    outside of restaurant

    the food was very good. cute little hole in the wall place. like a step back in time. everyone was helpful and nice.

    a sandwich and french fries

    Stopped by for lunch while working in the area. Had two all beef chili cheese and slaw dogs with fries. The service was fast and the food was great. I'll definitely be back.

    A little GPS roulette led me to Hot Dog King, 1.3 miles away off of I-40. Hmmmmm. I could go for a hot dog. From the outside, looks like a tiny little building, no frills kind of place. I order a number one, $4.29, one dog, chili, mustard and onion, french fries and a Coke. Delicious, simple boiled hot dog, yellow mustard, hot french fries. My french fry barometer rated it "hot, hot, hot." I really wanted a fountain coke, all they had were plastic bottles and cans. But their sinful, white bread split top buns made me forget all about it.

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

Mama Mac (BBQterie board)- Brisket was cooked perfectly, but did not have much flavor or seasoning. Pulled pork was my favorite of what we had- that was seasoned wonderfully and cooked perfect. The wings (dry rubbed and smoked) were yum. Collards were good. Baked beans were good but super sweet. Cole slaw was nothing special. Pickles were super sweet as well. The BBQ sauces were great we tried all 3. Our favorite was the cheerwine one. They were out of 2 appetizers and potato salad which was supposed to come with the barbequterie board, so they let us choose what to sub it with. We picked cowboy caviar which ended up being okay, not much flavor there. The salad in a jar was good, you dump it into a bowl yourself. The jar was great because everything on the salad was portioned perfectly! Loved the chicken in the salad too. Only waited a few minutes for a table at 2:30p on a Sunday holiday weekend. There is an attached free parking lot and we were able to get a spot, but when we left there were no spots left and someone was waiting for our spot. There is street parking as well.

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

    Atmosphere at Little Louie's Hoagies & Pierogies? Very dive bar cool…read more Service? Friendly and helpful. Prices? Fairly reasonable for these times. Food. Meh. 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.
