A bar that allows you to play unlimited games while you drink! How fun is that? And an awesome bartender, Collin:). I had the Pebbles & Bamm Bamm complete with a fruity pebbles rice krispy treat! It was an awesome cocktail:) Several drafts on tap, which is awesome! And they will soon have a bowling alley as well!!

Amazing time. Great food drinks with a stellar ambiance. Service was good. It was kind of slow but then again it was mid week.

Our local Uber driver recommended this spot and it did not disappoint! The interior is spacious and…read morewelcoming. There are TVs inside playing the local games and weather. I got the Down Home burger with mac and cheese on the side. My boyfriend got the slider sampler pulled pork, blackberry habanero chicken, and brisket. We got a side of curly fries to share. The fries were delicious with my burger. The mac and cheese was thick; you could tell it was made with high quality cheese, my favorite kind. My boyfriend thought the blackberry habanero sauce was too spicy but the other two were good. The size of drinks here are gigantic! Love the coke.

Been a regular here for years. Was just told on May 1 by both hostess and then the manager?…read more(Hostess simply pointed to him and he didn't introduce himself) that our party of two couldn't be seated on patio because "it's going to rain." I saw others briskly turned away for the same bs reason. No rain on radar the next 24 hours or in forecast. When I politely asked if they were short-staffed, both said (separately) "no we don't want our staff getting wet." When I offered to retrieve our orders indoors and bus our own table (again, minimal cloud coverage, no chance of rain) I was told "no". When I asked for a logical reason they were turning customers away ( 8:15 on a Friday night) the "waiter/manager" exasperated and bored sounding, said "why are we having a discussion about this". They obviously don't give a s**t about their employers' business. Or customers. Or manners. Or even trying to come up with a good lie. We are now seated on the patio of The Hound, where they welcomed us on a full patio with a sunny disposition and the ability to recognize clear skies and good business practices. (You know, just being decent, honest and respectful humans who are employed to serve customers in a restaurant with a patio. ) UPDATE: Of course it never rained. And The Hound was the silver lining in the non-clouds. What a great patio and food and service! Going to leave a review for them next.

Excellent first trip to this place. I went to the bar, which had one chair left out of about ten…read moreor so. I shoehorned myself in there and asked the guys on either side of me what they thought. One was a regular, the other also a newbie like me. The newbie said his loaded nachos were very good, but too big. I didn't want a lot. The regular told me I couldn't go wrong with the street tacos. The bartender confirmed. She was awesome, but didn't catch her name. Very nice, knowledgeable and attentive. I was going to order two steak tacos, but the bartender thought I should try the carnitas for one of them. They were both good, but the carnitas was excellent. Should have done both as carnitas! They came with a nice serving of rice and beans that were actually good! It's a big place right on Merrimon and like many restaurants on that street, parking is at a premium. There are like five spots on the side street right next to the building, but if you don't get one of those, you be walking either on the side street behind the building or across Merrimon. I was on the side street about two blocks behind the building at about 5:45pm. It's free parking, but plan accordingly. You may be walking a bit.

On a recent long weekend in Asheville, my husband and I popped in here for our first lunch after…read morebeing recommended by some local locals downtown. We both ordered the chicken Tinga tacos with rice and beans and I thought they were phenomenal, they weren't my husband's favorite, but I would definitely order again. The service was great and the ambience seems like it would be fun on a Friday or Saturday night.
