“Stopped here driving through, off the beaten path. We are from Michigan. Food was amazing, hospitality was on point! Best burgers in town and one of the best salads with homemade ranch I’ve ever tasted! Highly recommend!!”

“Our office Christmas Party was made complete by lunch from Griff’s Kitchen & Bar! As always, the food was excellent and the service was great! Whether it’s for a special occasion, or you just want a great meal… or maybe you’re too tired to cook and want to grab takeout… Griff’s Kitchen & Bar is a great choice!”

“This place was absolutely amazing and I am planning to make this a regular weekly place I eat at. We came in at 2 for lunch, kind of late and in a rush because I had to pick up my kids at 2:45. We simply asked if we would have time to eat it there or needed to get it to go. They said it would be made fast and they weren't lying. First off they served 2 courses before the main entree was served, not exactly sure what its called but it was a tofu soup and then a spring roll and im not lying both were amazing. I barely finished the spring roll and our main course was being served. I ordered the shrimp fried rice and my fiancee got the pad Thai. It was all amazing and we were leaving by 2:30. Plus for a 14$ lunch special you literally cant beat that. Skip the fast food, the price is literally the same but the quality of food is night and day difference. Here lately I always have heartburn after eating no matter what I eat usually if its fast food its hurting me and even alot of restaurant food. This food didnt do that too me and honestly it was nice not clutching my chest for a few hours after eating. 10/10 will definitely recommend to everyone i know. This place is badass and the service was top notch!”

“Wow! This place has outstandingly delicious food. I tried it for the first today. The mac&cheese pie was very chessey with just a bit of golden brown crust, sinfully good. The collard greens were great,with just hint of tangy warmth. The pulled pork is by far some of the best I have ever tasted anywhere not just Asheville area. Good service. Friendly people.”

“The only negative my companion and I experienced on our visit was that they were out of SEVERAL items on the menu, and we were there for an "early" lunch. That means customers following us were going to have even fewer choices for their meals!”

“Great local spot for a beer and a good hang. Large parking lot makes it easy to get in and out. 4 TV's available in the tap room for viewing (feel free to ask for a channel change if needed). Food truck has unfortunately been closed for a long time but rotating food trucks are normally on site. There are a few light snack options. Always able to bring food from other spots or have something delivered. The bartenders are all nice and knowledgeable. For the nicer days there is a large outdoor patio to sit under cover. Corn hole and shuffleboard on site with ID deposit. Taproom has a kids area with a bunch of toys and coloring books as well as card and board games for the adults. Boom box bingo every 1st and 3rd Sunday from 7-9pm. 15 taps with several that rotate beers. ViDL wines available by the glass or bottle. Stop by and see us!”

“From ordering to receiving our food, it took around 15–20 minutes. There was a little bit of a wait, but it was understandable since there were only two women working at the time. The prices were reasonable. It wasn’t the cheapest option, but once we saw how loaded our quesadillas were, we were pretty pleased with the portion sizes ! Overall, it was a great experience. It was late on a Saturday night, and there weren’t many food options open, so I’m just grateful to have the opportunity to support more local businesses. I’d definitely recommend giving them a try !”
