much fun, we spent the day there! As soon as we walked in, we were greeted warmly by April and she was so amazing it felt like she was part of our group all day! The beer was delicious with a variety of choices from IPA’s, to Lagers, pilsners, and cider. The decor and charm is so warm and funny. Hours had gone by and I was still seeing little things all over the place that I hadn’t seen yet. I highly recommend Dirty Jacks!!”
“Great place with a great welcoming staff.”
“This place is awesome. Services, food, and pricing for a high end restaurant were all fantastic.”
“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.”
“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.”

“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 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.”

“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.”
“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.”

“This was a cool restaurant. Awesome atmosphere. A very friendly wait staff. Food was good, not great. A little pricey for the portions and the plating. But I would come back mainly because of how nice the staff was. One word of caution, this is in the ground floor of the hotel and the hotel puts WAY too much scent in the lobby and throughout. Overpowering and caused me and my wife headaches.”
“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! 😊”
“I lived very close to this place for years but only went twice. The first experience was about a 2 star as the meat was dry and not tasty and I felt like it was overpriced (circa 2022). Then a month ago I went on a random weekday for happy hour specials and the mini nachos option and a marg redeemed this place. It was exactly what I wanted.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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. 🥰”
“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!”
“We went to Posana to celebrate our honeymoon and were thoroughly impressed by everything and everyone! The ambiance of the place is perfect for a romantic date night, and the attentive staff ensured that we were taken care of throughout our dinner. The food was absolutely delicious and offered a unique culinary experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a memorable date night or a special celebration!”
“I have been to Little D's several times since they opened, and every time they exceed the previous meal. they are creative, perfectly presented, and amazingly delicious!”

“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!!!”
“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!”
“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”

Takeout Restaurants
“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.”
“This place has a lot of different restaurants to choose from. There are a few points. You wanna know walking into this building, though.
First, the amount of people in here is heavy, so if crowds aren’t your thing come out at off time not a major breakfast lunch or dinner time.
Choose your food wisely. There’s a new place in there that makes the best biscuits in the world called “flour.” it’s probably the best biscuit sandwich that you’ll ever eat in your life, but be prepared to wait 40 minutes to get it.
I highly recommend the sushi and there’s a fried chicken sandwich place in there that doesn’t mean fried chicken sandwich.
Choose your time wisely, but be sure and stop by here for a great meal.”
“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.”
“Absolutely delicious. Got the omelet and the French toast and it was phenomenal”

“It was a great time definitely recommend if you’re on vacation or simply hanging with family/friends 10/10”
“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!”
“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!”
“🔥 Just had their food and I am blown away! I’ve been missing real Cuban food since leaving South Florida, and this spot nails it. Authentic, flavorful, and hands down the BEST Cuban food in the Carolinas (maybe ever!). This is true Cuban comfort food, and I’ll 100% be coming back again and again. 💯🙌”
“I am new to Asheville and brought my mom, two aunts and cousin to visit. We chose to eat here on a whim. It was a busy Saturday with a long wait and several things happening in the area. My aunt us genuinely severely allergic to gluten. The options for her weren't super extensive, but they offer a gluten free bun and several other options. Our server seemed new and I noticed had been double sat. She was awesome, despite both. We had lots of questions and she didn't know all the answers but she had a great attitude and was accommodating. The manager came to help her out since it was so busy. My aunt had mentioned she was allergic to gluten, chose a gluten free salad, and just asked our server to make note not to add croutons. The Manger came over and assured us he was clearing a space in rhe back to prepare her food so it would be fully uncontaminated. We didn't ask for this, but he was proactive about it. One salad came with rhe wrong protein, no biggie, we said we'd keep it. He offered to have a side of salmon made or the entire salad replaced despite us assuring him it was OK. he then comped the entire salad, not just the protein we missed. We were running out of time on our parking meter so we canceled some drinks we had ordered earlier. The bartender has already made them and the manager not only brought them to us anyway but then comped them from our bill. Literally couldn't have asked for a better experience or nicer staff.”
“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!”

“Best Crumbl in Asheville area. We live over an hour away so it’s not easy to get here often so we watch the menu weekly for our favorite cookies. This location came through for us after a not so good experience at another location. Customer service here tonight is why we will continue to buy cookies from Crumbl. Thank you!”

“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.”
“The most amazing view! We went for lunch and enjoyed a relaxing and delicious meal. We had the shrimp cocktail, French onion soup, and salads. Everything was cooked exactly as we requested and well seasoned. Our server was very friendly and gave us lots of history about the resort. We will definitely be back for dinner as I would love to be there during sunset!”
“John F has single handedly saved my first experience at the GPI. My 2 kids and I have traveled across country from Wisconsin to Chapel Hill after packing up my childhood home for a month after my parents passed away. I was exhausted after a 9 hour drive to Asheville and decided to book a room here as a special treat. When we arrived it rained and despite accepting the pouring rain we didn't get any sympathy or help except for John who listened to me rant and bought me a glass of wine. Bottom Line - Thank You John”
“I love everything about Nine Mile and I’ll die on that hill. They are amazing, professional and super kind people. The food- always amazing. The beer- so so good! The salad dressings the hot sauce! So good!”
“food truck is amazing great prices....good food .... and Doug is so outgoing and informative... makes the truck even better ...”

“Delicious veg food (including sweets), great helpful staff and cool stickers. Highly recommended!!!”
“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! 🍽️ 😋”
“I want to give a huge shout out to our server Alex H! Not only was the food and service excellent, but Alex went above and beyond when my sister had a fainting spell in the restaurant. He quickly brought her a cold rag with ice and chocolate chips to help her blood sugar. He was very understanding and caring and kept checking back to make sure she was ok. We just wanted to make sure he knows how appreciated he was today. Thank you Alex!”
“Rocky’s came Highly recommended from Emma, at the tasting room Eda Ryne. The very best food we have eaten in a LONG time!! The fried green tomatoes with pepper jelly and goat. Cheese were the Best Ever, along with the Medium fried chicken! I'll be telling everyone I know that visits the Biltmore, to stop here for lunch/ dinner!”

“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.”
“This place is a whole vibe. Beautifully decorated with amazing desserts. It's a little pricey but is well worth it in my opinion. I had the pineapple upside down cake /cheesecake with 24 karat gold...the Golden Girl”
“Never disappoints, always consistent service with amazing food. Our favorite Asheville restaurant.”
“Fish so good I returned months later and as soon as I took the first bite my senses exploded with glee…I’ll be a regular from now on! Can’t beat fresh homegrown fish”
“This is such a hidden gem and its amazing!! My wife had their Goat cheese smashburgers with pickled onions and lemon aruglua and it melts in your mouth...i had their Chicken entree which was soooooo good you cant go wrong trust me every bite so juicy good quauilty food...my mother in-law had their French dip which you can see is very good size portions. I havent even got to tell you all the Duck spring rolls🦆are a Must...by the time you all read this we already been back there ....enjoy!!!”
“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”

“First time there, sampled many items from the menu (8 to be exact) everything was fantastic! Great service and atmosphere!”
“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.🙏🍺🇺🇸”
“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.

“We stumbled upon this brewery. It isn’t right out front. It’s actually tucked away down an alley but the beer was great. They have live music at times and darts. The beer we liked was a Pilsner. I would refer anyone to check it out.”
“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.

“Highly recommend! Big fan of the outdoor seating!! Awesome vibes, the new manager Nicole is the Bees Knees”
“Not a single person disturbed me while I sobbed thinking about the demise of an Eastern Gray squirrel on Haywood. Gumbo tasted within normal limits. Wait staff all were bipedal.”
“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.”
“AMAZING!! Best steak and lobster Deviled eggs, onion soup, tartare sooo good!! Our waitress was awesome and on top of things. Will be back.”
“Our choices for Asian cuisine in WNC are very limited. Fortunately, P.F. Changs is only 25 minutes away, with an interesting menu that (tonight) was fresh and delicious. Crab Wonton is our go-to appetizer, but we also enjoyed the BBQ spare ribs. Kung Pao chicken and pepper steak were our entrees. They also had a delicious and smoky Asian Old Fashioned cocktail, which we recommend.”
“Great experience from the hostess to the server. Delicious food that is made to order. The breakfast burrito and the Beca sandwich were amazing. You can't go wrong with an order of the French toast for the table.”
“The most amazing view! We went for lunch and enjoyed a relaxing and delicious meal. We had the shrimp cocktail, French onion soup, and salads.

“I prefer this location honestly compared to downtown. It seems less crowded more easier to grab another beer with less lines. Parking is slightly easier which always nice. Nice outdoor seating and food available.”
“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”
“If you haven't been to Gauchinho Brazilian Steakhouse, you are seriously missing out. We had brunch there this afternoon, and everything was so delicious 😋. From the wide assortment of items at the hot-cold bar to all of the perfectly cooked and delicious variety of different meats (picanha, bacon wrapped filet, parmesan pork, pork ribs, bacon wrapped chicken, grilled pineapple, etc.), we thoroughly enjoyed everything and can't wait to dine there again ❤️. They also offer a wide assortment of amazing desserts. We've dined at both Brazilian steakhouses in Asheville and prefer Gauchinho's on every level (food, atmosphere, service, location). Highly, highly recommend this fine dining establishment.”
“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”
“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”
“My husband and I ate here this weekend for our first anniversary on our weekend trip to Asheville. We are both sushi lovers and have frequented many sushi spots around our home in Charlotte, my hometown in Florida, and most places we have traveled - this sushi is by far the best sushi we have every had. The sashimi and nigiri tasted like the fish had just been caught and the rolls were also incredible. We also got the bao buns and boom boom shrimp, and both were delicious. Our server was also very kind and attentive and made it a wonderful experience for us. We highly recommend!!!”

“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 hadn’t had 비빔밥 since 1985 in Korea. It was even better than I remembered. Everything was delicious and we will be back soon!”
“Wonderful atmosphere and best Asian food I've ever had! strongly recommend!”
“Excellent experience. Daniel was our server and he was amazing. Food was delish, my stomach couldn't keep up with my eyes. The only thing I would add is a little background music.”
“Our server, Cody, was great. Very welcoming and made sure our vist to the Sunset Terrace AND the Grove Park as a whole was perfect. No better views on the property.”
“Leigh our server was outstanding in delivering a memorable experience on our anniversary. She went above and beyond to ensure we had an incredible dinner. My wife's trout and my scallops were delicious. I actually hesitated on the scallops due to its side dish which was succotash. I didn't have fond memories of that dish when I was a kid... (lima beans) but Leigh reassured me that this was delicious. Could the side dish steal the show of the scallops? In this case it indeed did. I loved it so much I asked Leigh how they made. She actually gave me an email and the chef would send me the recipe! That my friends is service! In fact I regret booking the Dining Room at the Inn the next night and wished we had returned to the Bistro. Bravo Bistro!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Strada Italiano really impressed me. It has an inviting, upscale vibe that’s perfect for a night out. The vegan food was delicious—creative, flavorful, and satisfying. The ravioli especially was so good, easily one of the best dishes I’ve had in a while. Their drink menu is excellent too, with options that pair perfectly with the meal. Highly recommend for a night out with amazing food and a cozy atmosphere!”
“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”
“My husband and I both ordered the Veal Marsala and it was delicious. Christine our waitress was super friendly and very attentive.”
“Everything we got was delicious. Wings, oysters on the half shell and lobster bisque w/ mini lobster grill cheese. Cool vibe atmosphere. Great service. It’s a hidden gem.”
“Love Rabbit Rabbit! Thanks so much for bringing great live music to NC/Upstate SC!!!”
“Man, this place is awesome. The service? Top-tier—super friendly and on point. And the food? So good! I was psyched that they could make their crab cakes gluten-free, and honestly, they were insane. Crispy, flavorful, just straight-up delicious. Now, the BBQ pork flatbread? Total game changer. Smoky, a little sweet, a little tangy, with the perfect crunch. Just the kind of thing you wanna keep going back for.”
“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!”
“Great place to get lots of authentic Asian treats and ingredients 💖”
“Love dobra tea. Vibe is so nice in downtown and WAvl. I haven’t been to EAvl location. Food selection great for vegetarians. Amazing tea selection. Great place to just bring a book or some work reading and focus.”
“Really chill, fun bar. You can always meet some great people here. They also have pool tables and weekly events like Drag Kareoke. Awesome vibes and the Bartenders are top notch.”
“delicious food, beautiful atmosphere, knowledgeable and helpful staff, and the most AMAZING tequilas and mezcals I've ever seen in one place! thank you for your hospitality during the snow, we enjoyed ourselves so much!”
“We spent our 25th anniversary at The Restoration Hotel and were thrilled to find The Draftsman a short elevator ride away. A fun menu of bar basics made fresh and all the free games make this spot a great place to gather for a date or GNO/BNO. When they have live music - it’s even more fun!!”
“Steak “special“ fell short, strange cut,supposed to be a T-bone. Over cooked. Sides were good. If I’m there again I’d just have the hamburger steak. Easier to get right in the kitchen.”
“Our Server was excellent and the Duck was superior. Beautiful interesting environment in old horse stable. Busy Thanksgiving weekend but service was not at all affected. Will return.”
“Have eaten here every time we visit the Biltmore so what does that say about Cedric's! Great bartenders and on this visit we were pleasantly surprised to see that yes they had turkey for Thanksgiving. The entire meal was delicious and the trio of pies were soooo good! Great service from Stephanie made our Thanksgiving meal very enjoyable!”
“Twisted Laurel was a perfect fit for our day trip to Asheville. The food was delicious. The service is fantastic. Thanks, Josh!”

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!”
“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! 🍽️ 😋”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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)”

“Incredible food, incredible service, absolutely no notes. We made a reservation for 5 and then my brother surprised me for my engagement. The hosts and team were incredibly accommodating adding 3 people to our party in a difficult situation during their busiest time of the year. My hats off to all of them!”
“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.”
“Amazing service, incredible food (highly recommend their original fried chicken with the seasoning, collard bacon greens, and the sweet potato pancakes (holyyyyy shi that was amazing)). Go to the Hendersonville location, way less busy than downtown! Will 10000% be back”
“I want to give a huge shout out to our server Alex H! Not only was the food and service excellent, but Alex went above and beyond when my sister had a fainting spell in the restaurant. He quickly brought her a cold rag with ice and chocolate chips to help her blood sugar. He was very understanding and caring and kept checking back to make sure she was ok. We just wanted to make sure he knows how appreciated he was today. Thank you Alex!”

“Every time we’re in town this is our go to spot. Shredded selections and Brisket yum! Meats r In some sort of marinated vinegar process, don’t even use added sauces it’s perfect alone! Favorite spot to sit at is the bar area where Ian provides wonderful service! The mustard based potato salad side and hush puppies a great addition. Also don’t forget to end with the delicious homemade Banana pudding, you’re welcome! 😋 See you next season Ian!!!”
“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!”
“Me and my wife are here at cornerstone restaurant today and the food was absolutely delicious again the spaghetti and the meatballs, the Snickers cheesecake and Claire our waitress. She was a diamond for sure. Great personality. Fast response brought our food out very quickly and everything was A+plus would like to give her a big shout out. Even if the food was bad ! We would come back because of her .”

“All-around 10/10 experience! The service was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, accommodating, and kind. Our group ordered a bit of everything - apps, a mocktail, wine, tea, and dessert - and every single thing was phenomenal. The vibes were perfect, the sound immaculate, and the mid-century aesthetic spot on. Easily my new favorite spot!”
“My wife and I came here on a recent trip to Asheville off a recommendation from a friend, we were not disappointed. We ordered two different types of burgers and the sauce flight, it was all incredible. Very unique atmosphere, which to be fair is all of Asheville, but this particular spot had phenomenal food too and we would 100% come back given the chance. Very innovative and envelope pushing “bar food”, which I almost don’t even want to call it”
“Delicious high quality food presented by super owners. Everything can be made vegan. Loved it!”
“The Low Down in West Asheville is absolutely amazing! It’s tucked just off Haywood next to The Hop you have to go downstairs to get to it, and the space is gorgeous. Everything here feels thoughtfully designed, from the decor to the lighting sconces, bar, booths, and wall art it’s unlike anywhere else. I wish I had taken pictures because it’s truly stunning.
The drinks are hand-crafted and top-notch, with some ingredients made in-house. Even the glassware is beautiful. There’s a fun game I’d never seen before they called it shuffleboard but not like my great grandads shuffle board, it was unique and the people playing it had a good time, and it adds to the vibe.
I went alone and sat at the bar, and the bartender was friendly, attentive, and fun to chat with even while busy. The overall vibe is a perfect mix of a warm, welcoming neighborhood bar with a classy, art-deco, decadent feel. Prices are fair, and the attention to detail is incredible. I’ve gone back twice, and each time it’s just as cozy, sophisticated, and enjoyable. I love this place!”

“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.”
“As someone who works here daily, I can attest that our company consistently shows its commitment to the community. Whenever a local or an organization has reached out for support, our upper management and owners are always willing to lend a hand. I'm grateful to be part of a team that prioritizes giving back, and as an employee, I feel fortunate to have opportunities to make a positive impact in my community.”
“Absolutely love this food truck! The food is off the charts and the friendly faces at the window are always smiling and you just know that your food is gonna be made with love. My favorite part is they always add some grilled onions on the side and a little vegetable salad of cucumbers and radish. My husband and I eat there at least once a week. We have tried numerous things on the menu and it never disappoints. I would highly recommend their torta!!”
“This might be one of the best Chick-fil-A restaurants I've visited. The service as great, and despite stopping in at a busy time, the food came out in great timing and was delicious. For anyone who's visiting Asheville like I was or lives there and needs a good place to eat and relax, I highly recommend this location!”
