If you like hummus, do not miss their hummus. It was outstanding. The service was also great: attentive but not overbearing, just right. I managed to leave my credit card on the table, and that's where the care and courtesy really started to shine. Robert, the restaurant manager, held on to my card and called me to let me know he had it. Unfortunately, we live in a cell phone-free area! When his message came through and I called, I found that he had left my card in the hotel safe. Peggy Miller also had a hard time reaching me, but she also did not take no for an answer. When we finally connected, I was able to go and pick my card up, no problems. So well done, Folklore Restaurant and Hilton Hotel!

The potatoes were seasoned beautifully and had a nice little crisp to them. The sandwich was filled with flavors that worked like a brunch charm, and the bread was well-toasted. Overall, this place knows how to provide a good brunch.

Puppy-Approved Pit Stop…read more A quick trip to the Asheville area to grab some equipment turned into a brunch stop on the way home! With our pup in tow, we needed somewhere dog-friendly with outdoor seating -- and this place delivered. It was raining when we pulled up, but the patio was well-covered with plenty of seating. Staff even moved our table to keep us clear of the weather and made sure our seats were fully dried off before we sat down -- small touch, big impression. Our hostess greeted us with menus -- including a menu for the pup! Absolutely adorable, and such a nice touch that they cater to the four-legged family members too. Our waitress was just as sweet, friendly and on top of everything throughout the meal. We kicked things off with a "Make It Spicy" Mary and an IPA. Fried green tomatoes are a must-order for me wherever I go, and this version -- panko-crusted, served over creamy stone-ground goat cheese grits with red pepper coulis and fresh basil -- lived up to every word of that description. Crispy, creamy, with a nice pop of flavor: proper Southern cooking. For mains, I went with the sweet & spicy fried chicken & waffles -- hand-breaded crispy tenders drizzled with sriracha honey over golden buttermilk waffles -- and it did not disappoint. Sweet, savory, perfectly crisp, with waffles that were light and fluffy with a gorgeous golden crust. I cleared my plate. My partner, on the other hand, wasn't a fan of his bourbon peppercorn glazed meatloaf (a scratch-made beef and chorizo blend) -- so much so that he left most of it and said flatly, "It's gross, I'd never order that again." The mashed potatoes, at least, were a hit. A little bittersweet for me, since I loved everything on my plate and wished he'd had the same experience. So we'd come back, he'd just order something else next time!

This was my first time to try this restaurant. I've seen it as I drive-by and finally decided to…read morestop and give it a try. My server was very polite. The ambience is very average. Just a nice little place to go in and get some food, while dressing casually. The food is fairly expensive and I must say just basic in terms of flavor. I started with an appetizer brussels sprouts. The seasoning on the brussels sprouts was very nice. The portion was good, however, I left 3 to 4 brussels sprouts as they were undercooked and just too hard to eat. I personally don't like to pay for something I'm not able to eat. I tried a Caesar salad, as my entrée. The dressing was just okay. The lettuce was a bit tough. I did not finish the salad I have to say I was not thrilled. My waitress told me they seem to be known more for their burgers so if I ever decide to give this a second try, I think I'll stick with the burger.

I wished we had ordered cornbread instead of the chip! Next time! Then our meals came out. I had the prime rib sandwich which was absolutely delicious. Hubby had the halibut special with garlic butter. Oh my goodness, the flavors were out of this world! We were so full from our wonderful meal we didn't have room for dessert.

We ordered the Pimento Cheese Chicken BLT Sandwich (+ Sweet Potato Casserole) and the Rocky's Royale w/ Cheese Sandwich (+ Pickles). The "sandwich" aspect of both meals took away from the shining star - which was the chicken. The pieces of bread just got in the way and made it harder to eat - not to mention that the bread was cold - not toasted. We both ordered "hot" - which when you ate the chicken itself - had such a nice kick. Next time - skip the sandwich aspect and just get the hot chicken + side of pickles. The sweet potato casserole was fine - but it's the chicken you want to write home about. Staff-wise / ordering / atmosphere was great. Everyone was very helpful and had it not been raining - we would have sat on the large outdoor patio.
