6:30 Reservations on a Friday night and we were escorted to a booth in the bar area. This worked out well for us as we wanted to visit, and so the live music was in the background and was enjoyed. Started with poutines which were described as fabulous, with special mention of the onions and gravy. Entrees included the stew, a burger, the orzo and one other. The burger and fries were very good, and the other diners enjoyed theirs as well. We were able to play a couple games of tabletop shuffleboard too after dinner which was a nice addition to the evening. The manager checked in to make sure all was well and our waitress was very attentive. read more

A wonderful experience top to bottom! The food,the wait staff, the bar, the atmosphere, were all excellent. First of all, we arrived around 6:45 and were seated immediately. This is a town of microbrews and distilleries so I really didn't know what I wanted to have from the bar. I spoke to the bartender and she let me test a few of the local libations. I ended up getting a local wheat beer. For dinner, I had the tenderloin, the asiago-garlic potatoes, and the side Caesar. Not a big fan of dry aged meat so the steak was good for what it was, but I probably should've ordered something else. That said if you like dry aged beef that this might be for you. It was cooked to perfection! The potatoes were stunningly good! The side Caesar was very very good. My wife had a pastrami Reuben, which was awesome! Another member of our party had smoked meatloaf which was also amazing. Finally, another person had mac & cheese with shrimp which was absolutely delicious! Truly, a wonderful dining experience! Very relaxed, very casual. I could not recommend this place more highly! read more

Terrible service. Good food. 12/28 4:00pm - corner dining room booth, table of 5 $167 Our waitress was rude and confrontational. Looked like she hated the world and that job. Forgot to bring our appetizer salads, when asked she was so snippy. To top it off it was my mom's birthday. Maybe vet your staff, be present on the floor to see how service is going. We were 1 of 2 tables there. My dad was about to leave 20% and I said absolutely not, having a rude waitress throws off the entire dining experience and rewarding poor behavior is simply not in the cards. read more

Food was pretty good but it was brought down by the seriously underwhelming drinks. The old fashioned is poor quality and for 15 bucks I would expect at least better than this, as well the rye tasted like water. All of the whiskeys on the flight had a bad after taste that I could not wrap my mind around. Beer was reasonable but that didn't really make up for it. Additionally 9 bucks for a side of broccoli. Fish and chips was 21 so a small bowl of broccoli is worth half that. read more

What an amazing restaurant. While visiting home and family in Asheville, we went to Rye Knot for a family dinner. We started with cocktails from Margaret at the bar. When she made our first round of drinks, it was obvious that Margaret was more than a run of the mill bartender. Each drink produced was an artistic creative masterpiece that tasted as beautiful as it looked. My Strawberry Cosmo was so good... I had 3 of them. The liquor is made in house! Wow, I couldn't tell the difference between the house made Vodka and my regular drink, Titos. Next was appetizers. They were original and tasty. I had never experienced the Rye Knots and I will definitely have them again. Then dinner. The food was fabulous! If you want excellent meat, Rye Knot is your place to go. The beef is aged in house and is so delicious! We ate meat for dinner, 40 days aged rib eye and fresh roasted pork belly, OMG... the meat was "melt in your mouth" good. The sides were perfectly prepared. The vibe was extremely comfortable. Bobby is a great host. We will absolutely return to Rye Knot!

Over a year ago I gave a 4 star review because their take out corned beef reuben was sooo good, albeit not 5 stars cause the bread was a bit soggy. I ordered again today, $19.00 for sandwich and fries. The meat was horrible, I don't know what changed but it was very poor quality. I don't mind fatty but most of it was super chewy, not tender, hard to eat and I almost choked on it. Not good! Doubt I'll go back, there are other places that do it better. Also I couldn't see or taste the swiss cheese. read more

We had a lunch reservation for 3 people at 12:30 on a Monday. We were seated promptly and the server asked about drinks, but we requested a few minutes to look at the menu. This was our first mistake; we didn't see her again for nearly 30 minutes, even though only half the tables were occupied. Eventually, she returned, apologized profusely and took our drink and food orders. Since most of the other diners had been served and some had even finished and left, we were surprised to wait another 45-60 minutes for our food. The 3 sandwiches were fine, but not worth the extensive wait. The server apologized 3-4 times for the pace, which was nice of her since she wasn't preparing our meals, but I won't be back until or unless I see MANY comments noting service improvements. read more

Be sure and ask where the restaurant is located. GPS will not tell you it's BEHIND THE Steinmart building. This is a restaurant/sports bar/outdoor eating venue/brewery/steakhouse. They appear to have an identity issue. We arrived early for our dinner reservation and chose to have a drink in the bar. We were surrounded by giant big screen TVs on the walls. They have an extensive series of craft offerings as well as national brands of beer, wine, and spirits. By that, I mean they make their own hard liquor as well as beer. I had a craft beer (x3) and was moderately pleased with it. They have a very extensive wine list as well as their other alcoholic products. That in itself can justify a return visit. Had a ruben sandwich with fries. They have many different kinds of steaks, as well as several vegan options. I chose a personal favorite, which was good, with the crispy fries. Next time, it's a steak for me. They have a Tomahawk Steak which has a HUGE rib bone. When people take it to go, they have to cut a hole in the takeout box so the bone can poke through. Maybe by next time, they will have zeroed in on what type of place they want to be. If not, I'll just decide what mode I want to be in when I'm there: Bar, Dining Room, Outside, Home made alcohol, National brand alcohol, Vegan, Steak, who knows...:) read more

Found this place off the beaten path and tried the rye knots of course. So I know the name has "rye" in it and I should have known it was made with rye but these pretzel bites with Gouda sauce took me by surprise. They don't taste like the usual pretzel bites but the taste just worked. Hubby got a flight of beer and it was a pretty generous pour. We each got the Asheville burger with bacon avocado. The burgers are made with three kinds of meat, ground chuck, brisket and short rib. We ordered them medium and they came out well done. Aside from that small snafu, the burgers were very tasty. The fries are so fresh and perfectly cooked. read more

They sell them as "a pound" which was good because these were very small wings. Small, but tasty in a sweet/spicy sauce and I ate nearly all of them while slowly sipping that very crushable beer. When it was done, back into the Sprinter van and off to figure out where we're parking for the night. I had tried to make a reservation on their RV parking app but they're booked two or three weeks out! Note: The restrooms are upstairs and they have an elevator.

You are then given a table number in order to have your food delivered to you. My husband and I ordered the Tuesday special which has two smashed burgers, fries, and a white labs brewing beer of your choice. I chose the American beer, which was very flavorful and not bitter. I am not a big beer drinker however I drank the entire glass. I was a little disappointed in the burger. The burgers were not very smashed and very dry. They did have a special sauce that they put on, but it was less than a teaspoon, could definitely use more sauce to help with the dryness of the burger. They did give you a large amount of french fries that were very tasty and cooked to perfection. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I would definitely go back and perhaps try other items on their menu. Many breweries in the area have a limited kitchens or not at all. If you're looking for a good beer with friendly staff and nice atmosphere this is your place.

New Belgium Brewing

New Belgium Asheville is an absolute must visit for any beer enthusiast. It is quite the space - a…read morelarge lawn in front with plenty of space for the kids to run around, a nice view of the river off the side, and a really nice space inside. Being someone who isn't the biggest fan of kids in the brewery, it was nice that the kids had a place outside to run around while I could drink in (relative) silence inside. As for the beers, yes they have all the New Belgium favorites you know and love from the store, but with plenty of beers that you'll only find on the tap list. Even though the brewery is called New Belgium, they aren't really known in the beer aisles for Belgian styles. Here is where all those Belgian styles are, and they are fantastic. My only regret was that I didn't have enough time to spend there because there were too many other places to visit in a short amount of time. Local beer snobs will probably tell you to avoid New Belgium because it's "too corporate", but don't listen to that nonsense. New Belgium's tap room was one of the most impressive I've ever visited - great quality beers in an incredible space.

Looking to get our weekend away in this beer Mecca started off right, we picked up two tickets to…read morethe 45 minute free brewery tour at New Belgium. They offer several other tour options, the others are a bit longer though, and have a small cost to take. We didn't think we had the attention for anything much longer and opted for a short and simple tour to get the fun started Our tour guide Emma was friendly, and quick to answer all the questions people had for her. The tour was informative telling us about the history and extensive clean up of the land before building the brewery, as well as their brewing process, and offered samples of their flagship Fat Tire beer. Overall it was a good, informative, though simplified tour. The guide was friendly, the beer was tasty and we had a good time. Beautiful facility, and a great addition to the Asheville brewing community We enjoyed another beer after the tour in their beautiful"liquid center". They don't serve food, but did have food trucks parked out front

We have heard nothing about good things about Pack Tavern, so today we decided to give it a try…read more Let me just say Wow! With a family of 3, our son being 12, it is not always easy to find someplace that we can all enjoy and get why we want. But here, that is exactly y why happened. We each ordered something different, which ended up being 4 different things with the added soup, and everything was great. Not just good or ok, but great. Hot, fresh, and genuinely good. I can see why they have such a high rating, and with so many reviews. It is definitely going to be on our short list of preferred restaurants.

My wife and I visited per some friends' recommendations while traveling through town…read more The ambiance in the bar was great and that was about as good as it got for us. It was admittedly later in the night but the food was mediocre/seemed like it had been sitting around and the service was minimal at best. We had our check thrown across the table at the end of the night. Probably won't be stopping by again.

Music was not too loud, so you could talk among your group. My review of the six beers was "entirely unobjectionable". These are well made and had no noticeable defects, but are unlikely to knock your socks off. Best of the bunch were the Red Ale and Stout.
