“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.“

“Amazing place❤️ smells like use to be cafes in Poland. Tried Eclair very good and macarons with cappucino melting in mouth. Yumm yumm yumm...❤️❤️“

“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.“

“Amazing bread. Yummy treats and delicious cake. If you haven't had the seasonal pumpkin rolls you're not living. Meg also uses other seasonal products - don't miss her ramp scones in the Spring. Love this little slice of heaven.“

“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“

I tried Rockys hot and was warned about it before hand. it was hot but just right for me. it is a party in your mouth. so much flavor. just delicious. service was friendly,fast and amazing..top notch and now I'm sad I can't get it in Indiana where I live..“

“Love Cantina. Thought it had reopened since the website gave hours. Sorry to arrive and see no trespassing on the building other open businesses say Cantina not reopening. So sorry to hear that. Always enjoyed their great food when passing through the area.“

“Amazing food! Good folks too, the heart of Asheville.“

“Super yummy place and super cute environment.“

“Got her Tres Leches today. It's one of a kind. Have been to her shop daily lately and I don't think you can find any better. This lady is a hard worker and I think everyone should give this lady your pastries and dessert business because you're getting one of a kind 😇“

“Love everything about Penny Cup. Coffee is amazing and Kora loves the Pup Cups ☕️“

“Recently went to Asheville for a long weekend vacation. We had our breakfast at Owl every single morning! All of the baked goods, sweet and savory, rival anything found anywhere. Delicious lattes are served by the most charming staff! I would drive back to Asheville just to visit this beautiful bakery.“

“Fantastic breakfast sandwiches. Love this spot!“

“We were visiting from out of town recently and on our last full day of vacay we drove to Fletcher Village Bakery and Cafe for coffee and bkfst. The food, service, and friendliness and professionalism of the staff were beyond compare. It was the BEST egg sandwich I have ever eaten in my life. Come on, you say. It's just an egg sandwich! What's the big deal?!? But I can tell you it was hands down the best ever. Fresh, hot and delicious. The gods live in the details, and this place has nailed it.“

“Burgers are delicious and fries are amazing. Can't wait to try some other items on the menu. Nice atmosphere great service.“

“I hadn’t had 비빔밥 since 1985 in Korea. It was even better than I remembered. Everything was delicious and we will be back soon!“

“There was a wonderful variety of items to choose from, it was difficult to decide. We would have gotten the jalapeño fries and cauliflower tacos but their main frier wasn’t working so we got the chorizo tacos, coconut curry and sweet potato Ruben which came with crispy homemade fries (they have a small frier that was working). We don’t enjoy vegan cheese that is made using Science so we opted for the cashew queso which was absolutely delicious. The tacos were our favorite item. The texture and taste were a solid 10 out of ten. Which made me miss trying the cauliflower tacos even more. The Ruben was our 2nd favorite. I usually have tempeh meat on a Ruben so I couldn’t imagine how they could make sweet potato taste “meaty” but they did. It was so delicious, I will be looking up how to make that “sweet potato meat” at home. The Thai Panang Curry was the only disappointment. It was fresh tasting and the tofu was fried to crispy perfection. It just needed more sauce. I got the Blackberry Ginger Mint mocktail. It was just the right amount of sour and was a beautiful presentation. Our only regret was not leaving room for dessert. If we lived in Asheville we would be regulars at this establishment. Our server was also Excellent! She was attentive without being intrusive. She pre-bussed the table and refilled our water glasses and asked if we needed another round and brought us our food perfectly timed! We went back the next day and had the Tostada Enchilada salad (it’s the choriso taco grown up), the Supreme pizza with no cheese (nice crispy crust and a good amount of sauce), the Amaretto Cherry Cheesecake (absolutely worth going back just for that!) the peanut butter cookie (the only disappointment) and the Lime Aid (perfecly balanced and not too sweet). But I preferred the one yesterday. Another wonderful server. Love this place! Updated from previous review on 2025-03-02“

“Would give 1,000 stars if I could. My wife and I both agreed this was the best burger, fries, and onion rings we’ve ever had. Highly recommend!“

“The food was wonderful. I would certainly eat there again when in Asheville.“

“They had a very large selection of ice cream and other dessert items. I chose a brownie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The vanilla ice cream was amazing! The brownie was insanely rich, so you definitely need the scoop of ice cream to balance it. The brownie was a bit hard. I believe it would have been better and softer if they would have heated it before serving.“

“We had the California Club and the Italian hoagies. They were absolutely amazing. I highly advise them both and leave everything on it. I usually change things or leave off some but I didn’t and I loved ot as my wife did too.“

“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“

“Great food, great atmosphere, friendly staff. If you dont like spice in your gravy, go with the "house gravy" The biscuits are INCREDIBLE and I love the pics of the kitties on the table numbers!! Glad we came here!!“

“We come all the time because we always get the BEST service. It's always a wonderful experience. The staff is ALWAYS so friendly, inviting and informative. We recently had Holly and Tina as our servers and they were absolutely fantastic! Would recommend!“

“Last years birthday cake for my wife was my first purchase They have the Vegan cakes. I am on my way to pick up this years cake and it has become a yearly ritual now. Lemon blueberry cream with fruit topping. 🤤 😋“

“My go-to pizza place. Huge slices and good prices. I'm a bit of a pizza snob from the northeast, and their pizza is pretty good. I've had other pizza in town that isn't as good while being over priced. When trying pizza somewhere else, I catch myself telling friends, "Standard Pizza is better"“
