“The cocktail menu is phenomenal. Chris the bartender has his own creations and they are amazing. Ian the owner is so personable, he has really put some time and effort in his delectable menu choices. We love this place! Go check it out“

“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!“

“Ribeye was outstanding, 2 vegs and bread. Good menu items and fast service“

“We visited the area the week of Aug. 2-6. Our first visit. Take out only. Not a problem. They have a system to get you in and out quickly, with hot food, done as ordered. I eat my hotdogs pretty plain, husband eats his ATW. We loved our food. We ate outside on one of several small booths. This is a locally owned business. We strive to find these when we travel. Glad we found this one.“

“Not as good lately $4.25 for a just warm coffee....“

“First visit today and it won’t be our last!! It was fantastic!!!“

“my friends and I visited Monday after the herb festival and had the best food of our whole trip at Chestnut! they had the Eggs Benedict and I chose the burger gluten free. all our meals were amazing and the care our waitress put into asking about my gluten issues was so appreciated! I do believe it was the best gluten free burger fries and cheese tots I have eaten ever! Thank you so much for taking the time and going the extra mile for those of us with Celiac. Crystal ( I hope that's right, my mind is old lol)was truly awesome and everyone needs to experience this place and her! 500 stars!!“

“I have been to Little D's several times since they opened, and every time they exceed the previous meal. they are creative, perfectly presented, and amazingly delicious!“

“Amazing lunch. Swordfish sandwich. Incredible“

“We had breakfast the food service and prices were great“

“Patrick was an outstanding waiter. Michael (?) that was his assistant was great. \nRestaurant vibe excellent. The beef tartare rivals any I have had. The short rib was great, tender. Gemelli pasta good, but a little off. Really wanted to like mushrooms but too much balsamic - more butter and wine! The dessert was disappointing, a very stiff tiramisu. Taste okay but rather “concrete’ in texture.“

“I’ve eaten here 2 times in the last 2 months. The food is delicious , the service has been excellent and the atmosphere is so nice . I’ve enjoyed eating on their patio . I know I’ll be returning .“

“We are from out of town and love to try the local favorites. The food was fresh and delicious. The restaurant was unique and the service was friendly.“

“This was hands down one of the best breakfast spots we tried during our weekend getaway to Asheville. My boyfriend and I both got a bacon egg and cheese on a biscuit which was out of this world!! Reminded us of authentic southern homemade cooking, something hard to come by with many chain or franchise restaurants. Highly recommend giving this hidden gem a try!“

“Never disappoints, always consistent service with amazing food. Our favorite Asheville restaurant.“

“Great Brewery!! Had interesting conversations with brewer. Very knowledgeable staff, Jeremy was an excellent bartender and knows the beers well. Tried the Burning Daylight fest Bier and it was an amazing beer. Light Oktoberfest!!! Will definitely be back!!“

“My husband and I enjoyed the shrimp Po boys tonight at the Highland brewing and it was AMAZING!!! We are from New Orleans so it was super special to get a po boy in Asheville with REAL French bread. I loved Grush's twist on the Po boy with the pickled veggies and the delicious sauce. 10/10 recommend them. I can't wait to try more food items but I may just keep eating the Po boys because they were that good! Also, Panda was the SWEETEST and Grush is so talented. ❤️“

“We had absolutely wonderful service & delicious cocktails during our visit in Asheville. Meticulously crafted cocktails by a very knowledgeable mixologist (can’t remember his name). We will definitely be back next time we’re in town.“

“A very fun place to go! We loved our visit there and Grandma and the Great Grandkids thought it was a Blast…. From the past for Grandma. Everything was clean, service was great and the wait was not too long. The Malts were delicious too.“

“Michael was our server and he was truly amazing!! The atmosphere was so cozy and romantic and the service was immaculate! My husband and I had never experienced a dining experience like this. The hostesses were so friendly and kind, all the waiting staff were accommodating, and Michael worked so hard to make sure we had the best possible experience. The food was unlike any we had tried before and was fresh. It came out quickly and tasted like it was very well prepared by highly trained chefs. We absolutely will be returning in the future and recommend it to all that can make it.“

“We were looking at adding a den onto our cabin and met with three different contractors. We felt comfortable with Josh and we made the right choice. We are part timers here in waynesville so we really needed someone we could trust. He kept us informed throughout the construction and made great suggestions. Can’t say enough how thankful we are that we chose A and B. Thanks for a job well done“

“We were highly impressed with our first visit to Tall John’s! We had the Bravette Steak and Duck, both cooked to perfection! The cocktails were equally unique and tasty! Cool Vibes & yummy food! Oh, and we both have a gluten issue and were accommodated easily! We will be back ❤️“

“Had a great Turkey Pita and White Ale on the patio with friends. Excellent wooded vibes and great food selection!

I would recommend 1) Something to keep the tables from wobbling. 2) A menu with accurate pricing. My bill was different than the menu suggested.“

“We sat at the bar and the bartender Wes was top notch. Very personable, remembered our names when we came back in because we left a bag. Great experience and I highly recommend.“

“The Carolina dog is the best hotdog in the world. A dance between the devil with the chilli and onions and the angle of the sweet coleslaw just hits different. And the dog has a snap to it i have never enjoyed before. Jade is a sweetheart and makes them dogs quick and delicious. Must visit.“

“Good service and food 🥘 the scenery is great too“
