Best Casual Restaurants in Weaverville

Fun and interesting food options and terrific dining experience. Tastes were amazing. Portions are decent. We were full after a really good beet appetizer and sharing one another’s entrees. We will return.

Food, staff and atmosphere was wonderful. Price they went up on price of Buffett along with parking. Very expensive but good for special occasions.

The food was delicious and the service was great. The mushroom ragú was very hearty and tasty. The striped bass special was fresh and properly cooked. We shared a delicious brownie with gelato. The pasta, brownie and gelato were all house-made. They have a nice bourbon offering and good wine selection.

Started out the night with a VERY nice welcome. The server arrived at our table with a smile and quickly took our drink order. When she came back with our drinks, she explained some of the options on the menu. She wasn’t rushing us she just wanted us to make a great choice. Because of her explanation, my wife and I ordered something different than our original selections. The food came out hot and tasty. The server and restaurant were very busy but we never felt rushed or the time wasn’t too long in between courses. PERFECT pace. PERFECT food! PERFECT service. Did I mention everything was PERFECT?

We had an excellent dinner at Rye Knot! Our group of five included two people who eat gluten-free, and we were pleasantly surprised by the number of options available – way more than their website or Yelp lets on. If you’re gluten intolerant, this place is a hidden gem with tons of choices. We’re always on the lookout for spots north of Asheville, and Rye Knot was a great new find. My wife ordered a gluten-free Reuben with gluten-free fries, and my daughter had a gluten-free sandwich. The rest of us enjoyed the fish and chips, a filet, and the meatloaf – everything was delicious. Portions were generous, leaning on the larger side, which we appreciated. The drink menu is extensive, with lots of beer and cocktail options. Every bar order we tried was excellent. While they seemed a little short-staffed, the service didn’t skip a beat. The manager, chef, and bartender all pitched in to help serve, and it really showed – we didn’t experience any delays. The atmosphere is relaxed, with a laid-back, unpretentious, and slightly military-inspired vibe. Rye Knot is definitely on our list of places to return to. Highly recommend!
