“It was delicious!! Staff was amazing too!!“

“Here's all you need to know about my husband and my enthusiasm for Blue Ridge Pizza Company -- we moved our wedding back one week so they could cater it! My husband and I are wanderlusts from Michigan. We decided to have an intimate destination wedding outside of Harrisonburg, Virginia – 10 hours from our home – on the grounds of a historic bed and breakfast. Blue Ridge Pizza Company was one of the caterers recommended by our wedding planner. At first, we grappled with the idea of hiring a wood-fired pizza truck. Would it seem cheap? Would it feel too quirky or casual? Would our guests, who traveled many miles to join us, feel disappointed in pizza and salad for the grand occasion? Spoiler alert: Nope. Nothing could be farther from the truth! We visited BRPC's commissary kitchen in November 2021 – our one trip to Virginia before the actual wedding in October 2022. We spent an hour chatting with the wonderful owners, tasting their food, and letting our doubts fade away. Our favorite items from that tasting were the bacon-wrapped dates, the Cider Fest, and The Meats. BRPC's customer service is even better than its food. Hard to believe, we know! We worked with Justine and Melissa remotely from the initial inquiry to the big day. These ladies were a complete joy! They communicated frequently and thoroughly, answered countless questions, and worked seamlessly with our wedding planner, venue, and other vendors. We chose three appetizers, a charcuterie board, a wonderful salad ("The Charleston"), and four varieties of wood-fired pizza for our reception. We also utilized BRPC's bartending services. They worked with us on signature cocktails – making recommendations and suggestions we hadn't considered. Before the reception, we were delighted by the smells of food prep. The scent of premium, cooked meats wafted to us on the gentle breeze and gave us a preview of coming attractions. Unexpected bonus! Our guests loved BRPC's offerings, and we all ate until we couldn't eat anymore. Several guests commented that it was the pizza they'd ever had. The bartenders were wonderfully courteous, prompt, and energetic. One of my favorite memories from the reception was watching the bartenders bust a move behind the bar. Moments like that create big smiles and full hearts. I'm thankful BRPC was there to celebrate with us!“

“Great course. Good people.“

“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!“

“It is always amazing food and I really love trying new things and they update their menu often with great selections for lunch and dinner.“

“Had lunch with you yesterday. very impressed great service delicious food. Glad I found you will return. 👏👏“

“Popped in w/o reservation on a Saturday afternoon. We were seated right away. Our server was knowledgeable and efficient. Though just opened from the devastation of Helene, the food was fresh and hot to the table with a very short wait. We both had samplers. one sausage and the other a schnitzel variety. The entree and sides were delicious. We lived in Germany for seven years and the food was spectacularly authentic, even down to the broetchen in the bread basket, crunchy on the outside and softly chewy inside. If you like real-deal German food, make a reservation today. Sehr gute geschmeckt!“

“Here from Texas, And I must say... This place alone beats Texas BBQ, and that is a big statement.. Burnt ends, pig wings, fries, and cheese corn are my favorites!“

“Had lunch with you yesterday. very impressed great service delicious food. Glad I found you will return. 👏👏“

“My friend and I enjoyed a post hike meal here. Service was wonderful. Food, atmosphere, everything about this place was great. Great, quality food, at a very reasonable price point. 10/10. Honestly cannot recommend this place enough. Chris in the bar was fantastic.“

“Today I met a friend at Three Chopt in Hendersonville, NC. This was the *first* time I had eaten at this restaurant in our lovely downtown even though I had heard of it before. Not only was the atmosphere quaint and the service very friendly but the food was DELICIOUS and the owner (Matthew) is awesome. This spot is a GEM in Hendersonville. *** As we were finishing up our meal and paying the check Matthew came around to *each* table with a free cookie - spreading kindness and love and asking everyone to call a friend or family member and tell them how much they mean to you (as he had just lost a close friend). I will be back to help support this local business and all the good they have in their heart and share with others! ...(and order the "Dearest David" sandwich - yum!)“

“Wonderful scones! I had blackberry scone and it was so delicious!“

“We had so much fun yesterday afternoon hanging out at Mary’s Burritos! The food was amazing! The topper was getting to sing karaoke with the owner!! We hope to come back soon.“

“Food was excellent. I have never heard of a non-profit restaurant. What a great idea. They were very busy for lunch after eating there I can see why. They have a thrift store next door that also benefits their cause. We walked over there after we ate and bought a few things.“

“Food is great. Service is good. but your going to spend a $100 for 2“

“Sooooo good!! very friendly“

“I love coming here with friends. The atmosphere is incredible and the live music is always good. Drinks are affordable and they have food which is amazing. I definitely recommend checking this place out. This business really stepped up during Helene and it still continues to do so.“

“My sister and I feel like we struck gold on Seventh Avenue. The food, service, staff the best all around. You can look till the cows come home but you can't find the epitome of good country cooking anywhere else. My Grandmoma died in 1993 and my Moma in 2013, never thought I would have good country home cooking like theirs ever again...until 6-29-22. Felt like I was home. My new favorite restaurant in WNC...and I live here.“

“LOVE DRY FALLS! Father/son brewers, lovely bartenders, AMAZING variety. Along your traditional brews they offer a variety of sours, seltzers and NA beers. Food trucks daily and weekly events like live music, trivia (but totally blanking on what they call it... Not your traditional style of trivia) and music bingo. Also able to buy a beer for service workers, first responder, UTILITY WORKERS, teachers, etc. so you can "pay it forward". Dog friendly. 10/10, one of my favorite places in Hendo!!“

“So proud of the new owners! They have kept the same wonderful menu, but are cleaning up the place. New paint job, flooring, music, etc. We hear that the ceiling is next, wow! Blue Sky is AWESOME �“

“Once again she outdoes herself. This place is the best I live an hour away but try to come every chance I can. The falafel is the best I've ever had in my life. We are looking forward to doing a cooking class when she is available

“We were seeking a nice place for drinks and appetizer so decided to check out the Jordan Street Cafe. On a Sunday night it was one of just a couple of restaurants opened in downtown Brevard. It is on Jordan Street with a Public Parking lot across the street. The restaurant offers inside dining, a bar/lounge area and a patio. We sat at the bar and enjoyed our wine and beer along with their Rainbow Trout Fish Spread. The Fish Spread has melted cheese on top and is served in a homemade bread bowl with toasted pieces of bread. It is very good. The bread is made daily so it was very fresh. The bartender was most helpful and friendly. You order at the counter in the venue you choose to dine in. Since we were sitting at the bar it was very simple. Once you order you get a number with food served as it is ready. For our casual evening it was perfect and relaxing. A quiet night at the cafe.“

“Great burgers and beers. Chicken sandwich is also tasty“

“My dad and I eat at the diner at least twice a week. The food is always good. The wait staff is always good. We love this place! My only complaint is that one of the Owners is an Alabama fan, but their is no accounting for taste. GO GATORS! ?“

“We are in town on vacation and stopped in for pizza. My mushroom and his chicken BBQ were fantastic ! Excellent sauce and dough. Delicious !“

“Great pizza served by great people at a great price! Can’t ask for more than that! Enjoyed my first visit and will definitely return!“

“I might call it a really freakin' good pizza co. Even a great pizza company. Buy the size and get your pick of toppings. Service was friendly and pleasant. Pizza was ready right on time for pick-up as I walked in. Will definitely go again.“

“Great food and excellent service!“

“Great food and wait staff“

“Family owned and operated. wonderful food, brews and entertainment. My sister and I are from NYS and heard about this place and went (this was, of course, pre-hurricane). Maddy made us feel so welcome! Loved it there. The vibe is great!“

“Great place, lots of great beer and great venue for music/bands rain or shine. They have a big stage outside and a smaller one inside. Dog friendly too. Try the Black Bear on tap, if you like darker beer that one is great. Saw the Trophy Husbands band play there and they were awesome! Don't miss! Pizza food truck that night was too pricy but still good.“

“Good burgers. Friendly staff. Nice place“

“I'm visiting from SC. First time here! Cool place and friendly staff! Please support our NC Mountains! NC Strong! ❤️“

“We stumbled across Big Mike’s when looking for a place that our family could all find something each of us liked. This was fantastic! Delicious wings, pizza and Stromboli. Our server was both efficient and kind. Great experience!“

“First time here and was not at all disappointed! Great food and a variety of food to choose from. Win win…. Beers were cold and a good selection to choose from. Great relaxing atmosphere. Will definitely be back and spend more time enjoying the grounds….“

“Great service and the food was good too!“

“Great omelets!! My fave place to eat.“

“I've lived in Pisgah Forest all my life and this is without a doubt my favorite Mexican restaurant. Now that could be bias and probably is but I always enjoy the food and the service is great. They are very friendly and always happy to help with whatever you need. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Great cheap food. Best biscuit I've ever had at a restaurant.... Bacon was a bit salty but that is a matter of personal preference I'm sure. Other than that great biscuits, but the hash bites are not good. Still overall very great place for the price.“

“My favorite Mexican Restaurant!! Staff, food, atmosphere...family owned and operated...I go there at least 2 to 3 times a month... love it!“

“The food was awesome - perfectly seasoned and expertly prepared. Our server was capable of handling our large group without difficulty. This is definitely a restaurant worth visiting again and again.“

“The staff is always so friendly and the food is always good. It’s my favorite place to eat.“

“Not usually a sport bar person but I feel safe and welcomed here when dining alone or at the bar. Great value / portions for the price. The menu has much more to offer than other sports bars and the custom mocktails are delicious! 🩷“

“Quick service, food is delicious, good sake options. The parking lot is either too small or it's not being watched for people parking and walking downtown Hendersonville. It was full and we were lucky someone was leaving so we could park. Been here twice though, once for lunch and once for dinner and enjoyed it.“

“Our first time here. What a great place. The beer was excellent especially the Oktoberfest beer. Very refreshing on the backside. Great friendly patrons! I didn't get the beertender 's name but even with the White Squirrel Festival going on he did a great job working all by himself. He still made social contact with every one and was very friendly!“

“Shout out to Dixie Diner in Hendersonville! My Egg White Omelette was filled to the brim with Goat Cheese and Mushrooms. The mushrooms were nice large slices with a perfect amount of goat cheese. Expertly created by Chef McKenzie at the Dixie Diner in Hendersonville, NC. My English Muffin was toasted to perfection. The girl has talent! It was absolutely AMAZING! I ate it slow so I could relish every single bite. Today, Hayley was our waitress extraordinaire. We enjoy having our Sunday breakfast at Dixie. Their food is always cooked just right with picture perfect presentation. You definitely eat with your eyes first at Dixie. The entire staff knows what they are doing and they put a lot of care into their food and service. Dixie truly cares about their customers. You become their family when you have breakfast or lunch at Dixie. Very welcoming and sincere. It definitely takes a village to make a restaurant great. Kudos to everyone and to Ken, the owner, for having amazing staff….Chef Max, Hannah, Chef Taylor, McKenzie, Reba, Hayley, Donna, Kelsey, Chef James and everyone else on staff. Dixie also caters! #dixiediner — at Dixie Diner.“
