Diner that serves full menu all day!

Been a few times and it's ok. Price is right and the service is always quick and friendly. Bacon is obviously put in the fryer which takes away all of its flavor. Not bad if you are looking for pancakes and scrambled eggs.

My wife and I ate here with friends when we were visiting them in the Weaverville area. Â The pizza was one of the best we have eaten and we certainly recommend this restaurant. Â Staff was professional and courteous. Â Food arrived after a reasonable wait. Â Ate here on a Sunday afternoon and the restaurant was pretty crowded but still the wait was not too long. Â We lucked out and got a parking place right in front of the restaurant. Â I am not very familiar with the area but it looked as if parking could be a problem at very crowded times.

The Twisted Laurel West has a great staff and managers. Definitely a âgo-toâ place, whether visited after work or on the weekend. Great atmosphere. Nikki, the bartender, does a great job and is one of the friendliest bartenders Iâve ever met. I havenât been in for a while, but Nikki knew me the moment I sat down and was right there to take my drink order. A great place! Donât miss it if youâre in Asheville. â¤ï¸Cynthia, thank you! This is exactly what we love to hear from our guests, and will share your sweet words with the staff - especially Nikki.Providing excellent food and service is what we aim for and appreciate when folks like you take the time to let us know and leave a 5 Star Review.

My girlfriend & I visited while on vacation and ordered the sampler dinner and loved it! The meat was all perfectly cooked and the grits were amazing. The Mac and cheese was just okay, could have been creamier (too much flour maybe?). We loved he variety of sauces available but the little cups are hard to carry back (maybe add some small trays?). Service was great, we felt so welcome and appreciated.

We continue to go back to this cozy cafe that never disappoints, and impresses our guests with attentive, friendly staff and interesting decor (glass onions!) But more importantly, Glass Onion amazes every time with the fresh, artisanal craft of this kitchen!! Can't say enough good things about our great experiences here and will continue to dream about the "Now Famous Coconut Cake": my favorite, but wishing I had more!!

This is a delightful spot. There is almost always some form of entertainment, and itâs usually really good. (If youâre unfamiliar with whoâs playing, you can usually listen to a sample on this venueâs website.) The acoustics are quite good. The ambiance is friendly; even though they manage to pack a lot of patrons into the space, itâs likely youâll be seated next to simpatico people with whom you might share a conversation. And the food is imaginativeâand absolutely delicious. (Our nachos, for instance, were amazingâand boasted a good amount of duck.) My only âcomplaintâ with the food was that their online menu showed offerings that werenât on the actual menu. Prices for wine are fairly reasonable. The servers tend to be a bit abrupt; however, when one is trying to serve myriad tables at essentially the same time, there is no time for a lot of chit-chat.

I had heard of this place but finally visited on my list trip to Asheville. Why did I wait so long!there is a good chance you will have a wait for your table but coffee and pleasant surroundings are provided. Our server took non- standard orders from our party of 9 from memory. No mistakes! The food was all freshly cooked and serving size allowed us to remember the place once again when having a late night snack. AND you can bring your dog!

WOW! A very unassuming storefront restaurant in West Asheville, you would never expect the quality of food and reasonableness of the wine list that youâll get at Jargon. A small Southern menu, with interesting appetizers (shareable) and an eclectic wine list of broad variety. The Hushpuppies are fabulous. The shrimp and grits delicious and very reasonably priced ($17). The pear dessert is off the charts. A canât miss choice. Our wait person, Andrea, was very knowledgeable and greatly helped with our food and wine choices. A minimalist vibe and excellent food.

We really like this place, much larger on the inside than looks outside because there are three sections, none of where tables are not crowded. Service is charming, helpful and attentive. Menu offers a wide variety of meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner and drinks. Servings are perfectly prepared, ample portions, well presented, very tasty. Servers here are special, courteous, friendly, sweet ladies who make you feel welcome like you have just come home for a meal with friends. Welcoming for family meals, couples and business meals. Highly recommend it. Enjoy!

Reviewed By AlisonFromFareham
We moved here recently and have eaten here a number of times. Sometimes it has been wonderful and others not so much. So we figured, you have to know whatâs really good and stick with that. We love supporting local family owned businesses and places that try. We are still working our way through the menu, but so far we can wholeheartedly recommend the fried catfish - fresh, light, excellent - and the first rate hand pattied hamburgers made from local grass fed beef. We had a great bbq sandwich too. Far too good, however, are the home made desserts. The chef regularly makes several pies and cakes, and some of them rank up there with high end expensive bakery fare. Home made pecan pie or a slice of apple or carrot cake were way beyond good. The service is always charming if you have a soft spot for high schoolers learning on the job, which we have. Their desire to please is high. Not sure where the reviewer who complained about parking ate, but it couldnât have been here? Itâs a big, convenient lot for a smallish place on the main road through town and we usually park right by the door. The wooden pew seats and the old photos of local places and people give it a homely feel. We like it and come back often.
