“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.“

“I ordered an All American Beyond burger. I added American cheese and left everything on it. I ate it way too fast because it was juicy and yummy!!!!! Omg 10/10 order up!!!“

“I stopped by Hail Mary in West Asheville, in the old Tastee Diner spot, during that awkward mid day gap between lunch and dinner when I was absolutely starving. I noticed they had PB&J Brussels sprouts on the menu and knew I had to try them. They did not disappoint. Such a fun and unexpected flavor combination, and it somehow worked perfectly. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to try something a little different.

I’ve also had a lot of burgers around Asheville, and the Popper Burg here was outstanding. It was a hefty amount of beef grilled to perfection, and the bun stayed out of the way instead of overwhelming the burger. Considering the quality and portion compared with the price, I’d say it easily ranks among my favorite burgers in Asheville.

I also had a chance to meet the owner, Kelly, in person for the first time and I could immediately tell how much passion she puts into the restaurant. The whole place is dripping with Y2K personality, which paired perfectly with the friendly staff and overall vibe.

If you’re visiting Asheville, I wouldn’t miss this one even though it’s not downtown. I think this might even become my go-to late night spot now that Barrel House closed last year.

A huge thanks to everyone for the amazing food and experience. I’ll be back very soon!“

“Friendly Amazing food Great prices Quick service I believe you can feel the love in the food“

“On Saturday, February 14th, I went downtown for a solo dinner at Huli Sue’s and quickly realized I had completely forgotten Billy Strings was in town for the weekend. Between Valentine’s Day and a sold-out show within walking distance, downtown was absolute chaos. Walking into Huli Sue’s, though, felt like stepping into a well-oiled machine. The hostess (I truly wish I had gotten her name) greeted everyone calmly and kept the flow of guests organized and welcoming. They were operating on a reservation system for the evening honestly genius given the circumstances. Even as a party of one, the wait was about an hour and a half, which I completely understood. Knowing I was craving their food, she suggested takeout. She even let me sit at the table where they roll silverware so I could look over the menu and wait for my roommate to text their order and never once made me feel rushed. While I waited, I watched her run the entrance like an absolute goddess. She was pleasant, efficient, and incredibly organized. Every table being notified was already set, down to water poured and ready. When guests arrived, she greeted them with genuine enthusiasm and walked them to their tables like they were honored guests. Downtown was a madhouse. People kept walking in without reservations, and she calmly explained the wait. When guests were understandably discouraged, she let them know they were accepting reservations for the 15th and I honestly didn’t hear a single person turn her down. She made everyone feel welcome. Despite the cold and the madness outside, the restaurant remained calm and peaceful inside. Even at full capacity, the volume stayed comfortable. The kitchen ran like an orchestra no yelling, no chaos, no stressed staff just teamwork and smiles. I wanted to take a moment to praise Huli Sue’s, their staff, and their phenomenal hostess. They handled what could have been an overwhelming night with grace and efficiency. They already had my business —but after that experience, I’ll make it a point to go even more often.“

“Would give 1,000 stars if I could. My wife and I both agreed this was the best burger, fries, and onion rings we’ve ever had. Highly recommend!“

“On July 6, 2023, my husband and I ate at The Madness on Merrimon Ave for the first time. I ordered sushi and he had a burger. We both had salads and spring rolls. The service and the food was excellent. Nothing to complain about. We look forward to visiting The Madness again.“

“Cool place, nice folks, and yummy food! Highly recommend!!“

“I still think about how good the wings are and I haven't been to Asheville in a while.“

“Let me start by saying that I live close to hotdog world in Hendersonville and still drive to Celebrity hotdogs! Fast service, love the man that’s always at the register. Not sure if he’s the owner but he’s got a wonderful personality. The food always slaps and I never walk away hungry! Highly recommend“

“A local bar with great food, service and beer selection. Excellent cocktails with generous pours. Ample seating inside as well as on the patio. Highly recommended.“

“Wife and I were visiting Asheville for the Southern Highland Craft show at the Civic Center. We parked in the Civic Center garage, and walked out to Rankin street, not knowing a thing about this area of town. We strolled up Rankin a bit, and saw a sign above the door of this place touting Asheville's best burgers. So, we went it. You order at the end of the bar and then sit down. They bring your food to your table. We each got the smash burger and tater tots, and just had water (self serve) to drink. These burgers are absolutely amazing, and so are the tots. We live in Greenville SC, and this burger beats anything we've had so far. Atmosphere is dive-bar and cool as hell.“

“Amazing food & amazing staff!“

“10/10 My 1st time but won’t be my last!“

“Rarely do you find a restaurant that offers such variety but then also delivers on quality, presentation and flavor! It's so crazy it's madness!! I'm guessing that's why they named it so. The food & drinks are reasonably priced. They also offer drink specials every day of the week like $5 pint night on Mondays. The ambiance is calm and relaxing, there is plenty of seating and the staff are nice. Parking seems a little tight tho. The bathrooms and restaurant are clean as well. This has become a regular meeting spot for my friends and I. 🙂“

“friendly bartender. nice suggestions on what else/where else we should try.“

“I see that the last review of this restaurant was in 2020, so though I don't have a lot to add, I thought I'd submit a more recent review to let people know that this restaurant is still in business and, from my experience there, has not changed much since the previous reviews. Basically, this is a short-order kitchen in a simple setting that serves a variety of breakfast items (eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits, pancakes, omelettes, etc.) and lunch items (burgers, sandwiches, salads) for relatively low prices, in a simple take-out or small diner setting (with inside and outside seating). I would not describe the cooking as particularly special or delicious (as some have) -- it actually seemed pretty basic, but it seemed to be good quality (other than maybe the coffee) and at very good (low) prices. Overall, if you're in the area and would like a quick, inexpensive breakfast or lunch, it's pretty good.“

“Awesome food , nice folks“

“Great staff!! And management. I stopped in just for a milkshake. Kelly was who took my order. She helped me make up my mind and did a special milkshake for me... Thank you Kelly for the friendly service and great milkshake! I'll be back!“

“I had my dog with me when we went through the drive-thru and the employees had a fit over him and was so sweet to him gave him doggie treats and was talking to him and just made him so happy just hell was wagging when we left and that was amazing and thanks to the fast service me and my pop got to have a really good lunch and he loved his chicken nuggets and water.“

“After waiting about 30 mins longer at the adjacent Cracker Barrel than was indicated to our party of 6, we decided to go to Applebees. I have not been in one in several years, but I was pleasantly surprised and we ALL enjoyed our meals and Chip was a great server. I was impressed and will definitely return to THIS location when back in West Asheville.“

“This Cook Out location maintains the brand standards of several other locations we’ve visited. Service is good and fast, and food quality is more than sufficient for the price. It’s a clean dining room and we would have no problem visiting again, when the opportunity presents itself.“

“My car hop was so sweet, I wish I could remember their name 🤔. Always fast and delicious! My favorite is their supersonic breakfast burrito, hits the spot with a good amount t of kick from them jalapeños. This is the best Sonic within 30 miles!“

“Good was hot, ladies were genuine and charismatic! They were ecstatic to welcome us in. They gave us extra sauces, and made sure our food was nice and hot! Was quiet and clean when we went in (including the restrooms, being just cleaned and upkept )“

“I have been to many fast food restaurants since the pandemic first came about and have had issues in one form or another at each and every one of them. But let me tell you about this crew at Wendy’s on Smokey park…. From the moment you walk in the door until you walk out they are the most polite and cheerful group. They acknowledged us when we came in and the cashier was stocking the condiments and cleaning the drink counter. She said I will be right with you and quickly finished up what she had started and came to take our order. The employees in the back cooking and assembling went right to work getting our order together. I made a mistake on my order and she quickly allowed me to fix it and was gracious about it and not rude like other places have been. We sat down and ate and others came in and they were just as polite. It was like a breathe of fresh air in these trying times we are in. 1000000% would recommend you eating here and seeing what I got to witness today.“

“My go-to McDonalds. This is one of the few McDonald's whose shakes have the right amount of syrup added (last time I checked). I drink a lot of milkshakes, and most McDonald's seem to get the ratio wrong (West Asheville and Weaverville, I'm looking at you). The woman who drives the purple car is also hilarious and pleasant to talk to. Food is usually pretty fresh. I've never experienced their ice cream machine down.“

“Wow Nicholas Freeman Manager at merrimon location I remember Nicholas Freeman at Biltmore location night closing he always wears smiles and very Friendly. Nicholas goes out of his way to make sure Food is always Hot.“
