If you are GF, this is the place; everything is gluten-free. We happened upon the summer menu filled with fresh ingredients. Highly recommend the cheddar biscuits, the beet appetizer, the braised short ribs, finished with the chocolate torte. Unique selection of cocktails, and the wine menu is extensive. My glass of Malbec was very good. Service was attentive, personable, yet not always in your space. Highly recommend!
I love this place. I've been here a few times and I like it more the more I visit.
The food options are numerous for me (Gluten allergy) and I'm all about organic foods. They are also very conscious of allergies and accommodate accordingly.
The staff is friendly and playful, too! They clearly care about the principles of this place.
And atmosphere is nothing special, but gets the job done. 5 stars for sustainability though, with their steel cutlery and plates.
Come check it out! Totally worth it.
A great experience from start to finish. My cousin has a gluten allergy and our waitress Carly and the manager Ian personally made sure everything was safe for her to eat. We appreciated going above and beyond for that. Try the elote dip!
Stopped in for breakfast on a Friday morning around 9am. Was able to be seated immediately. Our server Garrett was great. The food itself was just ok. Their Biscuit French sounded great but not that flavorful to me. Also had the two egg breakfast which comes with eggs, fried potatoes, and one biscuit. Bacon or sausage are add-on sides. Have gluten free options which is nice. The atmosphere was fairly plain but clean and comfortable. We were in the front room. The backroom looks more interesting with tables along the windows. The location is good near the Flatiron building on Wall Street. Convenient to walk to if staying downtown. I would try again but different menu items.
We were seated quickly and the food came fast too. Michael was very attentive. Our whole party enjoyed our food and experience. I appreciated the gluten friendly menu and both the gf bourbon street pancakes and gf toast were delicious!
Had a wonderful brunch at Chestnut! The pimento cheese tater tots were amazing! I can’t wait to go back for dinner and try the fried green tomatoes! All gluten-free items are noted on the menu. The servers are very helpful if you have any questions!
Nice place all around with friendly employees. Food was very good. Got gluten free ravioli, turkey bacon sub and strawberry cheesecake. It was all tasty. Appreciated sitting in the sunroom area..very nice!
This is my favorite restaurant at Biltmore Estate for lunch or dinner. The pork burger is amazing and the Shepard’s pie is so delicious! GF items are marked but they can modify other dishes. The GF buns are homemade and are so delicious! The fries are in a dedicated fryer at this restaurant.
This is a great place!! We enjoyed our delicious burgers & fries at the huge outdoor seating area with our 2 dogs. Their gluten free bun was pretty good too. We then shared a piece of their gluten free carrot cake and OMG!!! We'll definitely be back!
Best salmon I've eaten in a decade! How do you do what you do? I'm a 35+ year local, and from day one onward, the food is always excellent! I was so delighted by the many gluten free entree options, and the best treat was the *gluten-free* fried green tomatoes (which my husband and cousin always order everywhere we go, but I am unable to enjoy, myself) I had 2 all for myself since I never get to have any, and everyone agreed the were the best they'd had, anywhere! YUM!
Excellent! This was my first visit to Tupelo Honey, but so many people have told me how delicious their food is - and boy were they right! They have a great selection of menu items with plenty of choices for people who are gluten free. They also have delicious mocktails and a substantial bar menu.
We went for brunch on New Year's Day, so it was probably more busy than it would typically be - but we only had to wait a short time before getting a table and enjoying our brunch.
The service was great, everyone was so kind! The food was also DELICIOUS! This is the best place I’ve eaten at since coming to the Asheville area; so good I don’t want to go to a different spot and I want to come back here instead! There are many options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, and meat lovers! Everything is local and the mission behind this place is wonderful. I got the Tempe sandwich and fries and it was SOOOO good and SO flavorful! The kale salad with the dressing (super good dressing) and scramble were also delicious! Great price too.
We went here for my moms 70th birthday and holy smokes did it exceed all of my expectations. The service was incredible, attentive and sincere. Our server did an amazing job of staying on top of all our needs while also giving us space to enjoy and never making us feel rushed. We took almost all of his recommendations for food, from apps to mains and dessert and each one was spot on and delicious. I so appreciated that management came to our table to check in and how special they all made my mom feel. The food was out of control good with so many gluten free options for me that everyone enjoyed sharing. The vibe and atmosphere were perfect for a nice dinner, celebration or some romance. I can't believe I waited this long to go here even though it's in my neighborhood. I couldn't have asked for a better way to celebrate my mom. I'm a customer for life now and I can't wait to go back.
Fabulous meal, excellent service, innovative food and cocktail menu, and a fun environment. Lots of vegetarian and gluten friendly options. Highly recommend!

I was looking for a good black bean burger. Well, I found one. I also got to have it on a gluten-free bun that was delicious. My husband had a bison burger, and we enjoyed cucumber salad, sweet potato fries, and regular fries as our sides. Everything was served quickly and looked pretty on the plate. I posted a picture of my plate afterward to show I tore it up. Was fresh and good. Our bartender and server, Wesley, was pleasant and shared he has been working there 11 years. He feels like they are family, which says a lot about the establishment.
Oh, and the building was actually a refurbished gas station. How cool is that!
The Appalachian Egg Scramble at Village Social is a hearty and flavorful gluten-free breakfast option. For $17, you can enjoy a satisfying combination of creamy grits, savory andouille sausage, sweet onions, and sharp cheddar cheese. It's a great way to start your day at Biltmore!
The Black Bird is a must do for dinner when in Asheville! This farm to table bistro is amazing! The service was wonderful, the food was outstanding, and the choices were great! They also had a good selection of gluten-free which I personally appreciate it Highly recommend it!! I don’t know why it says like that it’s just😊
What a wonderful experience made possible by Michael and team. Reserved Table for a surprise engagement dinner and it far exceeded expectations. Michael worked ahead of time with me to pair down the menu to make things simpler for the kitchen staff. Pricing was a flat fee per person and we received that value if not more. Service was wonderful and we had the restaurant to ourselves by the end of the evening. The nut, dairy and gluten free member of our party was fully accommodated and even had altered appetizers brought out specifically for him. Can’t say enough about the food, still think about the hand made cavatelli and rabbit sugo. Michael even printed out a customized menu for us which we have since framed. Impeccable experience, wouldn’t have done it anywhere else. Cheers.
Daughter has celiac so always a struggle when traveling to find good food options. This is one you won’t be disappointed with. Food was good, service was good and they took caution with gluten allergy. Highly recommended!
This is a great place to get a taste of Asheville and enjoy good southern cooking with a creative twist! I got the pork and WOW! I love honey and hot sauce, so this was absolutely perfect for me. With my gluten, dairy and sugar issues, there weren't a LOT of options, most things are fried (which my friends loved). But the pork was safe, fries, collard greens and a few other things.. just not a ton of options for my allergies. Cub took care of us and he was really efficient, cool, and made sure our waters stayed full (which was perfect cause we were dehydrated). They have a good bit of outdoor seating (shaded) and tons of space inside- along with a nice bar. If you're looking for a lunch or decent meal downtown, this is worth a stop! Spent about 30$ for a nice meal with 2 sides.
Now keep in mind, I'm gluten/wheat intolerant, so, I couldn't eat the famous fried chicken sandwich,. I got the grilled chicken breast tenders with sweet honey BBQ , salad and mashed potatoes (no gravy!!) Nice portions, nice heat with the sauce on the chicken, and I didn't get sick!! Everyone else liked their sandwiches and was quite satisfied with the heat.
I'm giving a 4 star only because we were about the 3rd group in line, there were 6 of us including our grandkids ages 10 months and 3. My daughter and I went ahead and got a table and a high chair at the only 6 person table closest to us. Kids and diaper bags get heavy!!! The other party in front of us had already got a table as well. That left only one group that was ordering to get a table. The manager or whomever she was, came over and told us we couldn't sit yet because we hadn't ordered. I totally get why, but, we were the only group with 6 people and there were a few other tables with 4 chairs. I was just a little put out with that. She didn't make the other person that was holding a table move. She asked him, he clearly lied.... so, long story short, food is great, but, apparently not very family friendly. After, the party that was ordering sit down, she did come over and tell us we could go ahead and sit. Why thank you. With tip and food, we paid over $70. Not sure if we will go back with the kiddos.
Had dinner on a Thurs night, made a reservation for 6 and a 7th came a little later. The host staff was friendly and personable, our table was set and ready right on time. Our server, I believe his name was Jamie or Jesse, was absolutely brilliant. Great balance of professional and personable, checked up on us just enough and not too much. Awesome server!!
The drinks we had were great- The non-alcoholic drink with pineapple and grapefruit was excellent, and the DFOF (old fashioned) was top notch. The food was all pretty tasty, the burger was great. The Orreciette pasta dish was good, but incredible, could have used less pasta and a bit more of the sausage and veggies.
I like that they source local ingredients my brother is gluten free and he had a number of dishes to choose from- he got the trout with beets and horseradish sause- I tried it, and it was very good! Would come back.
Nice place located in the hotel. Drinks are expensive but the food is not and is excellent. We were attending a conference not far from here and this restaurants reviews mentioned gluten-free. I have celiac disease so it is difficult from me to eat out due to cross contamination, both the waiter and kitchen were very accommodating. I did need to ask questions, but this prompted the waiter to do the same in the kitchen. I would definitely recommend this location and will return again on my next trip.
The food was incredible. I had a steak with the most amazing homemade steak sauce. I even bought a bottle of it. I could drink the stuff. I dine out in Asheville a ton and rarely does a meal feel as mind-blowing as this one was. Even the kale salad had a flavor profile that I loved. And I'm not a huge fan of kale. Sat at the bar and the service was stellar. Modifications were made for me...gluten and dairy free... without an issue. I appreciate feeling like I can eat amazing food even with a more strict diet. Thank you! We will be back often!
Gluten-free friendly vegetarian friendly. Welcoming staff, very pleasant. Very helpful.
I had the Texas stuffed baked potato and it was delicious. They have nice choices for sauce, I really enjoyed the Pisgah BBQ sauce. I would eat here again!
Beautiful location with a cute country store in front. Had the lemon pepper salmon and it was pretty good. Also, the had the collards and cabbage which were both good. They had a sweetness to them. The service was great just took a little longer to get the bill but not outrageously long. They don't have gluten free bread but there are options to still have a good meal. All in all... I will come back.
Best dining experience of our whole week long trip! Arrived early, and were greeted by owner. She made several trips to our table to make sure we were happy. When we told her on the phone that we eat gluten free she had taken the time to mark the menu indicating what we could and could not have. We had the steak, and it was the best steak we have ever had. I have ordered steak in many restaurants, but none have been as perfect as this one. From the outside you would not expect to receive such a delicious gourmet meal! Just sorry we live so far away, or this would be our go to restaurant.
First of all do not sit at the bar. It will make you not want to eat your food. Everyone was nice to us but service was not it. Took someone 15 minutes to even ask us for a drink much less give us water. The kitchen is so unsanitary and if you’re vegan or gf (celiac) not friendly at all. They never clean the grills or have a separate spot on the flat top for vegan/gf food. Not one of the cooks used gloves and the food legit had no flavor. If you like greasy unflavored food this is the spot for you. I work at a brunch spot in west Asheville as well and I was appalled by the service mostly I had to ask for silverware/straws/sugar/syrup/cream you name it. I eventually just went to the server station and got it myself after having no help. Also do not drink the iced coffee it gave me a serious stomach ache and was in the bathroom for hours after we ate. Also nothing at the bar was dated or labeled like it should be so pretty sure the iced coffee was days old (it tasted like it was old) never coming back here again. Seriously needs a staff meeting cuz this place is just GROSS

Fantastic gluten-free dairy-free gooey vegan cheesy egg, potato cake and sausage sandwich! Hard to find allergen free food this good! Intolerant but not celiac. Friendly, fast service.
This place is quickly becoming one of my favorite places in the Asheville area to hang out. The food is delicious and super gluten free friendly, and they offer vegetarian and vegan friendly options too. The staff and owners, including Kyle, truly go above and beyond. We had a birthday party here with friends and have continued to come back because it’s such a great experience. Have the wings with the dry rub, or the fries! Both are delicious!
