I'm am so excited Altamont Deli now has a location inside of Handlebar!…read more I love that I was able to have my sandwich modified to be in a romaine lettuce wrap for no up charge. :D Im gluten free and that gives me so many options here. The menu has sandwiches, wings, salads, sides and more. Great spot for trivia on Wednesdays and karaoke on Fridays. Pool table and darts here as well. Come get your food from Altamont and drinks from handlebar.

A bit out of the way but worth the drive. Had the reuben(always get one so I can compare apples to…read moreapples) and it was meaty, not really fatty, and a good sized sandwich. My wife had the Italian and she said it's the best deli sandwich she's had since moving to NC in 2.5 yrs. Don't know what people can't make a good sandwich here, but this is the spot! Will definitely come back and I look forwforward to trying something else.

Two of us had the Madness Bento boxes and one Classic Bento. All tasty and reasonably priced. Sliders, sushi, gyoza on the bentos all great. Fries crispy and seasoned well. Salad was fresh. Burger was big and full of flavor. Will definitely be back.

This was my first time ever visiting Asheville, and somehow one of the places I'll remember most…read morefrom the trip is a sandwich shop/bodega. I stopped in my first day and got the LT sandwich, which was amazing, but I ended up spending almost as much time looking around the store as I did eating. They have everything from local mustards and honey to tinned fish, seasonings, and a whole section from a local creamery with ice cream, yogurt, smoothies, etc. Everything seems thoughtfully picked out and locally sourced when possible, without having the ridiculous prices you sometimes expect from a place like this. The staff was also amazing--genuinely friendly, helpful, and happy to talk about the food and everything they carry. I liked the place enough that, despite having an entire city of restaurants I'd never tried before, I came back the very next day. This time I got the grinder, which ended up being my favorite, along with the roast beef, which was also delicious. Between the sandwiches, the people, and the frankly ridiculous amount of good shit packed into the store, everything about this place was great. There are plenty of places I didn't get a chance to try while I was in Asheville, but I have absolutely no regrets using two lunches on this one. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town.

Have a wonderful selection of locally sourced groceries (try the pot pies and the pimento!), their house made breads and sweets are insanely good, and they have really unique and top notch snacks & treats.

Neither of which wowed us, but they didn't disappoint either....To put it short, we won't be back for any reason. No foul on the shop, it just lacked pizzaz or something that stood out. Value is a plus, good bang for your buck. They did have a good bit of outside seating with plenty of shade.

This cosy, comfortable cafe is part-bakery, part-restaurant, and has a beautiful patio for warmer days. The front of house team was all female the day we went, and worked together as a powerhouse to get through the busy lunchtime rush. We were seated pretty quickly at the bar area, so we were able to watch the kitchen at work. The team all seemed so organized and efficient - like watching masters at work! Food and drink menu options are delightful, and we really enjoyed the quiche (seasonal vegetables) and the insanely delicious beet and citrus salad. Portions are very generous and food comes out quickly. The server talked us through wine options by the glass, gave tasters and great recommendations. We later learned that Mother supplies bread to other restaurants in the area - no surprise, it was fantastic. Will be returning every time we're in the area.

I wanted a good brunch spot before exploring Asheville. I found Flour and read the reviews…read more According to the reviews, the bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit was a must-try because of how delicious and crispy the biscuit was. I wanted to see for myself how delicious this biscuit was, and I agree with the reviews. This biscuit combo was delicious! I loved how the top of the biscuit was crispy while the inside was fluffy and tasty. The biscuit wasn't dry, and the bacon was delicious with the melted cheese and egg. The potatoes were also delicious and crispy, especially with the aioli. The staff was friendly and accommodating. I received my order quickly, within 5 minutes. I will definitely come back to Flour when I visit Asheville again!

Silverball Subs is a hidden gem on the far west side of town. Not hidden in a "nobody knows about…read morethem" way because their review score and Mountain Xpress awards prove that people do. It's more of a "they are in a weird pseudo strip mall behind an urgent care on New Leicester Highway and you absolutely have to go there on purpose" thing. Whatever you have to do to find them - go. Top notch subs. The Lou Reed is excellent- not quite a Reuben because mustard and not rye and if purists saw you press a Reuben - Oi. The resemblance is strong and the sandwich is wonderful. I ordered the foot long and had half for lunch and half for dinner. Good choice, me. The service was friendly and efficient. The sandwich was finished quickly. I took it to go so I can't speak to the ambiance, but it seemed like a chill spot to enjoy your sub. I'll be back, you should make the journey.

DA-YUMMMM! I'm no local but consider a move to Asheville, and Haywood Common is the kind of place…read morethat helps make the decision for me. A friend has brought me here a couple times - once to dine in on the patio with her dog, and once for takeout - and it's been just delightful both times. The dining in experience was a Monday lunch and very quiet while the takeout was a Sunday evening and much busier. Despite the takeout situation, I opted for southern fried chicken most recently and was really delighted with the meal. The collards were well seasoned, the cornbread was huge, the slaw was slaw (though nothing to write home about, it's hard to make slaw that's worth writing about), and the chicken was well breaded, not overcooked, and still kinda crunchy despite its steam bath. I might have had the southern fried chicken plate the first time too, come to think of it... it's just impossible to find well done Southern food in the west, so I can't pass it up! The patio has nice seating options including a couple coveted tables in the shade. They are all pretty huge picnic tables so you may end up sharing if it's busy, but that's kinda the vibe here. There are dog water bowls and ice water for the pups in the summertime. Regarding vibes, it's right up my alley with servers rocking hairy armpits and tattoos all over the place. If you're a little more physically conservative you may be a bit put off, but I'd encourage you to try it out anyway.
