My boyfriend and I had our first date here. It's a lovely place with a homey atmosphere and friendly service, and the biscuits and apple butter are phenomenal. read more

Southern food prepared well. Reasonable prices and good sized portions. The Friday night $14.99 AYCE fish fry was well done. The included blackberry cobbler was a real plus. read more

Ambiance: lively, casual; the place had a Cracker Barrel vibe! Service: prompt, responsive Food: not much in terms of choices for vegetarians; we ended up ordering fish sandwich and a plate of sides. Half the farm fresh sides had meat in them so, Mac and cheese, coleslaw, a side of a salad and a tomato pie made to our plate. Biscuits with apple butter were ok; for everything else, salt was the general manager!!! Not for us. read more

Absolutely yuuuuuuuge pancake and delicious breakfast with top notch service. Loved it.

Every time I go to the Farmers Market I go by the Moose Cafe, and today finally stopped in for a late lunch. It was surprisingly busy for 2:30pm - usually a good sign. Noise level was very reasonable for the number of folks eating. I was seated immediately, and my server arrived before I even had time to settle in. I went for the meatloaf lunch, with mashed potatoes and gravy, and a side of sliced pickled beets and a biscuit. The slice of meatloaf was huge, but a bit bland. The biscuit was also huge, and darned near as good as my grandmothers. Mashed potatoes and gravy were creamy and tasty, and the beets were great. Interesting artworks for sale on the walls, and there was a small gift shop. Food was generally 3 1/2 stars, I rounded up to 4 for the biscuit and extremely quick service. read more

The food is dinner type. Good. The biscuits and apple butter are bomb! Coffee was also very good. Service is excellent and I did notice some local men not pay their bill and that was weird. The gift shop is cute. I went a while back. I would go back just for those biscuits. read more

We were visiting the Asheville area while attending a conference at the Billy Graham Training Center at The Cove. We had about 20 people in our group and they wanted to eat at the Moose Cafe. It was super busy on a Thursday at 1pm for lunch. We waited maybe 15 minutes to be seated. We weren't all able to seat together but we were close by. The waitress staff were super busy and we could tell they didn't have time to play around. Some were short answered and really didn't have time to really wait for the full question. I ordered the Homemade Meatloaf and it was big! In my opinion it was just OK. I had coleslaw and fries with it. The coleslaw was really good! The fries had great flavor. The food came out super fast. My wife order the Vegetable Plate. She said it good! We also loved the biscuit with apple butter (yum and the best!) I would give the biscuits and apple butter a 5 stars!!!! If we were in the area again I think we would come back but I would order something different. read more

Loud, bad service, food was okay. Wasn't what I was expecting and the moose burger was just "average" above McDonald's.

Tasty food, fast service and welcoming environment. The biscuits they start you with were good (not the best I've ever had). Ordered the four sides option. Portions were so generous I could only finish three. Traditional homestyle food for a good price. I'd come back! read more

Food is a solid 3.5 but the staff rounds up to a 4. There was a crowd when we arrived for a late lunch on Sunday but it still only took 10 minutes to be seated, a rarity in Asheville. The servers were all super quick and attentive. The food is classic southern and comes out quick. Chicken and dumplings is a side. The tables are close together but not nosey. Checks are paid at the counter and I think that helps the tables turn quicker. We also love a restaurant with a gift shop that sells apple butter and every size of moose themed decor. read more

All of the food was good but the waffle was the best waffle I have ever had. The staff was very nice.

Excellent service! Our waitress was fantastic-she was checking on us often and kept our drinks filled. The food was fabulous-the biggest biscuits I've ever had and they were so fluffy and paired with the applesauce spread YUMMY!! Very down home and relaxing atmosphere read more

We ordered the tuesday special which was a lb of fried catfish, chicken and dumplings, green beans, and the strawberry cobbler à la mode. I'm thankful we shared because we took a lot home! they do charge extra for sharing a plate fyi, was fine with us. Food was great, came out hot and fresh, would love to come back again :) read more

Great server! Upbeat and pleasant. It is such a fun place with lots of country decor including a deer head. We all had the Side Plate with a choice of 4 sides. There was a lot to choose from! I had the Collard Greens and Pinto Beans along with other fresh cantaloupe and Watermelon. It came with biscuits and cornbread. Wow! It was all delicious. read more

This is our regular go-to place when we visit Asheville. They have country cooking in a comfortable, casual setting. There is a small gift shop to buy items and they even sell local honey and jams. We didn't have a long wait. We were seated at a booth. They started us out with complimentary biscuits and apple butter. The biscuits were large and as soft as pillows. The apple butter was very light and not very rich-tasting like you normally find. Most meals you get a main entree and 2 sides. My favorite is the fried NC Mountain Trout. It's meaty and fried to perfection. The tartar sauce that comes with it is very good. For sides, I got the baked squash, which did not have much flavor, and chicken & dumplings, which I didn't like very much. It was too soupy with just thin strands of chicken and big globs of dough they were trying to pass off as noodles. All of us got it as a side but none of us liked it. One person got the chicken pot pie and it had good flavor, but the crust was on the bottom, and that was weird. It would have had better texture and crispness if the crust was on top. One person got the meatloaf and holy cow that piece was huge ! It was very light though in texture, not dense and heavy despite the size. The cornbread that came with all meals was very good and a bit sweet. They served beverages in cute little Mason jars. The restaurant is directly off I40, so very convenient and close to Biltmore Estate, Biltmore Village, and the Farmer's Market. It has a nice view and huge windows throughout the restaurant. read more

The food was very good. The service was amazingly fast given how busy the place was. The only remark I would make is that there was not a lot of option for alternative diets. I'm gluten and dairy free. So it was a bit of a struggle to find my food. They did try very hard though. read more

Favorite breakfast restaraunt in the area!!! If you are looking for that homestyle and hearty breakfast, then Moose Cafe is your final destination. The menu has everyone, no matter your age or health situation, covered. SO many delicious options. Expect to put your name on a list or call ahead (recommended). We've never called ahead, and the wait has been between 5 mins - 15/20 mins. When you enter the restaraunt, walk past the other patrons and find the hostess (don't worry, you aren't cutting in line) to get your name on the list. A lot of new folks won't know this and end up just standing there thinking they are in line or next to be seated. They have private parking and even a big moose that you'll want to take your picture with. Once you are done eating, take a stroll down to the farmers market which is to the right, as you exit. read more

I was hesitant to make a return trip here but thought I'd get it another chance and knew not to order the chicken and dumplings as they forgot the chicken last time. I went at a quieter time so there wasn't a wait and I was seated right away. My table had a nice view too. Service was friendly and I was given time to look over the menu. I went with the fish and got fries and spiced apples for the sides. It came with cornbread too. So after the biscuit with apple butter it was a lot of food. The food was all good and the portions large. I didn't finish the meal so no dessert this time. I will stop here again for a bite to eat. read more

The bitch that can hardly speak english or work the touch screen order thing is rude as hell. We told her that we needed a bit more time to look at the menu and she audibly sighed rolled her eyes and walked away. We also were having a birthday brunch and my husband and I arrived early. They will no seat if the entire party is not here which is completely understandable. When we went to the counter and told them that the rest of the party was here but they drove 2 hours and they have to use the bathroom. The place was very busy at the time and there was a line in the bathroom. We were question about where they were not once, not twice, but THREE times. I litterally could show them on my phone they were in the building just taking their time in the bathroom. The entire meal felt rushed and felt like we were being judged the whole time. We WILL NOT be coming back. The food is the only good thing about this place. read more

Excellent home cooking and atmosphere! Only downside was the eggs were very bland/cold. Everything else was amazing!

Great service and reasonable prices! Ordered The Biltmore and my husband ordered the Blue Ridge Mountain. Music was stellar...70's. It was like stepping back in time. read more

I use to love this place. The last two times I ate there were not good, not even meh. Their biscuits use to be fluffy and hot, not any more. The meatloaf sandwich was not edible, the fries were cold not cooked throughly and greasy. The fried chicken was dry and luke warm, and the apple cobbler was burnt tasting. They really have issues with food coming out hot. The staff is great. The tea is fresh and good. It's sad, like no one is in the kitchen supervising the food going out. I hope they get it together, it's an iconic restaurant. read more

We had a very nice dinner at a reasonable price. We would eat here again if we lived in the area. Old style cafe food. Obvious many of the locals frequent this place. We got a waitress that I don't think is one of their normal servers. Not attentive AT ALL and didn't even ask if we wanted more coffee. The other thing that is ridiculous is that you have to pay extra to get honey with your corn bread. Also the greens were probably the worst southern greens I"ve eaten - with little taste. They tasted like mine when I make them (a northerner). read more

Affordable prices for very mediocre food. Biscuits were too heavy and not fluffy. Chicken tenders were so lightly battered and dry. Quite disappointed. read more
