Had the red beans and rice with tempeh. The beans were good but a bit under-seasoned; a little Tobasco sauce helped. I'm a vegetarian, so I chose the tempeh over the sausage. I appreciate having that choice available - I really do. I just have to say, though, the tempeh ruined the dish. The large pieces had an odd texture and were utterly flavorless. Note to restaurants - there are several veggie sausage options, and a few seitan choices, which are all way, way better than tempeh. For my sides I chose Brussels sprouts, which were very good, and garlic cheddar whipped potatoes, which were a little too heavy and lacked the cheddary zing I had hoped for. The ambience was pleasing, and felt both modern and clean. The hostess was warm and welcoming. And my server, Katie, was amicable and attentive. Thanks, Katie! read more

Mhmmm mhmmm mhmm! Located in the Hilton. Y'all! Want you some coffee & dessert? A good gin & tonic? Peanut butter pie? Cream burlee cheesecake? Omg! Best peanut butter pie on this planet! I'm shook. The service was phenomenal & upscale. Prices are reasonable. Drinks about $15. Dessert $6. Located in Biltmore Park. read more

Breakfast was excellent!! Fruit was fresh and eggs cooked to perfection. Service was friendly and efficient! A++++

I love this restaurant! Burgers are amazing. But the best part.....I went to the bar/restaurant alone and David escorted me to my room. He was respectful and amazing! I travel alone as a female and he knows it. BEST MAN ON EARTH. Made me feel exceptionally safe! read more

Had a tasty breakfast here this morning. I had eggs and bacon and a pancake. I highly recommend the pancake. Beware one is very big! Wait staff was attentive and friendly. read more

Just trying to find a non-chain place for dinner and came across this in Yelp. The food was good, not outstanding, but definitely a solid burger. It is located inside a hotel, but don't let that dissuade you. The prices are definitely fair for what I received. If I'm in the area I would stop by again. read more

I came after a made a reservation strictly for Brunch. I got there. They don't serve brunch, no apology no explanation but okay I settler for early lunch. The service is slow. I order a burger and a fall drink special. The waiter doesn't check on me for a while, brings my food and totally forgot the drink.The burger was okay, the fries were tasteless. Middle of the road and over priced experience. All I can say is BUYER BEWARE. The website and reviews that have come out since covid make this place seem warm, cozy, delicious and safe. But it is located in a very drafty hotel lobby with no sense of ambience. The advertising on places that are trying to get customers to them is false. The menus don't match and they are not offering brunch. read more

Fork Lore - Bacon Cheese Burger - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

We were very pleased with the service and food. As a result, we plan on returning in the near future.

Meh for breakfast. Inside the Hilton in Biltmore Park Square. Everything was okay but I guess when you're at a high-end label like Hilton, you might expect more. read more

We do not recommend since the food quality varies dramatically! We had 10 meals there, and now will not return. 2 were good (B), 2 were average/below average (C-), 4 were poor (D) and 2 were not edible (F). We recommend the great Italian place across the street instead! read more

This restaurant inside the Hilton Asheville Biltmore Park was a marvelous experience; the atmosphere was very comfortable; the restaurant service was extraordinary; and more importantly, our food was well prepared, and without question I give this restaurant 5 ***** rating! read more

Had an exceptional experience here. The server was a wonderfully polite and courteous man. The food was exquisite and well prepared. Parking is difficult due to location read more

The in-laws were meeting for the first time, one party was new to Asheville. No one had made prior arrangements. We searched and drove and searched again for a restaurant on Thanksgiving evening and somehow just by luck we found an absolute gem, Fork Lore. It was just perfect, from its accommodations, super friendly staff and the best comforting, delicious food we could have hoped for. We couldn't have planned this better. We will return every chance we get. Definitely made some special memories here. Have to give a shout out to a very special employee here who went out of her way to take care of us and keep us happy. She is SANDRA B! I hope you at Fork Lore appreciate her dedication and specialized customer service! Say hi to her for us! read more

A quiet restaurant nestled inside the Hilton hotel. A welcoming atmosphere and always friendly service. We have only enjoyed dinner here and each time it was a good experience. They offer a 2 entrees for $32 special and it's great! Entrees include 2 sides. We've enjoyed both the salmon and trout. The sweet potato salad is a favorite side. We've heard their Sunday brunch is amazing so it's on the list! You can reserve a table on opentable.com read more

HEAR YE, HEAR YE!!! Ladies and gentlemen we have the winner of the countrywide chicken sandwich competition. I literally and figuratively cried tears of sadness when I took the last bite. I heard a rumor that the head chef traveled back through time, initiated a sando competition with Colonel Sanders, won easily, went back home and got a job at Forklore. He now leads a humble life of preparing delicious foods, and hasn't time traveled in 6 years. This sandwich gets a rating of - "I would sleep on a bed of nails for 5 nights" to have this sandwich again. read more

I stopped here while staying at the Hilton and I really enjoyed myself. As my before dinner drink, I chose a Lemon Drop Martini that was so delish! To start for dinner, had the house salad with the lemon herb vinaigrette which was so good! For my entrée, I chose the Bacon Cheddar Black Angus Burger with fries and it was cooked to perfection! My waitress was super sweet and I would definitely recommend stopping by! read more

This was the restaurant in our hotel (the Hilton). We had a busy day ahead of us, sk instead of venturing out, we decided to just grab a quick bite to eat downstairs. Boy, are we glad we did! Our waiter, Robert, was awesome, friendly and knowledgeable, making recommendations and being very engaging. The eggs were all cooked to perfection (over-medium) and the cheese grits were exactly as he said... "decadent!" Oatmeal was the other entree at our table and our waiter even complied quite gracefully when asked to provide "just the berries," and "all the fruit." (Apparently we had a couple of "Sallys" sitting at our table... who knew?!) Enjoyable experience and we would all highly recommend Roux for breakfast. We hope to try it for dinner on a future visit! read more

Great evening bartender, great drinks and service. Give it a try! Nice spot at Biltmore Park. Deck parking available. Clean and well maintained facility. :) :) :) read more

We had to unexpectedly stay at the Hilton when our flight was cancelled. We had the good fortune of stumbling across this little gem for some nourishment! Some may have been annoyed by the wait times but we sat at the bar and chatted with the bartender Traci who never slowed down and never lost her smile. There was only one other server working. They both maintained their composure throughout our entire experience. Our food came out hot and delicious- my faves were the home made fries and the Caprese sandwich. Please be kind to your servers- they showed up to wait on you! read more

Really good. Charcuterie board was amazing, and so was the fried chicken sandwich. Server was really nice and attentive. The environment is very classy. read more

The restaurant was short staffed and the staff that were there gave off the vibe that they didn't want to be there. They were friendly enough but you could tell they were stressed. The restaurant atmosphere was lousy because the bar area and the surrounding tables were full of baseball kids and their drunk parents, all of them being extremely loud and acting like they had the place to themselves. After one of the father's got particularly loud and unruly, I think the staff finally got involved because the group mostly dispersed soon after that. It was just super distracting and awkward. The drinks and food were good but nothing special. Overall, not bad for a restaurant in a hotel but not great either. If you are staying at the hotel and want a convenient place to eat after checking in, this is probably a good spot. However, there are plenty of much better options that are within walking distance of the hotel. read more

Wow! Do not let the fact that this restaurant is in a hotel fool you. My dad and I have been staying here for 2 days and we haven't eaten anywhere else. All of the servers and managers are incredibly kind and provide great service. I had the breakfast and a few lunch items. The Romano salad and the tomato bisque were my favorite! So yummy.

Super tasty food. One of the best executions of avocado toast I have enjoyed. Atmosphere is cozy. Great sweet muffins and scones.

Great atmosphere. Servers are super friendly and I never once had to ask to get a drink refill they were on it immediately. Prices are great . The steaks did go up in price but it's still worth it . Bathrooms are clean and tidy and the Restaurant on a whole was very clean. read more

Really attentive service and great food. I recommend the sweet potato fries! They were delicious.

Food was (for the most part) pretty good. Fried calamari was excellent, as were grits and crem brûlée. Charcuterie board was disappointing - a lot of sausages (like bratwurst type) that are the same kind offered at the breakfast buffet. The ahí tuna was okay, but the pesto was over powering and in my opinion, didn't blend perfectly. The breakfast was definitely a bit expensive, but they had a white chocolate chip granola pancake that I totally recommend. Overall, food was good and tasted fresh, just was not what I was expecting. Bonus note: bartenders are fabulous! read more

I intended to leave the hotel for dinner, but rain convinced me to give Fork Lore a shot. I am so glad it did! I ordered a glass of the Milou Rogue Syrah/Grenache blend and it was awful, so the bartender made a suggestion and swapped it out for me. The honey Dijon salmon was the perfect mix of savory and sweet. The southern mashed potatoes were creamy and flavorful. The Brussel sprouts are deep fried and good (but needed some seasoning). I finished the meal ($24 salmon) with 2 scoops of chocolate ice cream ($5). Not a bad dinner for a hotel lobby! read more

Great spot to eat, service was good and they have a good local beer selection as well as wine! Food was amazing, waiters were very friendly. Also it's also right next to the movie theater! All and all would definitely sip again! read more

Brussel sprouts appetizer is AMAZING!! A rather large portion made with honey, peanuts and feta a combination I wasn't sure I would like but now I can't stop thinking of them. For dinner I tried the chicken caprese sandwich with sweet potato fries and honestly they were both so good but the fries were the best I've ever eaten out. I will admit I am not a fan of hotel restaurants and given the fact this Hilton is situated in Biltmore park with a plethora of dining options I was convinced the other restaurants would've been better. We were tired after a full day of travel so just decided to head to the lobby and eat at Folklore, and I said several times "this is so good, thank goodness we didn't wonder around to find another place!" My husband couldn't agree more. He had the burger special and a salad and enjoyed both. The bartender was friendly and seemed to know a few of the people sitting at bar. Service was really good and I would definitely eat there again if staying at the Hilton there in Biltmore. read more

Don't let this open restaurant within the hotel fool you to believe sub-par, it is legit. Everything is freshly made and hot! The Buffalo cauliflower is an awesome & healthy appetizer but makes you feel indulged (sorry no picture, it's gone!) Burgers are well seasoned and fresh off of the grill and the sweet potato fries are the best I've ever had. Unlike the soggy ones from other busy restaurants, the fries are crispy and gees how could they keep the temperature hot and maintain the crisp just pairing next to the burger on an open plate? Wish we had ordered another on the side! The waitress is the best and most professional hostess who recommended my salmon to be blackened, paired with grilled asparagus and freshly made, tasty mashed potatoes-you get two free sides. The freshly grilled half lemon served with the plate - I devoured the whole plate in no time. The bar tender is wonderful and fun!!! (Sunday night Memorial Day weekend) Both bartender and waitress served our dinners at the same time, it's as if you would expect from a 5 star Michelin starred restaurant. We normally don't order dessert but got the Reese's chocolate pie. The peanut butter filling with whipped cream and Reese's pieces were a treat to share with competitiveness. If you hate to be on wait lists at fancy restaurants, don't miss Fork Lore, it's a gem! read more

Holy super surprise! This is a gem tucked into the Hilton hotel. The quality of food is superb! We were told Roux was rated the HIGHEST of any Hilton restaurant across the brand....and I thought, 'really'??? Really! If all of Asheville finds out about this place, it will be FLOODED with patrons. Perhaps it is overlooked because of its location. Get smart, people! You need a night at Roux! The Scottish salmon was perfection! Charred and served with a delicate BBQ sauce, in a nod to the region's penchant for 'que. The grilled asparagus and potatoes were great accompaniments. My husband's ribeye was seared to perfection. Really attentive and superb service as well! This is destination food in a foodie locale! Head out! read more

Looks like an abandoned mall, there should be some separation from hotel front desk and the restaurant but sadly it is just one big lobby. We are there once, food was surprisingly great, like a lot better than expected. The second time we went here the host was gone for a while and so we gave up and starting walking away, when she came walking down the hallway opposite direction asking us to come sit. Take a hint like we are already tired with waiting. A shame that we didn't want to taste their food again, but Asheville has a ton of restaurants so I couldn't really care if I never go there again. Also the only reason it isn't a one star is because the chefs know how to cook well. read more

Great breakfast/brunch here on a Saturday morning. We were not staying at the hotel but walked by and decided we were hungry and should dine in. The service was great and fairly quick. The waiter was very friendly and knowledgable about the menu items as well as the restaurant history. The bottomless coffee tasted fresh and very smooth. I went with the garden and goat cheese omelet - delicious. The potatoes, though, were the real winners and stole the show. They rank up with the best breakfast potatoes I've ever had - perfectly seasoned and not overly salty. The waiter mentioned they are made fresh in house and locally sourced, which I can appreciate. My husband also had an omelet, the chef's favorite, which was also delicious. The omelets are a good size, so prices are reasonable. Also, I learned that Roux was named one of the top Hilton restaurants in the country, which was impressive. That seems a little difficult to believe, but I do think the quality of the food and experience was very good. read more

Called ahead on Christmas Day to ask if they take walk in and if I' would have difficulty to find a table for a party of 5, the lady on the other side of the phone said I'd have no problem and courteously sent me their limited menu for Christmas. I drove 40 minutes away and when I arrived there with my family was told that it'll be 1.5 hours wait (when there were barely people in there) because they had a lot of take out order. Very disappointed. read more

While staying at the Hilton at Biltmore Park, the Roux was very convenient for us. During our stay it was downpouring and we didn't feel like driving or walking in the rain. This restaurant choice was extremely good. I got the salmon and it was absolutely delicious. I loved the sauce that was on the bottom. The customer service was really good. I don't remember our server, but she did an amazing job. She answered any questions that we had about the dishes The only reason that I gave this restuarant 4 stars out of 5 is since our creme brulee was watery. The server removed it from our bill and understood that creme brulee should not have that texture. The next time I come visit North Carolina, Roux is one of the restuarants I have to visit. read more

Fork Lore - This is their salmon dish. So good. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

First of all, this is a hotel restaurant. We came here because of yelp rating and convenience. We sat down at 6:45pm. It is almost 8 now and food still hasn't come out. The restaurant only has 5 tables of people (and 15 empty ones). During this hour of waiting, it took them 3 times (in a span of 20-30 mins?) to serve the big table next to us. Husband said he saw a table left because of the long wait. We were told there were two chefs and they had to take care of the entire hotel's room service. Do not come here for convenience or if you have children. read more

Service was great and I always had coffee in my cup. However, the food is on par with The Waffle House and being in a hotel doesn't help either. read more

Hubby and I called everywhere on Christmas to see what was open, came across this spot as it was close to home and new to us. We were skeptical because it was in a hotel but boy did we have an awesome time. The night was a busy one and understandably because no one else was open, and staff was limited. We were in there for a while but they made up for the food wait with a free soup and EXTRA dessert to take home. The server/bartender/maybe owner? was also absolutely awesome. Highly recommend this place. What a cool vibe read more

We are here twice as we had room credit while staying at the Hilton. We had the bacon burger and melted pimento cheese and chips. The two night we had the Buffalo wings and creme brûlée cheesecake. Everything was great! Do wish the cheese cake was a little larger for the 7 dollars. Everything had great taste and was a nice treat when we returned late from downtown Asheville. read more
