    The size of this TV, tho! Definitely will come back to watch the games here when in Asheville.

    Had a nice time stopping in here and meeting up with some friends in the Asheville area. They have FREE POOL! And please scope out the size of their TV in the photos! I'm sooo happy I found a place to watch my games when in town.

    Went in for a fun time. The website advertised games like pool, pinball and darts. The one "indoor" pool table was out of order. Pinball, darts, and all the other pool tables are in another room they call "outside" where smoking is allowed. This room is enclosed and conditioned. It is not outside and cigarette smoke is thick in the air. Don't come here. To be fair, there is some plastic sheeting over an opening in one wall... I still can't breathe in here.

    You've got to try these Cheesesteaks! When Lexi is at the grill, Philly has nothing on Asheville.

    Good menu

I got the Down Home burger with mac and cheese on the side. My boyfriend got the slider sampler pulled pork, blackberry habanero chicken, and brisket. We got a side of curly fries to share. The fries were delicious with my burger. The mac and cheese was thick; you could tell it was made with high quality cheese, my favorite kind. My boyfriend thought the blackberry habanero sauce was too spicy but the other two were good. The size of drinks here are gigantic! Love the coke.

On the plus side, the restaurant was incredibly easy to find and they actually have parking available, which is always a massive win when traveling. Once inside, we were seated at a high-top table, and our server was very pleasant throughout the meal. We started with the collard green and pimento cheese dip, which was supposed to come out hot in a skillet. Unfortunately, as I started dipping into the center, the middle of the dip was still cold. For mains, my husband ordered a chicken sandwich with a side of mac & cheese, and I went with the grilled cheese with candied bacon and tomato. Both of our sandwiches had the same issue: the tomato slices were cut incredibly thick--at least a half-inch. It made my husband's sandwich really hard to eat, to the point where he just took the tomato off and ate the chicken with a knife and fork. My grilled cheese was fine, but that massive tomato slice was just a bit much. As for the sides, my husband's mac & cheese was on the dry side. Mine wasn't dry, but it didn't really have a ton of flavor. I totally understand that the restaurant is trying to go for a fun, modern twist on southern classics, but for us, the execution fell a bit short. It was nice to try once while in town, but I'm not sure I'd visit again on a future trip to Asheville.

    Had the chance to visit Juicy Lucy's Burger Bar and Grill on a rainy holiday weekend while in…read moreAsheville, and it turned out to be a fantastic find! We went all out with appetizers and main courses, and everything was excellent. For starters, my husband ordered the buffalo chicken bites and I got the fried pickles. Both were perfectly prepared, and we thoroughly enjoyed them. The burgers were the absolute highlight. I ordered the "Bacon Crunch" style Juicy Lucy, which came stuffed with cheese and topped with bacon jam, pickles, crisp bacon slices, and potato chips for a perfect crunch. My husband went for the "Lucy Loco" burger, which came loaded with jalapeños. Both burgers had incredible flavor, were an ample size, and hit the spot perfectly. The sides were just as impressive. I had the sweet potato fries, and my husband ordered the fried green beans--which were uniquely delicious and really well done. To top it all off, our server, Carla, was very nice and incredibly attentive throughout our meal. Juicy Lucy's is a must-visit, and I will definitely be stopping by again on my next trip to Asheville!

    I should have left when I walked in and washed my hands and saw the bathroom was out of paper…read moretowels. I stayed anyway because I was already there and it seemed not too crowded. We ordered an appetizer that came out the same time as our food. That was the second indication that this was not the best. Then I found a hair in the fried pickles I was eating. I just sat it down and started on my steak. I ordered a ribeye medium. The steak ended up being cooked in evenly. Half was well done and the other half was rare. The steak was a cheap cut and mostly fat and gristle. The fries were cold too. We were sat near a family with inattentive parents with three kids, making the entire experience just that little bit extra. The waitress stoped by once about two minutes after all the food and apps came out and then one last time to give the check. So if you enjoy poor hygiene, a slow paced staff, bad food, and atmosphere that will make your blood boil, then Juicy Lucy's may be the perfect spot for you. However, if you have any standards, I'd suggest going elsewhere. Sincerely, I hope your team improves but I will not return to find out. The only positive was the one beer I tried was decent.

We watched her run all night! That kids Nikes were smoking! She also was knowledgeable about the cocktails and menu & her boss should be proud of her sales talent!
