The bags to select a variety of apples and the seriously varied meat selection look amazing, unfortunately as I am traveling thru I could not purchase these. The private event area -- open barn style -- is one of the best I've seen. A huge area with stage & light strings, it has a big dance floor and a great kids play area full of tricycles. Outside there is a giant rope web and large "sliding ducts" for more play space. Get a pumpkin and book an event!!

Local here! This is our go to spot for fresh local meat. We always get our chicken, beef, eggs and…read morefish here. The quality of the beef is superb since they own the farm (Apple Brandy Beef) which their beef comes from. On top of that, the staff are always friendly and the type of folks you get to know on a first name basis. And the space is always very clean and fresh smelling. If you grab a ribeye, don't forget a jar of their Apple Brandy Beef steak rub. Pro tip: Get a pound of their beef bacon which is thinly sliced brisket which cooks up just like bacon and is seasoned with a nice black pepper rub. Sear it on med-high in a cast iron for a nice pairing with the local Dry Ridge Farm eggs (you've never had eggs till you have those).

I think everything is made in house and it tastes like it. As their name states, they make gourmet potato chips with varying, over-the-top flavors ranging from salt and balsamic vinegar to ones topped with brown sugar, bacon and chocolate. Between the 12 of us we tried Salt & Vinegar, The Corsica, Southern BBQ and The Italiano. I had the Italiano Panini and The Nori chips. Both were totally delicious. The panini came out hot and gooey. The bread tasted great and the chips were so unique and surprising. I will say that they drizzled a little too much red chili aioli sauce. It was very thick and flavorful. However, after a few bites it was too much so I wiped off some of the sauce. But it was really good, and inventive. Everything is fresh and made to order so it did take us a while to get all of our food, given that we were a large group. They told us before we even sat and we still wanted to try it, so that no big deal. And I will say this. Our table was the last to get served and the food was amazing. Sometimes at restaurants the standards fall when they get busy and that DID NOT happen here. They served great dish after great dish. Bags of chips are available for purchase as well. I'm totally kicking myself that I didn't get some to take home. Gourmet Chip is an Asheville gem!

Stopped by on a whim to grab some chips to take home (because I spied a truffle chip, and I can…read morenever turn down a truffle chip!). This spot is a chip-lovers dream. They sell both pre-packaged bags as well as fresh-made chips to eat in-house. So naturally we tried both! Their Salt & 3 Vinegar chips were delicious. Perfect for an afternoon snack as you're exploring downtown. We ended up taking home some of their truffle chips, which were also tasty. My only complaint was that they needed salt. Not sure if they put less salt on because you can always add more, but they were so much better once we sprinkled some in the bag and shook. They also have sandwiches here - didn't get to try one on our visit, but they looked tasty. Good stop both for a meal as well as a snack.

We got to stop by their new location (they took over The Malvern) and everything about the visit was pure perfection. The food is hearty and comforting - they specialize in hoagies + perogies and their menu boasts some additional fun daily specials. If I could give you any recommendation this week it would be to swing by and grab a brisket + cheese - I promise it'll be one of the best things you've eaten this year. Ramp Perogies : Brisket + Cheese

I was eager to try this newish spot from the former co-owner of highly rated Buxton Barbecue, but it didn't turn out so well. Maybe I just didn't know what to order. I guess I'll try it again. Don't know how much time Louie's owner Elliott Moss, who hails from Florence, South Carolina, has spent in Pittsburgh or Cleveland or Poland or Ukraine, where pierogi (yes, that's the plural of pieróg in Polish) are famous. Here, ours with potato and cheese ($11) was totally unlike the classic style, which traditionally features dumplings filled with mashed potatoes and cheese, boiled, then lightly fried and served with onions and butter. What we had was a clump of pale white dough, not fried, with a small layer of potatoes and some kind of cheese on top, and no onions. Our beef brisket and cheese hoagie ($16.49) was messy to eat and looked like the filling was whipped up in a blender. Nothing like the famous hoagies in Phillie or elsewhere in Pennsylvania. Louie's fries ($7.95 for a large serving) were well cooked but oddly topped with pesto and served with a small cup of marinara sauce. I guess that's what a chef calls "creative," but frankly I'd rather have just good fries. There are just four drafts on the drink menu ($5 or $6), plus a selection of cans and bottles. I had the Green Man porter. The booze is well priced, with gin, vodka and bourbon mostly under $10. Again, I love the dive bar atmosphere, much of it left over from the former bar here, The Malvern. There's a silver-painted high tin ceiling, dark blue walls, funky booths and even taxidermy on the walls. Drink prices are very reasonable. But as for the food, I'd rather have a classic burger and fries, rather than a phony pierogi or a hokey hoagie. Maybe next time I should try the smoked wings or the egg plant hoagie. I think this could be a great neighborhood spot in west West Asheville, if the owner would rethink the menu and add some items he know how to cook.
