50 Best American Restaurants near Mills River

“Amazing barbecue! Coming from a champion barbecue family we take our barbecue super serious. It’s so nice to go to a restaurant that outshines what we can do at home.“

“Always welcoming as soon as you're in the door. Everyone is friendly and helpful. I ordered the fried oysters and flounder. They were beautifully cooked, nicely breaded and served hot. Same goes for the fried okra. Delicious 😋! The atmosphere was great - quiet and clean. Lots of seating options, plenty of room for groups or just to spread out. My waitress was very attentive and I wanted for nothing. They have great breakfasts, too!“

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

“We had dinner here last night after a movie. I honestly don't think I've ever had better service in my 70 years! We had at least 4 people working with us from the main server, main cocktail person and several others. Each was inquisitive about us and acted as if we were their only table. The food was awesome. Best cornbread ever! I had ribs which were delicious and I supstituted the sides with no problem. My husband had crabcakes which were authentic Maryland style with no fillers and lots of crab. The drinks, an Old Fashioned and Manhattan, were some of the best I've had and I consider myself an Old Fashioned connoisseur! The prices are high but no higher than other restaurants. We are locals and HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“Excellent Food, Service and Athmophere!“

“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.

“The Sierra Nevada brewery is awesome! First off the facility is absolutely fantastic. It’s large but the building and the entire campus are immaculately clean & well kept. It still looks brand new. The tour itself was excellent providing great historical content & insight into their state of the art current operations. Following up the tour with a visit to the Taproom restaurant is a must. The food is phenomenal & the service is top notch. Finally, it was so enjoyable to finish the day with a beer on the patio. I give the Sierra Nevada brewery tour & Taproom my highest recommendation. Can’t wait to take other friends for a visit.“

“The food here is outrageous! My family and I ate at Kimmy's, and we ordered a variety of different things so that we could all taste some of each other's order. Every single main and side were so flavorful! Really exceptionally made. You can tell that the food was really well thought out and executed extremely well. The burger is especially great! Kimmy uses locally sourced meat from the Etowah Meat Depot, so the meat is extremely fresh. The prices are fantastic too! Give this place a try! You will not be disappointed!“

“Excellent food from friendly staff served in a cozy, and warm atmosphere.“

“We LOVE Mike's. They literally helped us set up an impromptu wedding after our plans kicked the bucket. The staff is always super nice, helpful, easy to talk to. Love that they're doggo friendly on their front patio area. Menu is tasty and reasonably priced, sundaes are legitimately the best ever (real fruit, yay!). Favorite diner for life!“

“Recently visited Zeke’s and had the braised short ribs on a bed on risotto with carrots, celery and a side of garlic spinach and yellow squash. The dish was fresh and delicious. Although I believe short ribs are supposed to be served on the bone. The dish was still very good. Very tender meat and excellent presentation. The spinach and garlic was outstanding and would have made a great meal all on its own. Highly highly recommended! Their Prime Rib on Friday along with their fried pickles are amazing!!“

“An amazing place with amazing people. My family ran our reunion here twice with a lovely time had by all both times. Highly recommended.“

“The burgers and our service were amazing“

“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.“

“Flat Rock Cinema is one of those places that makes a town feel like a town. We come here for movies, for live music and for comedy, and it's rare to find one room that does all three well, let alone one that feels this good to walk into.

The popcorn absolutely earns its world famous reputation, and the drink selection goes well past anything you'd expect from a theater.

What we appreciate most is that somebody clearly cares about this place. You can feel it in how it's run and in how people get treated the minute they come through the door. Independent theaters don't survive by accident, and this town is lucky to have this one.“

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

“My daughter and I stopped in Mt pleasant location today for the first time ! It was yummy ! Can’t wait to go back ! The pork belly was off the chain !“

“Great sandwiches friendly staff.“

“5/5 recommend this spot! Jesse’s service is amazing and I can’t wait to go back. Thank you for being so amazing!“

“I am a local to the area and Flat Rock Village Bakery is my favorite local bakery in town. The food is delicious, local (which you don't find a lot), and the staff is 10 out of 10. They are all so sweet and friendly! I stop for coffee almost daily! If you're local or just here on vacation it is definitely somewhere you should think about stopping!“

“My daughter and I enjoyed our dining experience. We had an issue and the staff immediately took care of it and went above and beyond. Our sever Sheldon was fantastic and made us feel welcome. We will be back.“

“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.“

“The best cafe in Hendersonville and with a big heart! The food is excellent and helping the shelter is positive.“

“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 👌“

“My husband and I have been here several times for an event with a club. Today for the first time, we stopped by for lunch. We were not disappointed. The service was great. Our food was amazing. The entire experience was worth the drive out. If you haven't dined in, be sure you do. We will certainly be back.“

“We had a great experience at Hickory Tavern, and our waitress was the highlight of our visit! She was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome. We really appreciated the care she put into making sure we had an enjoyable evening. Great service makes all the difference, and she deserves recognition for hers. We’ll definitely be back!“

“We have always loved Hannah’s. I’ve noticed an influx of misguided reviews. The waitstaff has always been top notch, and I can’t brag enough on the service and the management“

“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.“

“Had a great Saturday lunch at First Watch in Arden with a group of five. The service was amazing from start to finish, with great attention to detail and a team that really made us feel taken care of.

I started with the Morning Meditation drink with ginger, orange, lemon, and turmeric—it was a refreshing way to kick things off. I ordered the special maple bacon croissant sandwich, and it did not disappoint. The bacon jam was literally oozing out of the sandwich, and I absolutely loved it!

Great food, excellent service, and a really enjoyable experience. Definitely a spot I’d come back to.“

“This place is great! Great bartender, great bar and I just had a Philly cheesesteak with jalapeños that was off the chain!!! Spicy and delicious. Been all over and lived in Colorado for 35 plus years with great Mexican fare - this the best quesadilla I have ever had…..says the 61 year old man…washed down with $3 bottles of yuengling.“
