My father and I stopped by this cafe based on the recommendations online as we were traveling Blue…read moreRidge Parkway. We were not disappointed. We both ate the Tomato Basil soup as an appetizer and loved the larger pieces of tomato. My father ordered the daily special of a French dip with potato salad and I orderd the trout BLT. The French dip and trout BLT were pheomenal. I highly recommend both of them. We also both ate dessert, my father had a creme brulee donut slightly warmed up and I had the raspberry cheesecake - both were excellent. The only area for potential change is the potato salad. It wasn't bad, but not in the top 20 we've eaten. It came across as very bland with no flavor. I'd update the recipe or order a different side. Everythign else was great including the service even when the restaurant was very busy. Top marks!!

A quaint spot for a stop in the hills. Courteous and quick service. The sandwiches are good.read more

Took a ride to HNG farm on Sunday. Great selection of meats, and their "deli" meats were just…read morefabulous. I do NOT eat bologna, but my partner "snuck" a piece in my mouth without telling me what it was....I could have sworn it was high quality ham! OMG! The smoked ham was wonderful, as was the salami too. Got some andouille sausage which we had last night....oh so YUM We also had lunch there. I had their chili, really well made, lots of meat n veggies. Flavor was mild, but nice variety of hot sauces on tables allowed one to vary heat/flavor according to ones taste. I abhor chili with excessive green pepper, but HNG's was spot on. J had the hot dog which, like their bologna, was superb. Also discovered Smokin J's chipotle hot sauce, really nice flavor with medium heat, got a bottle for home. We'll be heading there again soon! And yes, HNG has both a deli counter and small cafe in the primary building, first one you come to on left of driveway.

Thankfully, she was too young to understand how bad it was; filthy dirty farm, supposedly a working farm where people buy meat? I don't eat meat but if I did I wouldn't buy it there. Their baby chickens were kept in the most horrendously filthy dirty condition; super crowded together, and a lot of the playground equipment looked like it hadn't been maintained properly in years. Granted this happened around 2017 so things could have changed a lot by now but I wouldn't know since I never went back. I want to vote for you Jamie but good God clean this up. You graduated from Warren Wilson right? Didn't they teach you godliness is next to cleanliness?

My husband had the chicken Nashville hot he enjoyed it very much. His salt and pepper fries were quite awesome as well so we may have stolen some of them. Our daughter had the chicken Caesar salad, which she enjoyed as much as she possibly could enjoy food along with her iced latte. That was fabulous. We couldn't help but come back for the Sunday brunch My husband and I had the best BLT ever, the Claud toast was out of this world as well as the Nutella latte!!! Service was great, but the food is just incredible and we will drive here from Asheville just to eat!!! Sorry, no pictures. Food is all gone.

One of the best stops we made during our vacation in North Carolina. We didn't realize there was a…read morecafe attached - we were initially stopping to see the general store. What a pleasant surprise this cafe was. Friendly service and a decent sized menu. We ordered at the counter and found a seat in the cozy back room. We would have sat outside but it was a bit too hot. The food came out hot and fast and OMG the portions were huge. I'm not kidding when I say, this was the best chicken salad I've ever had. The croissant was loaded! And so was my husband's club sandwich. The crispy Brussels were insanely good. Again, some of the best I've ever had. The gentleman that took our order came to check on us and I had to let him know that our lunch was amazing. He told us that it was his family's restaurant and they took food quality very seriously. There is NO doubt about that. I wish this place was in my backyard. Seriously the best lunch we had while on vacation!! I was told their oatmeal cream pies were a hit, so I had to get one for the road. They were not kidding. I tried to make it last a couple days to really savor the sweetness and it was torture. I wanted to inhale the cookie sandwich after the first bite. The cookie was chewy and soft, and the cream balanced it out perfectly. If the owners see this, I need a whole box shipped to me ASAP. The only thing I will note is... while browsing the general store after having lunch, I stopped to let one of the employees know that they had a great selection of items. She proceeds to look at me weird and then ask me if I had two hats on. What? She then reaches out and touches the brim of my hat. She acted like I was stealing. I took my hat off to show that I indeed only had one hat on and I was so put off by the interaction. I hadn't even tried on any of the hats they had for sale. Not sure if they have a problem with people stealing there and are just hyper vigilant, but please do not touch customers. Thank goodness the lunch was fantastic, because I would have been very upset after that interaction. Otherwise a great experience aside from that weird interaction. The general store does have a great selection of gifts and other items.

BACON, EGGS and PRIME RIB all in the same place!!…read more First off you'll walk in and find handsome butchers to cut up and package your meat perfectly lol Super nice upon entry I had to buy from these guys! Bacon and prime rib were both sliced to order. I could smell the bacon as soon as we walked in it was awesome. The fact they sell fresh eggs was a bonus. Yes, incredible bacon. Just cooked the prime rib, it was about 4.5 pounds. Simply roasted medium rare it came out amazing. I will be back next time I'm in town. Thank you!

First time trying this location and it did not disappoint. It's huge!…read more Love the cleanliness and open air feel especially during COVID. They have ample shopping carts. You're first greeted by some nice accessories and self care stuff (soaps, jewelry etc). You then see the sections which are clearly marked and well organized. Their alcohol selection is huge. The prices aren't necessarily much better than grocery store but you do have to appreciate their selection. The produce seemed decent too. If you know this place you know it's always a gamble with what they might have. I scored good snacks (usually a reliable option) and some guacamole and frozen food. They were well stocked with many things and the workers were great. I'll be back.

PAN DULCE FOR DAYS!…read more Pan Dulce is Spanish for sweet bread, basically Mexican pastries. Who knew Asheville had something like this here!? I was born and raised in Phoenix and grew up with a lot of Mexican cuisine and culture around me. They have so many Pan Dulce to pick from! They have metal trays along with tongs available for you to pick what you want then bring to the check out counter. Besides this, they had a store with shelf's full of everything you need for Mexican cooking. Some things that caught my eye were homemade tortillas and a cooler full of homemade tamales. I got some of the tortillas and they were some of the best I've had out here! The Pan Dulce all tasted very fresh, and not too sweet. I'll definitely be returning and snagging more pictures next time.
