“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!“

“Twisted Laurel was a perfect fit for our day trip to Asheville. The food was delicious. The service is fantastic. Thanks, Josh!“

“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 breakfast place to happen upon on an early morning walk . Staff very nice. Food delivered to table hot fresh and very good. Highly recommend“

“Apollo Flame Bistro is by far the best Greek restaurant around. The food is great and the staff is very professional. My favorites are lamb gyro and the meat ravioli.“

“super fast. delicious, and probably the best tazizki sauce I've found in NC. Definitely will be back!“

“Great food, service, & beer selection! The fried pepperoni & cheese curds were delicious. My wife liked the firecracker shrimp Alfredo, but said it had some spice. The Greek platter was amazing as well. I got the combination to try both the lamb & chicken. The chicken tasted like souvlaki & was good, but I favored the lamb. I typically would order an old fashioned, but they did not have large blocks of ice. Given what Helene’s impact on western NC, I was happy to see this restaurant thriving & folks in good spirit. This place is a gem for the community, and I highly recommend.“
