What really stood out, though, was the exceptional service. Dante, the manager, was incredibly professional, attentive, and genuinely caring about the customers' experience.

Highly recommend The Madness if you're looking for great food and outstanding hospitality!

From really affordable amazing food to the small hometown dinner feel to the amazing service. We will definitely be back for many more trips. Also Roy the owner is a 1 of a kind.

Molly was super kind and gave me some insight on what to get. She recommended the drink in my picture, since she designed it. It's like a sweet old fashioned. The blackberry really stood out. Also the platter was such a great value. Brisket, chicken wings, sweet pickles, collard greens, mac n cheese, and potato salad for $35?? What a steal. I could cut the brisket with my finger! Shoutout again to Molly for hooking up my first drink for me. The hospitality was wholesome and if I'm down in that area again, I will definitely be visiting!

We were visiting Asheville for the Memorial Day holiday weekend and decided to check out Daddy…read moreMac's Down Home Dive. 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.

The artichoke might be a temporary item as I didn't see them on the on line menu. The pork shoulder was really moist but had been grilled prior to serving giving it a nice little bark on the outside. Link below for description. https://www.griffskitchenandbar.com/items/pork-shoulder?location=griffs-kitchen-and-bar&menu=food I took a pic but later deleted it as simply was too dark to really see anything.

First, our wait wasn't that long on a Saturday morning at 10. It took about twenty minutes and we got it to go. The chicken biscuit my husband ordered was delicious. The chicken perfectly moist and the breading was so crispy. My egg sandwich was good, although I do wish the egg wasn't scrambled. The potatoes and aioli were out of this world! Also recommend the strawberry jam as it was so fresh and flavorful with big chunks of strawberry. Self seating inside, decent atmosphere. Well worth the stop in! Parking wasn't bad either.
