I got the Down Home burger with mac and cheese on the side. My boyfriend got the slider sampler pulled pork, blackberry habanero chicken, and brisket. We got a side of curly fries to share.

My boyfriend thought the blackberry habanero sauce was too spicy but the other two were good. The size of drinks here are gigantic! Love the coke.

With a family of 3, our son being 12, it is not always easy to find someplace that we can all enjoy and get why we want. But here, that is exactly y why happened. We each ordered something different, which ended up being 4 different things with the added soup, and everything was great. Not just good or ok, but great. Hot, fresh, and genuinely good. I can see why they have such a high rating, and with so many reviews. It is definitely going to be on our short list of preferred restaurants.

I am a cinnamon girl, and that was delightful. It was also nice that the chef de cuisine (Chef Sam) also brought out the cheesecake. He was another delight that came with it. Sweet potato gnocchi was my next favorite. All the textures and flavors complimented each other so well. I could eat that every night

The restaurant is small but cozy. I wouldn't say the atmosphere is bad but definitely could be better. Our waitress was kind. The food was good but I was looking for a little more of something.

Tall John's provided us with great moments but also slight disappointment. We felt the appetizers,…read morethe goat cheese dumplings and the bread rolls, were overpriced for what we were given. The main courses, however, were great. The mussels tasted amazing and the lamb was incredibly tender. Other members of our party got the salmon and chicken and spoke highly of them. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable but perhaps suffered from the table layout which was tight and tucked away in the corner, and as a result multiple things were spilled on us and dropped on the table when clearing up. We were also served a warm, flat diet coke, but to the servers credit she took care of it immediately and replaced it with something else. We were surprised to read Lauren B's review below who, by her own admission, spent her anniversary dinner eavesdropping our table. Even if what she claimed we said was true (instead of making up quotes), it is totally inappropriate. Our subjective opinion on a dining experience is ours alone and just because someone else's experience was different, does not make ours untrue. Lauren arrived long after we did, so claiming to know what we had said or to claim to know of our experience is bizarre behavior. Claiming to hear our table say "we should disparage them on yelp" is a flat-out lie and makes no sense if we had said that before the food even came out. Wanting to leave reviews on a restaurant is not abnormal and discussing the value of a menu item does not equate to not being able to afford something or wanting "cheap eats". It is ironic that someone who understands empathy would go online and make personal judgements about someone based on their own subjective experience. So I would take her review with a grain of salt.

Will be coming back time and time again. Just wanted to share about Nina's review down below (3 stars) I was the table next to Nina and her group. We had the same server and she was absolutely incredible, didn't seem scattered at all but like a true professional. Nina's group gave off a pompous, inexperienced air and even said "we should disparage them on yelp" before the food even came out. So I would take this review with a grain of salt. My husband had the chicken dish and he absolutely loved it and understood it did not come with sides but sides are available to order. My husband has very intense dietary restrictions and our server took plenty of time to articulate how the dishes are made and what accommodations can be made. Unfortunately, Nina seems to be looking for cheap eats at elevated dinner experiences. Tall Johns is a Michelin guide recognized restaurant, complaining about prices for a restaurant of this caliber speaks more of the diner than the establishment. If you can't afford the dinner, just say so!

It was more than enough food for two people. I am Italian, and I usually will only eat my own meatballs, I devoured Vinny's meatballs! My husband thoroughly enjoyed the fried flounder as did I. So we liked it so much the first night we came back our second night in Asheville. Tonight I had the mussels appetizer as my entrée with a side Caesar salad, and my husband enjoyed the flounder so much he got it again! Definite, they must try Vinnys!

We were in Asheville celebrating our anniversary, and while on the hunt for excellent Italian, came across Vinnie's on Yelp. Now this place is old school, honestly, somewhat to their detriment. No reservations allowed. When you arrive, you give your name, but there is no system whatsoever to let you know it's your turn. No pager, no text, nada. They're also quite popular, so there's not really enough room to wait comfortable inside, it was cold outside, so we just went to sit in the car and pass time as our estimated hour wait chipped away. I came in just to check at half an hour, and they still felt it would be another 30. We came in to wait 15 minutes later, and then started to see people we knew came in after us getting seated. I went to check again, and we'd missed our name being called. They did seat us right away after that... but this just highlights why yelling out a name really isn't sufficient when you typically have waits like this. You can make a free text number for the business to text from on several services if you wanna do something free and rudimentary. Once seated, issues unfortunately did not cease, but thankfully the food we ordered that we actually received was phenomenal. Our server was overly attentive, which is preferable to the alternative, but it made it hard to enjoy each other's company. That attentiveness did not extend to getting our order correct though, our salads never came. They were removed from the bill without issue of course, and in the end, we had plenty to eat (and delicious leftovers). With three entirely preventable issues though, it would have been hard for me to give this experience a 5. The food though... absolutely a FIVE. Arancini was lovely. Crisp but not overly crunchy outside, creamy satisfying texture inside, and an immaculate sauce. Complimentary bread slayed. My lasagna cracked my top 5 of all time, as did my wife's baked ziti. Their sauce recipes here have been honed to perfection, and as you'd expect in Asheville, reflect local and fresh suppliers more than likely. It couldn't taste this good without fresh ingredients. So despite all the issues leading up to the food, the food was so good, we would come back and go for it again. We'll know next time to be more diligent with the host stand, much to their dismay, and just hope for a less chaotic experience overall.

It felt very fresh due to the farm to table nature of the restaraunt. We started with the cheddar biscuits, which were a hit. My short rib with polenta and roast veggies was delectable and a very generous portion! Finally, we ordered 1 dessert but they brought us a trio. I was wowed by the cheesecake and olive oil cake!

From the very beginning, this restaurant set the standard for what true hospitality and…read moreprofessionalism should look like. I was in communication with Lindsay for over four months while exploring options for hosting my wedding dinner in their private dining space. Out of more than 10 venues and vendors we considered, she was the only one who consistently showed up with prompt, thoughtful, and genuinely kind communication. Every question I had--no matter how detailed or repetitive--was answered with patience and care. She made herself available through all my moments of uncertainty, which, as any out-of-state bride can attest, is invaluable. When we finally visited in person, Lindsay went above and beyond by accommodating us outside of regular scheduling. Her attentiveness and warmth never wavered. Planning a wedding from afar can feel overwhelming, but having someone like her in your corner brings a level of reassurance that cannot be overstated. Dinner itself was nothing short of exceptional. We were served by Tennille, who elevated the entire experience. She was engaging, knowledgeable, and incredibly personable. Every dish was presented with intention, and she took the time to walk us through ingredients , local farm sourced education and preparation in a way that made the meal feel curated and special. You can tell she genuinely cares about the guest experience--it shows in every interaction. After dinner, we visited their second location to explore their private dining options. There, we met Pierre, who matched the same level of service and hospitality. He went out of his way to not only show us the space, but also recommend local after-dinner spots that could enhance the overall experience for our bridal party. That level of thoughtfulness and big-picture thinking is rare. Bottom line: this team understands that they're not just serving food--they're creating experiences. If you're looking for a venue that delivers on service, communication, and unforgettable dining, this is it.
