4. Best Casual Dining - Chai Pani, Salsas, Baby Bull, Gan Shan or Pizza Mind to consume w beer at Archetype
5. Best Dining - Limones, Asheville Proper, Ukiah, Bull & Begger, Admiral, Copper Crown

Made reservations at Asheville Proper. Looked good.
We also like Biscuit Head and Rocky’s. 12 Bones BBQ is a favorite too.For breakfast, Biscuit Head is good, but I’ve had really good food at First Watch. White Lab has good food and brews. I am a Rocky’s Hot Chicken Shack fan and on Sundays, they have a chicken biscuit plate that is scrumptious. Del Vecchio’s is good eating. Papas & Beer is really good Cali-Mex food.
Yes! The Green Man, and Claddagh Irish pub/restaurant, that's all ya need to know.Green man is my favorite brewery. The ESB is world class.
67 Biltmore is a great lunch spot.

Mammacitas is good tacos.
They used to have a fabulous noodle house there but I think they closed.
Best dive bar? Creekside Taphouse. Maybe not really a dive. Dont ask for American Football, its a Rugby/Soccer place.I haven't been in a few years... Going to Biltmore of course... ISO other recommendations...

Red Stag in Biltmore.A little late but just went to Asheville for a Bachelorette trip and did the Biltmore. Honestly, didn't care for the house at all. It was super crowded and not what I thought I was actually paying for. The staff was pretty friendly so that helps. We ate at Cedric's Tavern (I'm hella picky eater) and that was 2.5/5. Food was not flavorful and over priced. The only saving grace for this trip was the Biltmore Winery. I thoroughly enjoyed the Wine Tasting and our Sommelier. He was very personable and knowledgeable about all the wines they offered. Check that out if you can.
Try out Rocky's Chicken Shack.. no complaints. Also, we had a nice dinner at 123 Main (I think that's the name). Loved every single thing about this place although it was a bit pricey. It was worth every penny for the amazing food, service, and atmosphere. I really loved it.
Also the Dueling Piano Bar was cool. We did have to pay a cover charge but it was cool. Hope you have/had a great trip..
