“Came here for lunch and very much enjoyed it! I was pleased by the gluten free options available and I did not have a reaction. The seasonal pumpkin flan really hit the spot too! We will definitely be back.”

“So delicious my husband I stopped by on our way from Asheville and we will definitely go back! Out of this world short ribs and grits and the Beradu breakfast patter was delicious!”

“Awesome selection of ciders and meads! Have been to numerous cideries but Black Mountain is by far the best for quality and selection. Great hosts!!!”

“Amazing breakfast one of the best I've ever had🙌🙌 Will be back when traveling to or through Asheville area. Great food and great service and dog friendly on the porch which was great. Everyone in our party was equally impressed and enjoyed😋”

“Employees are friendly and cheerful. Chef accommodates special requests. We had salmon cakes, hamburgers, Curry bowl, wings, and fresh fish of the day... all well prepared and delicious. The live farm animals are precious..will be back..thanks Mark and Kim!”

“The best tacos in the world!!!”

“Great little place with a better than average selection of beer and wine and a great food truck. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable”

“We came in from out of town to relax and have a drink. I ordered coffee and my wife ordered a martini. We didn’t know that you weren’t able to have alcohol outside (although someone at another table had a martini as well). We had our dogs with us and we apologized profusely when the bar manager Victoria came outside and mentioned it. As we were gathering our things, we could hear her inside talking about how she’s tired of this “sh*t” , telling patrons at the bar. Initially we ignored it since we were trying to have a relaxing time in a new town. She kept on so I went in and asked if she was talking about us loud enough to where we can hear her outside! She apologized and said there are signs on the tables. First of all, there was one sign on a table that was written on what looked like a piece of paper and you could barely read the words. There was NO sign on our table and she said people take them off. I don’t like people insinuating that I’m doing something I didn’t do. We paid a 30 percent gratuity for the service we received and this is the treatment your customers receive?! Unbelievable! I told her it’s probably not in her best interest to insult and berate customers that are spending their hard earned money in your town.”

“Definitely in the top 3 best restaurants in Black Mountain. Yes, in my opinion there are only 3. I hate that it took me two years to try Annie’s. Clean, fresh, exceptional food. Exceeds expectations. Definitely my place now. Staff was as wonderful as the food”

“The best pizza and cheesy garlic bread. Even worth a 2.5 hour drive. Elizabeth was phenomenal!!! Can’t wait to come back!”

“Cozy dining room, delicious food, and attentive service. Great wine selection—we loved our meal and can’t wait to come back!”

“First visit tonight. Sat upstairs outside. Incredible attentive service from everyone we talked to. The food was delicious and described perfectly. Can’t wait to return and try some other dishes.”

“We had such a nice dinner on the outdoor patio with a beautiful view of the mountains. Loved the ratatouille crepes! Dog, friendly. Lovely wine list. Highly recommend!”

“Definitely make Black Mountain Bistro your next lunch/dinner spot. We ate 2 meals there in one day because it was so good. Fried pickles, pretzel bites, chicken tenders, ribeye steak and crab cakes we all so good! Ask for Sarah to be your server. The sweetest person!”

“As always fresh delicious and served perfectly. Thanks for a great breakfast !!”

“Yall. Simply the best pastries and coffee I’ve had in quite some time! Went to Black Mountain to celebrate my birthday with my daughter & sister. We ordered one of every pastry and had a taste test of 3 items and took home the rest. THEY WERE AMAZING!! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, the staff friendly and attentive, and the pastries tasted like they came from a French pastry shop. Will definitely be back soon!”

“You guys are awesome and we love the space!”

“I wanted to give a huge shout-out to the team at the Dripolator on Tunnel Road for being such incredible community partners. We recently collaborated with them for our Golden Egg Hunt, and they went above and beyond to help make it a success! They were egg-perts at hiding one of our prize eggs. It’s rare to find a local spot that is as dedicated to community engagement as it is to brewing a perfect cup of coffee. Speaking of which—if you haven't tried their seasonal lattes or fresh baked goods, you are seriously missing out. 🥐”

“A big thank you to Kilwins Black Mountain for supporting our Live Piano Bingo series! Your sweet generosity makes our events even more special. We appreciate you!”

“Vibes ✨🍺. I've really enjoyed all the beers I've had there over the last few years. I'm in town a few times a year to visit family but I always make time for a pint here. I'm not the kind of person that needs to meet people everywhere I go, but I always end up in a conversation with someone there and it's always enjoyable. There are a lot of lovely places to go in town, but I really like coming back here. I hope the city reconsiders working something out with them over the patio drama.”

“I was cruising through the local ingles drifting my buggy a little bit though the turns here in Hendersonville. The plan was to just grab a few things for work and some coffee. I will be honest and admit I am usually a Folgers kind of guy. I mean they say it is the best part of waking up, and who am I to argue. I decided to try something new, that’s when I noticed some bags sitting on a shelf towards the front of the store. Dynamite Coffee! I gave it a quick google and it turns out it is made local. I noticed one of the bags had a cannon on it. I thought it looked pretty cool, which all the bags had good looking designs. “Dynamite Expresso” was the name. I said, I am sure that it has plenty of caffeine. I poured it in the coffee maker, and when I say it smelled like heaven, I mean it. Finally, after much anticipation it finished brewing, the room was filled with the smell of happiness. As I poured it into my cup, my mouth was watering like Niagara Falls. Then, I took a sip. I would compare the taste to warm sunshine on a cold snowy day or putting on a jacket you haven’t worn in a while, and you find a $20 dollar bill in one of the pockets. It was truly amazing. Then the caffeine started to do its job. Not jittery, just a smooth ramp up of motivation and alertness. Like a plane taking off. I want to say thank you! I am sure my job would thank you too.”

“I saw a bluegrass show here a few weeks ago, and dayyyyyyyyyyum this place is good. Great venue, great sound mixing, great service, spacious, plenty of room outside, easy parking, the works. I'm not in town often, but I will be back, that is for sure.”

“I've been visiting the Red Rocker Inn for years now. I've seen the changes it's gone through and I can honestly say, it just keeps getting better & better!😍”

“We were looking for a simple yet delicious sandwich restaurant, and a shop owner in town recommended OSS. Wow! If we lived here OSS would be our go-to place! Impeccable service, delicious bread and sandwich ingredients! The homemade potato salad is to die for!”

“I went in for the raw oysters and they were great! Then I tried a meal and it was pretty good. The service was a little hard to get somebody to attend to me. But I think it was because it was right at closing time and even after hours when I got done eating. But they were very nice and did not run me off and I will go back again!”

“the service is amazing, the staff are amazing especially bartender Allison, the food is great and the drinks are spot on. the atmosphere is fun and friendly. 5 stars all around. we go there almost weekly. must get the mussels and the fries are to die for....”

“I am thicker than a bowl of oatmeal, and these seats accommodate my booty, so I approve. 5 outta 5. Food is also tremendous.”

“Passing through picturesque Black Mountain to have lunch, my husband and I stopped for a cookie in a local craft store. The ginger molasses cookies we bought were perfect in every way and exactly what we were craving! As we got back on the highway, my husband said that the cookies made the whole stop worth it! Thank you Four Sisters!”

“Best ice cream ever!! Their vegan pea-based ice creams are out of this world and with such unique and delicious flavors! I appreciate that The Hop gives so much back to our community as well. ❤️”

“Great vibes in this bar, Kendra (is that how you spell it?) is awesome. The live music is nice and just fills the place with love. It's the best bar I've been to in NC.”

“Absolutely delicious pizza!!! The Detroit style was amazing… can’t wait to go back”

“A great coffee shop located inside Ridgecrest Conference Center in Black Mountain. You do have to be attending an event or staying on campus to enjoy the coffee shop. They have an excellent selection of drinks and snacks too.”

“Amazing new owners! Excellent Boston crème pie cupcake and the cranberry orange sourdough is exceptional! Great customer service!”

“always very kind and great food.”

“The quality of the cuisine is generally satisfactory. The staff demonstrates a high level of affability and the service is expeditious. Typically, food preparation time does not exceed fifteen minutes.”

“BBQ sandwich and M&C . Great. ! Thanks for the quick service.”

“As much as I love to support local I often come here because the local shops either aren’t conducive to studying or aren’t open when I need coffee. This has become my spot to come to when I want to get work done. Everyone is friendly, even when I come through at 5:40am before having to head to the hospital.”

“We really enjoyed Foothills Grange while visiting Black Mountain this past weekend. We had lunch and a couple pints there on Friday after a 5 hour drive. They have a great outdoor space with plenty of seating. You have to go up to the bar to place your order but they bring your food out to the table. They have a really large covered sandbox area with large tractor equipment for the kids to play. The food was really good. A couple of us got the homemade hotdogs and they were spot on.
Saturday was a crazy rain day. Not much to do, but we had a couple beers indoors at Foothills Grange to pass the time. The people who work there are super friendly. Would definitely go back.”
