Overcooked egg.  Crab is small but the picture doesn't show that very well
Stacy R.

Just go to Red Lobster. The server was fantastic. This was not her fault. My seafood boil was the WORST I've ever had. The corn was good. The egg was overcooked along with the crab. The shell was so soft and wouldn't crack, it bent. In fact, at one point my crab meat shot out onto the floor because it was so rubbery! Not to mention the snow crab was ridiculously small. Not worth over $30. The music was great. The vibe of the restaurant is chill, but the cooks need some training.

What a great find in Ashville NC. Best seafood restaurant. Our waiter was excellent helped us in suggesting our seafood broil. We ordered two different kinds of seafood. It's a lot to eat for one person. The sauce is to die for. Lobster , Crab legs , scallops and shrimp was just too yummy . Enjoyed their Margaritas too !! It's a must for those who are visiting Ashville NC.

Shrimp, crab, lobster boil

Host was great, server "Bianca" was great, food was awesome Price appeared high, but the amount of food was worth it. Spinach dip was terrible. Will give it 3 stars due to tiny lobby for people to stand in while waiting. Saw a lot of people leave when they had a 30 minute wait outside the door. Was told they are short staffed and caused the long wait times and build up of customers at the door. Probably a much better restaurant when fully staffed.

Found this spot while on a business trip to Asheville. Service was horrible slow. Waiting almost 25 minutes for a drink so you can imagine how long we waited for food. Food was ok at most. Would not recommend this place until they get their service and wait times under control. I mean really....25 mins for a drink

Food was just amazing. if you love seafood this is the spot to go. The server was very kind. She was willing to take off some things because we ordered too much lol but this is a fun place to go. You can grab a bigger group of people if you need they'll make it work.

From Ebony greeting us with a smile, to Lyric taking our order and bringing us tasty, hot food from the kitchen. We were happy from opening the door to walking back out. Clean, friendly and VERY REASONABLE $$$$$$$ You could not eat quality seafood like this - at this price anywhere- I usually enjoy Vinnie's & The Lobster Trap locally and travel to Charleston for fresh seafood. We enjoyed this meal- it is family friendly and offers a full bar. This staff needs your help... let's assist these young people keep the doors open & going and maybe we can enjoy lots more wonderful meals as we did today .

Boiled seafood WOW! We are from Cajun country; Lafayette, Louisiana. This is the closest to back home. We brought our neighbors, and they were impressed too. Lobster, shrimp, crab in Cajun seasoning- medium. Next time, I will get hot! Even the potatoes and corn were cooked perfectly. So we wanted a different appetizer. So We tried the shrimp fried rice. SUPRISE- IT WAS EXCEPTIONAL! We got a little soy on the side that made it even better. Next time, I hope they have it again. Colby, our waitor, was attentive and honest. Great service. Will be back soon!!! Carrot cake was the icing on the cake, literally. YUM!!

Shrimp and sausage.   Damm good and plenty of food
Ken M.

First time visiting this location and to say the least will be back for sure. The bartender made the day. He was inviting, responsive, pretty Damm straight forward with anything u asked him. Funny as shit. Ordered the food and it came out quick and hot [headless shrimp and sausage med heat boil] very very good. Then for dessert i had a frozen daiquiri margarita. Mmmmmmmm Booya

Shrimp and sausage boil with butter garlic, lemon, pepper and Cajun seasonings
Belinda M.

Tried Crab Du Jour today for the first time. My friend got a boil with shrimp, sausage that had some potato and corn on the cob. It was seasoned with butter and garlic, lemon pepper and Cajun seasoning. It looked amazing. I got some fried shrimp, it was big jumbo shrimp fried crispy with French fries. I also tried their crab cake which was also deliciodelicious. The boil my friend got was only about $13 and my shrimp was $11. Service was very good. Thank you Ms Lyric (sp?) for that. It was not very busy but I highly recommend y'all try It out.

How to finish a long day of traveling?? With a nice dinner of course! Found this place close to my hotel. Started with a spicy margarita (they made it special for me), fried pickles for an app and a lobster meat po boy sandwich (aka cajun lobster roll...) and was really bad by finishing with a piece of chocolate cake (which I couldn't finish) Rachel took great care of me and made great recommendations.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again - Rocky's is the BEST hot chicken sandwich I've ever…read morehad. The spice level is customizable and spot on. I always order the hot and it's just enough heat! I'm tempted to try the next level, maybe next time!! Their service is fantastic, you order at the counter and get to seat yourself wherever. Spacious, with a covered outdoor seating option, and it's quick! They have mastered every aspect of their chicken sandwich. The chicken itself is perfectly spiced and breaded, not too heavy or greasy - melty cheese and delicious ranch dressing. Paired with soft ciabatta to create a masterpiece. Their crinkle cut fries are done right - crispy and seasoned generously. I could drink the ranch. The fried Mac poppers??? Just incredible. Their fresh squeezed lemonade definitely gives a certain popular fast food chicken chain a run for their money... We will always make a stop here anytime we're in Asheville. It's worth every penny, every calorie, and every mile driven. If you haven't been, you HAVE to try it!

What an amazing place. We were on the hunt for baby back ribs and came across Bear"s smokehouse…read more You ordered inside. They have several areas to sit and eat. We chose the outside patio area. First we ordered a rack of baby backs for $40 with two sides. Ribs cooked to perfection. Broccoli salad the best I've ever had. Sweet potato mash also super flavorful. Lastly, we ordered six smoked wings with sweet chili sauce. Wings were delicious, sauce could use a little more sweetness, more on the spicy side. Great place to hang out, huge bar area, several fire pits and great food.

I found this stop a little disappointing. It started with circling the area looking for parking. It…read moretook a while before we finally found a spot. The restaurant had indoor seating, along with a large outdoor area with plenty of tables. We headed inside, got into a relatively short line, and tried to figure out the ordering process, which was a little confusing at first. We eventually figured it out. One thing on the menu caught my attention: "Moink balls," which were described as bacon-wrapped meatballs. When I asked the server what kind of meat was in them, he told me they were out of Moink balls. I said okay, but asked if he could still tell me what kind of meat was in the meatball. He seemed very annoyed by the question, said "meat," when I pressed him, he said that he didn't know. We ended up ordering pulled pork, ribs, roasted corn, and mac and cheese. The food itself was good, and I especially liked the corn. Unfortunately, I couldn't quite get past the way that server responded to what seemed like a simple and reasonable question.

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.

On the plus side, the restaurant was incredibly easy to find and they actually have parking available, which is always a massive win when traveling. Once inside, we were seated at a high-top table, and our server was very pleasant throughout the meal. We started with the collard green and pimento cheese dip, which was supposed to come out hot in a skillet. Unfortunately, as I started dipping into the center, the middle of the dip was still cold. For mains, my husband ordered a chicken sandwich with a side of mac & cheese, and I went with the grilled cheese with candied bacon and tomato. Both of our sandwiches had the same issue: the tomato slices were cut incredibly thick--at least a half-inch. It made my husband's sandwich really hard to eat, to the point where he just took the tomato off and ate the chicken with a knife and fork. My grilled cheese was fine, but that massive tomato slice was just a bit much. As for the sides, my husband's mac & cheese was on the dry side. Mine wasn't dry, but it didn't really have a ton of flavor. I totally understand that the restaurant is trying to go for a fun, modern twist on southern classics, but for us, the execution fell a bit short. It was nice to try once while in town, but I'm not sure I'd visit again on a future trip to Asheville.
