Nice, newly renovated (2018) space upstairs & down with loft-like feel - high ceilings, wood floors, classic downtown location for receptions, intimate concerts & more.
Known for burgers & fresh cut, overflowing fries, but pricey. Three little cheeseburgers, three drinks & one regular fry to split was $33 & change.
We went for late Sunday lunch. Short wait (went over to “Dark Side of the Moon” for quicker seating). Ordered great fried chicken. 3 sides: mashed sweet potato, cheese grits & slaw. All good.
They make up some nice cold weather spiked coffee & hot chocolate drinks. Get there early enough on game day & you can score a booth to hang out for a while.
I’m pretty traditional, so I get the Mad Dog (sausage, beef & Pep) & then add bacon, extra cheese & some garlic & onion on the 6” mini. Good stuff.
It’s a nice venue. Parking deck convenient. Have been to a concert or two, but also a few galas.
A surprise encounter on our trip, we sadly arrived after the museum closed, but took a quick stroll through the gift shop.
Check for daily specials. We lucked to truffle Tuesday & scores some nice discounts on the same French Broad Chocolates that this place is a part of.
I got Griddled Appalachian Pork, super tender & like thick slice of “unpulled” pork. Accidentally included the sriracha honey drizzle I asked to omit, but wasn’t too hot at all. Delish biscuits too.
A good basic stay reminiscent of a Hampton Inn. Great shower head & water pressure. Room seemed clean & staff friendly. Bathrooms always need more towel hooks. Didn’t try the included breakfast.
Went 2 days in row while vacationing in Asheville since loving A.B.E. in Destin. Wife gets Floridian (crab meat omelette) & I got bananas foster waffle 1 day & pumpkin waffle the next.Buy a mug too.
First visit to an O.P.’s. Tons of toys for all ages there & very helpful staff. Check it out.
Nice simple waterfall right next to the road. Easy to see from road level, or take a few sets of steps to get closer view from lower vantage point. Long stretch of roadside parking helped too.
Good, basic seafood as it should be for 50 yrs.(sign said since 1968). We had rainbow trout, lightly breaded & fried just right. Baked potato & slaw. Small o-ring platter was plenty to share for ~$3.
Smooth, paved trail, but quite a hike given the rise in elevation & distance in the thinner air of 6,000+ feet. At least some benches along the way. Very windy at top & often socked-in with clouds.
Burgers, fries. Big portions. Thought menu said we were getting slaw too, but it never came. Too full anyway, but still.
The usual Cook Out fare is as advertised. This visit, I got the 2-dog tray with o-rings, slaw & big tea for about $5.
Make your own pizza with olive oil base, steak, caramelized onions & cheese. Great. Wife likes the Holy Shitake & Blue Moon. Split a small half-n-half if not starving.
Sufficient for a Hampton Inn. Appears clean, staff friendly at check in, free breakfast is ok, plus cookies, coffee/hot tea station available in evenings.
The small Hook & Ladder is decent size if not starving & helps keep the price down.
It’s Chick-fil-A, so unless you’ve been under a rock or in some remote village for 50 yrs, all the usual selections apply. Friendly staff & the store operator on-hand & helping keeps service hopping.
