    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!

    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

    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.

    The food was absolutely delicious! We popped in for dinner and talked about it the whole rest of the weekend! Would love to go back.

    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.

    Pesce italiano.  Seabass and shrimp over risotto and asparagus with lemon crema.

    Food wonderful. Service very good. Try the daily specials if you can't decide. Mama's pizza is a great meal with a starter salad.

    Today was really good weather so everyone was downtown on the patio of every restaurant and we…read moreequally wanted to be on patio. Yeah that didn't happen because this place was also packed on the patio LMAO So keep that in mind. Good weather=slim chances of sitting outside especially on a Saturday. But, we actually enjoyed sitting indoors, less busy inside, more quiet. The seat inside are like a bench style so keep that in mind if you are a huge privacy person. Also the tables are small so if you are ordering a appetizer try to finish before your food comes out that way she can grab it. It was very tight when the entree came. The wall has a unique aesthetic with different items stemming from their culture. Our waitress was really nice, great sense of humor, and very well dressed in appearance. She paid attention in making sure we got a refill. Appetizer: 3 triple dipper hummus where you get pita bread and 3 flavors of hummus. The jalapeno hummus is the only one that stood out with a taste and flavor. The other two tasted the same and was very bland in my opinion. I ordered the Meze Bowl with couscous and it was really good except the hummus I think it was red roasted I can't remember. I would have been happy just with the jalapeno hummus. The person who I was with ended up getting a kabob and he enjoyed his food. Will I go back ? Yes This was my first visit so next time I know what to order. But, I would be more interested in visiting on a regular weekday vs the weekend. I think people should check it out for sure!

    Food was delicious and service was extremely prompt and friendly!…read moreGyros were easy to eat unlike others I have had at other restaurants. Prices were great on the meals.
