“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!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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. ❤️“

“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.“

“We were a party of 8...in the summer...around lunchtime...so it was crowded but we were seated quickly..had biscuits right away and our food came out quickly...portions were huge..(.I think the meatloaf slice was a pound of beef by itself.)..Staff were courteous and helpful with our wheelchair and walkers.food was reasonably priced... our only "negative" comment would be that some desserts ran out :( but everything else was great!“

“Just went for my birthday dinner to the Rye Knot. We had the Brussel Sprouts for an appetizer. Solid. I had the smoked rye old fashioned and my GF had house margarita...both were delicious.
We both had steaks...a tenderloin and ribeye....perfectly done and seasoned very well.
Stephanie was our very attentive waitress and we had a chance to meet Bob and his wife ( owners ). Bob is a retired Navy Commander and that gives him bonus points in my book since I am a Jarhead from way back ;)

Please visit these folks and tell them Larry sent you ;)

Semper Fi ;)“

“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.“

“Man, this place is awesome. The service? Top-tier—super friendly and on point. And the food? So good! I was psyched that they could make their crab cakes gluten-free, and honestly, they were insane. Crispy, flavorful, just straight-up delicious. Now, the BBQ pork flatbread? Total game changer. Smoky, a little sweet, a little tangy, with the perfect crunch. Just the kind of thing you wanna keep going back for.“

“We had a great time at Table. The staff was attentive and kind. The oysters were perfect. Sometimes oysters aren’t cleaned properly but these were and the taste was spot on with the mignonette. They had wonderful recommendations like the dark chocolate sorbet which was fantastic and made in house. Quiet place for a casual dining experience.“

“Great view of smokie/Appalachian mountains. Came for appetizers and drinks before dinner in the main dining room. Great relaxing setting. Also got to see a wedding on the lawn below the terrace, with the mountains in the background. What a lovely romantic touch to the start of an evening.“

“Jade created a delicious “Figgy Stardust” bratwurst that had arugula pesto, fig preserves, and candied walnuts on top. It was an unusual and wonderful combination! She was great in letting me know that it was her new creation and to let her know if I liked it or not. I loved it!!“

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

“We had patio seating on a beautiful summer evening...our server Anna was fabulous and extremely knowledgeable about the menu including all the specials. Our food was delicious, large Portions and the special green apple cheesecake was outstanding. One of our favorite restaurants in the area.“

“We dined here for lunch back-to-back days. Servers both days were very knowledgeable and friendly. They also shared some of the history of the restaurant. The booths are placed in the original horse stalls. The iron work, subway tile and brick floor are all original too. The second story is the old hay loft. My wife had the trout BLT both days. So good. I did the chicken salad Day 1 and hamburger Day 2. Both were excellent.“

“Great food and staff are awesome too!“

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

“Ive been coming here quite a while. Kayla and Sarah are always my bartenders and already know what I want. The food is great, and i met the new bar manager today, Nicole, who was very friendly and helping out behind the bar. Overall great place to hang out!“

“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.“

“Wonderful experience at Tall John’s last night! We stopped in for appetizers and drinks. Everything was amazing! We had the special appetizer and mussels. Excellent wine menu, great atmosphere and overall amazing experience! We will definitely be back for brunch or dinner too! Side note- where can I find the bathroom wallpaper to purchase? Very interesting! 😊“

“The Beer Geek tour was very informative and a great value. If you have 3 hours and want to get a behind the scene experience of the beer making process every step of the way from water and grains and ending with finished product in packaging, this is the tour for you. The tour guide Mary did a great job explaining the process and answering questions. Additionally, all the employees we encoutered along the way were very friendly and showed great pride in their company and the immaculate Mills River facility!“

“Excellent service and timeliness of reservation. We were able to get in a little earlier than our reservation. Lump crab cake was excellent with the pickled cauliflower. We shared the trout with cauliflower mashed and carrots, as well as the pot roast with potatoes. All excellent for lactose intolerant eaters, especially the vegan apple crumble with almonds. Wonderful experience with the Georgia/Alabama appetizer!!“

“Great food. Locally sourced. Friendly, well-trained staff.“

“Fantastic meal last night at Jargon! The ginger carrot 🥕 soup was incredible. We paired it with Asparagus and risotto. The strawberry dessert was amazing and the after dinner drinks with espresso beans were perfection.“

“Second time to Asheville and we made it a must to stop in on our short night stay since last visit was 20' w C19. Though we just left TLT and ate a ton we still ordered FGT and a pie despite being beyond full cause we wanted to try it again. 10/10 for food and staff, so glad we walked down.“

“We’ve passed by so many times and always see a bunch of cars. We finally stopped in last night and we are so glad we did. Drinks were great, our server was fantastic. I think her name was Gretta. She gave us food suggestions and was very attentive. Food was great. Hubby had the Sea Bass special and I had the pork belly and scallops. Both delicious. The baklava pie was out of this world. I think we will be stopping by again while we are visiting. Highly recommended. Lots of people waiting for a table and take out. We loved the vibe and decor.“

“My daughter and I stopped in Mt pleasant location today for the first time ! It was yummy ! Can’t wait to go back ! The pork belly was off the chain !“

“Great breakfast, friendly staff and fun atmosphere! Biscuits were amazing and the sausage gravy to die for!“
