    Our family dined at Coyote Kitchen for a late lunch after visiting Hawksnest. I had researched Yelp…read moreprior, and based on the positive reviews and extensive menu I was excited for our family to give it a try. We were greeted promptly and were able to snag a table. I was surprised to see such a large crowd dining that time of day (2:30). But despite the busy flow of customers, service was wonderful, eager to answer questions, and very attentive. We started with the yuca fries. The absolute BEST I have ever had! Fresh, warm, well seasoned, and large portion. Our family of 5 ordered the Sedona bowl, Black & Blue burger, burrito, one of the boats, and the quesadilla, plus sweet fries and regular fries. We all thoroughly enjoyed our entrees! And loved all the fresh salsa options! Prices were also very reasonable! When we are in the area again, we will definitely return to Coyote Kitchen!

    This place was a disappointment! We saw plenty of good reviews and were tempted by the extensive…read moremenu so we decided to give it a try. Our waitress was nice and friendly but definitely struggling and the food itself was very mediocre. We arrived around 5pm on a Saturday and sat outside as a group of 7. We started with waters and then a couple trays of chips and salsa. We opted for the house fire roasted and pico options. The chips were a good portion but each one came with maybe one ounce of each sauce...for the 7 of us. We asked for extras and so she brought out one of each... I ordered a chicken vegetable soup which the menu stated was served with a cornbread muffin. When the soup came there was no cornbread so I asked for that and upon her return she said it would be an extra $2.50 even though I literally pointed to the menu to show her that was not written anywhere lol The soup was okay, probably Would've been better with the muffin but I wasn't going to argue over it anymore. For my entree I got two southwest chicken tacos. And those were disappointing as well. Packed with a lot but just did not deliver on flavor, and the poblano cremosa salsa I got was pretty bland too. Overall sentiment from other friends was similar- they ordered bowls, burritos etc but found a lot was left to be desired with their dishes. Come payment time, I opted to use cash since the menu stated 3% surcharge for credit. When I gave her a $20, she returned my tab (after processing the others who put a card in) and I explained I had left cash, to which she asked "oh do you want me to give you a 10 and two 5s?" And I explained, No I just want to pay with cash, I only need the change. And then she gave me the wrong amount of change. So all around this spot was definitely a let down. @azfitfoodfun

    Affordable, tasty,, convenient, and consistent. This place…read morehas never let me down. We've been coming up to Asheville every year since 2017 and Moes has never let us down. Beautiful Smokey flavors and amazing sauces. We always get the smoke wings and ribs platter. That Alabama white sauce on the wings is a match made in heaven! Ribs are soft and juicy. And always look out for their specials. I've tried the hush puppies and fried chicken during their daily socials and both have been amazing. Now the sides may be their weakest link. Mac and cheese is a bit dry and the cheese has no emulsion. The slaw is basically salt pepper and vinegar. Different from what I'm used to but not too bad. Other than that the bake beans were good and the corn bread were probably the best I have ever had. Nice, soft, airy corn bread with great flavors. I can eat them all day Oh and how long does it take to get your food? Less than 5 minutes! Service is friendly and quick. I love this place!!!

    MOE'S KNOWS! This was beyond amazing! This is what BBQ should be, every time Service was great!…read more One of the owners was even working and serving food. He had great conversation with us as well as with other customers, many of which were clearly regular locals. But we were welcomed with open arms and fed to hearts content! They have daily rotating sides and specials so always something new. I only regret not living here to be able to try them daily lol. Ambiance is exactly what you'd expect from a lowkey BBQ spot. Sorry no food photos, we ate before I could get any good ones ... my bad! If you don't stop and try Moe's, you'll never know the extent of your regrets. But hey, they say ignorance is bliss so do with that what you will :)

    ***UPDATE*** ~ I called the restaurant Wednesday evening to request a call back from Daddy Mac's…read moremanagement and Benjamin returned my call within a couple hours. We had a productive conversation in which we were both able to discuss the experience and come to a resolution. I am very grateful for the quick response, being open to call, and listen further. Thank you Benjamin! On another trip to Asheville, we will try it again..... ********************************************************** My family and I were quite excited about trying an unique restaurant and seen great reviews, however, our experience wasn't so great! Upon arriving at the restaurant, we had seen some items we wanted to try, but the sanitation grade on the door was a 90, so that quickly changed our food choice and should have changed our food experience for the evening. We decided to try it anyway! The hostess didn't know the menu very well and couldn't answer many questions without having to go ask someone each time. Once we ordered, my brother tried paying for the food a few times and she kept walking away. While waiting for our food, the same hostess "cleaned" a table for waiting guests by wiping the food from last guest onto the floor and leaving it there and continued to seat the next few tables, and then decided to come back and get the food swept up. I guess it's normal because another server did the same thing and that never got swept up. Our food (wings and brisket) was ready. The pan lid was not closed all the way due to them putting all 36 wings that had different flavors in the same container. We continued to inspect our food and the wings weren't hot (fresh), all three flavors in the same container, sauce was clumpy, and wings were very dark and dry looking. We couldn't tell which flavor was which. My husband tried conversing with a young man (tall, dark wavy hair), who couldn't or wouldn't attempt any service recovery with my husband and pretty much told us everything looked good to him leaving my husband frustrated. I located a manager told her what was going on and she evidently didn't have any empowerment from upper management to decide resolution because she had to go ask the general manager to resolve. The general manager agreed to "remake" the order which they did separate the flavors this time and they were warmer. Considering this was a remake the GM brought our order out to us and should have been apologetic, making sure everything was correct and was satisfactory to us. He literally handed my husband the bag and took off. My husband had to make a comment to him in order for the GM to acknowledge him. We definitely would love to speak to a corporate member and or owner, and will make a phone call to them. This was very disappointing, concerning, and a disheartening experience in Asheville!

    Driving by, my partner and I laughed at the name but it was very eyecatching and there were a lot…read moreof people and when we didn't know where to eat so late at night this place was still very busy! Their cod dip is very creamy and delicious, I love that it came with both crackers and toasted bread! My brisket Rueben was sooooo filling only able to eat one half and a hearty entree, collard greens were yummy with ham pieces and the brownie ice cream was massive and definitely worth it, highly recommend!!
