    Always great food and friendly service! Pro tip - add cheese, chili, and onions to your fries!

    These girls know waynors, and can they serve them up. The footling hot dogs are delish. Cheesesteak is pretty good as well.

    Little Louie's started out as a pop up/ghost kitchen during the height of the pandemic and it's no…read moresurprise that they would sell out of whatever dishes they were creating. We got to stop by their new location (they took over The Malvern) and everything about the visit was pure perfection. The food is hearty and comforting - they specialize in hoagies + perogies and their menu boasts some additional fun daily specials. If I could give you any recommendation this week it would be to swing by and grab a brisket + cheese - I promise it'll be one of the best things you've eaten this year. Ramp Perogies : Brisket + Cheese

I was eager to try this newish spot from the former co-owner of highly rated Buxton Barbecue, but it didn't turn out so well. Maybe I just didn't know what to order. I guess I'll try it again. Don't know how much time Louie's owner Elliott Moss, who hails from Florence, South Carolina, has spent in Pittsburgh or Cleveland or Poland or Ukraine, where pierogi (yes, that's the plural of pieróg in Polish) are famous. Here, ours with potato and cheese ($11) was totally unlike the classic style, which traditionally features dumplings filled with mashed potatoes and cheese, boiled, then lightly fried and served with onions and butter. What we had was a clump of pale white dough, not fried, with a small layer of potatoes and some kind of cheese on top, and no onions. Our beef brisket and cheese hoagie ($16.49) was messy to eat and looked like the filling was whipped up in a blender. Nothing like the famous hoagies in Phillie or elsewhere in Pennsylvania. Louie's fries ($7.95 for a large serving) were well cooked but oddly topped with pesto and served with a small cup of marinara sauce. I guess that's what a chef calls "creative," but frankly I'd rather have just good fries. There are just four drafts on the drink menu ($5 or $6), plus a selection of cans and bottles. I had the Green Man porter. The booze is well priced, with gin, vodka and bourbon mostly under $10. Again, I love the dive bar atmosphere, much of it left over from the former bar here, The Malvern. There's a silver-painted high tin ceiling, dark blue walls, funky booths and even taxidermy on the walls. Drink prices are very reasonable. But as for the food, I'd rather have a classic burger and fries, rather than a phony pierogi or a hokey hoagie. Maybe next time I should try the smoked wings or the egg plant hoagie. I think this could be a great neighborhood spot in west West Asheville, if the owner would rethink the menu and add some items he know how to cook.

The patio overlooks the golf course and gets a nice afternoon breeze. Service was good. Food was good overall. I'd give it a strong 4, but definitely not a 5. The pimento cheese burger with jalapenos was huge (must be half a pound of very high quality ground beef). So at $16, they aren't making a ton of profit on this meal. The side of sweet potato waffle fries was good but not great (a little too soft/not crispy enough). The blackened redfish sandwich was also good, but nothing stood out. There wasn't a lot of seasoning. The tartar sauce it was served with was okay, but it seemed like this sandwich needed a sauce with more zing (lemon garlic remoulade maybe?) to give the rather plain fish, with not a lot of seasoning, more flavor. The side of pimento mac-n-cheese was the high point of the meal. Using pimento cheese was a nice twist, and the top of the cheese covering the macaroni was nicely charred in places providing some crunch to contrast with the saucy cheese underneath. Limited beers on tap, but an interesting cocktail menu. It's definitely a great location with pretty good food, so a good place to eat in the countryside around Canton, NC.

Salads came out next. Meals ordered: I had the special chicken Marsala with fettuccine: my niece had Tuscan chicken with fried smashed taters; one great niece had grilled cheese with fries ; another great niece had chicken tenders Mac and cheese and fries ; nephew had braised short ribs over mashed taters and Mac and cheese hubby had a burger with fried smashed tater. The food was good with a few exceptions the Mac and cheese didn't have any flavor and the braised short ribs were more like stew meat in gravy. We loved the atmosphere in the building and the place was great to talk with members of your party. We will definitely try this place again

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.

My burger was fantastic, honestly one of the best I've had in recent memory. The Bbq flat bread was great too (had one bite of my wife's dinner). My youngest loved the lasagna too.
