I haven't ate here in a couple of years and the food (the food I had) has went downhill. I also didn't know that they had lost their alcohol license which was a major bummer. For the appetizer I had the Double Dipper. The spinach dip lacked any flavor and the pimento cheese was ok. The bread points were just drowned in butter. The cucumbers were slimy and thinly sliced. Also it came with celery which I don't eat at all. The menu said fresh vegetables. I should have asked. My fault there. I got the French Broad Burger which was pretty good considering. Sweet potato fries were good too. The service was amazing! Everyone was so friendly!!! Went early on Saturday evening and unlike before it was slow but with the amount that was there it was a great little chatter time! I love the view of Main Street and the charming little mason jar lights. read more

Stopped in for dinner on a family vacation and I was pleasantly surprised! The service was great and the server was as nice as could be! Very patient and friendly. The restaurant has an older feel to it but could also just be quaint and country! The onion rings and Buffalo chicken fry plate were good! I would order these again. The brisket was good! Some pieces were more tender than others but I was happy overall. The salad and burgers were also very solid. The food seemed to be decent quality, good temperature and came out quickly despite the small crew there that night. If you're in town and looking to grab a casual meal that'll leave you satisfied, try this spot! read more

If you visit or live in this area you'll definitely need to come here. The inside was warm with wood everywhere and the staff were all super friendly. They're still working on getting their alcohol license so there was no beer to drink, sadly but the food made up for the loss of it. My wife ordered the fried mushrooms which she didn't like but I thought they were good with a slight crunch and then creamy insides with an earthy flavor. We split the brisket sliders withe sweet potato fries and the brisket had a good flavor to it but I recommend getting their house BBQ sauce that was sweet with a fruity flavor but also made with veggies like carrots. It was excellent and I brought some home. What a great find for our outing here. read more

Craving some mouthwatering brisket and juicy burgers, we embarked on an adventure to this charming Main St eatery. Lucked out with a parking spot right in front of the restaurant and were greeted warmly by the hostess. At the moment, they are unable to serve alcohol, and not sure when they will change. We had already decided on what we were ordering before we even arrived so there was no turning back. And boy, did they deliver! The brisket is simply amazing, I had the sliders with a nice side salad and it was perfection. Overall, the inside is nice and cozy, and the place got packed for dinner. We will return for sure! read more

I haven't been here in years... I feel a though the food has gone downhill. Also the place is kind of run down inside. I was also not happy as a waitress who didn't even take care of us was making comments for us to leave..... And there was only one other table of people in the entire restaurant on a Saturday night.. We were not even hanging around after we ate for any other reason then for people at our table to use the bathroom.. it's a shame I remember the owners working this place when it was new and it just was top notch... Now it's run down it seem like there was a bunch of young people just hanging out not buying anything. read more

The food here is the star. Generous portions at reasonable prices. Service was a little slow but in the sleepy little town of Mars Hill, NC, I don't suspect anyone is really in any kind of hurry. Unfortunately we were, but Im not holding that against them. The restaurant was cute and fit right in to the quaint little downtown area. I give this place a resounding 4 3/4 stars out of 5. Well done Stack House read more

It was 2 ish pm and we were both so hungry. With it being Wed before Thanksgiving, I think they were short staffed but they did very well. My sandwich (veggie burger) was SO yummy and I was glad that I took the servers advice and added pimento cheese fries. My husband had sweet potato fries and the Jamaican jerk chicken sandwich. He said it was good too. We would go back. read more

The service was great and the food was hot and delicious deserts was so many to choose from and it was great I love it I will be back read more

Food was awesome, service was amazing. Really enjoyed the location on the edge of a cool little university. Highly recommend.

Our 8 top came in around 2:00 p.m. We go there and minutes later, the place was slammed. Our girl, Molly rocked it. She waited on the whole place tables, bar, and hostess!! She explained the menu and her top favs. Beer was on point, recommend the Blueberry Cider and the Jade IPA. Now for food. The pimento cheese was one of the best I've ever had. We all had either burgers, chicken, or brisket sandwiches. All amazing! What we loved most is that everything is fresh and actually cooked here! You can't go wrong with this menu. Delicious. Molly, thanks again. We enjoyed it! read more

Biggest burger East of the Mississippi River. This is a must stop if you are hungry and need food! The burgers are huge and delicious! Grabbed a few beers to and they hit the spot. read more

Great fried chicken sandwich! They let you choose from a ton of add-ons, so you can customize your sandwich. Honestly, one of the best chicken sandwiches I've had in the Asheville area. Simple little spot in Mars Hill. Great food! read more

Don't come here if you have anything else to do anytime soon. There were probably 6 tables including us, and it took about an hour and a half to get a burger and some fries. Food was fine, but staff was too busy watching Malcolm in the Middle. Waitress said the day was surprisingly busy. Yikes. Can't imagine what it would have been like if it actually was. read more

My son played a baseball game at Mars Hill University, so we stopped by here after. The servers were extremely nice. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Portions were huge and we could've shared a lot of dishes. No alcohol is served here--not an issue, but some diners might want to know. We would definitely return here. Delicious food at a great price. read more

We will give it a second shot, I always give places another shot when I don't like my experience the first time because it could just be an off day. They were slightly busy when we went Food: I got the wings, the dry seasoned ones. The seasoning was lacking flavor...and the wings were dry tasted old...slightly sour taste. I didn't finish them because of this. My husbands dish was also dry and lacking flavor Service: clearly they are understaffed and the staff they had the day I went said they were new. Things were a little slow but understandable given those two things. Ambiance: the restaurant itself felt a little stuffy, not crispy and clean. There was also some gentleman sleeping on the couch who was lightly snoring, so that was an interesting experience that didn't quite add to the dinner read more

We were traveling around the WNC area with three granddaughters, and decided to stop in Mars Hill for lunch. Stack House looked like it could be a great choice that everyone could enjoy, and we were not disappointed. I had the French Broad burger with a side salad, and hubby had a lettuce wrap burger. The grand daughters had Chicken Fingers, a Forks of Ivy salad, and the Chimney Rock. Everyone enjoyed their food, and the restaurant had delicious chocolate eclairs as a special dessert! I was most miserable, because eclairs are one of my top favorite desserts, and I can't eat them, due to gluten intolerance. Waaaahhh!! Go there! It's a nice little spot with something for everyone. read more

Surprisingly good! Huge servings! The house made honey mustard dressing was delicious! And the homemade Shirley Temple - yum!

First time diner at the Stack House. Couldn't be in a better location in "downtown Mars Hill." It's right on the corner of Main Street and NC 213. Pretty decent number of patrons on Tuesday afternoon. It has a laid-back ambiance and geographic names for menu items. It's a robust menu and you can "build your own stack" as well. I had the Exit 11 burger with fries and "home made" cherry Coke. It took a while, but hit the spot with excellent fries and a juicy burger. Service was excellent. read more

Been here twice First time was for lunch and the food was good. Service was a bit slow but not terrible. I liked the interior vibe kind of old school bar food but a little elevated. Based on the first experience I took my girlfriend for dinner. Since my first time was lunch I hadn't noticed they didn't serve any alcohol. Not even beer or wine which is as a bummer. But we stayed for dinner. This time the food wasn't as good as the first time. Everything seemed over done and dried out. I don't know if they lost the alcohol license or gave it up (I sense it was the former) but no beer or wine loses a star for me. And inconsistent food is another lost star. I will try them again hoping they can improve. read more

The best place to eat in Mars Hill. I usually get the Rocky Ridge Fries but tonight I switched it up and got the Dry Ridge Sandwich which had Fried chicken, goat cheese (which sold me) and grilled apples(also sold me) and honey mustard. I got it on sourdough bread which was beautiful and so filling. It is very socially distanced and they explain the strict mask rules at the doo. You have to call shed for dine in so don't expect to walk in anymore. read more

Great food! Great service! Chipotle Q is delicious. This is a great place to stop in for a quick meal.

Very good brisket and burgers. I eat here frequently and it's always good. Clean and good service.. very good value/prices. Senior menu is very good! read more

Stackhouse is great. I love their Pisco burger. It's the best and staff is friendly. Drinks always cold.and it's close to home in a friendly small town read more

The burger I ordered was one of the best I've ever had. Great service too. It's a casual place and relaxed atmosphere.

Great food and hard working staff. I often get one of the Senior specials. Unfortunately, they don't have an alcohol license so, no beer or wine. read more

This place is a gem. Pub fare and everything out of the kitchen tastes great. The chicken tenders are amazing and they call to me across space and time. Best ever. read more

The pimento cheese and pita chips are scrumptious! A must-have at every visit! The burgers are tasty and the brisket is delicious as well.

Corner bar with fabulous food. Excellent service. Will stop there again if we are in the area.

I always love eating here! We have been several times over the last couple of years. Every time we're in the area it is always one of the highlights of our visit. Sad that they are having issues with their liquor license; they used to have a great selection of delicious craft beers on tap. However, the food was so good that I didn't even miss the beer. I had the goat cheese salad with a veggie burger patty, my husband had the pulled pork sandwich, both were incredibly fresh and tasty. The service was amazing, We will be back. read more

My girlfriend and I visited this location twice over a vacation weekend and I cannot recommend it enough. The staff was friendly, the service was quick, and the food was fantastic. One of the best burgers I've had in recent memory. The ambience was very comfortable, a place you could feel at ease in. read more

Great Burgers, for anywhere. The only complaints I have about the place are the smokers in the front and the cooks that smoke in the back. When the people smoke in front of the restaurant it goes through the restaurant, same as the back alley way for the cooks. The servers are always attentive. If the food takes awhile it's because it's always fresh. read more

This is where I always take visitors from out of town! Love their food, especially the barbecue.

This will be a short one. Best barbecue I have ever had. Best baked beans I've ever had. Best pickles I've ever had. 5 star service. read more

My wife and I ate here passing through. I had a smashed burger with blue cheese and fries and she had a half Forks of Ivy salad. Both were really good. Really really good. Very pleased. Wait staff was terrific. The atmosphere is cozy and not over crowded. We'll stop again. read more

Hamburger sliders are a whole hamburger cut into 4 quarters and placed on 4 small buns. Not the little individual hamburgers you get at other restaurants. Brisket sliders had very little meat on them. Carmelized onions and smoked Gouda were the tiniest amount. Had to ask for more onions. Had to ask for bbq sauce for brisket. Catsup was in the tiniest paper cup, had to ask for more. Suggestions: Don't offer 4 sliders on the menu if you can't give enough meat to go with the buns. Put the bbq sauce in squeeze bottles so people can taste the variety you offer and decide what they like. Put bbq sauces, catsup and other condiments on table. Waitress has enough to do. read more

Great service -- even though there was one server for our Monday lunch visit. If she's not an owner, she sure acted like one -- made us feel like we were her only table. Burgers were amazing and cooked precisely to order (medium, Med-rare). Beer selection was broad with plenty of interesting, local brews. Would definitely visit again if I go through Mars Hill. Absolutely worth the small detour off the interstate to visit here. read more

This is a must when you are out in the Asheville area. Me and my Fiancé loved this place. The food was amazing and the staff was super nice. The have the best brisket and amazing BBQ sauces (which are homemade). I bought myself a mason jar of BBQ sauce for only $10! read more

Really good food and excellent service. Terra was the waitress and she was great (owner, please give her a raise!)

Walking distance from campus and nested in the heart of the tiny town of Mars Hill, NC, the Stack House will give you a memorable burger experience. It doesn't seat a tremendous amount of people so if there are events at the University, I suggest going earlier or later to make sure you get a seat. Casual and relaxed, the decor is comfortable and the staff is friendly. They offer a fairly wide menu, one to fit most any taste but we were there for their famed burgers. I got the Exit 11 Burger all the way with all the trimmings and an order of baked beans. My wife got the same burger but with fries. Be warned, these burgers are thick and mighty. You may need to detach your jaw or at least warm up your jaw before tackling these discs of goodness. The burgers look hand formed and the biggest surprise for me was the bun. It is NOT your typical hamburger bun. The buns have substance to them and can stand up to these burgers and toppings without falling apart. The burger is one of the best I've ever had. I'd even say it is one of the best burgers you can get in the Asheville area. The beans were delicious and the fries looked hand-cut. Pickles tasted homemade. Prices are Asheville-Esque but not unreasonable, but good food is worth the price. These burgers are worth the drive to Mars Hill. read more

The best burger in Asheville is in Mars Hill. So juicy, tasty with a good variety of toppings. The place has a small selection of beers and a few appetizers but the stars are the burgers. Service was friendly and the place has a nice casual vibe. My burger was perfectly cooked and I chose the sweet potato fries and they were really good too. read more
