“Excellent!! We had a party of 4 and tried 6 different “small plates” and shared. They were ALL delicious!! The service was excellent and everyone so friendly and helpful!!”

“I've only ever had amazing experiences here! The customer service is truly top-notch, the food is so good it's easy to clean your plate, and the coffee will keep you up for DAYS! Absolutely love this restaurant and all they have done for the community speaks volume of their character. Get yourself a Havana wrap or a traditional Cuban sandwich, you wont be disappointed!”

“Employees are friendly and cheerful. Chef accommodates special requests. We had salmon cakes, hamburgers, Curry bowl, wings, and fresh fish of the day... all well prepared and delicious. The live farm animals are precious..will be back..thanks Mark and Kim!”

“Great little place with a better than average selection of beer and wine and a great food truck. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable”

“So delicious my husband I stopped by on our way from Asheville and we will definitely go back! Out of this world short ribs and grits and the Beradu breakfast patter was delicious!”

“Amazing breakfast one of the best I've ever had🙌🙌 Will be back when traveling to or through Asheville area. Great food and great service and dog friendly on the porch which was great. Everyone in our party was equally impressed and enjoyed😋”

“The best tacos in the world!!!”

“Awesome selection of ciders and meads! Have been to numerous cideries but Black Mountain is by far the best for quality and selection. Great hosts!!!”

“We came in from out of town to relax and have a drink. I ordered coffee and my wife ordered a martini. We didn’t know that you weren’t able to have alcohol outside (although someone at another table had a martini as well). We had our dogs with us and we apologized profusely when the bar manager Victoria came outside and mentioned it. As we were gathering our things, we could hear her inside talking about how she’s tired of this “sh*t” , telling patrons at the bar. Initially we ignored it since we were trying to have a relaxing time in a new town. She kept on so I went in and asked if she was talking about us loud enough to where we can hear her outside! She apologized and said there are signs on the tables. First of all, there was one sign on a table that was written on what looked like a piece of paper and you could barely read the words. There was NO sign on our table and she said people take them off. I don’t like people insinuating that I’m doing something I didn’t do. We paid a 30 percent gratuity for the service we received and this is the treatment your customers receive?! Unbelievable! I told her it’s probably not in her best interest to insult and berate customers that are spending their hard earned money in your town.”

“Has been awhile since I've been there. My cousin was thinking of going while down there. I told him a must stop definitely if near by. It was a great time when I stayed nearby. Excellent brews, staff, whole 9 yards.
From the Pocono region. But if I'm even just a short drive out of the way, I'll be stopping. You won't be disappointed!”

“Cozy dining room, delicious food, and attentive service. Great wine selection—we loved our meal and can’t wait to come back!”

“Definitely make Black Mountain Bistro your next lunch/dinner spot. We ate 2 meals there in one day because it was so good. Fried pickles, pretzel bites, chicken tenders, ribeye steak and crab cakes we all so good! Ask for Sarah to be your server. The sweetest person!”

“First visit tonight. Sat upstairs outside. Incredible attentive service from everyone we talked to. The food was delicious and described perfectly. Can’t wait to return and try some other dishes.”

“The best pizza and cheesy garlic bread. Even worth a 2.5 hour drive. Elizabeth was phenomenal!!! Can’t wait to come back!”

“I've been visiting the Red Rocker Inn for years now. I've seen the changes it's gone through and I can honestly say, it just keeps getting better & better!😍”

“Yall. Simply the best pastries and coffee I’ve had in quite some time! Went to Black Mountain to celebrate my birthday with my daughter & sister. We ordered one of every pastry and had a taste test of 3 items and took home the rest. THEY WERE AMAZING!! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, the staff friendly and attentive, and the pastries tasted like they came from a French pastry shop. Will definitely be back soon!”

“You guys are awesome and we love the space!”

“I wanted to give a huge shout-out to the team at the Dripolator on Tunnel Road for being such incredible community partners. We recently collaborated with them for our Golden Egg Hunt, and they went above and beyond to help make it a success! They were egg-perts at hiding one of our prize eggs. It’s rare to find a local spot that is as dedicated to community engagement as it is to brewing a perfect cup of coffee. Speaking of which—if you haven't tried their seasonal lattes or fresh baked goods, you are seriously missing out. 🥐”

“As always fresh delicious and served perfectly. Thanks for a great breakfast !!”

“I was cruising through the local ingles drifting my buggy a little bit though the turns here in Hendersonville. The plan was to just grab a few things for work and some coffee. I will be honest and admit I am usually a Folgers kind of guy. I mean they say it is the best part of waking up, and who am I to argue. I decided to try something new, that’s when I noticed some bags sitting on a shelf towards the front of the store. Dynamite Coffee! I gave it a quick google and it turns out it is made local. I noticed one of the bags had a cannon on it. I thought it looked pretty cool, which all the bags had good looking designs. “Dynamite Expresso” was the name. I said, I am sure that it has plenty of caffeine. I poured it in the coffee maker, and when I say it smelled like heaven, I mean it. Finally, after much anticipation it finished brewing, the room was filled with the smell of happiness. As I poured it into my cup, my mouth was watering like Niagara Falls. Then, I took a sip. I would compare the taste to warm sunshine on a cold snowy day or putting on a jacket you haven’t worn in a while, and you find a $20 dollar bill in one of the pockets. It was truly amazing. Then the caffeine started to do its job. Not jittery, just a smooth ramp up of motivation and alertness. Like a plane taking off. I want to say thank you! I am sure my job would thank you too.”

“Fantastic brewery with great beer, a welcoming atmosphere, and a strong commitment to supporting the local community. It's an easy place to recommend. Looking forward to visiting again!”

“This was my first time eating here. I am from out of town and here on a business trip. That was hands down the best sub I have ever had. From the bread to the ingredients, everything was fresh. I had been wanting an amazing sandwich and it was like she read my mind. The only downside is I don’t have one of these where I live and I only come to black mountain 4 times a year. I will be getting a sub for the trip home for sure!!! Oh and one more thing. That was the best customer service I have received in a long time. So nice and friendly.”

“the service is amazing, the staff are amazing especially bartender Allison, the food is great and the drinks are spot on. the atmosphere is fun and friendly. 5 stars all around. we go there almost weekly. must get the mussels and the fries are to die for....”

“great onion rings and the burgers were juicy and big 🙌🏼🤤”

“Best ice cream ever!! Their vegan pea-based ice creams are out of this world and with such unique and delicious flavors! I appreciate that The Hop gives so much back to our community as well. ❤️”

“I went in for the raw oysters and they were great! Then I tried a meal and it was pretty good. The service was a little hard to get somebody to attend to me. But I think it was because it was right at closing time and even after hours when I got done eating. But they were very nice and did not run me off and I will go back again!”

“great onion rings and the burgers were juicy and big 🙌🏼🤤”

“We had such a nice dinner on the outdoor patio with a beautiful view of the mountains. Loved the ratatouille crepes! Dog, friendly. Lovely wine list. Highly recommend!”

“A big thank you to Kilwins Black Mountain for supporting our Live Piano Bingo series! Your sweet generosity makes our events even more special. We appreciate you!”

“I've had Thai Beef Salad hundreds of times in my life. Never before today have I had such a delicious salad with such wonderfully fresh and flavorful ingredients. Thanks so much! ❤️”

“Great vibes in this bar, Kendra (is that how you spell it?) is awesome. The live music is nice and just fills the place with love. It's the best bar I've been to in NC.”

“This is not just a great pizza and I pasta place... Had a special last night; crusted fresh trout with charred brussel sprouts and beet quinoa...DELISH!! Their clams in butter wine sauce is great! Feeds 2 or enough for leftovers...same for their baked pasta. SO good! never had anything I didn't love! GO! ❤️”

“Food was okay, desert was horrible! We saw someone get the apple strudel, it came with powdered sugar and whipped cream. So we each ordered one to go. There was no powdered sugar or whipped cream, the strudel was under cooked, tasteless and tasted like it just came out of the freezer!”

“Passing through picturesque Black Mountain to have lunch, my husband and I stopped for a cookie in a local craft store. The ginger molasses cookies we bought were perfect in every way and exactly what we were craving! As we got back on the highway, my husband said that the cookies made the whole stop worth it! Thank you Four Sisters!”

“Delicious food , great staff and nice family atmosphere !”

“Absolutely delicious pizza!!! The Detroit style was amazing… can’t wait to go back”

“Amazing new owners! Excellent Boston crème pie cupcake and the cranberry orange sourdough is exceptional! Great customer service!”

“This Starbucks has the friendliest employees I’ve ever encountered….which, to be fair, is a low bar for me living in Atlanta, where the traffic is so bad it has genuinely broken people as human beings.

I didn’t feel like I was burdening anyone by placing an order here… quite the opposite. I might invite them all to my wedding.”

“I am thicker than a bowl of oatmeal, and these seats accommodate my booty, so I approve. 5 outta 5. Food is also tremendous.”

“A great coffee shop located inside Ridgecrest Conference Center in Black Mountain. You do have to be attending an event or staying on campus to enjoy the coffee shop. They have an excellent selection of drinks and snacks too.”

“Excellent meal and the service was great too! We will definitely be back soon!”

“always very kind and great food.”

“BBQ sandwich and M&C . Great. ! Thanks for the quick service.”

“The quality of the cuisine is generally satisfactory. The staff demonstrates a high level of affability and the service is expeditious. Typically, food preparation time does not exceed fifteen minutes.”

“Great smashburgers, and the best fries I've had in a while. Friendly staff, fast service. Lots of shaded outdoor seating. It was a welcome break from exploring all the downtown shops.”
