The gossip was all true... great place to stop for a meal while you're on I-40 (or as the locals we…read morewere chatting with told us, stop by anytime!). Extremely friendly service. The locals raved over the nachos and I heard them ask for the recipe. I'm here to rave to you over the side salad. You get a choice of "boring fries" (their name not mine) or a side salad with your sandwich. Holy cow, that's the best side salad I've ever had. No boring iceberg and insipid tomatoes here. Spring greens, sweet onion, shaved fennel, gourmet tomatoes, pepitas (pumpkin seeds), Craisins and lots of fresh herbs with an amazing house-made vinaigrette dressing. Impressive. Absolutely make a stop here and see for yourself.

This is the best food in Swannanoa and literally 2 minutes off I-40. The beer is great as well but…read moreno joke the food is to die for Nola inspired grub. Killer vibe inside with 10 seat bar, 2 lounge areas, hightop seating and a large/covered dog and kid friendly patio. Best chicken sandwich and roast beef sandwich in all of WNC. All the sides, apps and desserts are amazing and worth going back to fryer everything on the menu. Chef Dano(founder of Root Down) started with a food truck rocking out at all those amazing Pisgah Brewery outdoor shows and most recently ran the food program at salvage station(RIP). Our guy is back and now are doing the same high quality tasty fare in beautiful West Black Mountain

The bartender described some of the local beers that we were not familiar with and took our order quickly. The grilled chicken sandwich was juicy and flavorful and the fries were cooked to a golden brown, just the way I like them. Ambience was "bar casual" with a mix of locals and out-of-towners. It's a fun place and located in easy walking distance from the White Horse music venue.

The meat unfortunately would have been kind of bland without the sauces (mustard and classic red respectively), but even with them, they were kind of dry.

Overall, kind of a mediocre BBQ experience, but I'm not above the possibility of returning and giving the brisket, ribs, or fries a shot.
