Soul Food Restaurants near Arden, NC

“Fun place good food, good sides, friendly staff. Would be five stars, but it is a tad pricey. On the other hand cut em some slack, considering the current economy, the prices are not over the top, they do need to post a profit to stay open.“

“The pulled pork combo is pretty good. Glad the pulled pork isn't chopped up like every other place seems to do for some reason. The mac & cheese was on the greasy tasteless side. Potato salad was on the overcooked side bordering on the mashed potato side. The cornbread was the best part of the meal and I normally don't like cornbread. It was moist, hot, and flavorful. It's odd how more and more places are adopting what is called a "combo," but the drink always seems to not be part of the "combo." The meal was filling, but the price was a little on the high side ($13.50 + drink cost, tax, and tip) considering the amount of pulled pork. Fix the massive hole in the parking lot!“

“After following them for years, I finally got to try out their food on Sunday at New Belgium in Asheville. I had the fried oyster sandwich. Probably the BEST fried oysters I've every had... tender, crispy and perfect. Unfortunately I couldn't have the sauce that they put with it because it contains milk, and they didn't offer me an alternative. So I just put some crystal hot sauce on it. My husband had the Seintan sandwich (vegan) that was spiced to taste like Italian sausage. He said it was quite good, and would order again.“

“Stumbled upon this place while hosting an out of town friend. We were welcomed as soon as we walked in. Very laid back, nice atmosphere. We opted to sit at the bar for drinks & dinner. Tim was very friendly and answered a few questions we had about the menu. I had the Paloma and my friend had the Tequila old fashioned. Probably the best Paloma I've ever had. I tasted the old fashioned too, & it was amazing! Chips & salsa was really good- fresh, thick chips and a nice variety of salsas. Then.. the meals! Flavor, texture, presentation.. it was all amazing and fresh, high quality ingredients. I will spread the word about this place because it's really the best Mexican restaurant we've been to in Asheville.“

“It was a really nice and chill place. We had a great brunch. They handled our group of 11 with ease. If in the area, I’d go back.Kid-friendliness: Our kids were very comfortable and they made concessions with the menu items to accommodate the kids. They pretty much told us tell us how you want it and we can make it.“

“This is the first time I ate here with my boyfriend and my best friend food was great very clean which was very very nice they weren't busy at the time we went earlier today and it was one waitress and I believe one cook but the waitress was very very respectful very sweet and came to the table to check on us multiple times.“
