Rocky’s came Highly recommended from Emma, at the tasting room Eda Ryne. The very best food we have eaten in a LONG time!! The fried green tomatoes with pepper jelly and goat. Cheese were the Best Ever, along with the Medium fried chicken! I'll be telling everyone I know that visits the Biltmore, to stop here for lunch/ dinner!

Parking: I'm from California, I was just staying in asheville for a few days. This place was better than anything in the downtown areas ive had.

Chicken tasted great; had tenders and waffles. Spice level: rockys hot. FANTASTIC heat. Waffle tasted fine, nothing too special. Got fries as well, cooked nicely, a bit overly salted for my taste but not a deal breaker.

Fast service despite it being decently busy. Def recommend people check...

Delicious fried chicken. One chicken tender is nearly the size of a small chicken breast - they are HUGE! I can only eat one.

The service was great. We always eat on the covered patio, it’s so pleasant out there.

The sides are alright - but definitely not amazing like the chicken.
