“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!“

“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!!!“

“What a great place to celebrate our birthdays. Two from KY and two from Augusta GA to enjoy celebrating all four of us having birthdays. Stuart who waited on us was EXCELLENT. We asked him about the damage to Asheville and we could hear it in his voice how hurt he was because others suffered so much. He was very gracious that we chose Asheville to celebrate our birthdays. I had the best shrimp and grits ever and I'm 73. Every meal the fried oysters, salads, Reuben Sandwich there is no negative experience. I hesitated to order the banana pudding but was intrigued by the description. So glad I did, it was so different than what I've ever had but the BEST I've ever had. Thank you to everyone working that day on 1/22 that wished us Happy Birthdays and made this such a wonderful memory for all 4 of us. Very welcoming, great personalities but above all GREAT FOOD.“

“Amazing lunch. Swordfish sandwich. Incredible“

“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!“

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

“Fabulous food and service as always. Connor was a great server. Cocktails were delicious too. And presented in lovely thin glass. We really appreciated a straight bill no kitchen tip or credit card fee added. Makes one happy to tip very well. Keep up the great work Posana. One would never know this is a designated GF restaurant the food is just amazing.“

“We had an excellent experience at Salt Face Mule! Our bartender, Kennedy, provided outstanding service. She was friendly, attentive, and made great recommendations. The food was fantastic too, fresh and full of flavor. Highly recommend stopping by! I got the blueberry waffles and added fried chicken to it.“

“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.“

“Stumbled upon this gem while visiting Asheville. Close to a wonderful independent bookstore so stopped in for lunch and nostalgia. My husband’s BLT and my chicken salad were excellent. So fun to sit at the lunch counter and see and listen. One of my favorite parts was watching a worker make a steaming, frothy hot chocolate with a machine that looked like it was from the 60s. After enjoying lunch at a great price, I was able to walk through the art gallery. The Soda Fountain is definitely a cool place to go!“

“Friendly atmosphere, good food.“

“Food was great our waitress was great and informative.“

“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 LOVE the one stop! The people, the place, the fans. Can’t wait to visit y’all again! 5 🌟“

“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 ❤️“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“We ate brunch at the Exchange and it was excellent. Food and service were great. Savannah took great care of us and even surprised us with a slice of cake for my wife's birthday. Definitely recommend the basket of pastries for the table.“
