Laila Asheville 77 Biltmore Ave, Asheville Seafood • $$

“We had to make a mad dash into the restaurant - got caught in a huge downpour. We were soaked & asked for a couple of napkins to dry off. There were cloth napkins on the empty tables. A lady came & brought us 2 pieces of thin paper towels. Our waiter upsold us an appetizer - we should've declined. Then he said we couldn't get separate checks. The food is delicious - same menu as Andaaz - our old fave which is no more. The customer service is lacking here. We were disappointed.”

Limones Restaurant 15 Eagle St, Asheville Mexican • $$$

“Every single interaction we had at Limones was sincere, intentional, and well executed. We were greeted and given a place to wait in the lobby with an herbal seltzer. Our server Jamie was extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and gave eloquent, robust descriptions of the food as well as his recommendations we requested. We shared the lardo pizza - you should too. This is cellophane thin pork fat rendered just so to melt into incredible cheese and oven fired crust. I would go back for more this second. Every part of our meal exuded that impeccable attention to detail. A ravioli type pasta with ham cornbread and peas was the perfect Appalachian/Italian pairing. The tiramisu was thick, custardy, eggy in the lightest but creamiest way. The pistachio gelato with pistachio syrup was incredible. My only wish would’ve been to try one more dessert but we did make a 9:30 reservation so you roll the dice. That panna cotta sounded wonderful. I could not imagine anyone being less than thoroughly impressed with Limones. My husband was a chef for 20+ years and felt every aspect of a great meal was part of our meal there. 10/10 Limones.”

Dirty Jack’s 23 Buxton Ave, Asheville Brewery
Recommended

“This is likely our favorite brewery in Asheville! We have a wonderful experience every time we visit which is unfortunately every few years, but always worth the wait. We stopped in last Monday afternoon and were welcomed immediately, the bartender from Denver who I unfortunately didn’t get his name was one of the nicest people we’ve met in a long time. We stayed longer than anticipated because we were having such an enjoyable time with great beers! Their tap list ranges from basic lagers to breakfast porters and many things in between. They have some beer options to go in this location, for merchandise we went next door to the main Green Man brewery. You can’t beat the vibe here at Dirty Jacks though, can’t wait until we can visit again!”

Posana Restaurant 1 Biltmore Ave, Asheville American • $$$

“We chose Posana, where we had eaten before, based on past experiences and the gluten free menu. It involved a birthday, but we try to lowkey those, especially as we get older. Our server, Allie, and her trainee went the extra mile to give excellent service and make us feel very welcome. There were several other dietary restrictions which were easily accommodated. The kale salad and both entrees were quite good. There was even a dessert that was tweaked a bit so I could enjoy it which is usually not true in most restaurants. We were in the front part of the dining room which was somewhat quieter, but it was a Saturday night so there was a full house and the noise that comes with it. They did acknowledge the occasion with a card signed by the employees ( fun to imagine them lined up to do that). We had not been to Posana much this year as we are a bit last minute, so reservations (necessary during tourist season) were a problem. However, we plan to return in the near future. I would strongly recommend it which I don't do often.”

Little Chango 134 Coxe Ave, Asheville Spanish • $

“Visited on my most recent trip to Asheville and was probably one of the best meals on the trip. We got a variety of different arepas(including a vegetarian), yucca fries and corn fritters. The yucca fries were by far my favorite of the sides, the vegetarian arepa was delicious but would have been a little elevated by a crunchy element. My sister got the Ropa Vieja and thought it was delish but would have liked a fresh element to top the dish like cabbage. The Pernil arepa was also a favorite but a little more sauce on the top would have put the dish over the top!
Overall, definitely worth a trip but don’t be surprised if you have to wait a couple minutes for a seat as there is limited seating inside. Service was great and they were very attentive.”

“We had a lovely visit here last evening while briefly in the area. They are doing alright after the terrible hurricane thankfully!!!!! Over the years this has been our favorite go to spot and yesterday was no different. Food very tasty, plentiful, feel is a positive price point. I personally can be a bit picky about barbecue, I really don’t care for excessive fat in my meat and I find the brisket is perfectly lean!! 2 employees who are new to us as we haven’t been back in two years, Ian and Sheryl were very pleasant, smiles on their faces, communicative, and remained diligent in providing great service. They have had some updates on their menu, not as many side choice selections but the ones we all chose were most appetizing! I do miss the pineapple casserole side and was told its available on the menu in the fall. Spouse also feels their beer selection is great. They were all out of the popular homemade banana and wafer pudding, but just gives us something to look forward to during our next visit as we will absolutely continue to eat here. Positive all around! Tasty, clean, and lovely folks all working inside thank you thank you!”

Good Hot Fish 10 Buxton Ave, Asheville Fish & Chips • $$

“Went 11/16, the day after they re-opened following the ongoing devastation to Asheville and the region. We sat at the counter and enjoyed watching chef Ashleigh prepare our food.

GHF Sando was solid. It's stacked comically high, so don't be shy about smashing it with your palm for a manageable eating experience. I thought the white bread would be inferior to a bun, but it worked out well. I wish I'd asked for more sauce and pickles.

The special Smoked Trout Salad sando had an amazing contrast of flavors and textures: sweet and salty, smokey and briney, (fried then chilled?) trout skin and just a touch of two types of tiny popping fish roe. I was surprised I enjoyed it more than the GHF (catfish), but I can say I thorughly enjoyed both because I ONLY ate half of each. A full sando of either would've been a bit much toward the finish.

Sides were ok. The kitchen pepper carrots were a bit subtle for me. The potato chips were tasty but my portion was slightly darker/burnt than the others I saw coming from the fryer. Hush puppies were straight-forward and their briney spiced mayo sauce was fun.

We had the Our South saison, chef Ashleigh's collab with Burial Beer. Although it wasn't particularly remarkable in and of itself, it was a great compliment to the food and a memorable part of the overall experience.

Wheelchair accessibility: Not accessible. Metal staircase only. All (limited) seating at counter-height.”

“This review will be glowing and for a good reason!

I have no idea why this isn’t in our regular rotation of restaurants. We’ve been living here a couple of decades and I have a radio show down the street on 103.3FM, and we go to all the restaurants around this restaurant, but we just never seemed to go here that much. That will certainly change, because everything was delicious!

I started with a dozen oysters which quickly turned into two dozen oysters. Nice and big, served the typical southern way with horseradish and saltine crackers and cocktail sauce. None of the fancy oddness that comes with some other types of oysters. Just good classic stuff!

Speaking of classic, my husband got the oyster po’ boy and loved it. At first he asked for extra remoulade, and the server forgot it, but by the time she got back, he let her know he really didn’t need it. It’s rare that this sandwich is so well flavored that it does not need extra remoulade. I thought it was just perfect.

I had the étouffée. I love a good étouffée. I want to to have just the right amount of spice and just the right amount of crawfish. Although, I could eat pounds of crawfish, and it would never be enough. The sausages were excellent it had enough crawfish. The flavoring was really good. I could have done with another helping of rice, but that was just because I wanted to soak up all the extra sauce.

We did not have dessert, because we had been baking cookies for weeks at home, and so we had tons left over.

For drinks we had the rotating gingers revenge, which we often have, and we often frequent their taproom as well. And I had a really nice half pour of beer to go with my oysters and a nice house Red to go with my étouffée.

Server was excellent without being intrusive.

My only complaint is that it was a little chilly. But with a big glass window, I suppose that could not be avoided. If I had one suggestion it would be to turn up the heat a little bit in the winter time!

We will be back. I’m craving the étouffée already.

Parking: It’s a west Asheville miracle! They have a parking lot in the back.

Kid-friendliness: Totally fine for kids. We saw a couple of kids while we were there.”

Mission Pizza Asheville 101 S Lexington Ave, Asheville Pizza • $$

“I didn't think a pizza could ever bring me to tears, but I was wrong. I was visiting Asheville with my husband, 3-year-old, and 5-month-old when Hurricane Helene hit. That Friday night, when communications and water had been cut off, we didn't know the extent of devastation that area experienced. I went out to find some food for my family and saw some people inside Mission Pizza. I caught them as they were walking out and asked if they were open (again, communications were out, so at the time I didn't realize that I was asking a ridiculous question). The owner was about to drive away as I was talking to some of the employees and he overheard me say I was visiting. He gave me the pizza that he was taking to a friends house. I refused, but he insisted that I take it for my family. It was such a kind gesture on such a hard day that turned into an even harder weekend as the situation worsened. My thoughts, prayers, and donations are all being sent to the people of WNC! And thank you so much to the wonderful soul who fed my family that night. I will never forget the kindness he showed me.”

Laughing Seed Cafe 40 Wall St, Asheville Cafe • $$

“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”

Wynn's Diner 604 New Leicester Hwy, Asheville Diner • $

“Server was an older woman who was down right rude. She brought our food and I reminded her of my biscuit. She snapped at me that I hadn't ordered one- even though we had had a discussion about flavor of jelly- to which she replied "whatever". As she marched away I said to my daughter that I guess she didn't want her tip. She did bring the biscuit and did try to be overly nice, which felt very insincere., almost sarcastic. She had ruined our little celebration brunch with her absolutely awful attitude. I used to love this place.”

Archetype Brewing 265 Haywood Rd, Asheville Brewery • $

“I requested a 2 night stay in my Harvest Host / Boondockers app. I got a quick approval in mins. The brewery was easy to get to, had lots of parking & there was a small local band playing when I arrived. Sky was my very friendly bartender. I asked for a beer suggestion than was on the lighter side. He suggested the Cowboy Poet. He was spot on. I also ordered food from the pizza place. Was really delicious. I got to see Sky on my second night also. I would definitely revisit. The information & description of what to expect were exact. Thank you for sharing your business with the camping community.”

“Recommended by Scott at Weinhaus/Asheville- and we loved it! The entire staff was so gracious and attentive. The moule frites and steak frites were perfectly cooked and predented correctly. We cannot compare this to a better one, because we haven't found better than this. I loved watching the pétanque league play. We'll share our lucky find with our friends; when we move here later this year this place is our top destination.”

VOWL 61 1/2 N Lexington Ave, Asheville Bar • $

“I am one of the organizers for a monthly network gathering group. We chose to go to DSSOLVR and VOWL for our event this month. We had approximately 200 folks there this past Tuesday (January 14, 2024). The staff nailed it at both bars. Serving 200 people at one time can be a challenge... the staff did not disappoint. It was an extremely welcoming evening from the start to the finish. The owners and management were awesome to work with and delivered everything that they promised and more. They provided a DJ for us (DJ Abu Dissarray), which made the evening even that much more fun. Many of the event-goers had not been to either of these bars, but I heard from many folks that they planned on going back due to the friendliness of the staff and the treatment that we received. A big THANK YOU to both DSSOLVR and VOWL. Your new friends at TakeOverTuesday (instagram: TakeOverTuesdaysAVL)”

Stable Cafe 1 Approach Rd, Asheville American • $$

“We dined here for lunch back-to-back days. Servers both days were very knowledgeable and friendly. They also shared some of the history of the restaurant. The booths are placed in the original horse stalls. The iron work, subway tile and brick floor are all original too. The second story is the old hay loft. My wife had the trout BLT both days. So good. I did the chicken salad Day 1 and hamburger Day 2. Both were excellent.”

“Reading some of the reviews here, I was a bit skeptical about the food and service quality before I entered. However, there was nothing to worry about. We had a very helpful and friendly host, maître d', and server. My partner's salmon was well cooked, my fried rice bowl was decent - though I wouldn't call it a fried rice because it was a mix of black rice and quinoa. The dessert was the heavily recommended mousse dome, and we did full justice to it.

But all this was made so much better just by the view! Try to get patio or window seats if possible. You can head out to the terrace later to enjoy the mountains and sunset.”

“I heard about Biscuit Head about a month ago, through a Facebook ad. We were in Asheville to visit Biltmore after Christmas,and visited Biscuit Head on Biltmore Ave twice in two days! The whole staff was so friendly, and the vibe in the restaurant is so fun!! Everything we had both days was fantastic! I ordered the Mimosa fried chicken biscuit both days, and the biscuit donuts, as well! I had to keep apologizing to my family because I was making too many “yum” noises. My husband said the sausage gravy was the best he’s had in ever, and your coffee was great!! When we left yesterday, we genuinely intended to come back for Brunch #3, but the moods were not in our favor today. We look forward to coming back next time we are in Asheville!!”
