“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!!“

It’s a British Pub with a stellar menu accommodating vegan, gluten free, and dairy free options as well as a wide variety of beers, cocktails, and wines. Prepare to be pleased!

“Amazing butcher shop!
Has multiple options & cuts of beef, pork, poultry, sausage, sandwich meats, cheeses, spices, etc.

Bought 4 flat iron steaks, & a quart of beef bone broth.
See photos & videos for how amazing these turned out. So tender and moist, farmers are incredible.

One of the butchers, Meg helped me and is super sweet and kind. Upon request, she offered recommendations on how to prepare & cook flank steaks.

Easy mobile wallet checkout via square.

Visit foothills grange for fresh smash burgers!

Try the sub sandwiches as well for something to go. I typically eat half now and save other half for later.

Options: Roast beef, pastrami, brisket, veggies. See menu board.

“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.“

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

“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.“

“always very kind and great food.“

“We had lunch today. Food was great! They are under new ownership. Stop by and eat, you won’t be disappointed!!“

“Had the fried chicken sandwich with the serano honey (on the side - it's spicy) . Chicken was perfect...juicy and tender, breading was crunchy and very flavorful. Ordered the side of crunchy potatoes. They were great! Lovely server (Ann?) sorry not sure of name). Very nice Sunday brunch location.“

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

“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“
