Fresh new menu, the smash burger was outstanding, fresh and well prepared. Fries were fries, I've had better and I've had a whole bunch a lot worse. Service was a wee bit slow, I do believe they are/were working out kinks. Given time they might pull it together. We sat outside due to the fantastic weather while we listened to the live music being preformed in the open air area. We will give them a try again in a few weeks to see if all the kinks have been worked out.

Railside Grill & Bar is perfectly situated in the heart of downtown Tryon. Guests dining on the…read morespacious outdoor patio enjoy a front-row seat to the live music and community events that make the town so special. The covered outdoor bar offers plenty of shade and shelter, making it a great place to gather with friends while catching the big game on TV. The bartenders and servers are consistently friendly, attentive, and help create a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that keeps people coming back. The menu offers a solid variety of comfort food favorites with a few creative twists. From juicy burgers and a classic turkey BLT to shrimp & grits, the flavorful Steam Engine Chicken, and a next-level fried bologna sandwich, there's something for just about everyone. The street corn nachos are another fun option that's perfect for sharing. I am looking forward to trying the Switchyard Salmon on my next visit.

When we got there, people behind us walked through and told the hostess they had a reservation. When we asked about it, hostess said only a select few people can make them. There were no comfortable chairs inside so, so we sat outside which was nice. Excited about the chargrilled oysters, seasoned well but slightly heated only. They weren't very charred. We ate them and the bread was phenomenal! The wedge caesar salad was fresh, cold and super yummy. The fried chicken breading was super crispy and flavorful. The chicken needed seasoning. The fat on the skin was the thick fat so the skin was not edible so we pulled off the yummy coating. Mashed potatoes amd gravy were amazing. Hot honey was perfect. Will go back and try something else.

First place we visited to eat when we moved here, pizza was pretty good, the crust was amazing…read more Also had the meatball sub and fries which was also pretty good. Staff was friendly, will be back to try one of their menu. We came back and tried some more pizza and some pasta dishes. Pizza here is still pretty good but we feel they use way too much cheese which weighs it down and takes over the pizza. Next time we go we will for sure ask for light cheese. My husband enjoyed his lasagna and I ordered the fettuccine, I really wanted to love it but it was bland and I don't think the asparagus and pine nuts helped because they are bland in general. I ended up putting a lot of salt and crushed pepper on it just to be able to enjoy it enough to eat it. The maple bacon they use here is delicious and they have a great selection of wines and beers here. I heard a lot of people talking about how good their fish dishes were while we were there so looking forward to trying some next time.

Usually I'm pretty graceful about that but the restaurant was pretty empty so I didn't understand the wait. The food we got was delicious . We got the same sandwich, the turkey and Brie but I had a Greek salad and my lunch partner had the Parmesan truffle fries for a side. Again sandwich was seriously warm and balanced and delicious. The salad was just that a Greek salad. The Parmesan fries were really good as well. They were freshly cooked and well seasoned plus the added truffle oil and Parmesan just made them chef's kiss. Our waiter was pretty MIA throughout our service so water was hard to come by. However, we sat by the front windows which was nice, gave us a great view. I would go here again for the food!

The atmosphere is cozy, low-lit, and perfect for date night, a celebration, or honestly just when you want a really good meal with phenomenal service. It's not huge, and judging by how packed it was when we arrived, I'd definitely recommend reservations. We had one of the later seating times near closing, but the place was still buzzing. There's even a second room with a gorgeous long bar that gives off upscale neighborhood hangout vibes. Service was flawless from the start. We were seated immediately and had water in our glasses within minutes. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and somehow had us in and out in about 40 minutes without ever making us feel rushed. That's an art form. Drink-wise, my boyfriend was happy to find some local beers after our brewery-hopping adventure earlier in the day. I ordered a cocktail that sounded good and asked if they could make it spicy... maybe throw in some jalapeños or something. They didn't just accommodate, they elevated. They swapped in a spicy-infused spirit, and it paired perfectly with my wood-fired roasted corn pizza topped with cilantro and jalapeño crema. Absolute flavor bomb that paired perfectly! My boyfriend's meatloaf with mushrooms and mashed potatoes was equally impressive. No notes, just clean plates. We started with the ceviche, and it was outstanding. Fresh, bright, and so flavorful that we started dipping our homemade pita into it. Speaking of the pita, that was honestly my only minor miss (and it wasn't even a miss lol). As a carb enthusiast, I wanted a little more salt and flavor, but that's nitpicking in what was otherwise an exceptional meal. Hearth & Herron is the kind of place every small town wishes it had. Thoughtful food, top-notch service, and an atmosphere that punches way above its weight class. We'll absolutely be back the next time we're in Hendersonville and recommend you do the same!

The restaurant specializes in using local ingredients and the food was top notch. The Nutty Chicken Salad is a green salad WITH nuts, chicken, and fruit, rather than a southern chicken salad. The portion was generous and filling. Hubby's quesadilla was made with what looked to be a spinach wrap and he said it was tasty. The fry I "stole" from his plate was crispy and enjoyable. The iced tea was refreshing and our server got me a to-go cup for the road when we left. We also took a "Whoppers" cookie with us for a sweet treat. Stopping at Stone Soup was definitely an excellent choice in our travels!

What happened to our go-to restaurant in Landrum?!…read more We were big fans and frequent visitors to Stone Soup based on good food, service and atmosphere. That changed tonight. We were welcomed with a hand-written dry erase board outside of the entrance promoting "SPecails" and should have turned around then. We were seated at the bar and eventually greeted by a bartender, who was able to get me a drink, on my 3rd order (telling us that the manager had quit, the pear martini was no longer on the menu due to cost and that they didn't have the Edmunds Oast, Bound by Time beer that was on the menu (actually spelled on menu as "Bond")). My Wife ordered her usual, Cosmo, and said it was the worst she'd ever had. We ordered the Mediterranean plate and Brussels. They were both fine but we weren't checked on a single time after they were delivered. Our water glasses were empty well before we finished, and never refilled. When I asked for the check and gave the bartender a $100 bill, she gave me change from her pocket, which was to the restaurant's favor by a few cents! What in the world?!? Again, we have been fans of Stone Soup for years but we won't return given this disappointing (truly) experience.
