Service was successful and ambiance was pleasurable. I got the Popper Burger (consisting of two 3 oz smash patties, jalapeños, pepper jam and vegan cheese) without jalapeño cream cheese and smoked Gouda, but with fries and chipotle aioli. The fries were beautifully browned and crispy, generously salted, and the chipotle aioli gave it a little kick. Regarding the burger, both patties were juicy, the cheese was melted perfectly, the bun was warm albeit a little crumbly, and the jalapeños and pepper jam provided a heavy amount of spice. I personally would have only put those on one of the buns, but this was still highly flavorful. Overall, this may be a small place, but it provides big flavor.
This was a fantastic spot for a group of eight. I was craving a good burger and Hail Mary was the perfect stop. We found some free street parking in front. We were in town for my Bachelorette and wanted a casual spot for a big group. I loved how easy it was to order up front and take your icon order number with you to an open table. They have a great menu here filled with creative burgers and fried chicken sandwiches. My girls and I loved all that we ordered. I went with the classic burger that was super delicious. I had two friends get the fried chicken sandwich. They loved how generous the portion was (the chicken was hanging outside of the bread) and finished every last bite. I paid extra for the side of fries and enjoyed them. Another friend loved the bahn mi burger. It's a great spot for quick and delicious food. The people who work here are super kind. There is a single gender neutral bathroom stall. We sat in their outdoor covered patio. I highly recommend this spot for big groups and great food.
Really unique place. Crab Rangoon grilled cheese was one of the best things I have had lately. We shared that and a Beef Bulgogi burger which was also really good. We ordered at the window outside and dined inside. Very nice people. We had a great experience.
We tried Hail Mary in West Asheville yesterday and honestly... really impressed. First off, the setup is great--tons of indoor and outdoor seating, and they even have a bathroom outside so you don't have to go in if you're sitting out there (small thing, but I appreciate it). Parking was also easier than expected for that area. Staff was friendly and everything felt pretty easy. The menu is fun and a little different, which we liked. We both got the Hot Girl Chicken sandwich and WOW. I don't know what they're doing to that batter, but it's some of the crispiest chicken I've ever had. Like... still crispy even after sitting for a while. Super well seasoned, not greasy, and a really solid portion. We also got a mule (you can pick your alcohol--we went tequila) and it was super refreshing. The ginger really cut through the heaviness of the food in a good way. But the yucca fries were my favorite part. So good. The texture was perfect and there was plenty of topping/sauce on the plate to dip every bite--nothing sad or dry at the bottom like you sometimes get with loaded fries. I couldn't finish everything, but I saved the fries and ate one like an hour and a half later and it was STILL crispy. That alone sold me. Overall--really good food, big portions, and a fun spot. Would definitely go back.
Food was BOMB! Daily specials, large selection of beer/cocktails/thc seltzers. Service was great! What more can you ask for in West Asheville
That fried chicken sandwich was amazing. Wow. They used a chicken thigh instead of the usual chicken breast. Was fried to perfection. Service was friendly and we ate outside as they do have alot of seating area for that. Its around alot of different bars and restaurants, but it isnt too hard to miss. Ill be back to try more options very soon next time im in Asheville.
They managed to keep the good things about the former Tastee Diner that make it seem like a fun, cozy little spot while feeling less like a complete dive than Tastee Diner did. I mean that as a compliment. It's cute on the outside and inside now, paying homage on the inside to pop grrl power. This is one of those Asheville places where you order your food at the front counter and get a number to put on the table, get your own table settings ("goldware" instead of the usual silverware, and real cloth napkins!), then they bring your food out to you and bus the tables. So semi-service. But you're really coming here for the food, which fortunately is very good. We ordered two sandwiches, one with an add on of fries, but instead of a second order of fries, we ordered kween beans. These are pan blistered green beans in a pad thai (peanut) mayo/miso sort of sauce, with pickled veggies and spices. This was a really unique combination of flavors. The green beans themselves were tasty, the sauce was very nice and the pickled veggies gave it an element of a slaw-like flavor, too. So a lot of different tastes going on, but it all seemed to work. One sandwich was the banh mi burger. The meat was a combo of hamburger and Vietnamese pork, which made it juicy and tasty. Again, there was a somewhat weird combo of smoked gouda cheese, pad thai mayo, poblanos & pickled cabbage, with various spices. But once again, it all worked well together. The other sandwich was the jerk chicken po boy. These chicken thighs were probably the best thighs I've ever had -- so tender and flavorful. The sauce started off like a regular bbq sauce, making this sort of a like a typical pulled chicken sandwich, but then the jerk seasoning kicked in, giving it a nice Caribbean style flavor profile with a good amount of heat. White cheddar, chipotle aioli and pickled onions and daikon cabbage rounded out the sandwich, giving it a rich umami taste. An absolutely great sandwich that I highly recommend! The fries were good, basically diner-style fries (our server spilled some of them as she neared our table and said she'd bring more, but didn't. Even so we had enough to eat). We enjoyed Edmund's oat porter, which they have on draft, as a great complement to the food, especially the jerk chicken. The little bit of chocolate taste and richness of the beer paired well with the spiciness of the jerk chicken, and surprisingly also with the Asian style green beans. I'd say the food might be just a little bit pricey, but for the innovative layering of tastes, it was elevated enough to merit being at the higher end of the range for this sort of a meal. We'll be back!
This is a MUST stop for us every time we're in town. Since it was Tastee diner ! And I'm so happy the new owner was able to keep things going, meshed some fresh vibes with the old vibes which is super fun and inviting. The food is comfort food to the max and blows our mind every time. Service is always great and everyone is super welcoming. Until next time !
This place was so delicious we ate there two days in a row! We came the first day to grab food for our brother-in-law before his wedding. We decided while we were there we'd eat as well since the menu looked good. The food was amazing! I got the spicy burger with the jalapeño and cream cheese and it was so tasty! I got a side of veggies (carrots) and ranch. The ranch was packed with flavor! My husband got the smash burger and fries both days and said it was one of the best he's had. The next day I got the spicy chicken sandwich and fries and they were also delicious! Definitely cannot wait to go back! The service is amazing. You order at the outside counter and they bring the food to you. The staff were very friendly. The decor is super eclectic! We ate outside both visits and it was very cute on the patio. The women's bathroom inside was very interestingly decorated, but also very tasteful. read more

One of the best burgers I've had in a hot minute! I was in Asheville for a friend's bachelorette party, and despite this being a popular pre-wedding destination, it can be tricky to find a restaurant with space for a large group! Hail Mary fits the bill, with quick counter service and plenty of room to spread out on the patio. Honestly everything on the menu sounded good, but a good classic-style burger was calling my name. Hail Mary's is a double patty with American cheese, caramelized onions, "kween" sauce, and dill pickles. This is exactly what I was craving, and fulfilled that "diner-style" burger nostalgia with elevated ingredients. I also ordered their PBJ Brussels, which sounded intriguing and were indeed delicious. The flavors kind of sound like they wouldn't work together, but they totally do. Prices aren't bad for the quality of the food, but when adding in drinks, it can get a little expensive. I highly recommend a visit if you're in the area! read more

The food was good staff was nice. BUT! They charged me a 25%tip without asking. Two sandwiches two pops $60.00!!!!! We went back up and said fix it. You have to order your food at a window. Not worth that much tip. Way toooooo expensive! read more
