Shrimp and grits were on point. Creamy grits, perfectly cooked shrimp. That chocolate-mint espresso martini was a fun twist. Solid spot for Southern food.

Stumbled on this place wandering the River Arts District. The coffee was solid, and the breakfast sandwich was exactly what I needed. It&rsquo;s a nice, low-key spot to pause between galleries.

So many flavor options, even for my vegan friend! The staff let us try a few before ordering, which was super helpful. We ended up sharing a few different ones and it was a fun way to hang out.

The turkey Reuben was solid, and their gluten-free bun held up great. A nice glass of red was the perfect pairing for it.

Solid beer selection, good local options. Had a Fonta Flora Gose with my dinner, crisp and refreshing. The wine list is extensive too.

Stopped by for takeout last week and it was so good I had to come back. The food is fresh and just tastes right. Tried the dine-in this time, service was solid again.

The way they present the tea is so thoughtful. The little details in the decor make it feel like a quiet escape from the street. Just a really nice spot to pause.

Found this corner spot and the pizza was a nice surprise. They had a vegan cheese option for my veggie pie, which was thoughtful. Cozy vibe.

Got seated without a reservation on a Friday night, which was nice. The shrimp/chicken/ribeye combo was cooked just right.

A bit of a drive from Asheville, but the food is solid. Good for a business lunch.

Our go-to spot. The wachos are a must-order every time. Crispy waffle fries loaded with all the good stuff. Never disappoints.

Breakfast was solid. Avocado toast and French press coffee were exactly what I needed to start the day. Service was friendly and efficient, which is appreciated when you&#39;re trying to get to a meeting. A good, reliable spot.

Been here a few times, and the food never disappoints. Their wine list is solid, which always makes for a good evening.

The veggie burger is a solid choice! You can tell it&#39;s homemade, packed with black beans and lentils. Fresh toppings and that special sauce really make it. A bit on the pricier side, but it&#39;s a great sandwich to share with friends over a casual lunch.

Such a cozy spot downtown! The staff took their time explaining all the pastries, which I really appreciated. Ended up trying the lemon curd tart and a lavender latte. Just the right vibe for a slow afternoon.

The staff was so patient with my food allergies. They walked me through the menu, double-checked everything with the kitchen. Felt really taken care of.

The staff here are always so friendly and helpful. They remembered my usual order this time and checked in just the right amount. Really makes a difference.

Great spot for lunch by the lake. Sat on the shaded porch, the view was really nice. Had a burger, it was solid. A bit pricey for what it was, but the setting made it okay.

Richard and Mandy are great hosts. They really set the vibe. I was looking over the wine list, and Richard suggested a fantastic Pinot Noir that paired perfectly with my steak. Made the whole evening.

Seated fast on a packed Friday. Food came out quick too. Got the chicken sandwich, it was solid. Exactly what you need when you just want a quick bite and to get going. No fuss.

Had a lovely dinner here. The ingredients were so fresh, especially the greens in my salad. You could really taste the quality. A nice, light way to end the day.

The staff were super nice! They rolled this little cart around with all the sauces and brought our food right to the table. Also helped us figure out the ordering kiosk, which was a lifesaver.

The biscuits are pretty good here - huge and fluffy with a nice crispy outside. The self-serve bar with all the jams and flavored butters is a nice touch. I liked the peach rosemary spread.

Love that this place is so dog-friendly! The outdoor patio is huge, perfect for my pup. The rotating food truck smelled incredible today, had to grab something. Great spot to unwind with a beer. 🐕

The staff really makes this spot. Super friendly, they remember your name after a couple visits. Feels like a neighborhood joint. Prices are fair too, which is a nice bonus.

Been coming here for years. Server suggested the table-side guac and fajitas, solid choice. The guac is fresh, fajitas sizzle just right. Margarita on the side hit the spot. Lunch was good.

The bartenders are super friendly, and the vibe is chill. Got the classic wings this time &mdash; crispy skin, sauce had a nice kick. Solid spot for a casual bite.
