Universal Joint for a really good burger.

I’m up there several times a year for work and have been the last 4-5 years. Usually eat downtown or in West Asheville. Haven’t been everywhere but here’s some of my thoughts:
BBQ- 12 Bones, Luella’s and Buxton Hall. In that order, though all are good. Buxton is Whole Hog bbq, the others more conventional
Mexican- Mamacitas, Zia, White Duck and Salsa’s. White Duck has great tacos but I prefer the crowd/atmosphere/ set up and Mamacitas or Zia. Salsa’s is Mexican/ Latin American fusion. Good stuff.
Pizza- Asheville Pizza Co. is OK. Freshwood is a Neopolitan place. Not really my thing but others seem to like it. Barleys is where I find myself most. Laid back pizzeria and taproom with pretty decent pies.
Italian- Only one still open that I’ve been too is Strada, but I like it. The pizza there is pretty good too.
Burgers- Farm Burger is fantastic. Likewise is the Bison Burger at Wicked Weed.
Breakfast- Early Girl or Tupelo Honey
Seafood- Took a customer once to the Lobster Trap and it was surprisingly pretty damn good. But why eat seafood in the mountains.
Just about all the Breweries have good food. Wicked Weed is great. Even better now that some of the locals shun it. Make sure to get the Brussels sprouts.
Pubs- Jack of the Wood and Packs Tavern have some good pub food
Music Venue- Isis Music Hall and The Gray Eagle are nice venues with real good food
Others worth checking out:
Chestnut
Curate’- Not my thing but if you like Tapas go
Rhubarb
Black Bird Cafe- Pretentious but good
Twisted Laurel
I thought the Admiral was overrated but people love it
I’m sure I’m forgetting some. If you get over to Black Mountain they have some great lunch spots

Bouchon - go on unlimited mussels and frites night
Posted on 8/4/19 at 7:39 am to i am dan
Pernicious IPA is my new favorite. Ate at Tupelo Honey last night. Meh. White Duck Taco was probably my favorite place so far. Eating at Curate tonight. Thanks for all the recs.

Though it seems popular, Curate is, in my opinion, overrated for my tastes.
We are off to Charlotte. Thanks for all the recs. Asheville was a fun place and, overall, very satisfied with the food we had. Also, the atmosphere everywhere was casual.
Oh, btw, we ate at the restaurant to the right of the Biltmore home (near the gift shop). I had the brisket and it was very good.

This. Went to Bouchon last week. It was very good. Casual and unpretentious. Food was great. Didn’t go on Monday for all you can eat mussels. Everything was delicious.

All very good, but my favorite is Sunny Point Cafe. Get there early - usually a wait.
