“While trying to find a spot for lunch on New Year's Eve, we decided to eat here since the menu had a lot of variety. Actually eating there was great - the restaurant was cozy and we sat by the wood burning fireplace. The proprietress was so friendly and had a fun conversation about her father and Greece. Food was generously portioned and very tasty. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll definitely come back.“

“Excellent!! We had a party of 4 and tried 6 different “small plates” and shared. They were ALL delicious!! The service was excellent and everyone so friendly and helpful!!“

“I do not know what culinary sorcery they have used for their pancakes with vanilla bean syrup but l am here for it. Those are the best pancakes I have had in my 50 years of life. The sausage patties, the biscuits and gravy, the holiday mimosas, and the service was unbelievable. Everyone was so friendly and you can tell they all work as a team. We will be back again....and again...and again. :)“

The place has that perfect mix of local charm and fun energy. Jessie makes the experience even better—always welcoming, attentive, and genuinely great at making everyone feel at home.

The ribs came smothered with the classic bbq sauce he reported they were tender and tasty the Mac was everything you want in a Mac and cheese, creamy and cheesy!! I ordered the salad bar which was full of variety and the potato salad they had is one of the best I’ve had in a while! The manager miss Mandy came and checked in on our table and was very personable! Can’t wait to come back soon!!“

“We love our outings to Creekside - Georgia loves the chicken and fries and I had buffalo wings this time which I really enjoyed. I usually get the salad with smoked chicken and its my all time favorite. The staff are great and the atmosphere is cozy. So if you are looking for a great place to eat, with a good atmosphere and great eats - Creekside is my favorite place in East Asheville.“

“Came here for the kids play area. They have a sand pit with kids construction type trucks for the kids to scoop and play. Got some draft beers to sit and hang out after a hike while the kids burn off energy. The kids did not tire of this area and it was well kept and clean. Also ordered the fries, which are delicious but made with beef tallow.“

“Rocky’s came Highly recommended from Emma, at the tasting room Eda Ryne. The very best food we have eaten in a LONG time!! The fried green tomatoes with pepper jelly and goat. Cheese were the Best Ever, along with the Medium fried chicken! I'll be telling everyone I know that visits the Biltmore, to stop here for lunch/ dinner!“

“My friends and I ate here during our visit to Asheville in August 2024 and I can’t stop thinking about it. It was so good! I cannot wait to have another opportunity to go back“

“I want to give a huge shout out to our server Alex H! Not only was the food and service excellent, but Alex went above and beyond when my sister had a fainting spell in the restaurant. He quickly brought her a cold rag with ice and chocolate chips to help her blood sugar. He was very understanding and caring and kept checking back to make sure she was ok. We just wanted to make sure he knows how appreciated he was today. Thank you Alex!“

“Our usual go-to for breakfast when out of town. Each one is a different experience and we did find the expected friendly service and good food here.“

“Nice Cracker Barrel with great service“

“By far the best butcher shop in Buncombe County! Fresh meat, locally sourced, premium cuts, amazing service, kind and knowledgeable staff and worth visiting Blk Mtn for! I drive 45 mins from Haywood county just to come here if that tells you anything.“

“Celebrating New Years Eve. Every dish was excellent. SHRIMP and Grits were goat cheese forward and quite spicy if you love that. Being a 'Georgia girl', the original fried chicken was truly "finger licking good". The staff was very personably and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Try it. You won't regret it. Casual, but tasteful ambiance.“

“Well, we had an amazing server very diligent on top of everything. Food was amazing. Got the ribeye and yes, it was absolutely amazing. The 6 ounce ribeye with a sweet potato with cinnamon and butter, and a salad asked for it to be cooked rare and it was perfect, which is very unusual that they get it perfect most places end up doing it medium rare we highly recommend the Longhorn steakhouse. It’s amazing food great atmosphere amazing staff.“

“The Cheshire Arms just opened in the village of Cheshire in Black Mountain. It’s a British Pub with a stellar menu accommodating vegan, gluten free, and dairy free options as well as a wide variety of beers, cocktails, and wines. Prepare to be pleased! It’s in the old Black Bear Tavern building at 10 Market Street.“

“We stopped by there today on Christmas and they were opening at 3! so we waited 15 more mins it was 2:45 then. When I tell you we had the food and dining experience at the bar. The young lady working was awesome happy friendly and full of energy. Thank you for opening today to feed others and leave your home and family. When we come back that way we will definitely eat there again“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“Great food, great service, clean & friendly.. I don’t think they’ve ever had a brawl at this location, but I could be wrong.“

“I just had a hot dog from there and, at best, it was a "5". Bun was kind of hard. Cole Slaw was OK, but not what I expected. I prefer an all-beef hot dog, vs pork, which I don't think one is offered at French Fries. I prefer French Fries, as I live close by, but the drive to Hendersonville, and Hot Dog World, and an all-beef frank is a solid '10". French Fries, fries, are better when you get them fresh, but that doesn't always happen. I would recommend the ownership &/or management visit Hot World. Price at Hot Dog World is a nickel cheaper, too. They also offer a footlong, and a hot dog two to three times bigger than their conventional hot dog. Best of Luck.“

“Small and quaint; clean and calm old school place, a house turned into a Tavern. The staff was friendly. We did not eat so cannot rate the food but what food was prepared smelled delicious, we had a soda from a can.
We were able to play pool without interruptions. The pool table is coin operated.“

“always very kind and great food.“

“It’s not often I run into management that truly embodies what a manager should be. Tonight, Monica, went above and beyond to deliver exceptional customer service ensuring my party had a truly remarkable experience. She’s truly impressive, I had the pleasure of watching her work hand in hand alongside her staff.“

“This was an extremely busy restaurant on Christmas Day so I'm just grateful and thankful that they were open and that we were able to go have a meal and the food was actually very excellent and I was impressed so I would highly recommend this IHOP to anyone who is traveling or stopping through near the airport stop in and grab a bite because they're there for you all the time!“

“Reopened after hurricane Helene. The food is still excellent. The decor repaired and replaced as needed. You would never know of the water damage if you didn't live here. Glad to see one of the better restaurants is back open and it's former self.“

“Busy place!! We're servers 1st off, so we understand. We ordered steaks, duh. Filet and ribeye. (MR) Came out blue rare. Sent them back and got same steaks, flashed and now rare. We decided to eat them because we were starving... Poor form for a "steakhouse". Everything else was GREAT, including our waitress!! (Who we tipped 20+% Not her fault you have someone who can't cook meat.) Lol. I recommend the filet. Tasty even rare!!“

“This IHOP restaurant was one of the cleanest I have seen in quite a while. The noise level was very very low and the atmosphere was overall very cheerful. Alex was my server and she was extremely polite and very knowledgeable. She kept my coffee pot full and brought my food out in the very timely manner. The food was very delicious. I will definitely be going back there again.“

“They must have upped their game a bit because everything was actually pretty good this time. The chips n salsa chips were fresh and crispy and salty like they should be. Burger was good, some new items on the menu and most importantly, they seemed to be staffed somewhat as the entire restaurant was open.“
