I'm a big guy who likes a hearty breakfast and these filled me up. The service was excellent, though I did take-out. The restaurant seems very chill and relaxed. I would highly recommend for Gluten Free! They have both corn and plantain tortillas - both of which are gluten free! They're also willing to sub tortillas to make tacos gluten friendly! My favorite are the plantain. I will definitely be back!

This town and the adjoining town of Swannanoa was hit terribly by the hurricane in Sept 2024. They are really trying to get some tourist to come back . They need it. When you get off the exit go left and check out the adorable little town. Lots of boutiques and from what I can tell. This town has lots of little art stores and shops and really nice people. Come dinner time, we found this place. The menu was large and the staff very accommodating. The food was delicious. My husband and I have zero complaints about our food or experience. This was the first place I've ever been that served warm bean dip with your chips. It was delicious. I can't wait to go back. Go visit Black Mountain and show support by shopping and eating there. Take a drive up the mountain too. I'm already planning big to go back !

And the service was great. Wish I would have gotten the young man's name who helped us. He was blonde with a nose ring and very sweet. Everything I had was so yummy I had to take a flan to go I snuck a little taste and it was yummy. A bit strong in flavor but I am looking forward to eating that as soon as I get back to my room. Margaritas are great as usual, Not sure I've ever really had a bad Margarita. As long as it has tequila, I'm a happy girl. All in all, this was a great stop and I would highly recommend.

The bartender described some of the local beers that we were not familiar with and took our order quickly.

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. The potato salad was cold, but had good flavor. The beans were the best part of the tray, as they tasted like sweet BBQ sauce. 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.

We got the hint and went back up the stairs to civilization, walked across the street to Father's Pizza and had a great meal. If you are from out of town don't waste your time.

The restaurant and patio bar are within walking distance to other spots in downtown Black Mountain, easily walkable if you are staying at an Airbnb in the local area like we were. The cocktails were glorious. On the first night, Puck's Potion and Negroni were very enjoyable. We found ourselves at the outdoor bar with the patio behind us, surrounded by quaint shops offering various retail and service options. The bartender that served us was super cool on the first night. We didn't have to wait for stools and enjoyed our cocktails on high-top seats. The second time we went, which was our last night in town, we had a reservation and went downstairs into the cellar. Watch your step as you descend the stairs so you don't trip. It was lovely to enjoy the libations and vibrations with my wife on her birthday week as we enjoyed Bahn mi with mustard-glazed roasted pork and falafels. Enjoying the meal in the cozy dining space was lovely and stylish, with modern art-like seats and a little lounge with a sofa behind us.

My friend and I both ordered the Cuban bowl, motivated by the fact it came with plantains. She added jerk Chicken to hers and I added pulled pork to mine. She said her jerk chicken was nice and flavorful, but I found my pork to be bland. We both LOVED the plantains; they were coated in some sort of seasoning with a little kick to it.

What stood out about Black Eyed Susan is their willingness to accommodate our needs and their attention to detail.

I was initially worried about the logistics of preparing food onsite, but the process was seamless and the presentation was absolutely beautiful. A few highlights were the ham and sweet potato biscuits, the balsamic glazed short ribs, and the fried green tomatoes. If you're looking for a caterer, I can't recommend BES enough!!

That said, the food itself landed a bit in the middle for me. I ordered the smashburger Carolina-style (asked for no raw onions) and unfortunately it still came with raw onions. My bigger gripe was the burger itself... the patty was noticeably smaller than the bun, which feels like a bit of a crime when it comes to smashburgers. Flavor-wise it was fine, just nothing that really stood out. I genuinely wanted to love this place because everything else about it is great. I did like Foothills Grange overall, but I'd probably recommend it more as a spot to grab a drink and hang out rather than a destination specifically for the food.
