Blue Ridge

The best brunch buffet I've ever had!

We really enjoyed our evening at the Blue Ridge and have placed it on our list of "Special Places to Dine". It was a wonderful experience. We shall definitely be returning in the future.

Excellent spread with great variety. Gorgeous view. The prime rib could have been warmer. Wish I had saved more room for dessert because they all looked delicious!

I took my fiancé here for his birthday and he loved it! One of my new favorite spots. The dessert selection was incredible! The view was lovely, I wish we would have requested window seating. Wonderful, polite staff. I’m already excited for our next visit.

So, if you're at the Grove Park Inn your dining options are already limited. We decided to try the Seafood buffet ($45 per adult). There was lots of variety--maybe too much, but the taste quality was so-so: too many fried things, too many sauces on stuff. Our server was kind, but overstretched. The wine selection is reasonable, but overpriced. And the noise makes it difficult to hear someone across a 2-person table. I can't imagine what a party of 6 would do.

Great seafood buffet! Worth it!

We have been to the Blue Ridge several times and each time it has been memorable. The food choices are amazing, the restaurant scene is warm and inviting, and the wait staff and service folks are very friendly and helpful but not hovering or intrusive. It is our favorite place to take special people for special occasions.

We haven’t been to the Sunday brunch in years but it was even more wonderful than we remembered. If you want to do something special with family or friends brunch here is a great choice. They have everything from seafood including shrimp and crab legs to an omelette station to an overwhelming choice of desserts. We had excellent service as well and will definitely return again!

We had a wonderful experience! The views are amazing and the service was unreal! I highly recommend the champagne Sunday brunch 👏🏻

Had the prime rib buffet and could not believe how many food options there were. Too many to list and they were all delicious including the banana fosters station. I left stuffed.

Really enjoyable evening. Food was exceptional. Wait staff courteous. Abveance very appealing. My date gorgeous and beautiful.

Sunday brunch is a great selection of breakfast lunch and dinner items plus huge array of desserts...all on one buffet spanning several rooms...and a complimentary mimosa!

Sunday brunch is absolutely incredible! A must do activity when in Asheville! Will definitely be back!

Service was very good and most of the food was good; however, the crab legs were still frozen. Over all I would come again.

Incredibly elegant with delicious options in the buffet

Excellent Food, Service, and most the Views. Would love to see more rooms to stay in for a weekend at a lesser value but overall, OUTSTANDING.

We were so excited to try this restaurant. The actual quality and selection of food was great BUT nothing we ate was above lukewarm or even room temperature....not even the soup! The clam chowder has such an excellent taste as did the fish, shrimp and other items.....it was just not hot. We were so incredibly disappointed! It is definitely not worth the $50 per person. I think the restaurant needs to rethink how they try to keep their food warm for a buffet.

We ended up going to the seafood buffet on a recommendation from a friend, they told us that there was every kind of seafood that was in the ocean there. However we were very disappointed to find out that that was not true. The foods were located in three rooms salads and starters in one hot food in a second and desserts in the third. Starting with the salads the choices were outstanding and delicious, the Oysters Rockefeller were dry and the oysters were still attached to the Shell, I've had Oysters Rockefeller many times and the oysters are always loose so that you could just pick them up I got three of them and ended up only eating 2 . The kale salad I think was the best, the blue cheese Caesar salad was my wife's favorite , the Sea Foods selections were very limited, almost to the point of what you can typically get at Ruby Tuesday's, the salmon and risotto was tasty but the salmon was dry, the crab legs were cold, unless you dug way down in the bottom of the steaming tray, the choices were cornmeal and crusted catfish, frog legs which were very good, shrimp and grits with tasty, clam chowder was salty, the flank steak was okay but spicy, we did not get the fish tacos there was a very large roasted grouper that they were kicking me off to make the tacos I can get fish tacos at any call but I wasn't going to pay $50 for fish tacos, desserts, the Bananas Foster , and the bread pudding, we're by far the best choices they had a short cake Buffet will you could make your own and an incredible selection of little desserts and little dessert cups the creme brulee was also fantastic. I thought the drink prices were pretty high my wife got a peach Palmer which was sweet tea vodka lemonade and Peach puree for $14 and I got a bourbon Manhattan for $16, we spent the $145 for for two people, and we walked away a little disappointed and probably won't go back to the seafood buffet, Robert was our server he was fantastic very attentive.

My husband I appreciated the acknowledgement of our anniversary. We were disappointed that there were no cold crab legs. Also, the crab cakes, which years ago, were delicious, are now pretty bad. Also, there was not a meat option (such as the prime rib station). Staff is wonderful and attentive. The price is pretty high to us, so given our disappointments with the food as of late, we will probably dine here less and less often. Still, kudos to Michael, the host, also the person who cleared our plates, brought us our drinks, etc. last night. Would only now recommend to tourists.

Could not have asked for a better night, our server Kari, was spot on and went about what was expected, made the night a memorable one, we were given a tour, then seated, we were celebrating a anniversary and she congratulated us then brought the ladies a rose and a plate with chocolate and pastries, food was excellent, service was impeccable, Thank you for the wonderful night

Wonderful place and food is great!! Fun place to celebrate a birthday or anniversary with family!!

An amazing place to visit. When we visit again, we'll make this a "must visit" to enjoy more of the dining options. The View from our table was one of the most amazing we've ever had.

We've been a few time and it's always the same. Great food , great service. We love coming to Blue Ridge for our special occasion dinners.

One of the best brunches I have experienced & incredible views

We had a great dinner, food very good.

Loved the experience! We are local and make a point to dine there at least twice a year.

We ate on Friday when they had the seafood buffet. Really great selection of seafood, salads, and desserts. The view is incredible!!! Service was good.

Great food! Beautiful view! Excellent service! Glad that Blue Ridge was recommended to us!

The food was over the top. I bragged so after coming before I was hoping my husband would have as good of an experience and HE DID!!! It was run like a well oiled machine and the Maitre d' deserves a pat on the back and a raise!! It was so obvious nothing could be this perfect without someone at the top attending to all the details. I honestly can't think of a thing I would change and I am picky!! We will be back and soon.

I drive for Uber and Lyft and I constantly suggest eating at the Blue Ridge .

We came on a Friday night and the only foods available on the buffet were seafood and desserts. The bread was cold. The New England clam chowder was spicy. The crab legs were so overcooked they were disgusting and mushy. Most of the desserts were quite nice. For $45 per person, we were extremely disappointed. It was loud and crowded and we didn't get to enjoy the view because the shades were down most of the time. The servers were very pleasant and took good care of us. Otherwise, we would not recommend it. We wish we had gone to one of the restaurants in town.

The seafood buffet was average. The crabs cakes were delicious, boiled shrimp good, but the fried shrimp not that great. Too many cold fish options. When I think of a seafood buffet, I think of oysters, scallops, shrimp, flounder -- either fried, broiled, or grilled. The dessert buffet did make up for the lack of real seafood.

Quiet brunch with a couple of close friends. The view of the Blue Ridge Mountains was amazing and so restful. My only wish was that we could have sat right at a window but those were all two seat tables.

the food was exceptional as was the service...and the manager took great care of our needs.
the BLUE RIDGE is lucky to have a helpful, energetic employee such as this gentleman....hare
working and paying attention to everyone's needs and wants.l And the view is always perfect.

Amazing brunch!!! Would recommend to anyone in Asheville.

We have been coming to this restaurant for the last 4 years for the brunch because it was our and our friends anniversary. Last year we noticed a change, the food was not near as good and the choices weren’t as many. We decided to give it another chance and we were not satisfied again this year. The crab legs/fish were good, the salad bar is good, there is not any choice of vegetables (besides salad bar) except for green beans (which were not cooked well) and 2 types of potatoes. Everyone of us got desserts, which were beautiful, but did not eat them because they were not flavorful. We did not try the beef because the line was so long, it was the only other meat option besides small, fried chicken nuggets. The staff here are always so wonderful, so I am hesitant to type this, but the food was sub-par for what we pay. I am sorry to say, we are on the lookout for our yearly celebration for next year, as we will not be coming here. 😢

The food was delicious and the views were stunning!

Everything was great that’s our third time eating there and it was our 30 anniversary enjoyed it very great place to eat

Our experience was great but not as perfect as our previous experiences. We definitely still recommend it; however, and will return.

The Grove Park Inn is beautiful, parts are aging but worth the trip. We could not get a table for 6 at the Terrace Restaurant so tried the buffet. Food was mediocre at best. Carving station was delicious. Mashed potatoes were like paste, shrimp was way overcooked, pork was too dry to eat. Vegetable of the day, snap peas were fresh. Buffet lacked vegetables. Desserts were ok...many contained nuts, which 3 of us had allergies to. Would not recommend to people who like good food over quantity. Ok place for children. Bill was over 400 plus the tip. Aside from the spectacular views, don't waste your money.
