Restaurants in Black Mountain

“Sometimes I feel bad because I think I rate businesses too harshly, like maybe I just expect too much. Then I come to places like this and I see what a 5-star rating restaurant truly looks like.Everything was amazing. Our server was on top of things, continually filling our waters and we never ran low. Our food was delivered quick and fully correct. I ordered the crispy chicken, and, while I'm not a fan of collards (my wife loved them), it was one of the best meals I've had. The presentation was incredible and truly a 5-star dining experience.They don't have a kids menu, but since we really wanted to come here, we called ahead and they graciously said they can make something work. Our girls ordered chicken tenders and fries and they said it was the best (direct quote) chicken tenders they've ever gotten! I can't give this place higher praise than that.Richard, the owner, stopped by our table at the end of our meal and we had a great conversation about their story, their travels, and what led them to open this place that used to be a run-down gas station. This place is the definition of 'excellence' that so many restaurants promise but fail to live up to. I can't wait to come here again!Kid-friendliness: No kids menu, but they can work with you to make something work”

“The Cuban cuisine was on point 150% (we resided in South Florida most of our lives). The courteous and knowledgeable staff were excellent as well. My wife and I enjoyed cortaditos (50-50 steamed milk w/Cuban espresso), pastelitos, croquettes, Cuban sandwich and roasted pork. And yes we're full, LOL. Atmosphere was great as most of the tables were full. A little slice of South Florida in Black Mountain, NC (who would have thunk that?)”

“Took my family there while visiting Black Mountain. We cant say enough on how great the experience was. Friendly staff, great food, great service, great owner. He came to talk with us for a little bit while we were waiting on the food. I wish there was one were we lived. They saw my family and I a few times while we were there.Thank you!!BlakeKid-friendliness: I have 4 kids ranging from 3 to 13 and they treated them amazingly. They even gave them pictures to color while waiting. Very friendly staff”

“Always a treat when we come to Black Mountain. Best tuna West of the coast. Friendly staff. Great atmosphere and good cold beer. A must stop if you're in Black Mountain.”

“We found Goldfinch Restaurant while wandering around the village of Black Mountain. The food, service and drinks were amazing! If you are vegan you will absolutely love this place and even if you are not vegan which we are not. There are so many delicious options to eat. I had the Lion Cakes, an alternative of crab cakes made of mushrooms. My husband had jerk chicken tacos which were out of this world! We loved it so much we came back a second night! Thanks for your hospitality and we will be back again on our next visit!”

“Great beer, great staff, excellent service. This is, by far, the best brewery in Black Mountain and a contender for best brewery in the Greater Asheville area. It’s a must visit and we will be back in Nov, if not sooner!”

“This is a cute restaurant with lots of character. My coffee mug said, "Ew...work." you order and pay at the podium and then lots of options for seating. The coffee is very flavorful without being bitter. The burrito was the best one I've ever had. My husband had the traditional and said it was really good. Service waa great. Definitely recommend for a tasty inexpensive breakfast.”

“We came here for dinner. We sat on the patio since we had our dog and they were kind to seat us, even though it was chilly and there was no one else on the patio. Service was friendly and quick. I ordered a stromboli which was fine but not cooked all the way through. They were very accommodating and fixed the issue right away. Still our favorite pizza spot in BM.”

“For many many reasons, we had not been to the Red Rocker for close to a year because it had just gone downhill. We would go there at least 2x a month, so we decided to give it a try again on Friday and we were very pleasantly surprised. The service was fine, but the food was excellent. The salmon was cooked to perfection, the mashed potatoes had a wonderful, creamy quality to them, and the seasonal vegetables were not cooked to the point where they were absolute mush. They still had a little bit of crunch to them. It was delicious.One suggestion…..the website is not accurate as far as the menu. One of our favorite desserts was always the peanut butter pie. It still shows it on the website, yet we were told they no longer have it. There are some other discrepancies as well. To prevent people from being disappointed, I think it would be helpful to have the menu updated on the website.We will go back again.”

“We just happened upon Bowl in the Wall and could not have been more fortunate. The bowls were so fresh and delicious!! An absolute hidden gem.Vegetarian options: Build your own bowl was a fabulous option for vegetarians including teriyaki tempeh that was delicious!”

“Such a great spot. We were a little nervous to enter as it's located in an industrial area and the windows are covered but once inside we felt very comfortable. Belinda was super welcoming and explained the flights and tasting options to us. The other customers were fun too, comparing our notes and just chatting in general. We thoroughly enjoyed our tasting and took a growler to go. Cider over Beer any day. Would definitely visit again if ever in the area.”

“Very cute place right outside of downtown Black mountain. Great selection of food choices, beers and wines. Inside seating looks nice, sat outside and enjoyed being able to get some fresh air and just see the sights while having a meal.”

“Excellent Thai food. My wife loves Thai food (I much prefer Sushi), but this Thai restaurant exceeds expectations. The food was delicious. The portions are more than enough for two to share and the staff was very helpful and attentive. If I can certainly see myself becoming a bigger fan of Thai food eating at this wonderful restaurant.”

“What a gem of a restaurant to have found in Black Mountain! The authentic German & Bavarian style food was EXACTLY what my wife and I were searching for on this trip. The Schnitzel, Smoked Bratwurst, Saurkraut, Fried Potatoes, German Potato Salad, and Spätzle were all to die for. This food transported us right back into our trip to Europe, eating food just like this throughout Germany & Austria. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!We took an Apple Strudel to go because the food was so filling, but their dessert options were so enticing. Please visit this cozy, tasty place during your next visit to the area.”

“Do not miss out on their house made roast beef, it is absolutely amazing. Add fresh baked rolls and local produce and you're hard pressed to find a better sub anywhere.”
