All of the food rewarded our taste buds with its sparkling freshness. I was impressed from the moment I received my house salad. The lettuces and other vegetables were so beautifully crisp and appetizing and the dressing was freshly made on site. The protein bowl was my entree and couldn't have been more satisfying. It too was pleasing in its presentation with its perfectly grilled kernels of corn and chicken breast on top--Just delightful and the portion was generous so I had leftovers to take home. My husband enjoyed the roasted turkey with cornbread dressing. Again the portions were plentiful and the plating showed the kitchen's pride by making sure everything looked as good it tasted. I could go on, but suffice it to say that we went back a couple of nights later. The menu is so varied, we could eat here for days without repeating an entree. Thanks, BMB! read more

The Black Mountain Bistro - Hubby enjoyed the oyster stew on our second visit. - Southern Near Me - Black Mountain, North Carolina

What a wonderful restaurant with a beautiful patio! I dined alone, which is unusual for me. I started with the half order of Buffalo wings. They are fantastic. They're definitely spicy, so not for the faint of heart. I also ordered the smoked Gouda veggie wrap with sweet potato fries. It was delicious and had a generous amount of pesto and balsamic vinegar. I ordered the pineapple coconut cake to take home for the next day, and it was fantastic! It was so light and refreshing. My server was very attentive and had excellent hospitality. I'll definitely be back at the bistro when I'm in town! read more

Popular local eatery where we enjoyed a group dinner al fresco. Wait on a Tuesday night was ~20-25 minutes at the height of dinner rush. Everyone enjoyed their meals: small salad with golden beets (came with an excessive amount of salad dressing), Buffalo chicken wrap, flat bread, fried green tomatoes with potato pancake (a surprisingly heavy meal), and shrimp and grits (she wished the grits had not been fried). Plus generous pours of white wine. Friendly server-- hope we weren't too much trouble. We would definitely come back--we heard the trout is divine. read more

The Black Mountain Bistro - Small spinach and arugula salad - Southern Near Me - Black Mountain, North Carolina

This place looks popular and must always be slammed during busy seasons in Black Mountain. All the servers and staff were working so hard to seat and serve everyone in some very hot weather this week, and everyone was courteous and attentive. We had a bit of a wait, but not bad - about 20 min., which is what I'd expect mid-week the week before July 4. We had two of the beers on tap - a nice lager and an IPA. I had a burger with sweet potato fries - my husband had the Mac and cheese with hot honey and chicken fingers. The chicken was a tad dry but everything else was very good! We ordered a piece of pineapple coconut cake to take home and it was delish! Overall a really nice experience, with decent pricing. Recommend! read more

This was a great little café as you enter black Mountain, North Carolina. Incredible spot to eat and then afterwards walk around and shop. Plenty of things there to catch your eye from clothing to records to sports gear to local hardware store stores. I had the Reuben on gluten-free bread, which was one of the better Rubens I've ever had in my life. My son ended up ordering a kid burger, which was actually an adult size hamburger and my wife had to have sandwich and soup. Prices were completely fair and reasonable. This place is tucked away next to the town visitor center back in the woods and has a very cabin like feel. We will absolutely be back next time we're in Black Mountain.. read more

Service and ambiance was successful once again (my compliments to the bartender). After having a garden salad with citrus berry vinaigrette, which was the tartest vinaigrette I've ever had, I got the Blackberry Pork Chop entree, which was a large bone-in pork chop covered in blackberry BBQ sauce, served with a sweet potato hash and garlic green beans. The beans could have used a little more garlic but were still cooked properly and the hash nicely combined regular potatoes with sweet potatoes (i.e. the crunchy and soft textures). The pork was cooked perfectly, as the inside was glistening with those juices, and the texture melted in my mouth. The blackberry BBQ sauce gave it a great sweetness. Overall, this is how to celebrate one's 100th Yelp review!!! read more

My family and I came here for dinner and we all enjoyed the ambiance, food, and service. Although it was pretty busy, the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. I ordered the poke bowl which was more like a grain/Buddha bowl in my opinion since it had sweet potatoes, brussel sprouts, and mushrooms which are not typical poke bowl ingredients. Regardless, it tasted good, although I was disappointed that they forgot to add chicken as I had requested. read more

Outstanding food and service. We were able to sit outside and enjoy our time there. A real treat

Our first night in Black Mountain and our family enjoyed this meal, thoroughly. We did have to wait a while for someone to even to come to the hostess stand, maybe 10 minutes and I'm not sure why, there were tables open but maybe it was busy for them. My husband had the fried green tomatoes to start, he is always happy to order those wherever he can. I ordered the steak and the kids had burgers. Everything was really good and it was nice to sit outside in the fresh mountain air. Would definitely return here, it was my favorite meal of the trip! read more

This was our second visit. The food and service were excellent. I highly recommend the Black Mountain Bistro. The NC BLT is excellent although everything on the menu looks good and makes it hard to decide. read more

We loved it! The food was so tasty! I got the grouper Reuben w/Mac n cheese and husband got turkey and dressing. Really good sized portions and we ate every single bite. Honestly I had no idea this place was this special! So cute. Really kind people. Attentive service! We will be regulars from here on out! read more

Great menu. Service was good but seemed short staffed esp during weekend rush. Indoor seating was quick but nothing special. Shout out to kitchen staff who threw out orders quickly and on point. read more

We really like the atmosphere... very open feeling with a classy country design. The food is very good and plentiful. The fish and chips have some of the best breading. I've tasted on fried fish. Turkey and dressing is very well plated and displayed and tastes amazing. This is our first time here and it was a delight. Casual ambience with an upscale twist to country cuisine.. I really like what they've done here... This is a great go to in Black Mountain. read more

Great food, service and ambiance. I had breakfast there a few times always high quality.

First time up in Black Mountain and four of us were heading to The Cove for a Women's Retreat and decided to come here per recommendation from our Women's Ministry leader. We sat outside and so I never went inside to see the dining area. Nice and casual, there were plenty of outdoor seating which is ideal for this adorable town. Yet the food was absolutely delicious. I couldn't decide which one to pick so one friend and I each picked one and shared the other half. The goat cheese chicken wrap sounded so good, and the sweet potato fries were chosen as the side. It was very good BUT the hot chicken sandwich stole my heart (or at least my taste bud) as such wonderful flavor!! And the homemade chips were as addictive as were the fries. Great service and excellent experience. Plus, the company was fantastic. I look forward to the next time I visit Black Mountain as I will certainly be back here to eat! read more

Service was horrible! First there's nobody at the "to be seated" station. A bunch of people were standing around waiting for a table. Put our name in and went into the 5 seat bar area to have a glass of wine while we wait. 15 min later a person came by and was able to get a glass of wine. Finally sat at a table and ordered an appetizer. That came out at after 20 min. When it came out we ordered salad and entrees. We finished appetizers and 30 min later I had to ask where our server was. She finally came out and said sorry but they were backed up. She never asked how we were doing before I had to ask for her. It's a shame because the appetizer was delicious and I'm sure the entree would have been good as well. This place is poorly managed, the staff looked sleepy and unkept. read more

We have been here several times for lunch and finally getting around to writing a review. Great staff, nice cozy indoor and welcoming outdoor seating area!! ...The Gorgonzola cranberry salad is fabulous, turkey and dressing entree great too!!! But lately I've been having the soup and sandwich combo...The soup of the day paired with the 1/2 club sandwich ( whole sandwich for $2.00 more ) is just so good! Will not disappoint,...Give them a try!!! read more

Food and service were good. Sat in the sun room area .. you could hear everyone's conversations unfortunately.

I don't write reviews of restaurants often. So when I do, it's because it was fantastic! My hubby and I went for a quick weekend out and spent the night in Black Mountain. We settled on this restaurant for dinner, and it did not disappoint! We started with the fried pickles which were fabulous! Hubby got a burger which he thought was great, but the highlight of the evening was the Fall for Pasta. Gnocchi with pancetta, apple, arugula and peas in a garlic cream sauce. Out of this world!! I never thought of apple in a pasta dish, but just wow! And the little garden salad as an accompaniment was fresh and delicious. I am still dreaming about that pasta! Worth a drive back soon!! Oh, then try the Lookout Brewing Company afterwards for great beer, wine, music and chill vibe!! read more

Food was excellent! Our server was great and it was a beautiful view and day for dinner !

In the quaint mountain town of Black Mountain amidst the surroundings of the Appalachian Mountains, sits the Black Mountain Bistro. A large outdoor dining area is spread in front of the establishment. This resturant is clearly an area favorite. When you stroll through the large outdoor patio, you can observe the banter and delight of multiple parties of friends and families enjoying a great meal in beautiful surroundings. The service here is attentive and polite. The indoor area has a full bar and a nice indoor dining venue. The menu is varied, from full entrees to sandwiches and salads. I had the Reuben sandwich, a grilled corned beef, dressing, and sauerkraut plied high on a delightful marbled rye. The menu is replete with fresh ingredient meals and I'm sure anyone would find something to fit their taste. Great jobs folks!! Well done creating a well run delightful local eatery. read more

Fried Mushrooms and Fried Green tomatoes were excellent, I highly recommend them. Grouper Reuben? In my opinion, was not grouper. Very thin and fishy. Couldn't eat it. I've never had "fishy" grouper. I did let the waiter know, he didn't seem to care. read more

We were in Black Mountain to help serve a Christmas meal to the folks devastated by Hurricane Helene and afterwords we got a bite to eat at the Black Mountain Bistro. It was six of us and we had everything from smash burgers to turkey BLT, Brunswick stew and chili. Everyone thought the portions were huge and delicious. The waitress gave great service! We would recommend Black Mountain Bistro if you are looking for a great place to eat! read more

Food was just okay with fried food such as sweet potato fries and fish and chips not being crispy. However, great service and atmosphere.

This is a nice little restaurant in Black Mountain with outdoor and indoor seating. We went after a hike and I will say it was a bit more pricey than I expected.

What can I say about this lovely restaurant? The food is yummy, the atmosphere is outstanding and the service excellent! This is our second time here. The first time we sat outside under an umbrella with our two doggies. This time we sat outside under the covered patio. I ordered the sautéed trout with the fish chowder, green beans with garlic, and broccoli. Dave had the crab cake dinner, the fish chowder, homemade French fries and coleslaw. He raved about the crab cakes which actually had fresh crab! Then he asked Will about the desserts and chose the three layer chocolate cake. It was like a chocolate celebration, chocolate drizzle, icing, curls and chocolate cake. Super delish! I had to taste it lol! What a beautiful evening eating outside with my best friend in the mountains! We love supporting local community businesses wherever we go! read more

What an unexpected treat to experience this place for a lunch time gathering of old friends. My friend Jayne B that I have not seen since 1988 from my days with EAL in KC and my HS friend Tina M from Lakeland all met up here for a wonderful gathering and a walk down memory lane. The menu was outstanding, the food quality was exceptional, the portion were eye popping and the value was off the charts. We had great service from Susie Q. We shared an order of the fried green tomatoes which were delicious. I had the Pan-fried local trout with lemon chardonnay butter sauce, served over organic grits & fresh vegetables it was amazing! We all took home a to go box, it was just so good and plenty of food to enjoy later. There is a patio and a porch for outside dining when the weather suits. The parking lot is small so get there early! read more

Great food for a small town. Everything we ordered was delicious. So much more than just a deli!

Excellent lunch! Both of us had soup and sandwich.: a delicious cup of seafood bisque and half a sandwich. The service was fairly quick and it was quiet enough for good table conversation, as a bonus, the price was reasonable. We'll be back next time we're in town. read more

We enjoyed a wonderful lunch at the Bistro after walking around town. We enjoyed sitting out on the patio. Our server, Alex, was very friendly and helpful. The food was a great portion. The Fried mushrooms were our favorite thing. We also had the grouper Rueben and crab cake( which thankfully didn't have filler ). Such a nice place for a glass of wine with lunch to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery. read more
