“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.“

“Have been eating at j&s for years, drove over today from Rockford, Tenn not disappointed, wish would come to Knoxville“

“Came in during the middle of a lunch rush, and was seated with the black guy, he was very rude the whole time and forgot we existed along with every one around us, I asked a different server to get his attention several times just so we could even pay our ticket to leave this awful dining experience, he then yelled at the young lady and I heard him cussing at several other employees. I am appalled by this behavior and definitely hope I never have him ever again- that is if I even return.“

“Had probably the freshest roast beef sandwich ever last week at Zella’s The staff and owner couldn’t be nicer and the atmosphere was llively and friendly A great place for lunch!“

“Super tasty food & drinks with a family-friendly environment. Gluten-free friendly! Ask for a GF bun and GF fryer for the tallow fries (yes!! They fry in tallow instead of nasty seed oils!!). Already want to go back. Hubby enjoyed a beer and there was a GF alcoholic ginger beer on tap. Mmmm.“

“I've been visiting the Red Rocker Inn for years now. I've seen the changes it's gone through and I can honestly say, it just keeps getting better & better!😍“

“I had the pleasure of getting to visit the Blue Sky food truck today at The Blueridge Beer Garden. Firstly, the service *chefs kiss* It looked like it was just one man doing it all and he was just killing it on all sides. I got the burger with cheese and a side of onion rings, and he even threw in some fries because he felt like the onion ring amount wasnt up to his standards (I came in towards the end and got the last order) which is something I commend on the chef for doing. Everything I ate was phenomenal! 100% will recommend to anyone wanting quality, quantity, and just good ole kindness in there life.“

“great Krewe, touchtunes, good times, beware of the pool sharks, East Asheville's best meeting grounds“

“great onion rings and the burgers were juicy and big 🙌🏼🤤“

“Burgers are delicious and fries are amazing. Can't wait to try some other items on the menu. Nice atmosphere great service.“

“I’m giving lots and the store 5 starts as they had a huge 30 person group come in right before we came in. We were told about this and since we didn’t need to be anywhere we stayed. We got our apps quickly and then waited for 40 minutes + for our food. Since Lalita our waitress saw that we had been waiting so long she went to management and got our meals for free. She was the best“

“I had a wonder experience. From ordering the food. It was delicious 😋 Then we had shakes , which were delicious as well. I would highly recommend CULVER'S 👌“

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“

“super gooooooood fried mushrooms are the bomb“

“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.“

“Phenomenal food, awesome atmosphere, amazing service! 10/10. Highly recommend!!!“

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

“You know how sometimes you go out to eat and it just feels… routine? This wasn’t that. Christopher completely changed the experience. He didn’t just “check on us” — he actually connected with us. The kind of server who remembers you’re there, not just your order. He joked with us, kept things light, and made it feel like we were regulars even though we weren’t. What stood out most was how natural it all felt. Nothing forced, nothing scripted — just genuine, down-to-earth service that you don’t see much anymore. He was attentive without hovering, friendly without being over the top, and just real. The food was great, but honestly, Christopher is the reason we’ll be back. That kind of personality turns a meal into an experience. Give that man some recognition — he’s doing it right.“

“We had a great dinner and an awesome server! Thank you so much!!“

“NY Strips an the Spicewalla rubs!!!“

“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.“

“Betsy was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. She checked on us at just the right times, kept everything moving smoothly, and genuinely made us feel welcome. Great service can make such a difference, and Betsy definitely made our visit to IHOP a great experience. She’s an excellent server and deserves recognition for the outstanding job she does. Thank you, Betsy!“

“I had the 10 oz chopped steak with mushroom and onion garlic sauce. A jacket potato and side salad. Everything was flavorful, freshly prepared using fresh, not frozen ingredients. Wonderful staff in a well-maintained, well-decorated dining area. All at a reasonable price point.“

“This was my first time to this restaurant. Many of my friends have been regulars and encouraged me to go. It was fantastic. The service was wonderful, the food
was great!!! We got the bacon cheeseburgers. The burgers were thick and juicy, just like back in the day on my grill. I will definitely be a regular now😋“

“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!!“

“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.“
