“We stopped here for a bite to eat after visiting Catawba Falls. I got the western burger which had BBQ sauce and an onion ring on it. Burger was sooooo good. Tasted like a good backyard grilled burger.”

“They are not busy since the window tint makes the place look like it's closed. It's attached to a gas station. Got our food really quick, drive through service. Staff at window was super polite and nice.”

“Clarissa did an amazing job! She was prompt, clean, and a hard worker. She changed her gloves. She helped in the front and the back. She was personable and warm. We had a great experience. The food was hot and fresh!”

“Super convenient location, especially if you are going east bound on I-40. Friendly folks working here, but kinda disorganized. Restaurant was not busy, yet i waited several minutes for my ice coffee to be prepared. While I was waiting, a drive-thru customer had drove back around to the window to complain about incorrect food order. Hopefully a one off ordeal. I must say, my overall experience was positive. My cold coffee was made correctly, and not prepared in a messy manner. I live on McCafe, it's a fraction cheaper than your typical coffee chain, and just as good. I can't count the times that I've been handed a sticky cup, whip cream or cold foam oozing from the lid, or lid barely attached to the cup. First time stopping at this location, and they did a great job presenting me my drink. I will stop here again!”

“Yall. Simply the best pastries and coffee I’ve had in quite some time! Went to Black Mountain to celebrate my birthday with my daughter & sister. We ordered one of every pastry and had a taste test of 3 items and took home the rest. THEY WERE AMAZING!! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, the staff friendly and attentive, and the pastries tasted like they came from a French pastry shop. Will definitely be back soon!”

“Employees are friendly and cheerful. Chef accommodates special requests. We had salmon cakes, hamburgers, Curry bowl, wings, and fresh fish of the day... all well prepared and delicious. The live farm animals are precious..will be back..thanks Mark and Kim!”

“Amazing breakfast one of the best I've ever had🙌🙌 Will be back when traveling to or through Asheville area. Great food and great service and dog friendly on the porch which was great. Everyone in our party was equally impressed and enjoyed😋”

“Always SO delicious!”

“We came in from out of town to relax and have a drink. I ordered coffee and my wife ordered a martini. We didn’t know that you weren’t able to have alcohol outside (although someone at another table had a martini as well). We had our dogs with us and we apologized profusely when the bar manager Victoria came outside and mentioned it. As we were gathering our things, we could hear her inside talking about how she’s tired of this “sh*t” , telling patrons at the bar. Initially we ignored it since we were trying to have a relaxing time in a new town. She kept on so I went in and asked if she was talking about us loud enough to where we can hear her outside! She apologized and said there are signs on the tables. First of all, there was one sign on a table that was written on what looked like a piece of paper and you could barely read the words. There was NO sign on our table and she said people take them off. I don’t like people insinuating that I’m doing something I didn’t do. We paid a 30 percent gratuity for the service we received and this is the treatment your customers receive?! Unbelievable! I told her it’s probably not in her best interest to insult and berate customers that are spending their hard earned money in your town.”

“Great little place with a better than average selection of beer and wine and a great food truck. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable”

“First visit tonight. Sat upstairs outside. Incredible attentive service from everyone we talked to. The food was delicious and described perfectly. Can’t wait to return and try some other dishes.”

“I wanted to give a huge shout-out to the team at the Dripolator on Tunnel Road for being such incredible community partners. We recently collaborated with them for our Golden Egg Hunt, and they went above and beyond to help make it a success! They were egg-perts at hiding one of our prize eggs. It’s rare to find a local spot that is as dedicated to community engagement as it is to brewing a perfect cup of coffee. Speaking of which—if you haven't tried their seasonal lattes or fresh baked goods, you are seriously missing out. 🥐”

“Cozy dining room, delicious food, and attentive service. Great wine selection—we loved our meal and can’t wait to come back!”

“Definitely make Black Mountain Bistro your next lunch/dinner spot. We ate 2 meals there in one day because it was so good. Fried pickles, pretzel bites, chicken tenders, ribeye steak and crab cakes we all so good! Ask for Sarah to be your server. The sweetest person!”

“The best pizza and cheesy garlic bread. Even worth a 2.5 hour drive. Elizabeth was phenomenal!!! Can’t wait to come back!”

“Vibes ✨🍺. I've really enjoyed all the beers I've had there over the last few years. I'm in town a few times a year to visit family but I always make time for a pint here. I'm not the kind of person that needs to meet people everywhere I go, but I always end up in a conversation with someone there and it's always enjoyable. There are a lot of lovely places to go in town, but I really like coming back here. I hope the city reconsiders working something out with them over the patio drama.”

“the service is amazing, the staff are amazing especially bartender Allison, the food is great and the drinks are spot on. the atmosphere is fun and friendly. 5 stars all around. we go there almost weekly. must get the mussels and the fries are to die for....”
