I usually get the salad with smoked chicken and its my all time favorite. The staff are great and the atmosphere is cozy.

“When you walk up to this snack bar in the foothills of Black Mountain, you just don't know what you're in for... It looks like a typical place with typical food, but it is not... It is fun and it is friendly and it is fabulous!! We got the Foothills Burger and the Carolina Dog with a basket of fries. We asked for the burger and dog cut in half to share. I don't know what kind of hot dog that was, but it was so good!! The casing snaps when you bite into it and the toppings, holy cow!! YUM! Then, onto the burger! It had a slight crunch on the edges that were heavenly!! It was so, so tasty!! The fries were perfectly fried, soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside, and complete salty goodness!! I will drive the 1 1/2 hours just to get this same exact meal all over again!!! Take the trip, make the drive, get the food!! You won't regret it!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Nice Cracker Barrel with great service“

“always very kind and great food.“

“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.“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“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.“

“Amazing service, incredible food (highly recommend their original fried chicken with the seasoning, collard bacon greens, and the sweet potato pancakes (holyyyyy shi that was amazing)). Go to the Hendersonville location, way less busy than downtown! Will 10000% be back“

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

“Longhorn restaurants never let us down. We visited this restaurant, on mothers day evening, travelling from U.K. and were welcomed by our server, Kevin. He went above and beyond with his exceptional service and kept us entertained with his tales of British music artists. Nothing was to much trouble for him. Many thanks and keep up your excellent work . You are truly five star !!!“

“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“

“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!!“

“Incredible food, incredible service, absolutely no notes. We made a reservation for 5 and then my brother surprised me for my engagement. The hosts and team were incredibly accommodating adding 3 people to our party in a difficult situation during their busiest time of the year. My hats off to all of them!“

“pretty much standard of what you'd expect if youve ever been to an IHOP. . . .standard, basic, safe breakfast fare served quickly in a simple but basically clean setting.

Kid-friendliness: yes definitely
