New American Restaurants in Asheville, NC

“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 were on our way through Asheville and found this little gem after our first choice was closed. Do glad we did. \n\nThey were quite full/busy but they fit us in and were very kind and gracious about it. \n\nThe entire experience was special. About four different staff members checked on us throughout our evening. \n\nTheir knowledge of the menu was incredible, and especially their very extensive wine list. \n\nWe started with their “Darling” bread and butter. Absolutely amazing. I would have been happy with just that. \n\nTheir offerings of different locally grown greens was amazing. \n\nWe had the lamb kebabs and rabbit pasta for our main. Our outstanding sever recommended two incredible wines to pair. \n\nAn incredible experience from start to finish.“

“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“

“Never disappoints, always consistent service with amazing food. Our favorite Asheville restaurant.“

“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.“

“What a great place to celebrate our birthdays. Two from KY and two from Augusta GA to enjoy celebrating all four of us having birthdays. Stuart who waited on us was EXCELLENT. We asked him about the damage to Asheville and we could hear it in his voice how hurt he was because others suffered so much. He was very gracious that we chose Asheville to celebrate our birthdays. I had the best shrimp and grits ever and I'm 73. Every meal the fried oysters, salads, Reuben Sandwich there is no negative experience. I hesitated to order the banana pudding but was intrigued by the description. So glad I did, it was so different than what I've ever had but the BEST I've ever had. Thank you to everyone working that day on 1/22 that wished us Happy Birthdays and made this such a wonderful memory for all 4 of us. Very welcoming, great personalities but above all GREAT FOOD.“

“Incredible food, drinks, and views! Definitely make a reservation and catch the sunset. 10/10 experience.“

“My friend and I decide to go to Little D's due to an extremely long wait at another establishment. I'm so glad this is where we ended up! EVERYTHING is top notch- decor, service, cocktails & food! We sat at the bar for immediate seating. There is not one dish we tried that needed anything! Perfectly seasoned and plated with innovative flavors, textures & artistry. Thank you for the amazing experience.“

“Fantastic food. Fantastic service. Lovely ambience in the space. It feels like the kitchen really cares about the food it brings out. One thing I particularly liked was how well all the dishes were seasoned. A bit of heat here, a bit of spice there, and a dash of sweet when needed. And speaking of sweet, the lemon curd cheesecake is a wonder. I love it when the cheesecake part of the cheesecake isn't oversweet. The lemon curd gives a sweet and tart compliment to the creaminess of the dairy in the dish. It's dangerous, I tell you! We'll be back for more.“

“Absolutely fantastic experience!! From the greeting when we walked in - to the bar .. we were so blown away by the service! I got a hazy IPA that came out more hazy than usual. The bartender gave me a different IPA but someone in charge of brewing also saw our interaction, fixed the keg and brought me a new beer!! Such a great team!!

The restaurant was super clean & inviting. We will be back!!“

“We highly recommend Posana for celebrating special occasions. We were there for our 27th wedding anniversary and they gave us many nice touches -- glasses of champagne, a signed card from the staff, a small starter and small dessert -- that made the dining feel even more special. Our server was wonderful and all the staff were kind and attentive. Scrumptious food and gorgeous presentation.“

“The dining room has delicious creative food for the sophisticated palate. The entree selection is a bit smaller than many places but each one is very unique. Our party of four each raved about their meal. Would not recommend for children younger than teens.“

“We are from out of town and love to try the local favorites. The food was fresh and delicious. The restaurant was unique and the service was friendly.“

“Go see Dave if you want an incredible meal and experience! We had the best dinner here and I couldn’t be more impressed.“

“We dined at Zambra for a birthday celebration while visiting Asheville and were blown away by the fantastic flavor combinations, creative menu and the vibe of the restaurant. The service was amazing as well, so that always brings a great meal together. I’d highly recommend Zambra and will dine there again next time I’m in town“

“The food was spot on, and the service was excellent. The interior has a really cool atmosphere. One thing to note is that the photos make the restaurant look much larger than it actually is—it's a small, intimate space with vaulted ceilings, which I personally enjoyed. The menu is also intentionally small, allowing them to focus on quality, and it appears they rotate the offerings regularly.“

“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 !“

“Great dog friendly restaurant with a covered patio. They provide a water bowl. Staff is friendly. Food and drinks were excellent!“

“Great breakfast, friendly staff and fun atmosphere! Biscuits were amazing and the sausage gravy to die for!“

“great Krewe, touchtunes, good times, beware of the pool sharks, East Asheville's best meeting grounds“

“The WALK has always been one of my favorite West Asheville hangouts because their tacos are to die for! My most recent lunch there I had the best service thanks to Emma. I appreciate that the WALK not only has good food but they have good people that provide great service!!!“

“We are from out of town and love to try the local favorites. The food was fresh and delicious. The restaurant was unique and the service was friendly.“

“This local group of restaurants has been serving really good food with great service and a comfortable atmosphere since 2001. Chicken and waffles are there, of course, but loads of other stuff, including spinach/potato cakes with tomato gravy, one of my favorites. Highly recommended.“

“Went in with high expectations - my pancakes were not warm and a bit too sweet Coffee was ok - egg meal was large and my kids liked it I thought it was pricey compared to other meals I had in Asheville“

“I honestly couldn't have had a better lunch while touring Biltmore than at the Inn lounge. My best friend and I are visiting Biltmore for a few days as it's his first time and I looked online and saw this restaurant had the same prices as the ones down at Antler Hill so I figured I rather have a great view and better ambiance . The burger was phenomenal and sauce was an absolute genius masterpiece. But honestly what made our experience an once in a lifetime was our sever Gregory. Not only did he give us the hospitality you expect from this quality of an hotel but he was down to earth and really made us feel welcome to the Biltmore Estate despite not being guests of the Inn. He had the most amazing stories of his experiences of meeting celebrities (like the avengers in one night ask him about it), which is something everyone wishes they had a friend like that. All through out the house tour everyone learns how great lengths George Vanderbilt went through to make his guests experience one to remember , Gregory gave us the Vanderbilt experience today and we will never forget it. In fact, we are considering coming for breakfast tomorrow after our Falconery and even maybe stay at the Inn if people like Gregory are on staff just like George would have for his guests. George would be proud of Gregory for continuing to give his hospitality to this day. Thank you for a wonderful experience, and we hope to see you again soon.“
