He is friendly and gave great suggestions. We had the fried green tomatoes, bison meatloaf w/mash potatoes and asparagus (perfect!!!), Smash burger w/Old Bay chips. All of the food was fantastic especially the fried green tomatoes. A MUST HAVE if you visit. M/F and family restrooms. We will be back again and again and again... I came back and ordered the BLT with old bay chips. Again the food was amazing! They put fried green tomatoes on the sandwich and a generous helping of bacon. Such a good sandwich! I brought Loki with me and he was welcome on the patio. The views all around are amazing! We

Tried Daddy Mac's Down Home Drive-In while I was in Asheville for the weekend, and it was such a…read morefun spot! The whole place has a really cool, laid-back vibe with tons of personality. The decor gives you that classic down-home Southern feel, and they even have an area set up for live music. The band was getting ready as we were finishing dinner, so we didn't get to hear them play, but it definitely looked like a fun place to hang out, eat, and listen to some music. The nachos were SO good! They were loaded, full of flavor, and honestly one of my favorite parts of the meal. We also got the BBQ spread so we could try a little bit of everything. The brisket, smoked wings, and pulled pork were all delicious. The meat was definitely the highlight! The collards were probably the best I've ever had at a restaurant. I could've easily eaten a whole bowl of them and been perfectly happy! The baked beans had a pretty strong beer flavor, so those weren't really my thing. The potato salad could've used a little more seasoning too, but overall, there was plenty of food and everything had that comforting, casual down-home feel. I also tried the fresh lemonade, and it was really good...bright, refreshing, and definitely tasted fresh. It was $5 a glass, which is a little pricey for lemonade, but I still enjoyed it and thought it was a nice addition to the meal. And only had one glass. Thanks to the waiter for letting me know as I wanted a refill! Overall, Daddy Mac's was a great experience! Between the amazing nachos, flavorful meats, incredible collards, fun decor, and live music setup, it feels like the kind of place where you could easily spend a few hours eating, relaxing, and enjoying the atmosphere. I'd definitely go back, especially when there's a band playing!

Mama Mac (BBQterie board)- Brisket was cooked perfectly, but did not have much flavor or seasoning. Pulled pork was my favorite of what we had- that was seasoned wonderfully and cooked perfect. The wings (dry rubbed and smoked) were yum. Collards were good. Baked beans were good but super sweet. Cole slaw was nothing special. Pickles were super sweet as well. 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.

Perfectly textured firm slices of breaded, fried tomato are presented atop a pillowy bed of delicious grits and topped with two delicious sauces.

Major shout out to the homemade lemonade. My son ordered it as his beverage and I so enjoyed the few sips I stole from him, that I ordered my own to-go.

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.
