10 Best American Restaurants near Mars Hill

“Little Creek Cafe is a hidden gem. The place has a rustic charm on the outside and feels amazing once you step inside. We had a great breakfast with delicious food and coffee. One standout was their homemade orange jam, it was incredibly tasty and something we’d love to buy if they ever decide to sell it. Next time, we’ll definitely call ahead and ask if they can make a little extra. A lovely spot we’d happily return to!“

“It been a really good place to eat till today and it was still good but the order was not what i ask for the to do it was even printed on the ticket to put the chicken in one box and the tater tots in another box instead they put one order of chicken tendes in a brown paper bag on top of the tater tots and put the second order of chicken tendes in another brown paper bag on top of French fries so i was extremely disappointed with the service today and I had ate their a lot I let it slide this time“

“We were up in Mars Hill to have a lookie-loo, and sadly there were not many restaurants open - most seem to open at night. We drove past the Wagon Wheel, but I nixed the idea as I am a bit tired of country cooking. We were maybe 5 miles heading back to Asheville, and hubs was looking at the menu. Well we ended up doing a U-ie!

Place was busy! Lots of locals who all know one another it seems. It also seems that many of them eat there every day! We were NOT disappointed. Our server Caitlin was fantastic. I had the Philly cheesesteak with fries and it was yummy. Arnold Palmer was on point. Hubs went cuckoo! He had the meatloaf special. Meatloaf was good, but the mashed taters and gravy were delicious. Turnip greens were excellent as was the fried okra and fried yellow squash. We got some of their tortilla chicken soup to go - will be for dinner tomorrow.

All in all, it was an excellent meal. Came in around $24 for the two of us. Highly recommend.“

“Great service and excellent food !!! Ashley was our sever and she was awesome. The Bistro Burger and fries was off the hook and the General Tso wings were uniquely good . Definitely will be back !!!“

“Great food, service, & beer selection! The fried pepperoni & cheese curds were delicious. My wife liked the firecracker shrimp Alfredo, but said it had some spice. The Greek platter was amazing as well. I got the combination to try both the lamb & chicken. The chicken tasted like souvlaki & was good, but I favored the lamb. I typically would order an old fashioned, but they did not have large blocks of ice. Given what Helene’s impact on western NC, I was happy to see this restaurant thriving & folks in good spirit. This place is a gem for the community, and I highly recommend.“

“Tommys is one of those places owned by locals, visited by locals. Cooking by the owner. Great wait staff. Meat and three sides served in separate small bowls. Choose the 3 you want from the list of 12. Always a doggie bag. Rib eye and prime rib (usually) cooked just right and the size of the dinner plate. $22. Less than buying just the raw meat. And good! Always 1 or 2 meals of leftover. Eat with the locals in this little old fashion boothed place. Greek and italian. Good spanakopita. Great Baklava.“

“I had breakfast; two eggs over-medium, bacon, Grits, toast, and coffee. The food was cooked to order, hot, and delicious at a good price. The staff were attentive and pleasant, and the atmosphere was enjoyable. Check it out if you haven't already, and I will look forward to eating there again.“

“Nice cozy atmosphere. Food was good, but found prices were well above the quality. I can fix a ribeye at home far superior to theirs. We had a $75 gift certificate which only paid for half of our meal. Never paid $18 for a small portion (seemed like half a glass) of wine. Parking is a challenge.“

“Friendly staff, great choices off the wall menu. The inspection rating was 97.5. Browse the walls and collect local and family history. Highly recommend if you enjoy comfort food.“

“We stopped here for breakfast at apx 11 am this morning, 07/07/23. We sat at the counter due to all seats being taken, busy place. Service was great, food was excellent, staff were all friendly and helpful and the camaraderie among them was easy and comfortable . The two 'grillmasters 'Bob' and ? sorry I forgot to ask her name ..were amazing to watch. 8 plates up and no tickets, mind boggling. Breakfast was an enjoyable experience. we will make this a regular stop on travels. The Priddy of Danville KY Five ⭐ ⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐“
