Club???
Tebbe D.

They have new owners here boy it went downhill. I had a sandwich. It's called Brenda club. It was not a club was not toasted. It was no mayonnaise. There was no nothing on it. It was laziest sandwich I ever ate. I didn't even eat the bread. it wasn't toasted. It was thick, thick, thick sandwich. No person in America could fit their mouth around the sandwich so I had to deconstructed eat it piece by piece. Do not recommend ever.

My family and I were visiting Black Mountain and decided to stop here for lunch. We decided the sit outside since it was a nice day. The waitress was friendly and the food came out fast. I was pleased to see that they offer gluten free bread as a substitute. I ordered the Asian chicken wrap on GF bread and it came with some chips on the side. The sandwich was pretty good and the vegetables inside tasted fresh. Overall, this was a good, quick little lunch spot with a decent variety of menu options!

Veranda is a happening spot in Black Mountain. I was lucky to score a table without a wait. They offer both inside and outside dining. I chose inside but next time will sit outside as I've read about the view the outside dining provides. I liked that the menu provided a good selection of sandwiches and salads. I went with the tuna salad and it came with chips. It was very good but the dessert was out of this world. The chocolate peanut butter pie was such a treat and a great way to end the meal. Veranda is on my list to return again.

Veranda has been the staple restaurant on Cherry Street in downtown Black Mountain and it never disappoints!! Cute interior, usually bustling with people because it's normally packed during lunchtime. If you are waiting for a table, they have some cute items to purchase in the lobby...funny cards, tea, towels, etc. The food and service were excellent, as always!!

So great I ended up coming back twice! Great options for salads, sandwiches and a few kids meals. The PB&J was nothing special, but the kids LOVED the mini hotdogs they had. I had a sandwich one day and a salad the next. While the salad was tasty, but the Bombay Wrap was perfect. If you've ever been to europe, you know the curry sandwiches/wraps in most convenience stores? This is what they aspire to be. The Vegetarian sandwich was over stuffed with fresh vegies. My wife really enjoyed it. My father-in law got the Tuna, but I didn't get to try it. The place itself was really busy, but still felt intimate. A great place for a sit down. Sadly, we got take out both times - which the wrapped up nicely. the only downside was they didn't have cold-water to go. (You can go across the street to the icecream place for that though). Pro tip: There is 10 minute parking out front -so call your order in and there's a good chance you'll be able to snag a spot for quick pickup right out front.

Delicious food. High quality. Husband had the elderberry lemonade, yum! Friendly staff and didn't really have to wait to get seated. Would come back!

Thanks to fellow yelpers for us to choose this place for lunch while visiting Black Mountain this week. We dined outside , at one of the few tables available out there, and devoured our sandwiches. Hubby selected turkey brie with cranberry chutney and the brie was nice and gooey from the toasting. The staff indulged me with allowing me to create my own sandwich on cranberry nut bread with sharp cheddar, povelone, chutney, and veggies. Hubby ordered the Hungarian paprika mushroom soup that was a bit thick. Dessert options looked homemade and tempting. So many large cookies in this area, seems to be a must for these cafes! Service was friendly and the place was hopping! We put our names down and then shopped next store. Less than 30 minutes and they called us to say table was ready. Landlines still have a purpose!

Roast beef and creamy potato soup
Lindsay W.

Great lunch spot, cute interior, mason jars for glasses and some beautiful local art on the walls. I had the roast beef and creamy potato soup, the sandwich was excellent but the soup was just ok. My partner had the tuna salad and tomato crab chowder, both of which were excellent. Service was great as well. Not picture is the carrot cake slice I got to go, excellent portion, HUGE walnuts throughout.

I LOVE veranda's. The food, atmosphere and service is excellent. Love the location as well. I wish they were open longer.

The Stevo, today's daily special 11/9/20 with Indian Summer Salad on the side.

I had high hopes stopping into Veranda for lunch. The reviews were excellent, the food looked great, and it had a wonderfully charming interior. Sadly, it didn't live up to expectations. The FOH manager was kind enough to take my name and number and gave me a call when an outdoor table was ready to seat my party. Warning: if you're eating on their patio and it's even slightly windy outside, dress warm! The height of the second-story patio meant a constant breeze was blowing and as it's covered, there was no sun to warm us so I froze my butt off. I tried their special of the day, the Stevo. Thinly sliced beef with sauteed onions, pepperoncini, provolone cheese, and chipotle ranch on toasted sourdough. It comes with a side of chips but after asking whether they fry their chips in-house (nope), I opted for their Indian Summer Salad which is composed of white corn, peas, green beans, green pepper, and onions in a sweet vinagrette. The sandwich itself was underwhelming. The bread, while nicely toasted, tasted more like plain white bread than sourdough and could've used a light coat of butter. The beef was fine, if unremarkable, and I couldn't detect the chipotle ranch or a spread of any kind. The worst part of the meal was the salad; it tasted as though it was dressed in simple syrup rather than a vinaigrette. No acidity to speak of, and just unrelenting sweetness. The service was fine, everyone was pleasant to deal with, and prices weren't outrageous. Cute and quaint as it was, the enjoyment factor just wasn't there and I'm not sure I'd give Veranda another shot.

The Chicken Gyro with garden salad

We eat at Veranda's Labor Day at lunch , there was a slight wait but nothing too crazy, the ambiance is really good, we were served our drinks in a reasonable amount of time and the appetizer ( the soup was delicious see the picture for the proof ) . They were out of a few items but no big deal. They were busy but the staff was hustling. The floor and tables were clean and the sound levels acceptable. The waitress warmed us they were a little slow with service. Not too much of a wait, good portion sizes. The food itself very very good. If you are in the Black Mountain area it is worth the time.

Great local beers!

See all

Lunch was quickly served and I loved the summer salad (made me think of my grandmother). Lovely place though a bit noisy when crowded

The one who suggested this restaurant told the other right upfront that it's the best for this area of North Carolina and it is not Cuban food of Miami. The restaurant was busy, and of course tables are limited because of its size, but the owners were very accommodating and we appreciate that very much There is a back parking lot with three spaces, but they are for pick up only but we were given permission to use one as we had a handicap individual with us. My Cuban sandwich was just fine and tasted just like the one I had in Miami in my opinion as a gringo and everyone finished their meal without sending anything back so I would say the food was pretty good The restaurant is a order at the counter and staff will deliver it to your table. There is one unisex bathroom for All and I'm not sure about everyone else but of course our service dog was allowed. I did see two other dogs so I can only assume that pets are allowed as those two were not marked as service animals at all. I cannot think of anything that would cause me not to give this Restaurant a full five star rating

The Cuban sandwich is a great experience of flavor and well done masterpiece... All the personnel welcome you and treat you as part of the family. I truly recommended for Breakfast and for lunch.

Whoa. Maybe one of the better breakfast's I've ever had and that's saying a lot for me -- I love…read morebreakfast. We got the brunch board that had chocolate chip pancakes, Belgium waffles, pancakes with strawberries and French toast. Just wow. So, so good. Very cool place. Great service.

Second visit to the kitchen, and with food this good, there will definitely be more in the future!…read moreWe visited on a very cold morning, and orders are placed outside on the porch before entering. That's fine in normal cold weather, but at 22 degrees the overhead heaters just don't quite cut it. I think this part of the experience could use a little revision. My wife had pancakes with vanilla syrup and sausage. I ordered the classic breakfast with eggs, grits, sausage, and toast. Everything was very flavorful. My only complaint was that my food was lukewarm. It seemed like my food may have been finished and sat for a few minutes while my wife's pancakes were completed. On a cold morning, I would have preferred a hotter meal, the grits weren't warm enough to melt the butter, and the toast was cold, so I didn't even attempt to butter it. That said, even with the temperature issue, the food was still very tasty, and given how cold it was outside, I'm willing to let it slide. Everything arrived quickly, and the restaurant itself is very quaint, set in an old home that is very clean. On our first visit, they offered chocolate chip cookies to go, and they were excellent! They didn't have any this time, but we'll be back again to try our luck. To those about to nosh, I salute you!!
