    Buxton is a pretty solid chicken place! It definitely hits that chicken sandwich craving. I usually just get the Original but this time, the guy at the counter suggested the Club tossed in Nashville hot sauce and it was LEGIT. The chicken is juicy on the inside with a nice flavorful crust on the outside. The waffle fries are deliciously seasoned and perfectly crispy. I also enjoy their array of sauces for dipping/pouring. My issue lies within the pimento cheese. This visit, the pimento cheese wasn't creamy AT ALL. It looked like shredded cheese from the bag slapped on top of the sandwich. The combination of shredded cheese and sliced cold cheese that was not melted was a little off putting. I would have loved for the crispiness of the chicken sandwich to be balanced with a creamy or melty cheese to really take it to the next level.

    No surprises here, just Buxton Hall slanging their delicious chicken sandwiches! You want find the full BBQ menu here, just the chicken sandwiches and some sides. This is a great option if you're not looking for BBQ. It's hard not to fall in love with the S&W market, the atmosphere is perfect for Asheville and you are able to get a sample of the food you will find around town. Not to mention some great beers from Highlands Brewing as well!

    Chicken tenders
    Allison M.

    Pretty legit amount of chicken tenders for it to go Meal. Counter service and the person waiting on me was very nice and helpful. Pretty sure she gave me an extra sauce for free. They came out super super quick and fresh and hot. They're crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Nothing super mind blowing about them but a solid choice nonetheless. I like that this is in the S&W cafeteria and super accessible to downtown. Also feels like one of the more affordable places these days

    Seasoned Waffle Fries

    I only wanted a snack, so I just got their seasoned waffle fries. I wasn't expecting much, because while waffle fries are great, they are fairly straight forward. Well I was pleasantly surprised. The flavor and the crunch on these fries were amazing. I will certainly be going back to try the chicken sandwich. They really looked amazing.

    Spicy honey chicken
    Rachel W.

    This food was great! Our favorite was the spicy chicken. The chickens were huge and provided enough to fill a stomach. It was about a 10-15 minute wait when it was busy. The restaurant was in a food court with a second floor, we didn't go to the second floor but there was good music going on in the back ground.

    Really good fried buffalo chicken sandwich combo with fries + drink. Counter service was quick and friendly.

    Being a 'chicken palace' there are almost no options for vegetarians however I have stopped by to grab a side of fries and a Cheerwine bourbon slushy and I am absolutely obsessed with both. My favorite dipping sauce is the white BBQ but I am big on sauce so I also enjoy dipping into ranch and honey mustard. Their sauces are great. You can also get a small side of pimento cheese. I would love to see them add a vegetarian chix option to their entrée offerings, however I do not foresee that happening. I will be back for more fries and boozey slushies.

    This place is housed in a beautiful old building with fantastic architecture. Great vibe and lots of seating. The chicken here is amazing. Got the chicken tenders meal and honestly it's enough for two people or two meals. The chicken is so juicy and tender and the nuggets are huge! Great waffle fries and lots of drink options. The employees are very upbeat and super friendly. Great service.

    This place has the nicest, quickest, and most friendly staff! They move quick, and the do it all with a smile! The chicken sandwich is better than one you'll find ANYWHERE else. The breading is crispy, the chicken is juicy, the pickles are perfect, the bread is soft & the sauces just top it off perfectly! The chicken 'nuggets' are big, juicy and so crispy! The sauces really knock it out of the park. LOVE being able to have cheerwine, and the fries were seasoned to perfection, hot, and crispy yet so good!

    I don't eat a lot of chicken, but their fried chicken sandwich was one of the best I've ever had. I especially love their pimento cheese spread on it!

    Chicken Nugget Combo
    Candi M.

    Located in the S & W Market - a beautiful historical art-deco architectural building conveyed to a food hall- this joint is a spin-off locale for the Buxton Hall fried chicken sandwich. I was very excited to try the chicken nuggets and they did not disappoint. Super light breading & you can just tell the chicken is high quality. I tried the ranch and honey mustard dipping sauces and both were on point. You also get seasoned waffle fries and a real fountain Coke! The fries were a little flabby for my liking and could have used a bit longer in the fryer but I did love the seasoning. Can't wait to try other spots in the food hall!

    Chicken sandwiches were excellent! It's a food court environment. Food court was less than inviting.

Our evening started with complimentary champagne....booked in advance and told the staff we were in town celebrating and they took great care of us. We skipped the apps, but were impressed that they offer smaller plates, along with their entrees. My wife ordered the 4 Oz filet, which was so tender that it didn't require a steak knife to cut it. Her butter knife was sufficient enough. Honestly, her fork would've been enough. You can tell they have good beef quality....the filet was very tasty. Was served with a sauce and whipped potatoes, along with fresh green beans. I ordered their scallops and polenta dish. Honestly, I think the garnish was a bit over the top.....however, their scallops were delicious and tender. I normally like a good sear but can appreciate how they prepared theirs. The seasoning was flavorful and their sauce with the garnish went well with it. The only mark I can make had to do with the polenta. It was quite tasty, but the consistency didn't match the description of the dish. Regardless, it paired very well with the scallops. Ended the night with complimentary dessert, which was their blackberry peach crumble with ice cream, which was delicious. One of the best desserts we've had in some time. Our waiter James was fantastic. He was great in describing dishes, and was timely with the service and making sure our drinks were taken care of. The manager on duty, Brooke, was wonderful as well and even extended well wishes on our celebration. All in all, their staff did a great job. You can also tell that the other tables got similar service as well. We had all intentions on coming back and checking out their brunch, which was highly recommended, but ended up doing something else the following day. This is a solid option for date night dining. Very intimate setting downtown. Parking is ridiculous to try and get close by, especially on a Friday night, but theres a parking deck under a mile away from the front door. This is another Asheville spot we'll have in the rotation. Very impressed and can't wait to try other options there in the future.

The BBQ sauces were great we tried all 3. Our favorite was the cheerwine one. They were out of 2 appetizers and potato salad which was supposed to come with the barbequterie board, so they let us choose what to sub it with. We picked cowboy caviar which ended up being okay, not much flavor there. The salad in a jar was good, you dump it into a bowl yourself. The jar was great because everything on the salad was portioned perfectly! Loved the chicken in the salad too. Only waited a few minutes for a table at 2:30p on a Sunday holiday weekend. There is an attached free parking lot and we were able to get a spot, but when we left there were no spots left and someone was waiting for our spot. There is street parking as well.
