Asheville Guidebook
Food scene
Asheville has so many amazing restaurants. Wayside is rarely mentioned among the "must-eat" places, but it should be. We've been here a few dozen times and have yet to have a complaint at all. The food is excellent, the prices are more than fair, and the hours are better than nearly every other restaurant in Asheville. They offer a full bar but still manage to be family friendly. Forget the world-famous chefs' restaurants; this might be our favorite place in Asheville. Located in Biltmore Village, this gem is less than a mile from your stay!

Always delicious with HUGE servings. I love their twist on traditional Mexican food combined with 'Ashevillian' accents.
Try to plantains as an appetizer! You won't be disappointed.

The Biltmore is a must see! I have been over 20 times and still have not been able to appreciate every detail. Plan to spend all day here. I'd suggest an audio tour as you walk through the home so you can hear the history of each room at your own pace. Don't forget to save time to check out the award winning gardens!
