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 !

I had cheese enchilada and they were very good. I am a lover of sauce and do wish they had a bit more sauce. The chili relleno was very yummy . The food came out really fast.. 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.

We went down the stairs (it is in a basement) and there were maybe 8-10 people at the bar and a lady behind the bar. We sat down at a table and it became obvious were were being ignored.

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.

Cynthia and Brad were…read moreattentive and professional from the very first contact, and they are truly masters of their craft. Planning a wedding in the midst of COVID is incredibly stressful. What stood out about Black Eyed Susan is their willingness to accommodate our needs and their attention to detail. They were never pushy or impatient, and the communication was fantastic throughout the entire process. Their team went above and beyond on our wedding day. 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!!

The lettuces and other vegetables were so beautifully crisp and appetizing and the dressing was freshly made on site. The protein bowl was my entree and couldn't have been more satisfying. It too was pleasing in its presentation with its perfectly grilled kernels of corn and chicken breast on top--Just delightful and the portion was generous so I had leftovers to take home. My husband enjoyed the roasted turkey with cornbread dressing. Again the portions were plentiful and the plating showed the kitchen's pride by making sure everything looked as good it tasted. I could go on, but suffice it to say that we went back a couple of nights later. The menu is so varied, we could eat here for days without repeating an entree. Thanks, BMB!

How can their counter service Point-of-Sale default to 22% tip when we hardly had any contact with a human other than ordering at the counter?? We have to bus our own table, get our own utensils, water, and napkins. And yet still being asked to tip 22%?!? FOR WHAT?!? How can you say you respect the food and then deliver our sandwiches (for dine-in) in white paper to-go bags, food wrapped in aluminum foil. I've never been someplace that claims so hard to be what it is not. There are LOTS of excellent choices within walking distance of the Foothill Grange. If I were you, I'd choose elsewhere. I certainly wish we had!
