Food was just ok. I got the pulled pork platter with sweet potato fries and Mac and cheese. I also got a rib for an appetizer to give it a try. I think it was the winner of the whole meal. The meat was so tender it fell right off the bone and the flavor was perfectly smoky. I had it with the spicy bbq sauce. The pulled pork was ok. I might not have enjoyed it as much as I would have if I were hungrier. This place was right next to the hotel I stayed at (walking distance) so it was convenient for a quick meal. The staff was super friendly.

I am going to leave as honest review as I can, and it's based on personal experience and preferences. The Brisket plate came with a small to medium size serving of brisket slices neatly arranged with two small bowls containing my sides and cornbread (cake). The Brisket was very tender, not very moist but you had a choice of 4 sauces, I found the Bold Sauce to be my favorite with just a hint of heat on the backside. Sides: The potato salad was fantastic! Absolutely loved this non mustard mix (and I do love mustard too). Mac & cheese was a flavorless soup, elbow noodles in a cream type sauce that had no discernable flavor (salt & pepper to the rescue). Cornbread (cake) is an absolutely non southern style and sweet as yellow cake. Good but should be offered as dessert. Service was good, very nice waitress and good relaxing atmosphere. Would I go back? Absolutely, want to get more of that potato salad!

My wife and I ate here today while returning home from a trip to Asheville. It looked really crowded when we arrived about 2:00. I had a difficult time finding a place to park. I checked with the hostess and was surprised she could seat us right then. Our waitress took our order right away we were eating within 10 minutes of arrival. I ordered the pull pork sandwich with sweet potatoe fries. They were pretty good, although no where near the best I've ever eaten. My wife ordered a 1/2 rack of ribs with potatoe salad and corn. I tasted the ribs and agreed with her they were ok, but certainly not the best we've ever had. Maybe just a little over cooked. There was only 1 rest room and both male and females were lined up to get in. We both passed on that! Overall the food was ok, although a little over priced. The service was very good and the atmosphere was ok.

My boyfriend and I stopped here after doing some fall activities with our two fur babies. We called ahead and made sure they had dog friendly patio. They did. When we got there we noticed it was a little crowded (great sign right!!!) so we asked if we could sit at this little table away from everyone. We know not everyone is dog people and we didn’t wanna bother anyone. They were so accommodating and let us sit there away from everyone. The server was absolutely amazing! She was soooooo sweeet! (Will update when I find the receipt with her name) but the fooooood was soooooo good. I got the pulled chicken plate with fries and Mac and cheese! Let me start off and say this was the BEST Mac and cheese I have EVER HAD! They also give you a piece of cornbread and well and that corn bread was sooooooo good! The entire meal and experience was hands down the best. It was the first time we have been there but IT WILL NOT BE THE LAST!! We live 2 hours away but every time we come up that way to do mountain activities we WILL stop there! If you’re in the area you must stop here!!! 10/10 recommend! 💙

Young lady behind the bar is an asset to the business. Friendly and excellent company. My apologies, I kept calling her Deborah, but if the business would, please provide this review with her name. She deserves to be recognized. Again, excellent atmosphere, food and service.

The food is always great here. Some items are overpriced in my opinion (8.99 for a side salad). They have outdoor seating and dogs are welcome. Our favorites are the bbq, cornbread and pizzas (wood fired). Its a great stop for when you aren't sure what you are in the mood for because they have a little of everything. They have a nice variety of salads as well.

We recently stayed in Flat Rock, NC, for a family reunion. Several family members selected Flat Rock Wood Room for lunch between activities on a Thursday afternoon. We chose to eat on their porch. Our server was the same person that seated us when we arrived. She did an excellent job during our entire dining experience. She was quick and accurate in both taking and delivering our food selections. My daughter is a vegetarian, and she ordered the Veggie Panino (Fior di latte mozzarella, roasted onion, roasted green pepper, roasted egg plant, Roma tomato, and arugula) with a side of chips. My wife ordered the Fork and Knife Sandwich (Pulled smoked pork piled on house made cornbread and topped with shredded cheddar cheese and competition BBQ glaze) with a side of baked beans. I ordered the Brisket French Dip Sandwich (Horsey sauce and provolone cheese) with a side of Collard Greens. Many of us added barbecue sauces to our food from the many selections available on the table. Everyone in the group was happy with the flavors of choices we made. If our Saturday evening dinner was not also barbecue, we would have returned again on Saturday to have lunch at Flat Rock Wood Room.

Our first visit to Flatrock playhouse. We are seniors & disabled. The traffic was very heavy so we ran late. We were greeted by an usher that barked 2 min. to curtain. The auditorium was black as the play began with a dark film. Rather than wait she walked us to our row, but we could not see the seats. Fortunately near the isle. Others entered late as well - but after there was lights to see. Honestly, the rude welcome eft me quite upset. The play is outstanding - actors & set. All that to say, we all have unavoidable delays. We live 2 hr away. Will the management please instruct ushers to be sensitive to special needs. Such a fine job by all others. We were never given a play bill. The woman seating us needs to avoid working with the public. ... shameful. We'd been told by friends to come - but I doubt we can recommend this theater. Sad.

In all my visits to the Flat Rock Playhouse, I never knew there was a garden. I had seen the flowers around the house before, but if you keep going, there is a large area to walk around to get away from it all. There are some sculptures among the plants and flowers. I liked the goats. Make sure to check it out before a show. I am more amazed each time I come how well thought out the Flat Rock Playhouse is to getting everyone situated with parking, to making sure everyone gets to the correct seat. There isn't much space for parking, so they pack the cars in tight. This is a problem if you need or want to leave early, as you are stuck. But they make do with the space they have. The quality of the shows is outstanding as they get fantastic actors and have great costumes, sets, and music. This year I saw the Michael Jackson show, Beautiful, and Murder on the Orient Express. I'd have season tickets if I lived closer. I am wondering what shows will be playing for the next season.

I recently took my daughter to see The Play That Goes Wrong at Flat Rock Playhouse, and we were absolutely blown away! It was her very first live theater experience, and I couldn’t have chosen a better venue to introduce her to the magic of the stage. As someone who’s seen many Broadway productions, I was genuinely impressed by the caliber of talent on display. The cast was hilarious, the comedic timing impeccable, and the energy in the room was contagious. The set design and production quality were professional, detailed and incredibly well-executed. The venue itself is cozy and charming, which makes the experience feel all the more intimate and special. There’s not a bad seat in the house, and you can tell the staff and performers truly care about delivering a memorable experience. Flat Rock Playhouse is a true gem in the North Carolina theater scene. We’ll absolutely be back for future shows. Highly recommend to both seasoned theatergoers and first-timers alike!

Wonderful production of The Orient Express! A little delightful humor added to the script that kept the audience engaged. The Playhouse was very nice, quaint. And the staff was excellent. The visit was a great experience. We'll definitely return.

We’ve been going to The Playhouse ever since we moved to Flat Rock (actually slightly before!). It’s been very, very good. The quality is amazing! The musicals are our favorite. We saw Gypsy, A Chorus Line, South Pacific, Mama Mia (both productions), Beautiful, and Jersey Boys! All were thoroughly great! We saw three plays: Dixie Swim Club, The Play that goes Wrong, and Clue. Dixie was super funny. The play that goes wrong was silly but fun. Clue was the only thing we saw that was not to our liking. The experience is really nice. They handle parking well and it’s only about a mile from our community so it’s convenient! The Playhouse is such a huge asset to our community!

We saw Murder on the Orient Express.The show was amazing. The actors were fantastic. Everyone was SO friendly. The parking could have been a nightmare, but was organized surprisingly well. Why 3 stars? The setup of the theater is not good for shorter people. I couldn't see a thing without doing a constant strain and bobble head dance. Heads were blocking the stage as far as four rows in front of me. I'd either need to sit in the very front row, or the very back row with cushions so I didn't block someone behind me.

One of the best times we have had! Our whole family loved it! Great venue. Ushers are super nice. Have concessions was a great perk. Will definitely go back.

I stopped by the house on July 3rd as part of my quest to visit all 100 counties. I was not expecting it to be quite so busy so early! I arrived even before the visitor's center was open. I had researched before and knew there would be detours and limited sites at the actual house, but I wasn't expecting the hiker's lot to be full. That meant parking in the main lot which involves a steeper hike. The hike, however, was still moderate, even in warm weather and once you are up the hill there are several other trails, outbuildings, the house itself (gift shop and exterior), a junior ranger stop where a short film plays, and the goats of course. You can actually pet the goats but I recommend bringing your own biodegradable wipes and/or water for drinking and cleaning as those amenities are still limited. I did see the shuttles around, but I didn't try to use them. I enjoyed my visit but should have climbed with my hiking pack and water.

Call Sandburg is an important historical figure. The 4 huge volumes he wrote on President Lincoln alone qualify, add books of the common man's poetry. Then the goat barn, there are plenty, with new babies born each spring. Lovely trails of all abilities on 245 acres in the Blue Ridge mountain range. The home is a National Historic site and is a wonderful stop on your travels. Free tours of the house are on the top of the hour and probably last 20 minutes.

I enjoy visiting the goats that were raised by Carl Sandburg's wife and daughter. You can hike the trails, pet the goats, and brush them, making it a great experience for both children and adults. Dogs are welcome as long as they are on a leash, but they are not allowed in the barnyard with the goats. The only admission fee applies to the house, so be sure to check the times, days, and cost for the guided tour of the home.

All the things you didn't know that you didn't know about Carl Sandberg. Our guide for the tour of the house, Diane, was so informative, and made the presentation fun and interesting. We learned so much and really enjoyed ourselves. Just a precaution: the park still has damage from Hurricane Helene, so you can't get through some parts of the trails. Don't let that stop you from going. The house and grounds are all ready for visitors.

Was in the area and looking for something to do happened upon Carl sandburg's home figured I'd see what it was about you've got two options to get to the house either take the shuttle or walk we chose to walk and it was very pleasant the unfortunate thing is it's a little longer walk because the bridge is out but they have a detour walking route we got a tour of the house from a wonderful tour guide she was very informative and insightful definitely learned a lot of things about Carl Sandburg that we did not know about the house tour takes about 30 minutes afterwards you can go to the goat Barn area and pet some goats it was a wonderful day trip activity

Interesting place but the main walking trail to the house from the parking area has been washed out. Alternate trail is longer, uphill and rough. Save the walk and wait for a shuttle van.

Intesterting stop. There is a short walk down to where you can see the home on the mountain. There is damage form the Hurricane last year that has the bridge destroyed to get to the house, but they have a detour for those who desire to go to the house to walk. It's alway great to learn about any National Historic Site!

Great local park for kids of all ages. Lots of climbing obstacles, slides and swings and the rubber padding has extra cushion! Only downfall was the traffic that speeds in the parking lot. Speed bumps would be a great addition.

I love it here... especially for the walking trails that are dog-friendly. It's a huge park, lots of shade... and great tennis courts, too!

My go-to Park for dog walking. I love this family-friendly Park that is large enough to usually find an out-of-the-way spot from others to spend outdoor time with my dog. I appreciate relaxing, looking at nature and also the flowers at the Cooperative Extension.

Our favorite for sliding and climbing. Well kept as far as cleanliness. Could use a few benches strategically placed so parents can have a better sight line to kiddos. Other than that.. Perfect

This park is a hidden gem and worth the hour drive for us to come here! Our son loves the slides built into the sloped ground. Plenty of parking available, but it does get very busy.

Jackson Park has an AMAZING NEW handicap / wheelchair accessible playground and wheelchair swing!! This place is revolutionary for the area and brings a beautiful attraction to the area! Killer swings, slides, merry go rounds that have a seat and is flush with the ground for special needs. This place made my heart melt :):)

This is an awesome in town park. It’s big, many trails including bike, hiking. Frisbee golf, cook out spots, several base ball fields. Great place to bring your dog and throw its toy

We have now gotten two custom cakes from this bakery for each of my daughter’s birthdays. One Frozen themed party and one outer space (“two the moon”) themed party. Both times they absolutely nailed the looks we were going for. We keep coming back because the cakes are also DELICIOUS. 10/10, no question we will be back for our next event!

I really liked the chocolate chewy cookie, but the rest was just okay. The price was ok on most items compared to other bakeries so that was good. A couple staff were friendly but the one taking my order seemed like she really didn't want to get my order. Overall it wasn't a bad experience but I won't make the long drive to go back.

We asked this bakery to make a gender reveal cake for us and they exceed our expectations! Not only was the cake beautiful and exactly what we asked for, but it was honestly one of the most delicious cakes I’ve eaten! They also worked with us on our tight deadline and got it to us within a week. We received so many compliments on the cake as well and many people asking where it was from. Would highly recommend McFarlan Bake Shop, thanks for helping make our gender reveal so special! 💗

What's good at McFarlan Bake Shop? Everything! The cinnamon rolls are to die for, and their donuts are equally amazing. We had some happy kiddos (and adults!) after visiting here. Check it out!

It is rare to find a ‘real’ bakery these days. You know, the kind where their products are made from scratch and are so delicious. Well, this is one of those places. What a great surprise to discover this spot while visiting Hendersonville, NC. The cinnamon rolls are the best I’ve ever tasted. Their cookies are fresh, tasty, and addictive. Don’t miss this place when you visit the area.

Just amazing! We found McFarlan on a trip to the Asheville area and instantly knew we needed to have their donuts at our wedding. Some of the best apple fritters, cinnamon rolls, and traditional donuts we’ve ever had. The cake they made for our wedding was literally the best cake we’ve ever had! We were blown away. Their team was always friendly, professional, and so easy to work with. We will be back!

I have grown up on Mcfarlans and always loved them. You can’t go wrong with anything there! I wanted to comment on the decorators they have there now. I didn’t give them a lot of direction other than please include a “train,” but they created the sweetest cake for my son! It is SO cute and delicious! McFarlans will always be our favorite place for sweet treats!

Wow — what an amazing breakfast! The apple butter chicken biscuit was INSANELY good — such a creative, cozy autumn twist on a classic breakfast favorite. The hashbrowns were perfectly crispy, the ranch was on point, and those Nashville hot chicken pickles? Absolute perfection. We couldn’t resist grabbing a dozen donuts to go — the apple one was especially delicious (though honestly, they’re all amazing!). A special shoutout to the guy at the register — friendly, funny, and full of that wicked sense of humor that instantly made us feel right at home. We’ll definitely be back — this spot is a total gem!

We stopped by for an early lunch. We had the Nashville Hot chicken biscuit sandwich (which was spicy) and the Apple Cheddar chicken biscuit sandwich). Along with a turtle cheesecake donut (very rich) and a blueberry lemon donut. Fast service, outdoor seating (so dog friendly) and reasonable prices. I try to support local businesses as often as possible on vacation

Oh my goodness I fell in love with this place instantly. Donuts are HEAVENLY, specialty lattes are FIRE (I got Caramel Apple Butter latte and wow), and the fried chicken is so flavorful. I wish I lived closer so I could come back regularly.

I got a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit and a Boston crème. The biscuit was soft with a garlic buttery taste, cooked to perfection! The donut was rather dense, however the crème in the middle was delicious, and very soft pillowy breading. I wanted more, but could only eat 1! Highly recommend!!

Absolutely phenomenal breakfast! We got the chicken biscuit and egg and cheese biscuit along with a chocolate frosted donut and a caramel espresso donut. This place makes me sad I don’t live here!

I very rarely leave reviews because I think a person's experience with a restaurant or business, ect. is subjective. What I may love, you may not so I just keep my opinions to myself. But HenDough....wow!! I LOVE this restaurant!! I got the Nashville Hot Chicken biscuit (with no pickles because I hate pickles 🤮) with a side of smoked gouda macaroni and cheese. It was unbelievable!! The chicken was perfect but that macaroni was out of this world!! I haven't stopped thinking about HenDough since that day. I wish there was one in Boiling Springs SC so I could eat there everyday! The owner was absolutely awesome and seemed like such a good guy. We did get some doughnuts too and they were phenomenal!! Its my new favorite restaurant ❤️

This place is amazing! You order at the counter and can take it to go or seat yourself. There's seating upstairs, too. They give you a buzzer to grab your food when it's ready. They have coffee and a coke fountain machine. The donuts are amazing and fresh. We took a few with us when we were done. The biscuits with sausage gravy was like mom makes! We also enjoyed a delicious chicken biscuit. Service was courteous and fast. Next time we’re here for vacation we will definitely coming back.

The Beatles theme is cute and unique. Our server was friendly and our good got there quickly. There were not many vegetarian or vegan options. You had to go up a set of stairs to get into the building, so it is not friendly for people with mobility issues. I personally would not return just due to lack of options for myself, but my friend enjoys it.

Rare hidden gem. A place full of Beatles memorabilia and good food too. We ate crab omelets with a potato casserole unlike any I've eaten before. Fresh from scratch biscuits and Chai tea. All was wonderful. Service was great. It was a fun place to dine.

Arrived on a Sunday around 10am. I ordered the waffle of the day (pecan) and my friend the biscuits and gravy. My waffle tasted like it was cooked a day ago and even had a refrigerated flavor. The pecans were just spread on top and weren't baked into it. The bacon was awesome though. They also had a sign up that they were closing at 1 (hours on door say 2) which I have seen other reviewers mention so it must happen fairly often. I'll try other places around HVille rather than return here next time I'm visiting.

This is the best place for breakfast and lunch. These folks really care about the quality of their food. Service is exceptional and the price is right. Geez I wish I could have posted a picture of my delicious Sunday brunch but I ate it all up. Super huge bonus......Perfect 5 star sweet tea! Great coffee too. Purposeful and strong.

Just left and we really enjoyed coming to Mean Mr. Mustard. I created my own omelette and it was delicious. Two drawbacks, hot Chai Tea wasn't hot (mildly warm) and the portion of a side of the cheesy potatoes was really tiny. Pros: cheesey potatoes, omelette, pancake, atmosphere Cons: portion sizes were a bit small on the add ons and tea was warm.

This burger cost me $9. I also ordered it medium, not extra well done. They also do not have French fries. The "loaded potato salad" was decent, as well as the blueberry pancakes. We had three burgers and two blueberry pancakes, and it came out to about $50. There was no Beatles music playing or anything, just a few pictures on the wall.

This is the coolest place!!! “Beatle” based with a fun atmosphere! The food has been awesome every visit!! Great coffee/expresso!! Cool owner that will occasionally surface from the kitchen and visit the tables!! Best breakfast/brunch food in town!! Omelets are off the chart!!

Last time I visited the pub was about 3 years ago. The food back then was amazing! So I came back hoping to have a similar experience. I didn’t. I got the fish and chips, same as before, but they were nothing special. Certainly nothing to be “famous” for. The cole slaw was decent, and the chips, the best part. The mashed potatoes had an enormous amount of garlic, way too much to be enjoyable. Good selection of beer. Service was friendly and attentive, and the food came out in a timely manner. Unfortunately, I’d probably seek out somewhere different to eat, the next time I’m in the area.

I really hate leaving less than 4 star reviews and had high hopes for this establishment. I love Irish Pubs & Restaurants, but a friend and I stopped in here during the weekend of the Apple Festival around 8:30pm to grab dinner and we stood at the hostess stand waiting (only ones in line) for about 8 minutes before anyone acknowledged us and sat us. It took just as long to get drink orders and another 10 minutes before drinks arrived. A simple water and bottled beer. We had picked out what to order ahead of time from their menu online since we had come from out of time and we were starving, but neither were made available during that time due to a very limited 1 page printed menu, in which the food took extremely long to come out and we ended up taking it to go. They were NOT slammed at this point in the night. The man who served us was not very friendly either. I understand working under high stress. Ive done it. Ive worked Irish Pub st patty day... I get it.

We stopped here after spending the day around town and it was worth the trip and the money. Portion sizes are appropriate for the prices and the quality of food is great. I got the lamb gyros( yes I know not Irish food in an Irish pub) and they were delicious. I do plan on coming back to try other dishes in the near future.

This was mine and my partners first visit. The staff was friendly and the food was very good, with very nice portions. I had the half portion of Cornbeef and Cabbage, but it felt like it was a full-size portion, and I couldn't get over it. We were very pleased.

I eat here once or twice a year. I always enjoy it. They have some great dishes on the menu. There's only been one visit where I wasn't happy with my food. Most of the time it's been excellent.

Ok seriously this place is 6 stars!!! The fried pickles were some of the best I have had. They it says spicy because apparently they normally include some jalapenos, but my wife and kids were afraid it would be too spicy. Our waitress had them do pickles only which was perfect for the family. The house made Ranch dressing was so good you could dip anything in it and make it better. But the pickles has a great batter, I was good either way. I wish I had gotten some of the Jalapenos too, I but they are amazing too. The Quality and Quantity at this place were both great. My wife and I split the Reuben and Irish Dip. Reuben was knock your socks off good. One of the best I have ever had. The Irish dip was also very good. I got the Crispy Onions as a side which were good plain and dipped in that amazing ranch. My wife got the O'Briens potatoes. Those were pretty amazing as well. Look at those chicken tenders. Huge, meaty, and cooked to perfection. My daughter got the burger also good. Seriously nothing we ate here was below excellent. I can't say enough about this place. Our Waitress was amazing!!! The food was amazing. I live in a different state, and we will probably make it back there some how just to get that Reuben and Fried Pickles again.

Great little breakfast spot l, with lots of nostalgia to look at. They have lunch as well but we only did breakfast

Food was great! I can tell the salad was fresh and not over seasoned. The gyro had a good amount of lamb. Good portion of food for lunch! The lady at the front was kind, the place is small but it's clean and organized.

Authentic locally-owned Middle Eastern diner, entirely staffed by an older couple from the Levant. Unfortunately, that's the end of the good news. The food is just okay --- the Greek salad is built on a bed of cheap iceberg lettuce --- although the pita bread is top notch. The portions are modest and the meals overpriced, served on styrofoam plates with plastic utensils. They hand you a styrofoam to+go cup and you go fill your drink. At least it's consistent. You place your order at a makeshift little window that makes you feel like you're still in the middle of the pandemic, They do bring your food to the table. Everything else --- including bussing --- is strictly self-serve. You know, it wouldn't be so bad if the meals were, say, $6 to $12. But at $10 to $15 a plate, I just expect a better dining experience.

Full of character and charm, Pita Express won my heart the minute I walked in the door. It's a small restaurant with a fantastic vibe and absolutely delicious food. The falafel sandwich 🥙 was one of the best I've had. A generous serving with all the right ingredients. I ordered a side Greek salad which was equally as good and has just the right amount of dressing and goat cheese - yum 😋! And the owner who serves you with a big smile is also a belly dancer teacher! Trying to talk my wife into some lessons...trust me you would not want to see me belly dancing. The food I consume these reviews tends to land directly there, it would not be very pretty I have to say, this is the first restaurant I've been to that offers actual lessons. Been to a few Morocon restaurants that had belly dancers, but let's not digress. Pita Express, a great place for lunch, and they serve what looks like a fantastic breakfast. I saw a lamb omelette on the menu, so I will have to come back for a visit!

Gyro sandwich & a fountain drink was about $13. Not bad. Gyro was good, service was fairly quick. No complaints. Cash only though!! They have an ATM there if you need. I'll be back again to try more menu items.

Owners are very accommodating to dietary restrictions. Tonight we had vegan moussaka, filled with eggplant and cauliflower. The flavor was incredibly intense and the texture was super creamy. If you live in the area be sure to get on the email list so you always know what the Friday night special is and order early in the week.

A small slice of Mediterranean food heaven! From the outside it doesn't look like much but the service is warm and friendly and the food fresh, authentic and delicious. The Turkish coffee is the best I've ever had.

I wish we could allot half stars. So I really enjoyed the food it was really good though a little light on meat. But the salad was fresh and a good size, the sauce was on POINT!! The downside is that you're going to wait. Even during the week you'll wait, so this isn't what I'd say is "fast food". It is also a kind of snooty area so the other clientele isn't friendly. Now the woman working the cashier was very VERY friendly. But no one else was. It's a rather cozy dining area too so you do sit a bit shoulder to shoulder making it a bit awkward if you have anyone with special needs. Dirty looks from other customers because you have a child who is developmentally delayed makes for a rather tense lunch. At least the woman at the cash registered was kind even if no one else was.

Brunch with a View, But Light on Flavor We made the Sunday drive from Greenville with high hopes and brunch sized appetites, pulling into Seasons at Highland Lake about an hour or two before the buffet closed. The setting was serene, and it was odd that we were the only people there, but staff mentioned we’d just missed the rush and that this was their slow season. Atmosphere wise, it’s a winner. Nestled in a secluded hotel lodge like setting, it feels like part of a mountain retreat. A live guitarist played soft tunes and took requests, adding to the relaxed, upscale vibe. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to unplug and stay for the weekend. Unfortunately, the food didn’t match the mood, or the name. Everything looked beautifully presented and artfully arranged, but almost all of it fell flat in flavor. It’s like they used all the seasoning on naming the restaurant. There’s no shortage of options on the buffet, and you might find a few things you like, but don’t expect anything memorable. None of the dishes are worth mentioning though, please explore yourself. A lovely setting for a quiet morning, but not a destination brunch spot when it comes to the food. Let’s hope the next season brings a bit more spice. I hope to be back and give it another try.

Season’s at Highland Lake is an absolute delight! Our server was outstanding — attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. The food was fantastic, full of fresh flavors and perfectly prepared. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy a great meal. And the Sunday brunch all-you-can-eat? Simply incredible! If you leave here hungry, it’s entirely your fault — there’s something delicious for everyone. This place is a must-visit!

Crab cake, prime rib, and the trout were phenomenal. We had creme Brule for dessert, and it was delicious as well. Can't believe it has taken us this long to finally have dinner here. We will be back again soon!

On a recent visit to Hendersonville, we had dinner at Season’s at Highland Lake and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The food and service were top-notch. I ordered the halibut, which was cooked to perfection, and my two guests enjoyed the steak, both of which they said were amazing. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making for a fun and memorable night out. I’ll definitely return the next time I’m in the area and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious meal in Hendersonville.

This was our first visit to this restaurant. It is less than 5 minutes from the Flat Rock Playhouse making it a convenient location for dinner and a show afterwards. The atmosphere was quiet although they had a guitar player singing light jazzy, old standards, which we really enjoyed. Service was extremely attentive, and just the right pace. The food was excellent. My wife requires gluten free prep and they brought her a separate menu which was nicely varied. We shared an heirloom tomato and burrata caprese salad that they split onto separate plates. My wife had a seared salmon dish with risotto and I had a tomahawk pork chop with linguini. Both entrees were plated beautifully and were delicious.

This is an awesome restaurant! It is very charming but not stuffy or old fashioned. It's a great destination restaurant. They do except reservation which makes planning a night out on the weekend easier. The food is fresh and tasty with modern twists. The cook is phenomenal! Service is fast and friendly without being overbearing. They offer a nice selection of wines and a full bar. We had the trout and the steak. Both were excellent. We had creme brulee and a key lime tart for dessert - again both excellent. We will definitely be back to this wonderful restaurant.

Wonderful place for a very flavorful dinner, excellent service, and quiet atmosphere.

Absolutely delicious Japanese cuisine served here! Super fresh from their sushi to their fried rice, but my favorite is the unagi don with miso soup! The eel melts in your mouth it’s so tender! It usually comes with Japanese style pickled vegetables which really help the sweetness balance out. Gorgeous presentation even with take out!

Im never disappointed with Umi. This is not only my favorite spot downtown, but one of my favorite places for to go orders. Their accuracy has always been 100% in the several years of ordering from them. To go orders in no way lack quality or quantity.

First time eating at Umi. The restaurant was very busy. We had no issues getting seated. Service was good. The food was good. We didn’t stray too far from the usual Japanese steakhouse food. Teriyaki chicken, soup, salad, fried calamari, and two sushi rolls. Each dish was the standard Japanese restaurant food.

It took a while for someone to greet me at the front, and a worker even made eye contact without helping, which made the entry area feel awkward since I didn’t really know what to do. Eventually I was sat at the sushi bar without being asked first, though luckily I was fine with it. I ordered their special toro appetizer, which was honestly the highlight of the meal — a perfect 10/10, the flavors mixed beautifully and it’s rare to see toro on a menu. After that, things went downhill. The softshell crab dish was disappointing, with an overpowering onion and a heavy creamy sauce that just didn’t work. The Philly roll also wasn’t what I expected with cucumber — it only had cream cheese and salmon, no crunch or balance, so it fell flat. I didn’t end up finishing either the crab or the roll. When I was done, it also took a long time to get my check. On the bright side, the restaurant itself was clean.

Based off the reviews we ended up trying Umi. First of all its in a great location in downtown H-ville. The service was friendly but slow, seems they need more help because it was really busy Sunday at lunch time. The food was impressive. SUSHI was very fresh and delicious. Some of the best we've had. The cooked food was a little on the bland side but the sushi was so good it made up for it. Overall Umi is definitely worth a try if in the area. Update, still the best sushi in all of North Carolina hands down!

Our go-to place for Sushi and Japanese in Hendersonville! The food is always great no matter what we order. Be prepared for a bit of a wait though.

This is my favorite restaurant hands down! I go every year for my birthday and any other chance I can! Excellent selection of Japanese food and sushi, Thai dishes as well. The drink menu has a delightful selection of unusual options, many made with different sakes. I love the tempura dinner and the bento boxes are amazing! They even have an email club you can join for a discount coupon monthly (and a bigger discount for birthdays and anniversaries) the service is always great, very attentive and welcoming. The sushi selections are amazing and always fresh! This is a must go when in Hendersonville!

Always love coming to Mast General Store!!! They have a great selection of old timey items, and it is always a pleasure to shop here!!! Thanks for all the fun and interesting memories!!! The drink machine that is like it used to be in old general stores is so nostalgic!!! I remember coming here as a kid and getting root beer!!! There is something about a soda from a glass bottle that just tastes better!

Very nice country store with a WIDE selection of goods. The vintage inspired candies, seasonal decor and various items are nostalgic and it is quite enjoyable browsing here. The staff is very friendly and make you feel welcomed. Store is clean and very well organized.

What an amazing historic building that's been held in time and reclaimed into the best general store with just a little bit of everything and unique gifts for anyone. The upper level is all kinds of camping equipment. They've kept the best of how it all started. A must visit location in Hendersonville.

Super clean. Super personable employees. Checked in to make sure i was finding everything I needed. Not repeatedly, so not ressured. Quality choice of products. Definitely return to shop. I bought some shirts couple pair of shorts and sunglasses. Price reflects quality of products.

Nice selection of clothing, shoes, camping items plus candy by the pound, toys. Just so much to see. Very pleasant and helpful staff.

This place is adorable! Stores like these are hard to come by these days. Fun place to shop at.

Like walking back into my childhood! Something for everyone at the store! Highly recommend!

We enjoyed our breakfast. The atmosphere is lively. Our server was very nice, but service was very slow. Make sure that you have enough time to wait. The food was tasty, but it would have been better if it was hot. We ordered an omelette, the recession which had eggs, grits and toast. I added a side of bacon. We also ordered the French toast which had good flavor. The vanilla latte and snickers lattes were good. The regular coffee was very average.

Neat place with a welcoming atmosphere and very friendly service. The food was good — you can tell they put care into their menu. The huevos rancheros had great flavor, though they were a little cold when served. Overall, still a nice spot and worth visiting for a relaxed meal in downtown Hendersonville.

Great location in downtown! We were able to sit at the bar without a wait. Excellent service! The chai was delicious!! Hubby had a grits bowl and I had the Farm Fresh omelet. They were both outstanding! Hubby said his was “deceptively filling” - a good portion. What a great spot!

Brunch/lunch kind of place. I got a simple breakfast of eggs once over easy, biscuit and grits. Hubby got Huevos Rancheros. The tea selection had all natural ingredients with unique combinations of spices. It’s a popular place, so expect a little wait. Ours was only 5 minutes.

Great place for brunch — even the lunch and breakfast menus have a wide variety of options! I noticed a nice mix of Hispanic and American dishes, which gave the menu a unique and flavorful twist. The plates are very generous; portions are big, so come hungry. The food isn’t oily at all, which I really appreciated. The service was warm and welcoming — no complaints at all. The atmosphere is decent, but sitting on the patio is a whole experience. I really enjoyed sipping coffee while people-watching; it was so relaxing for me. I was only able to take one picture because I was so hungry and the food was so good, I completely forgot to take more! Highly recommend this spot.

I love to eat! And I’ve never rated anyplace better BUT this place definitely deserved my time! I’ve lived here all my life and I finally gave Arabella a try! I never liked eating downtown because of the parking. But thank the Lord that I did! Because this place is absolutely amazing! Hands down the best breakfast around by far! And all the stuff was so nice and polite. So now Arabella is my favorite breakfast place around! So to all the staff working there, thank you all for everything you guys do! And I pray the Lord blesses you all!

Me and my husband went yesterday to have breakfast and 10/10 was super good. I ordered a Macchiato, best coffee I’ve had in a long time. And food we got the Cuban sandwich and one of the breakfast bowls with chorizo, home fries, scrambled eggs and chipotle crema it was so good. I would 100% recommend and would come back. Very friendly and inviting staff and very reasonable prices.

Consistently fabulous! We have been multiple times and we are so grateful to have such a wonderful restaurant in Hendersonville. The food is always super fresh, very creatively prepared and we loved our server Becca because she's so attentive-- and has the knowledge to can explain the preparation of any dish. (Tip: The cherry crostini appetizer is addictive). We love the lively atmosphere and open kitchen. We truly appreciate the owners-- a calm, chef husband and wife who are a joy to watch. ( How do they always seem so unflappable?!) Thanks again for a great offering of dishes, appetizers and desserts.

Postero offers a refined dining experience in Hendersonville, with a focus on quality ingredients and elevated presentations. While the menu is quite limited and expensive, the dishes they do offer are crafted with care. We started with the tuna carpaccio, which was beautifully presented but unfortunately missed the mark. The sauce was overpowering-so dominant that it masked the delicate flavor of the tuna entirely. A more restrained touch would have let the star ingredient shine. The small BLT salad was a nice follow-up: crisp, fresh, and balanced with smoky bacon and a flavorful dressing. For the main course, we had the chicken large plate, which was the highlight of the meal. The chicken was perfectly cooked-juicy inside with a great sear-and the accompaniments were thoughtful and satisfying, making it a hearty and well-rounded dish. Service was okay, but not particularly memorable. Postero still delivers a strong dining experience overall. If you're looking for a creative, high-quality meal in Hendersonville and don't mind a limited and highly expensive menu, it's definitely worth checking out.

We started with the Brussels sprouts and they were phenomenal. Crispy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly, they set the tone for the rest of the meal. We also ordered the mosaic plate which was a creative twist on a traditional hummus plate. Instead of hummus it had an eggplant base that was smooth and delicious, a great change of pace. For mains, I had the chicken and my wife had the ribeye. The chicken had a nice crispy texture that I really enjoyed, even though it leaned a little dry. The risotto served alongside it was absolutely immaculate, creamy and rich, the kind of dish you remember long after the meal. The ribeye had good flavor, though a little fatty, and it came with fries and a salad which made it a complete plate. We finished with the tiramisu and it was the perfect ending. Light, decadent, and beautifully balanced, it was so good that both of us agreed it elevated the entire experience. The food overall was creative and flavorful, the service was attentive, and the atmosphere made the evening enjoyable from start to finish. With dishes like these, especially the risotto, Brussels sprouts, and tiramisu, this place earns five stars without question.

During our vacation in Hendersonville, me and my wife decided to go out to eat at Postero one evening. Our reservation was at 7:45 and with the restaurant closing at 8:30, we were nervous the staff would be quick to serve us and try to rush us through our dinner service. We were seated upstairs and had a beautiful view of the kitchen and the outside street. Our server, Mrs Shannon, was extremely professional, explaining the menu clearly and efficiently while bringing out drinks and food in a timely manner. She described to us how she had worked there for over 10 years! Wow! What dedication! For our starter, we ordered the Chips and Dip. The house made BBQ potato chips paired well with the Gorgonzola Mousse, something I was originally hesitant to try. For main dishes, I ordered the Steak Frites while my wife ordered the Chicken. I asked for my steak to be cooked Medium-Rare and it was excellently prepared and tasted amazing. My wife’s chicken had amazing depth of flavor and was not dried out at all. Our personal favorite from these dishes were the Frites that came with my steak, they were well seasoned, crispy, and had the perfect temperature. For dessert we decided upon the Appalachian Tiramisu and the Dark Chocolate Pot De Crème. Both were exquisite and well prepared. Overall with a tip we spent around 170$ but the entire dinner, from service to flavors was phenomenal leaving nothing to be desired. If you are ever in Hendersonville and want an excellent evening dinner service, look no further than Postero.

We called the day before to see if anything was available and were lucky to snag an early table - so glad we did! Postero ended up being our favorite meal of the trip. Everyone left happy and full after enjoying a variety of delicious dishes. The wine menu was excellent, and the staff was so friendly and attentive. Highly recommend!

Postero – A Must-Try in Hendersonville! 🥗🍤 We stopped in for lunch and were blown away. I had the salad with chicken — unbelievably good and officially in my Top 2 of all time! Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly done. My wife ordered the shrimp scampi and called it “unreal” — I snuck a shrimp and totally agree! Flavor explosion. Postero nails it on taste, presentation, and atmosphere. We’ll absolutely be back next time we’re in town! 5 stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ #Postero #HendersonvilleEats #FoodieFavorites #LunchGoals

Enjoyed a great evening and meal at Postero. State of with the chips and dip. Chips are crisp and flavorful and the dip was light and creamy. I had the grilled pork cup with sweet potato mash and griddled broccolini. It was all cooked and seasoned perfectly. Finished the meal with the maple pecan tart with vanilla bourbon ice cream! The only thing that would have made it beget is if it were bigger! It was the perfect size for a dessert, I just could have ate a lot more of it! And the service was great too.

I have been to Black Bear three times over my recent visit to Hendersonville. Each visit has been very pleasant. Clearly the staff have a connection with locals which I appreciat. I had single origin Counter Culture from nicaragua--a solid coffee in the light range. While it was piping hot at 7, it had lost some of its warmth when I came in at 8:30. The dark chocolate/raspberry scone was excellent with both flavors spread generously through the scone. The scone had a crisp texture which I prefer to the softer, doughier forms. My wife enjoyed a pumpkin muffin from the texture standpoint but could have used a tad more cinnamon. I had a chocolate croissant the previous day and the chocolate to croissant ratio was much more than i had typically found at many other coffee shops.

Grabbed some coffees, a chai and a muffin to go whilst visiting the Hands On! Children’s Museum next door. Thankfully you can take drinks in, and this place was a treat to combine with our visit! Great drinks, tasty snacks, a cool vibe. Clearly a popular place with lots of regulars, locals, families, people on laptops, catching up and enjoying a broad selection of snacks and food choices, and specialist drinks. A nice place to come to drink in or get something to go.

I’ve been coming here for years — it’s always awesome. Even when it’s busy, the line moves quick and the vibe stays relaxed. During Helene, they stepped up and offered the community a place to gather, which says a lot about who they are. Just a great spot all around. I always look forward to my trips there.

Stopped in for a cappuccino and an avocado toast. Great coffee, tasty food, and a cozy spot to relax for a bit.

My wife and I stopped by this place for a little brunch while passing through the area. And we were so happy we did. The Avocado Toast was amazing. Everything had such a homemade/hometown feel and taste. Forget the "fast food coffee" place, you gotta check out Black Bear for the real deal Western North Carolina experience.

A must stop in Hendersonville, they are open more so than other places, their Drinks are Jedi level and amazing pastries and cookies to complement the hot drinks.

I Specifically asked for coconut milk in my latte cause I have a severe allergy to milk. Watched the girl pour regular milk into my drink and try to serve it to me as a latte with coconut milk. I notified her of it and she made me another one and acted like it was made with coconut milk and I got sick!! If you are out of a milk alternative notify the customer don’t use something else and serve it to them not knowing!!!! If someone orders a milk alternative is it not necessarily a preference, you can seriously hurt someone. In my case, I was that someone! My entire day was ruined because I decided to get a latte from this place. I don’t recommend going here if you have any allergies.

We come to Hendersonville several times a year and stop in here for a great sandwich every time we’re here. The Reuben , Turkey Bacon Ranch with Sirachi sauce and a Coke will make you want to come back every time. Great food, service, friendly staff. Done in or out. Atmosphere is great. Every sandwich we’ve made here is great. Thank you Mountain Deli staff for a job well done

Mountain Deli is a must for post bike rides or for hearty sandwich lovers. This place runs like a finely tuned assembly line. Incredible diverse menu of sandwiches, side options, and fantastic sweet tea! The staff are always friendly, helpful, and conversational. Highly recommend this spot! Beware-it’s popular so get there during the lunch rush and prepare for a manageable line. I never tire of this high quality hometown sandwich shop!

We stop and snag a sandwich here every year on our anniversary trip. The food is always great - fresh ingredients and well crafted sandwiches. The service is generally quick, polite, and attentive - with the exception of one gentleman that can get a little sharp/surly. Seating is a little limited, but the outdoor seating area is really nice. Definitely a good spot to stop in for lunch.

The wife & I decided to stop in for a quick bite, having never visited here before. First off, they have a good sized menu with plenty of choices but I don't think there's a bad choice on it. My Italian sub was delicious and my wife's egg salad on toasted Sourdough was tasty as well. The folks didn't rush us and let us take our time checking out the entire menu. After we ordered, we paid and then grabbed a booth. They brought our food out after it had been prepared. We always like to taste each other's food and we weren't disappointed at the flavors on either one. In fact, we're already looking forward to going back. (Probably several times and taking family too with the GF option available.) I'm not sure what my next option will be... maybe rare roast beef with horseradish sauce and whatever else they add?? I'm surprised my wife didn't get the turkey with cranberry sauce, but maybe next time for her. ? We need to make another trip to Hendersonville to return a parcel, so no better time than then.

Sandwiches were massive. I had the chicken salad BLT. Would have preferred it without the aioli sauce, but didn't request it, so my fault. Had 6 people in our group so had to sit at 2 tables, since all tables held either 4 or 2. Not near each other, either.... If it was closer to home I would have taken half home, but were from out of town, so ended up throwing more than half away. Don't know how the server remembered who ordered what, but found us at our table without asking, when our food was ready, which amazed me! Very busy place at lunchtime on a Wednesday. We were lucky to find seats when we ordered, since there aren't a lot of seats, considering the amount of business they were doing. Good food, quickly prepared.

Went for the Italian “hot” with all their recommended condiments (mayo, mustard and house sauce) as well as LTO, banana peppers and red pepper relish added. Bread was fresh, soft and warm. We split one Sammy there and took one for the road. Chose the Mac ‘n cheese and potato salad as our sides. Both were fine. personal preference had us adding a little pepper to both. Several booths and some window seating inside were available. Also had tables outside on the sidewalk. Had fountain drinks, beer and (I think) wine. Staff were quick and efficient. It was a busy and fast paced environment so not a lot of time for additional pleasantries. The to go wrapping was pretty leaky by the time we got to sandwich number 2 as they used deli paper and paper bag. But we had put it in a plastic bag ourselves anticipating this. This is now in our top 3 favorite Italians! Too bad it’s not closer to home

My wife got the chicken soup and I got the Rachel (a Reuben but with Cole slaw instead of sauerkraut) with potato salad. Maybe the best sandwich I've ever gotten---both the pastrami and the bread were amazing. Soup was also outstanding.

Cute family owned sandwich shop right off Main Street. Service was friendly and the atmosphere was inviting. Lots of menu options to include: hot and cold sandwiches, salads, subs, melts and more. Loved the decor.

First off the sandwiches are amazing, no doubt about it!!! We ordered the marvelous Marvin & a club. Attaching the updated menu. Unfortunately at $14.99 you would expect a real side to be included, not just Lays potato chips. Docking a point for this because as delicious as this is, I couldn’t validate coming here regularly at the price point for just a sandwich. Chipotle is a full meal and cheaper for example. If $ isn’t an issue or you’re visiting and it’s your only chance, it’s worth the stop in!

We enjoyed a couple of BLT sandwiches today. It was busy but they took our order quickly. Bacon was crispy, that’s the way I like it.

This was our first time back to this restaurant in almost 25 years. We were in HVL buying some property one summer but we still lived overseas and now we're back for the apple festival. It was the same. Great atmosphere. The place was packed. The food is excellent but pricey for what you get. My wife and I shared the Mighty Joe Young. There was that small town hospitality that we remembered. The place is tucked away off main street but worth the find.

First time here. My Dr highly recommended it. It was fantastic! Hard to pick since the menu is awesome. I had the Ruben which was perfect - just the right amount of each ingredient. I spoke with Matthew, the owner and a really nice guy. Best lunch place in Hendersonville bar none!

I eat here twice a week and it feels like family every time I go into this restaurant. Matt and Rosy the owners are the best and the food is second to none. The portions are insane and the service is impeccable. Matt make you feel like family and if you are lucky enough you might even get to here him sing. Deani the waitress is as friendly as they come, and Matt and Chris the 2 cooks are phenomenal.If you want a great meal, at a fair price, with great people this is the place to go.

As our food was served, the owner called for everyone's attention: "Seeing as it is the last day of baseball season, please stand with me." He turned to the American flag in the corner, and began singing the national anthem. The entire restaurant sang in unison then I had one of the best soup/sandwich lunches of my life.

Nice selection. Great staff. The only thing lacking is, for those with peanut allergies, the peanut butter candies are spread throughout the cases. We felt a little leary of the items that could have cross-contamination issues that were near peanut candy.

Our family has visited several locations in several states and have always enjoyed the ice cream and various fudge flavors. There isn’t a better ice cream anywhere. A young lady that waited on us in the Hendersonville location her name is Nevada. She is an amazing person. Brightest smile, attitude was sweet and professional. She made everyone feel as if she enjoyed them being there. Everyone can learn from this young lady on customer service. Kudos to Kilwins.

The staff was friendly and well trained on handling food allergies. Went above and beyond to help me find my flavor. Ice cream was just ok. Not as creamy as I would have liked, but still delish. Chocolate apples looked amazing. Lots of sweet treats to choose from.

If you are looking for a sweet treat and great atmosphere, this is your place! I have been in other Kilwins and they are good as well but there is a friendliness and comfort in the Hendersonville location.

I stopped into the Kilwins in Downtown Hendersonville on my recent trip, based on positive past experiences. The fudge is in front of the store and I was given a sample when I arrived. That was dry so I ordered different flavors. It turns out those were dry and not freshly made too. I'd say it was at least 3 days old if not more. I'd never been served old, dry fudge at a Kilwins before, so I will need to be more cautious in the future before buying. I should have realized if the sample was old and dry the rest of it likely was too. I bought some prepackaged boxes too before I left. All of these items were placed in a white paper bag. It couldn't handle the weight and ripped about a block away. I'm not sure why I wasn't given an adequate bag for the weight. This was a disappointing experience and not the store I remember. I suspect the owners changed. I will not stop again.

I dont know what happen, but usually I get my chocolate in a cute box and this young lady literally put my chocolate in the counter first them throw them in the bag, I ask if she had hot chocolate and she was like yeah but no, I dont have everything out. What throws me off was her attitude towards us. Yesterday even the chocolate tasted different.

Absolutely fantastic! 💯 worth a visit if in town! So many good treats! Stopped by on the 4th of July, so that was special! Fun to watch them make the fudge, and I recommend trying their ice scream!
