50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Biltmore Forest

“I was very surprised with this place... The food was freshly prepared and served with a large portion... They do not have table service.. You order and pay at the counter.. Food items were moderately priced and service was fairly fast... We had thunder storms the day we visited and had to eat inside..but they have great outdoor seating with nice views of the gardens.“

“We absolutely love this place. We always visit them whenever we are in Asheville. We recommend sitting at the counter. The counter will allow you to be entertained by the staff. We hung out with Derek this time. He is an amazing chef. There's nothing like watching an artist at work.“

“Just amazing. Wow! Very impressed with the food; the service; and the specialty drinks.“

“Great offerings for lovers of all types of beers. Great atmosphere with indoor and outdoor areas including the Meadows section and frisbee golf course. Very unique setting and very friendly and knowledgeable servers. Relaxing spot and one of the top breweries in NC.“

“The nickname "Malt Disney World" truly fits. This place is amazing. I took the brewery tour and was extremely impressed with how knowledgeable and friendly Madison was. Afterwards, I had a few beers in the taproom, and honestly I didn't want to leave! Amazing experience from beginning to end, and I can't wait to come back!“

“Usually not big on beer but I had a great stout here. Dog friendly!!! Very nice staff“

“This is my favorite coffee shop in Asheville! I usually get a cappuccino, drip coffee, and one of the pastries and they are all fantastic. Ash always makes a perfect cappuccino with properly steamed milk.I’ll often hang out for an hour or two to work in the cozy cafe. I’ve also brought my three year old to the cafe and she thoroughly enjoyed her experience!“

“Simply the best doughnut and service I’ve ever had. I drive a couple hours just for these doughnuts!“

“Limited menu but food was amazing! Had the ropa vieja on a arepa con queso and yuca fries. All fresh and again delicious. Mostly outdoor with a few indoor counter top seats which made it more personal with owner who was eager to please. Highly recommend.“

“We were recommended to eat here by a friend and we absolutely loved it. We had our 11 month old son with us and they accommodated us by all means. We will definitely be back next time we’re in town. The brisket Mac & cheese was delicious!“

“Excellent service and delicious food.“

“i really enjoyed this! i was hungry after a long hike and i’d read good reviews about this place. I ordered el cubano sandwich and a water. the sandwich was great, toasted well with good ingredients, and it came with potato chips that i enjoyed putting in the sandwich. The water was nice and cold too. Only suggestion is asking for extra pickles in the sandwich, they need a little more in the ratio. Very pleased! would take anyone here!“

“Great atmosphere, great beer and great food!“

“Every morning I'm in a coffee shop, working remote, both at home and during my frequent traves. this place is fantastic! weird parking and tiny space threw me off at first. but immediately the vibe, employee kindness, and amazing vegan (and I am not vegan) food made me quickly forget about the parking and limited small space. love it! Highly recommend!“

“Excellent experience. Delicious food. Ambience was excellent!“

“Stopped here on a road trip and didn’t want to leave. Chuck, the owner, is a delight and an insanely talented artist. We had a nice chat while he prepared our lattes (which were some of the best we’d ever had), and what a delight! I’d be a regular if I didn’t live on the wrong coast.“

“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!“

“The food was perfect. We had a salad, the croquettes, and the shrimp cocktail. The drinks were crisp and balanced. We loved it and we will be back.“

“Another outstanding culinary experience! Thank you for fitting us in yesterday on our way home from SAFF (Southeastern Animal Fiber Fair) we brought our dear friends who were celebrating their anniversary. We had some small plates then scallops, burgers, and schnitzel. Just fabulous. Thank you for a perfect end to a wonderful day spent with great friends. Happy to share such a dining gem.“

“It's tough to find a good brew when you have a gluten allergy. Stumbled upon this in Lowes one day and figured I would give it a shot and was not disappointed. Had to take the cruise up there to try everything they had for speciality brews.“

“Chaunie’s is absolutely the best place to go for coffee! I’m a daily regular that can’t get enough of the coffees and tacos. My personal favorites are the cold brew with salted caramel and house made oat milk, hot mocha, caramel lattes, and tacos. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We had a wonderful experience at Fahrenheit Pizza. We brought some family with us from out of town. We had pizza, garlic knots and even tried their cannolis! The food was all very delicious, especially the pizza. And the staff were all very kind and inviting, especially Conrad. (He was the one that sold us on the cannolis) As a pizza snob, this place has inched its way into my top 3 pizza places in Asheville. Cheers!“

“Always delicious food, even if a little expensive. You know they're quality when the wait is out the door. You will have to grab your own drinks and condiments. You will also want to come back over and over again.Parking: During peak hours, the lot we'll be full“

“My home away from home. Always welcomed by the coolest people, the dopest staff, and the environment is just the best!“

“I had really high expectations for this brewery after doing an enormous amount of research. The space itself was neat and being downtown was cool. I liked that they had pinball too. But the beers I was expecting elite and I just didn’t feel that way. We tried 7 beers between two of us and the only one I thought was outstanding was one of the Hazys. I will try again next time I’m in town but I won’t prioritize it like I did this time“

“I got my wedding bouquet and boutonnières from Pollen and they were gorgeous! The staff were so great at communicating and making the bouquet exactly what I wanted!“

“Probably the best brewery experience I've had in 20 years of craft beer tourism. They make great beers and they treat you right, because the people who run it are treated right. This is a great space to relax and talk with friends or make more. Food trucks, indoor and outdoor seating with fire pits, wine and non-alcoholic options, and super friendly service in a beautiful setting. If you don't visit here when in the area, you don't like beer.“

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

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

“This place is awesome! Did the guided tour and was mesmerized. Shared some appetizers for lunch (wings were the best I’ve had anywhere), had a few beers and hung out at the fire pit a while afterwards. Really cool experience! Planning to go back many times.“

“Very relaxing- great company and a pleasure to meet Lem. Come by and get some great beer“

“Fun place good food, good sides, friendly staff. Would be five stars, but it is a tad pricey. On the other hand cut em some slack, considering the current economy, the prices are not over the top, they do need to post a profit to stay open.“

“I recently tried Taco Temple and overall, it was a decent experience. We started with chips and guacamole, which was fresh and plentiful, with large chunks of avocado. For our main course, we ordered the barbacoa and mahi tacos. The barbacoa had a delicious stew-like flavor, but the mahi tacos were a bit dry. I also ordered the avocado torta, it was quite good!The meal was good but not outstanding. The prices were average for the market, making it a reasonable choice. However, parking can be challenging, especially when it's busy. I believe there's also a drive-through option, which might be more convenient for some.“

“Dang so good! I drop into this spot every time I'm in Asheville. It's a must go to if you want the best Cortado in town. It's right on the river so it has a beautiful setting. The baristas really know what they're doing on a pro level.“

“A few of us were in town for business and we stopped in prior to dinner for wine and beer… They have a very nice venue here, great décor and decent list of wines and beer. Service was really friendly and prices are decent.We enjoyed a few items and then moved on, but we enjoyed the stay while we sat & sipped! They also offer small bites here. Would stop in when in the area!“

“What a great dinner spot! Porter was fabulous but dinner was over the top! Yum“

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

“expertly crafted cocktails, great service“

“This place was cool for everyone. Lots of activities for the whole family. They operate out of an old train car. All the details of this place were well done. I like the ode to a little disc golf. I am only giving four stars because the one beer I had time for I didn’t really like. Could be my fault but that was the only sample I had.“

“Barn Door is fantastic! We were warmly greeted by the owners and then they explained their ciders and menu. We got a cider flight and a cheese board. It was delightful, delicious, and everything was excellent. The ciders were interesting, flavorful, and paired well with the cheese board. The atmosphere is very peaceful and a nice retreat away from the touristy, crowded mess of downtown Asheville. Barn Door Ciderworks is Asheville's best kept secret but it should be a secret no more!“

“Fun ice cream shop, we came twice on our week-long trip to the area. Some hit or miss flavors - not sure if it was just a bad scoop but we had some with mix-ins that ended up just tasting like vanilla. The lavender and lemon blueberry flavors were our favorite. We loved the fun color changing spoons (this was possibly a major factor in the trip back, my husband and I are pretty easily entertained). Service was great and friendly even though we got there late.“

“Hands down. Best coffee in Asheville!“

“Parking: During certain times of the day it's hard to find parking due to most residents parking near the restaurant, there is parking across the street at the school but I wouldn't recommend parking there especially as school dismisses because you will be stuck there.Kid-friendliness: I saw school aged children and toddlers as well. Plenty of outdoor seating, I also saw a few doggos sitting outside with their humans.“

“They have great friendly staff, they go above and beyond to make sure you are satisfied. There Pizza is second to none, Tyler and the rest of the crew do a great job!“

“The execution of each beer was really good, and if I was just rating on their ability to craft an excellent beer I would give a 5. The brewery itself is nice and clean but not special. There are t much offerings from a food standpoint, and the menus itself isn’t huge. I enjoyed every beer I had, but not enough to rate this similarly to other places in the area with similar quality beers but more interesting surroundings“

“My wife and I met here for a going away party for a friend. The place is large with indoor and outdoor seating with a mini-golf course behind it. Good variety of selection on beer types and about 12-15 of them.The breakfast sandwich was a home run... like completely surprised us both for a brewpub... we were there during brunch, so she was able to get brunch and me lunch (think brunch ends at 3:30 Saturdays/Sundays). She had the breakfast sandwich, which was a monster and was a very good value. The sandwich was satisfying and so flavorful, especially with whatever sauce that was. The home fries were ordered extra crispy, and they came out perfectly crispy and not burnt or greasey.I am a sucker for shrimp and grits, so I usually get it if I see it on a menu. The shrimp were cleaned first off so they did that right and the shrimp were perfectly cooked. The sausage was still juicy and flavorful. The grits were cooked well but honestly, it didn't taste much of cheddar and noticed barely any jalapeno. The sauce was supposed to be garlicky cajun cream sauce. I got the garlic and cream but no cajun spice, and overall it needed some salt and pepper because of that lack of heat.Overall it was a great brunch spot with a tasty large breakfast sandwich and crispy home fries; but mediocre shrimp and grits. Beer selection is good.8.5/10“

“Awesome food and wonderful staff. Locally owned“

“A really beautiful brewery taproom. So many plants give it a very peaceful feeling. The tables are gorgeous too. I talked to Jeff, who maybe was also a brewer? He was very knowledgeable and very fun to chat with. It was probably our most “personal” convo I had at the 15+ breweries in this trip.The beers were good too. Some really interesting things with Nitro. I highly recommend going by and keeping an open mind“

“Grassroots business savvy meets great taste and quality!“

“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.“
