Margarita
Ava G.

NOT BAD FOR AN AIRPORT BAR! My margarita was good, but pricy at $14! I guess that's the airport mark up. I will say that the drink was strong! So you do get your moneys worth. This is the only sit down bar/restaurant in the airport. I didn't try any food, but the couple next to me really loved the soup they had! I heard them talking about how good it is. I'd come by for a drink again next time I'm in this airport.

Chicken salad wrap w bacon and fries

I didn't get her name, but the bartender working on 12/28/24 deserves a raise. She is great. Attentive and kind, and she remembered to remind me when 10am hit bc I am truly not a breakfast person. The chicken salad wrap is phenomenal (in case you read the other reviews, I got extra lettuce and it was super fresh). If you get it, add the bacon. You won't regret it. Also, the fries are good.

Uh... Philly cheesesteak....

Oof. Beer and mimosa service was great, but food took forever - a solid 30 minutes from the time we ordered. And what was presented as a Philly cheese steak came out like s meat omelette on great.

They called this a Cuban sandwich!
Ivan G.

Service was ok, standard! The food was bad even for airport food standards. Sweet potato fries tasted like the oil had been reused a million times, and the "Cuban sandwich" was a joke. When the asked the waitress, she was embarrassed to say, "this is our Cuban, we are not in Florida." Local beer stated like any regular lager. Won't bother to spend any $ here again.

The view and tvs!

I'm not mad at this place It's the only food to eat at the Asheville airport except Cinnabon and I don't count that as food. The Blue Ridge Tavern is simple but has everything you need. Good service, stiff drinks and a small food menu. I've gotten the breakfast burrito on the past and was happy. This time I got the bus hit sandwich and was even happier. The food came out sooo fast. I like to sit at the bar can catch up on emails with the free WiFi.

Today is 6/24 .....the lettuce is all nasty and I threw it out. Didn't realize until I got to my gate to board. Waste of $14

Great place to buy expired food The first time I thought "this has to be a fluke" last month when I was flying to Boston I bought a chocolate chip scone. I took one bite and it tasted terrible. Then I checked the sticker and it had expired EIGHT DAYS before!!! That's disgusting - especially since I paid $8 for it and tipped. Today, a month later, im flying to Boston again. I saw a sign for sandwiches by the counter and assuming they were made fresh I bought one. Nope- they let me know to grab it out of the cooler. The sandwich, which was $14, was "best by 6/23...yesterday!" Gross! Imagine how old the prepared food must be! One time could have been a mistake- but 2x in a row???? These people obviously don't give a crap. Sad- not only is this gross and unacceptable- it's also violating health code . After the owners response I'm filing a complaint with the health department and letting them decide if it's fine to store items over 2 weeks after they have expired as the owner thinks it's fine to do. I contacted the asheville pie company who makes their baked goods and they were extremely apologetic and embarrassed (not their fault) and agree expired baked goods of theirs should not be sold past their "best by" date. Their baker chimed in that scones in particular should only be sold for 5 days after being made and cookies and other baked goods for three days.. So they confirmed that I had actually eaten a scone almost 2 full weeks after it was made which is awful. Cooling them doesn't extend their shelf life and the baked goods display counter is not cooled at the airport anyhow Furthermore- the scone tasted disgusting and stale ...so clearly selling expired food isn't working out. So incredibly cheap at the expense of public health.

Multiple SLIMY rotten lettuce pieces
Adam S.

Had to send the chicken tenders back because they are more like some "meat" foam and not even meat! Got a salad and then it was rotten! Look out for SLIMY rotten lettuce in your salad! I'm sure they're also putting it on the burgers! I really hope I don't get sick after eating part of my salad! Absolutely discussed!

The man serving is amazing, and I absolutely adore him. The man who owns the place is equally adorable, and I adore him, too! You will NOT find two better place to give your time and money to locally, and I swear by that. Always a dynamic food truck on premises. Always a great supply of my FAVORITE wine, beer, and cider. And always receptive of our toddler (our Irish Setter). Go. RUN THERE!!! Trust me, just go. You won't be sorry. These people and this place is among the best in Asheville. Never mind Sierra Nevada or any of the other over popularized breweries. They're over priced and over filled. Go here. You can thank me later. And you WILL.

Their beer and wine menu rotates and is curated with the classics and wonderful new options you've maybe have never even heard of. Food trucks here on most evenings with good variety. The owners are incredible, warm and inviting, and the other staff are really engaging and knowledgable about the selections. You can walk in with a slight idea of what you like in a wine and they'll help you find one that's just right for you. Free wine tastings every third Thursday is the month and other fun events and themes from time to time. I'd say this is a great spot to do some work (intentionally placed outlets for laptops!!!), relax and read a book, catch up with friends, celebrate an occasion, or just kill time while figuring out what to do with the rest of your day (as we're doing now).
