Twisted Laurel Downtown Asheville

Really enjoyed our meal here and will come back when we are in town again.

We were really looking forward to trying this place but were extremely disappointed. After waiting thirty minutes to be seated we were placed in the sloped outside area where we felt like we were falling the whole meal. My chicken sandwich was ridiculously huge but entirely flavorless. There was no salt used in the batter and the fries were missing salt. My wife's pasta dish suffered the same and, to boot, the portion was extremely small. We don't ask for much, but as it turns out, salting the food during cooking is a must for us. You can't just throw some salt on a piece of cooked, breaded chicken and it turn out as flavorful as if it had been cooked properly from the start. The waiter seemed like he could have cared less whether or not we had a good time and only checked in on us once. The whole staff in fact seemed like they hated being there. It wasn't a fun experience and we definitely won't be going back. I can't say I enjoyed eating around a bunch of dogs either. So, do yourself a favor and eat at a restaurant with some flavor.

Juice running down my face scrumpdilicious. We arrived in Asheville hunnnngggry and wanted a burger. This place was literally in our backyard. Fantastic outdoor patio (dog friendly). Smash burger did not disappoint. Homemade fries outstanding cocktail was delish

Excellent service and food. Great for breakfast or lunch.

Great atmosphere and food was fantastic. We had the crab cakes and the trout. Both were phenomenal!
