Big steak wedge (side salad portion)
Quentin T.

Wife picked Stoney Knob for her birthday dinner while we were in town for the weekend from Nashville. Made reservations a week in advance since it is popular & we were coming on a Saturday night. had to call to do this but the staff were quick with the booking. We were staying on the north side of Asheville a few minutes from downtown & this was a quick 12 drive to Weaverille. Place was packed when we arrived 10 mins early for our seating. We waited maybe 3 mins though & were in our booth.The vibe here is something else. Decor is eclectic but layout mimics the vintage diner that it resembles from the outside. Very casual but doesnt necessarily feel that way. Menu isnt extensive so you dont have to fret about too many choices which i personally like. We started off with the seasonal watermelon salad which my wife says is one of her favorite things shes had anywhere in recent memory. I had a side portion of the steak wedge salad. For mains i had the carolina shrimp & grits & my wife got the pot pie. Both were insanely rich & satisfying. Good portions & quality ingredients represented. Even though at this point we were stuffed we had to go for dessert & tried the omg peanut butter pie & the tiramisu. not surprisingly, both were excellent. Apparently they have a dedicated pastry chef who makes the desserts every morning. Service was really good here and my sister in law's friend who was working the bar came over and raved about being employed there which is good to hear. Cant find anything negative to say about this place & you'd be hard pressed to find anybody doing so online really either. Just a local joint serving good food in a fun environment. Highly recommend

Best Decore!
Nandy F.

We went for brunch on a Sunday and had a fabulous time! Our server, Lauren, was a trooper, covering her very busy section and more due to a staffing shortage with a smile and a good attitude. The place is full of kitschy decore that truly works well and sets the mood for a fun time! We enjoyed the delicious Bloody Mary special and two OPA! Platters (a lamb and a spanakopita) and a Puerco Rancheros. The food was outstanding! Flavorful and delicious. I highly recommend this amazing place touted as the oldest restaurant in Asheville!

Lemon Chicken soup
Warren D.

Date of visit: September 17, 2024 Came here with a large group and really appreciated the spacious room in the back that was able to accomodate all of us; I surely didn't think there would be room for all of us at first glance at the exterior! In another way that Stoney Knob was surprising was its menu; I did not expect a strong Greek influence in the outskirts of Asheville, NC! I didn't need a large lunch so I went with the lemon chicken soup and it was a pleasant surprise. It was also one of the only things that I would not need to customize or adjust and I try not to do that, especially with a new place. Where the restaurant really shines is in the desserts; both the Peanut Butter Pie and the Key Lime pie were amazing, and I'm not really a fan of Key Lime! Don't let the trailer homes on the hill north of the restaurant scare you off, there is a lot to like at the Stoney Knob.

I believe Stoney knob will forever be one of my favorite restaurants. We stopped in on the way through town for brunch. While I prefer their lunch and dinner menu the brunch is delicious and never disappoints. They do have enough lunch items if you're not a breakfast fan. I got the burger and it was delicious but the star of the show was the special which was breakfast tacos.

Stuffed French Toast
Felicia B.

If you're in Asheville THIS IS THE PLACE TO STOP AT!! The outside might not look like much but when you go inside it's eclectic, you might see a pink unicorn with a gold horn, bear skin rug hanging on the wall or fireplaces. The staff were kind, sweet and helpful. The owners were onsite helping out where ever they were needed. Our first time in here and it will not be the last. The brunch menu was amazing and everything looked and sounded good. I'm a French Toast kind of girl especially if you make it with Challah Bread and that's what I got blackberry french toast stuffed with orange cream cheese (no syrup needed). Every bite was a perfect blend of blackberry, orange cream cheese and challah bread. He ordered the shrimp and grits and you better believe I have a bite (or two). The grits were simply amazing. The Asiago cheese in the grits took them to another level, topped with shrimp and that delicious cream sauce SO GOOD!! All the desserts are made from scratch, we did order the Reese's peanut butter cup pie but I forgot to take a picture.

I haven't found an enormous amount of Middle Eastern cuisine in Asheville, but this place brought…read morethe vibe. It's small and unassuming in a strip mall in West Asheville. My takeout was ready on time. While the falafel roll still might have been better fresh, I wanted something that I could plausibly eat several hours later on a mountain without a ton of restaurants nearby, and that choice worked out well. Many falafel rolls come with add-ons that I don't like, but the pickled turnip offering here was both flavorful and colorful. I also got their fries, drizzles with tahini and parsley, which is a good way to eat fries. A case of baked goods and a small market section of canned items were also available. There was certainly space to eat inside or out for someone without my travel schedule. It's also notable that in addition to the usual falafel, they offer ample vegan options as befits the Asheville community, including a house seitan and some other vegetable and fake meat options. I was happy with what I got, but the choice is always appreciated.

Service and ambiance was successful. I got the Lamb & Beef Shawarma (consisting of mint cabbage…read moreslaw, pickles, toom, tomato, parsley and tarator) on a GF pita, but I got it Suzy's Way, meaning with the addition of fries and hot sauce combined with the other ingredients. The flavors were an absolutely beautiful Middle Eastern combo, and taking it Suzy's Way added a slight kick to the flavor. The pita was properly warmed as well. Overall, this is where to go if you've got a seriously empty stomach and are craving Middle Eastern cuisine.

I've been curious about this place for quite some time now. Located in a dense area of restaurant…read moreoptions in downtown Johnson City, it could be overlooked easily. That would be a truly bad decision. Red Meze is a Mediterranean style restaurant with a long history of here. Its current location is not the original but the food remains epic. The interior is long and skinny with tables and booth seating. There is also a lovely patio area with a tv and heaters. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. The food spans several Mediterranean fares. If you like Greek and Turkish dishes, please treat yourself to this gem. I won't spoil it by sharing my food choices as I firmly believe every dish is delicious. Try it out. Oh, and do get the dolma and a Turkish coffee.

The vibe eating outside on a cloudy 80 degree day made the experience even that more enjoyable. I apologize in advance for not remembering the actual menu names of the food we ordered, so I'm kinda winging it here. Speaking of wings, the Turkish spiced wings were so dang good! Perfectly spiced with tight and crispy skin. What a treat. The falafel app we ordered that came with hummus and babaganoush, wow. Excellent homemade falafel and you can tell the accompaniments were also made in house too. Could have eaten three more portions of the falafel by myself. The Chicken Adana kebab was moist and juicy and charred and spiced and seasoned and fantastically delicious. The basmati rice was buttery, the pita was toasted and fresh. I mean I don't know what else you can ask for. We may go back tomorrow again, it was that good! Keep up the great work Red Meze!

Having worked…read moreyears back in a traditional Greek Kitchen and accostumed to the taste and quality of the food, I can say that the food was not bad at all, but I expected a bit more flavor and the gyro meat not to be dry as it was. The tzatziki was the best thing of our four orders. I will add that not all plates on the menu online they have upon your arrival and I know and it is stated when you order that the meal is cooked to order, still, the order took over 25 min. to get, during this time we can see both cooks in front of us just talking and cracking jokes while they moved slowly around the kitchen. We did not ask for anything extraordinary and probably the slow hands from the cooks it was got us dry food at our table... I will add that some customers had two big dogs in front of us, one of which was aggressive to some of the other customers and while I understand the place is dog friendly and we love dogs, this one was making everyone nervous and the owner instead of doing something about it, just talked to the owners about the pets like nothing was happening, I guess you can't read the crowd in this sense.
