12 Bones Smokehouse
Hands down the best BBQ in Asheville! The "South" location will be open for lunch on Saturday and both locations are open for lunch on Monday . We recommend the ribs and pulled pork with baked beans and mac n' cheese...mmm.
Wicked Weed Brewing Pub
In our opinion, it's the best brewery in town! They have a large selection of beers (especially IPAs) and delicious food.
Papa's & Beer
This is Evan's favorite Mexican restaurant of all time...you have to try the Enchiladas Mexicanas.
French Broad Chocolate Lounge
This is one of our favorite date night spots in Asheville. The French Broad Chocolate Mocha Stout Cake is our go-to!
River Arts District
This part of town is an artist's dream, featuring #InstaWorthy murals and local shops.
Blue Ridge Parkway
If you want to squeeze some hiking in while you're in town, the Blue Ridge Parkway is just a 25 minute drive from Asheville. Some of the our favorite hikes include Craggy Gardens, Graveyard Fields and Mt. Pisgah.
Asheville Pizza & Brewing Company
Stop by for a slice or a whole pie, which you can customize however you like (pro tip: get the parmesan cheese crust). Plus they brew their own beer!
Mamacita's Taqueria
An awesome spot downtown for quick and flavorful Mexican food. Evan's favorite is the Nacho Daddy with chipotle chicken.
Bhramari Brewing Company
An awesome brewery with interesting and seasonal beers. They have a spacious deck where you can enjoy your brew and the outdoors.
Catawba Brewing
Another great brewery that's worth checking out with a wide variety of beer styles.
Bouchon
If you love French cuisine, you have to try the steak frites at this place! This is one of our favorite restaurants for a romantic dinner in Asheville.
Mela Indian Restaurant
This place is our go-to for Indian food. We recommend trying their lunch buffet — voted the best lunch in Asheville!
The Omni Grove Park Inn
This historic hotel has the best view of the sunset. It's also the spot where Evan popped the question! Stop by the hotel lobby to grab a coffee or cocktail and enjoy it on the terrace overlooking a beautiful view of the city.
WNC Nature Center
We love visiting the Nature Center to see and learn about all the adorable animals that are native to Western North Carolina.
Rankin Vault Cocktail Lounge
Voted the best burger in Asheville — we can confirm, it's amazing! Plus their cocktail game is strong.
Asheville Yacht Club
Asheville's own rock n' roll tiki bar serves local brews and delicious tots.
Buxton Hall Barbecue
Another great spot in Downtown Asheville to grab some authentic North Carolina BBQ.
Juicy Lucy's Burger Bar and Grill
Cheese stuffed inside a burger patty — enough said.
Early Girl Eatery
Stop by for a true southern-style breakfast!
Vortex Doughnuts
Hot and fresh donuts — need we say more? Gabbie's favorite is the classic glazed donut with a chai tea latte.
Double D's Coffee & Desserts
Why not order your morning coffee in a double decker bus?
High Five Coffee
One of Evan's favorite local coffee shops!
Bojangles' Famous Chicken 'n Biscuits
No trip to the south would be complete without chicken n' biscuits (do yourself a favor and get the cajan chicken).
Cook Out
This is the only fast-food joint where you can get a burger, chicken nuggets, a quesadilla, and a milkshake for $6. If you're looking for something fast, cheap and delicious...take yourself to Cook Out.
