Tommy's Family Restaurant

Reviewed By Richard H

Thanks to Flyer in The ArBnB were we staying in with our grandsons we learned about Tommy's Family Restaurant. When approaching the restaurant our first reaction was Wow, the food must be Great! Now granted it was a Friday Night and the tiny parking lot was crowded however we found a spot for our car and went inside. We were immediately directed to what appeared to be the only open seating spot in the restaurant. The restaurant makes use of every inch inside to seat their guests whch on a Friday Night certainly helps as Tommy's was jam packed. Menus were left and we started studying them as there are a wide variety of choices plus on their white boards there were the Seafood selections for the evening. Our server did an excellent job not only handling our party but the several others she had in her section. We were "blown-away" with her ability to remember all we ordered without writing it down when she took our orders. When later asked, she explained how and why this came about. Quite a talent! As a result of her sharing we started off with a double serving of their Onion Rings for an appetizer. They were a hit as the grandsons ( who at times are picky eaters) helped polish them off before our entrees came. Tommy's has a kids menu and the meals come with a side which there are many to choose from. Serving portions are plenty. Prices were good especially for the amount of food one gets. The grandsons ate well. My wife had a selection from the "Greek Section" of Tommy's menu. I had the 1/2 All White Chicken dinner with 3 sides. I ended up taking home part of the chicken and believe me it was just as good Saturday night for a snack. Highly recommend The Chicken! So, if visiting Weaverville, NC for dinner Tommy's Family Restaurant is worth a visit!

Frank's Roman Pizza

Reviewed By Tammi D

Definitely some of the best pizza in Asheville. Cooked perfectly through with quality ingredients. You can tell who cooks it cares! And it’s not over-priced! Would love to go dine-in with the kids some day because every time I’ve gotten it to go there is never anyone actually eating there..but there are plenty of tables and space!

Reviewed By 390gailb

We had a delicious dinner there. The chicken Marsala was excellent served on fettuccine. The ravioli my husband had could have had a larger portion but was delicious.The atmosphere was wonderful and the service excellentMy only problem was when we tried to make a reservation on open table at 6 or after they said only bar space was available. We went at 5:30 and when we left at 7:00 there were plenty of available tables. We almost didn’t go as a result of not wanting to sit at the bar!Thanks for dining with us! We are glad that you enjoyed your evening. Of course it seems odd when there are no available reservations but plenty of open tables in the restaurant. When weather and space permits, many of our guests with reservations will choose to sit outside on our patio - leaving tables open inside the restaurant. This lovely area is not reservable or controlled by Open Table, but by Mother Nature. It seems this may have happened on the night of your visit. We do hope to see you again at Chiesa!

Blue Mountain Pizza and Brew Pub

Reviewed By Dave V

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

Reviewed By Cynthia V

The Twisted Laurel West has a great staff and managers. Definitely a “go-to” 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 I’ve ever met. I haven’t 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! Don’t miss it if you’re in Asheville. ❤️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. We look forward to having you back in soon!

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!!

Dined in tonight with my hubby, parents, toddler, and infant. Ordered the garlic knots (very good dipped in marinara, but would be amazing if they stuffed them with mozzarella). Hubby ordered the sausage and peppers penne (loved it), toddler put a hurting on Alfredo pasta and meatball. My parents and I split a temptation pizza and it was one of the best pizzas we’ve ever had! (Thin, good woodfired crust, delicious toppings, good cheese pull). Alex our server was attentive and knew the menu well. Will be back if in Asheville again
