Limones Restaurant 15 Eagle St, Asheville Mexican • $$$

“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.”

Dirty Jack’s 23 Buxton Ave, Asheville Brewery
Recommended

“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!”

“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.”

Little Chango 134 Coxe Ave, Asheville Spanish • $

“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.”

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.

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.”

Good Hot Fish 10 Buxton Ave, Asheville Fish & Chips • $$

“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.”

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.”

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.”

“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 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.”

“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”

While you are there, learn about once in a lifetime travel opportunities; the stuff dreams are made of!”

Rendezvous 184 New Haw Creek Rd, Asheville Restaurant • $$

“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.”

Gemelli 70 Westgate Pkwy, Asheville Restaurant • $$

“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.”

VOWL 61 1/2 N Lexington Ave, Asheville Bar • $

“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)”
