I am trying to catch up on some restaurant activity in Asheville from where to eat, who is opening, and who is closing.

Applebee's, 1655 Hendersonville Road, Asheville, North Carolina 28803-4132

Applebee's on Hendersonville Road closed Tuesday, 27 December 2016.

Cook Out, 1655 Hendersonville Road, Asheville, North Carolina 28803-4132

Cook Out is opening in the former Applebee's on Hendersonville Road. Bids for construction, which is interior demolition and keeping the building shell, are due Friday, 18 August 2017.

I truly cannot imagine why anyone would eat at an Applebee's in Asheville.

Default Applebee's #86051, 115 Tunnel Road, Asheville, North Carolina 28805-1817

I dined at Applebee's #86051, 115 Tunnel Road, Asheville, North Carolina 28805-1817, approximately 18 years ago after visiting Biltmore. I think I had a sirloin. The price was higher and the portion was small.

Applebee's has changed quite a bit, for the better. At least the one on Four Seasons Blvd. in Hendersonville is excellent. "Almost" too much food. There is usually a small waiting line to get in also. So they must be doing something right. (FWIW also, I'm not big on chain restaurants at all).

Whats popular down town ! Most any place you go as lines can be down the side walk at prime time with many but that does not means its really good or cost smart . I tried a few place's over years ago in the down town area but found food was only higher priced , not better or as good as can be found away from town center like south Asheville , haywood rd or as you head out toward weaverville .
And parking is always an issue in down town .


Get on yelp or trip advisor and root around for what you want to try . I think some of the best locations went under do to location , building sold , so business closed or in fighting between family members in a couple locations . If you like down home southern food tupelo honey try's to pass them self off as that but not very good if you were raised on good southern food . Best Italian - The Glass Onion in Weaverville NC . 10 minutes north of Asheville . Great food but $$$ . Want lower price go to carababa's !! Asian - Again in Weaverville - SOBA's Good all around Asian

There's a new restaurant in W Asheville called Jarden which everyone is ranting about if you like that kind of food. There's also 9 Mile there. So many choices...

Exactly, much like going to NYC and "dining" at Red Lobster or TGI Friday's.
