Stopped by Rye Knot for lunch today. Extremely disappointed. We've been here several times before and always recommended, especially for the Reuben with homemade corned beef and the fish and chips. My husband ordered the mushroom soup, strangely innocuous and just okay. The Reuben was good but not as good as previously. My fish was not cooked completely and resulted in soggy batter. highly disappointing. I'm fairly sure we will not return. I mentioned my disappointment to the server and she took my input but nothing was offered. One good thing, the fries were great but not enough for a return visit.

Came for lunch and had the Rueben and shrimp Sammy . Was delish and their house beers too! We even played a couple games of Gin Rummy thanks to Joann’s deck of cards!

What a great brewpub! We were in town for three days and got dinner here each night, so we sampled lots of the fare. Slight of brews, all well made to style. Cocktails using their own distilled spirits, very well balanced and crafted. Food ranging from poutine to soups, nachos to sandwiches, consistently excellent. And I simply have to mention the Tallow Fries — best fries you will ever have!
The service was consistently excellent. The noise level quite low even when crowded, which is not easy to achieve with a high ceiling. All in all a comfortable place with top notch food, beverages and service.
Today my husband and I ate at Rye Knot and initially enjoyed our visit. We ordered a burger and sandwich. My husband had a live June bug crawl out of his burger. We notified the waitress immediately and she was very apologetic. However, the manger came by with a smile and said “sorry this happened” while chuckling. They remade my husbands burger and when the brought it to us, the man who I presume is the manager, said “this isn’t the craziest thing we have had happen. We once had a copper head in our green tomatoes”. We had to pay full price for this meal and had little to no acknowledgment of the incident.

The waitress was very nice and accommodating. The food took a long long time to come, and we were talking about two Ruben sandwiches. When they came one of them was wrong and we had to wait another 10 to 15 minutes to get them remade. The “pastrami” of the Reuben was tasteless. I could not finish mine and they did offer me a 50% reduction and cost. It seems that they want to do things right, but from my point of view, I would not be going back there again.

The food is exceptional! Do not miss this local icon!! We could not have had better food and service. Start with mussels and follow with the aged tenderloin and salmon. You can’t go wrong!
I had the pastrami sandwich! And let me say that it was the best I have ever had. And I have had many over the years!!!! I rank it right up there to the sandwiches I have gotten in New York City!!

Great locally owned brewery and restaurant. Great place to watch a football game and enjoy some wings. Their food is always solid. The staff are friendly.

Giving it one star because it was the mid-est of mid and exceptionally overpriced. I haven’t been blown away by this lackluster of a milquetoast restaurant in Asheville in a LONG time.
The weirdest part- I’m not joking about this- was one of the owners eating at the bar when we arrived, who proceeded to *very* loudly/grossly lick their fingers, beatboxed on the bar top, mumbled to themselves repeatedly, and slammed their phone down on the bar. Maybe they were on some good weed, which, fine…or they were just being an aloof bar owner doing a weird flex in their restaurant.
Other stuff: They brew their own beer - they shouldn’t. They should just buy other reputable AVL breweries’ beer. It was exceedingly bland.
The food- it was food. I was excited about the GF options on the menu but it was just technically sustenance.
Atmosphere- has potential, truly. Clean, bright, cool layout, really nice bar. But…All the military branch flags, odd smattering of kitschy nautical theme decorations, and the oddball owner at the bar really detracted from the vibe. Also, we are in our mid thirties and we were definitely the youngest people in the restaurant. Just saying.
Price- insanely overpriced. $104 for drinks, a single quartered corn cob (a “rib” if you will), a flavorless ribeye sandwich, and BBQ wings that were…chicken with BBQ on them.
First time. Carry out
