Restaurants near Woodfin

“Absolutely one of the best brisket we ever have! I’m so glad we had the opportunity to visit this place. The brisket was melt-in-your-mouth tender, smoky, and full of flavor. You can tell they put real care and passion into their barbecue. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was relaxed, and everything tasted homemade and authentic. If you’re anywhere near Asheville, you have to try their brisket ! #AshevilleEats #BBQLovers #BrisketPerfection”

“Ashley & Travis are doing some wonderful stuff in little unassuming Woodfin (the old Ference Cheese Shop) and they're expanding. The food I brought to a dinner party was a gigantic hit. And the menu changes daily; finally a true chef driven market experience! Bravo!”

“We love this brewery! The beer is delicious, as is the food. The wide open space next to river is inviting for people and dogs of all ages. We always enjoy spending an afternoon there!”

“Great BBQ! I highly recommend eating here!”

“I grabbed the master bbq sampler to share with my boyfriend, it was delicious! 1000% so good.”

“Excellent Pizza...Will be back”

“love there pizza and you cant get unlimited toppings”

“My husband and I love the Village Porch. Airy is amazing behind the bar, best dirty martini 🍸 in town. She makes us feel so warm and welcome. We go to watch football, but we stop in often. Our favorite local spot!”

“We ate at the new location on Reynolds Mtn tonight. Best Pork Fried Rice I’ve ever had. The Shrimp egg rolls were delicious as well. Also ordered cheese ragoons and pork pan fried dumplings. Everything was delicious and we will be back soon. Thank you for coming to the north side of town.”

“Fried chicken, as long as you pull off the batter, is fine on keto and that's what we did here this evening. A quick two piece meal - breast and leg - with no side because I've learned from my nutritionist that the cole slaw is NOT a keto compliant side. It has so much sugar, it might as well be dessert!

Anyway, the chicken was hot and we did have to wait a bit for it too cool off so I could remove the batter. And then it was quite tasty. A little hot sauce and that was a good meal.”

“Absolutely delicious. Got the omelet and the French toast and it was phenomenal”

“Happy hour: 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm M - F
If you love beer or cocktails and you need an early dinner, this is a great happy hour. You can get a huge chicken sandwich that tastes high quality for $9 or a delicious burger for $12. Drinks range from $3 - $10. They have plenty of cocktail and beer options during the happy hour as well. The only thing I wish they did was a red and white house wine with the happy hour menu as well. Other than that this is perfect for people who want a fancy delicious experience without the high price tag.

The happy hour definitely made me want to come back for the full dinner menu! I will 100000% be back.”

“Wow, so good! All of the arepas were delicious. We also had the fries plantains and the flan; both amazing. Lots of gluten free options! The patio area is pretty small, but everyone who came was able to find seating. Many people were taking their orders to go.”

“Hands down the best food I've had in the southeast in my 30 years living here. We will absolutely be back!”

“We were highly impressed with our first visit to Tall John’s! We had the Bravette Steak and Duck, both cooked to perfection! The cocktails were equally unique and tasty! Cool Vibes & yummy food! Oh, and we both have a gluten issue and were accommodated easily! We will be back ❤️”

“Absolutely love this place 10/10 for sure”

“This review is long overdue! My spouse and I did dinner at Neng Jr’s recently and the radicchio salad and the noodles literally haunt my dreams because it is so good and i can’t wait to get back again to have it. They adobo oyster was fire too. We sat at the bar and the staff was incredibly attentive and kind. Overall it was an incredible experience.”

“Every single interaction we had at Limones was sincere, intentional, and well executed. We were greeted and given a place to wait in the lobby with an herbal seltzer. Our server Jamie was extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and gave eloquent, robust descriptions of the food as well as his recommendations we requested. We shared the lardo pizza - you should too. This is cellophane thin pork fat rendered just so to melt into incredible cheese and oven fired crust. I would go back for more this second. Every part of our meal exuded that impeccable attention to detail. A ravioli type pasta with ham cornbread and peas was the perfect Appalachian/Italian pairing. The tiramisu was thick, custardy, eggy in the lightest but creamiest way. The pistachio gelato with pistachio syrup was incredible. My only wish would’ve been to try one more dessert but we did make a 9:30 reservation so you roll the dice. That panna cotta sounded wonderful. I could not imagine anyone being less than thoroughly impressed with Limones. My husband was a chef for 20+ years and felt every aspect of a great meal was part of our meal there. 10/10 Limones.”

“Been a customer in 2007 and still in Love with the place.”

“Our first time eating at the rooftop restaurant and we are so glad we did. We had pizza-Margarita and the Meatball ricotta. Both delicious. Some shared the chicken wings and crass salad, both very good! Kyndall was our server and she was very attentive and friendly. Also had Affogato for dessert and it was so delicious. Would recommend for anyone.”

“My spouse and I ate here tonight and hands down our new favorite spot! Our server was amazing - very personable. We started with Samosas. For our entires we had Chicken Tikka Masala and Mom’s Chicken Curry with two orders of garlic naan bread. Hands down the best food we’ve ever had! If you get the Samosas, I recommend holding onto the two dipping sauces and dip the garlic naan in them! Chefs kiss 🙂 -Bailey and Payton (BP)”

“Never disappoints, always consistent service with amazing food. Our favorite Asheville restaurant.”

“We have visited once for dinner and once for breakfast and I have a tough time putting down my utensils. Dinner with 4 had tartar and mussels and calamari apps and all were perfect. I had the Gemelli pasta dish (gluten sensitive) and enjoyed the flavors. For breakfast I had the Benedict Hash. My mouth wants to marry that sauce. The steak and eggs were perfectly cooked, the sauce is bold with lemon and paprika and oh so delicious.”

“On Saturday, February 14th, I went downtown for a solo dinner at Huli Sue’s and quickly realized I had completely forgotten Billy Strings was in town for the weekend. Between Valentine’s Day and a sold-out show within walking distance, downtown was absolute chaos. Walking into Huli Sue’s, though, felt like stepping into a well-oiled machine. The hostess (I truly wish I had gotten her name) greeted everyone calmly and kept the flow of guests organized and welcoming. They were operating on a reservation system for the evening honestly genius given the circumstances. Even as a party of one, the wait was about an hour and a half, which I completely understood. Knowing I was craving their food, she suggested takeout. She even let me sit at the table where they roll silverware so I could look over the menu and wait for my roommate to text their order and never once made me feel rushed. While I waited, I watched her run the entrance like an absolute goddess. She was pleasant, efficient, and incredibly organized. Every table being notified was already set, down to water poured and ready. When guests arrived, she greeted them with genuine enthusiasm and walked them to their tables like they were honored guests. Downtown was a madhouse. People kept walking in without reservations, and she calmly explained the wait. When guests were understandably discouraged, she let them know they were accepting reservations for the 15th and I honestly didn’t hear a single person turn her down. She made everyone feel welcome. Despite the cold and the madness outside, the restaurant remained calm and peaceful inside. Even at full capacity, the volume stayed comfortable. The kitchen ran like an orchestra no yelling, no chaos, no stressed staff just teamwork and smiles. I wanted to take a moment to praise Huli Sue’s, their staff, and their phenomenal hostess. They handled what could have been an overwhelming night with grace and efficiency. They already had my business —but after that experience, I’ll make it a point to go even more often.”

“We’ve done takeout at Good Hot Fish before and enjoyed it. Had a friend who wanted seafood for her birthday so I suggest GHF since she’s been wanting to try it.

Our group ordered a variety of dishes and took them over to The Whale across the street to enjoy with some beers and wine.

This recent visit blew us all away. The Catfish sandwich was amazing! The 3 sides (collards, grits, potato salad) were all great as well. I tried some bologna trout, and wow was that delicious.

The sandwich and 3 sides were plenty of food to split with my husband.”

“Food was absolutely delicious. Cheese plate a vegan cheese lovers dream. Amazing service by Vic! She paid close mind to the nut allergy at our table and was very attentive and kind. Highly recommend for vegans and non vegans alike! Save room for dessert!!!”

“Fantastic food. Fantastic service. Lovely ambience in the space. It feels like the kitchen really cares about the food it brings out. One thing I particularly liked was how well all the dishes were seasoned. A bit of heat here, a bit of spice there, and a dash of sweet when needed. And speaking of sweet, the lemon curd cheesecake is a wonder. I love it when the cheesecake part of the cheesecake isn't oversweet. The lemon curd gives a sweet and tart compliment to the creaminess of the dairy in the dish. It's dangerous, I tell you! We'll be back for more.”

“I am a foodie/food-snob. I admit it. I am so often disappointed by my restaurant experiences. Last night, my partner and i had one of the best meals in Asheville we can remember. Bold, sensual, well-balanced dishes (somewhere in the neighborhood Charleston's Xiao Bar Biscuit). Off the hook (if a little pricey) wine list.”

“Excellent fine dining establishment! Kudos to Jay and the rest of the wait staff! They were a fabulous hostess, servers and bartenders during our experience. Food--Phenomenal! Checkout Jazmin if you're I'm the neighborhood! Kurt and Tam”

“What a great place to celebrate our birthdays. Two from KY and two from Augusta GA to enjoy celebrating all four of us having birthdays. Stuart who waited on us was EXCELLENT. We asked him about the damage to Asheville and we could hear it in his voice how hurt he was because others suffered so much. He was very gracious that we chose Asheville to celebrate our birthdays. I had the best shrimp and grits ever and I'm 73. Every meal the fried oysters, salads, Reuben Sandwich there is no negative experience. I hesitated to order the banana pudding but was intrigued by the description. So glad I did, it was so different than what I've ever had but the BEST I've ever had. Thank you to everyone working that day on 1/22 that wished us Happy Birthdays and made this such a wonderful memory for all 4 of us. Very welcoming, great personalities but above all GREAT FOOD.”
