The restaurant closed for several weeks with no advance warning to anyone that had standing reservations. Kind of difficult to get last minute reservations elsewhere at 7 pm on a Friday. Kind of hard to fathom that lack of service from a James Beard winner.

The burger was fabulous! Selected the restaurant from the Open Table website based on reviews and it was an excellent pick! They didn’t have the onion rings we were excited about, but that burger!!!
Thank you Wendy, we are so pleased you enjoyed your time with us! We are sorry about the onion rings - we know what a bummer that is but we are so glad you loved the burger! We hope to see you again soon so you can have those rings!!
We loved the atmosphere of the restaurant and the food was outstanding! I had the cheeseburger and it was cooked perfectly. The pretzel was delicious and I wanted to take the dipping sauce home with me! Will definitely visit again when in Asheville!!
Food was excellent. Probably the best burger in Asheville! They have a create your own charcuterie board and it was great. We liked being able to pick out the cheeses and meats that we liked. My partner got a boozy chocolate shake and loved it. We sat outside. There were heaters so it was the perfect temperature. Overall, a really great date night spot.
Thank you so much, we are thrilled you think us the best burger in Asheville!! We love making great food and drinks and we are so happy you enjoyed your time with us. We look forward to your next visit!!
Delicious!! Well worth it!!
Thank you so much! We are so happy you enjoyed your time with us and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
Interesting menu and good layout of restaurant, but disappointing food. So many better options in Asheville. Won't be going back.
Hello, we wanted to check in and see where we missed the mark. We are constantly striving to improve and any insight you can offer would be greatly appreciated. You can reach us directly at manager@hfburgeravl Have a great day!
We’re native ATLiens, so we had to swing by and see if the Asheville location is holding it down. No surprises - wonderful food, reasonable prices, and lovely staff. Cannot for the life of us see why some of the reviews on here talk poorly of the staff, food, and prices. All three were tip-top for us. In fact, we visited 2X in just 3 days! If you’re a burger purist this will come as no shock to you. We sampled the fried chicken skins, pimento cheese, deviled eggs, onion rings, and hand pie in addition to the burger and hotdog. Make sure to try both the homemade mustard and homemade ketchup! Oh, and where else can you get sticky toffee pudding outside the UK - one the the best dessert dishes on the planet?
Thank you so much Chad!! We are thrilled you enjoyed your time with us so much you doubled down for another visit. We love what we do and are so pleased you took the time to say how much you love it too!! We look forward to seeing you again soon!
After reading the hype, I tried them on a very quiet Sunday lunch. The burger, while tasty, was nothing more than a glorified Five Guys or Shake Shack burger. Onion rings light on the onion and salty. Large portion, as were the fries for my buddy. Fried oysters cooked nicely coming with a remoulade. Homemade ketchup was very good.
Hi! Thank you for joining us on Sunday. I am so glad to hear you enjoyed our fried oysters (one of my personal favorites) and ketchup. At H&F, we strive for excellence in both service and food, and I apologize that we did not live up to your expectations. We hope you will give us another opportunity to serve you soon!
It was great, fries were amazing!
Thank you, we are so pleased you enjoyed your time with us and we love that you you're a fan of our fries!! We hope to see you again soon!
Absolutely wonderful!
Thank you Carolann, we are so happy that you enjoyed your time with us! We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Great food and atmosphere for a casual early meal!
Thank you Marge, we are so pleased you enjoyed your time with us and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
Absolutely delicious. One of my current favorite places to eat.
Thank you Katherine, we are so thrilled to be one of your go to spots!! We look forward to your next visit!!
Heard rave reviews and after some mediocre fancy meals we wanted a good meal, H and F was excellent, we had the fried chicken skins (the buffalo sauce made them a little soft so next time I’ll order it on the side), the burgers were delicious and the onion rings were thin and fried super crispy, best I’ve had in a long time...The service wasn’t the best as my drink wasn’t refilled and it took a while for someone to come check on us but it is a casual place and last but not least the vanilla milkshake was delicious
Thank you, we are so glad you enjoyed your meal and shakes! We are sorry the service was not quicker, we promise we are working hard to make sure you enjoy every aspect of your visit. We hope to see you again soon!
Went for a late lunch, everything was delicious and the staff/service was exceptional. Will definitely be adding this to my rotation.
Thank you, we are so glad you enjoyed your time with us and we look forward to seeing you again soon!!
Love the Date Night for 2 special!
Thank you Dave, we love making Sunday night a special evening! We are so happy you enjoyed your meal and we promise to continue preparing interesting and delicious specials each week! See you soon..
Great service and wonderful food. Special twists on classic menu items.
Thank you so much, we are so happy you enjoyed your time with us! We look forward to your next visit!!
Best burger and fries in Asheville, though have enjoyed other items on the menu, as well. Place was lively for lunch yesterday, which added a nice vibe. Go and enjoy.
Thank you Bill, we love what we do and we are so glad you do too!! We look forward to your next visit!
We sit on the patio, we love going H&F. They had a drink special with proceeds going to help the Orange Peel Music Hall...we thought that was really cool and every one ordered one. Good food, good people.
Thank you, we are so happy to be a part of this community and it is folks like you that make it all worthwhile! You rock!!
Our burgers were delicious! We felt Covid safe. Service was great!
Thank you Miranda, we are so happy that you loved your burgers and that your service was great! We work really hard to serve up great food with a smile, especially during these difficult times. We are so pleased you felt safe here and we look forward to your next visit!!
All I can say is yummy. Every bite is delicious. Great oysters and love those Buffalo chicken skins. We enjoyed holeman and finch in Atlanta and glad they now have an outpost in Asheville. Thanks for 2 great meals in 2 days.
Thank you Katherine - it was such a pleasure meeting you!! We are so glad you enjoyed and we were thrilled to see you again the next day. We look forward to seeing you and your husband again soon!!
Everything was truly delicious! Bone marrow, 17 hr cooked bacon and burger were exceptional.
Thank you so much!! We love making people happy and are so pleased you enjoyed your meal - we hope to see you again soon!
Food was great. Service excellent
Thank you, we are so happy you enjoyed your meal and the service! We do our best to bring smiles to all who cross our path and we hope to see you again soon!!
Great place that is much more than burgers! The food was exceptional and the menu was varied enough that we both were able to find multiple items that we loved. The in-house made condiments made the meal even more of a treat.
Thank you Brek, we are so happy you found so many items on our menu that you loved! We do think making our food and sauces in-house makes all the difference and we thank you for making note of it. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
We love H&F Burger! The food is excellent and they have the best pickles! The cheeses are great and love that you can order them individually, only complaint is that we always run out of toasted baguettes, it feels cheap and I think they should just give you more. Eclectic music, sleek vibe, good drink options. I don't feel like many, if any, other restaurants downtown are this good of a value. This place is underrated, definitely recommend.
Thank you Emily, we are thrilled to hear of your love of us - it brings us such joy!! We look forward to your next visit!
We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner last night at H&F burger. Went in with husband and 13 y/o daughter. Loved the pimento cheese appetizer....pickles were great. Husband loved the bone marrow app. Delicious veggie burger, fun desserts. Would recommend! Great service too.
Thank you, this is what we love doing and we are so pleased when our guests take the time to let us know we got it right! We look forward to seeing you again soon!!
Great food and service!
Thank you so much! We love serving up great food with a smile and hope we see you again soon!
Food was amazing! We had 2 of the cheeses which were both great. I had a turkey burger and my husband had a regular burger which were both so tasty. They even make their own ketchup! Delicious!
Thank you Emerson, we do enjoy making tasty food and we think the best way to do that is to serve local house made items! We are so glad you enjoyed everything and we look forward to your next visit!
Must try the Buffalo fried chicken skins And deviled eggs.
Thank you Jayson, we are so happy you enjoyed! We love those spicy chicken skins and deviled eggs. We think everyone should give them a try and hope to see you soon!!
Great casual place with excellent service and great food, and drinks
Thank you Tim, we are thrilled you enjoyed your time with us! We do our best to offer up great food and drinks with a pretty awesome staff and we are glad it shows! We look forward to seeing you again!!
I saw this place on Open Table and thought it would be a good place for a late lunch after the outlets. Christa was our server and she did a super job taking care of us. The food was great, and the burger is well worth the visit. Fries, onion rings and potato skins were all freshly made and perfectly cooked. The beer list is full of great local beers (we had the Valdez Coffee Stout - paired well with lunch) and they have specialty cocktails created by their staff. If you don’t want to stand in line at the usual places, definitely come here! We certainly will!
Thanks so much Shep, we thoroughly love making people happy and we are so grateful when our guests take the time to write such lovely reviews! We think Christa is pretty awesome and we must admit we love mixing up some great drinks with great food. We look forward to serving you again soon!
Service was outstanding! Food was good.
Hello, we are so pleased you found the service outstanding and that you enjoyed the food! We hope to see you again soon!!
Drinks were not made well.
Hello Kevin, I am so sorry you did not enjoy your drinks! I do hope the rest of your meal was to your liking and we hope to see you again in the future!
Great cheeseburger!!!
Thank you Almira, we love our cheeseburger and are so glad you loved it too! We look forward to seeing you again soon!
What a phenomenal burger! A must visit!
Thank you, we are so happy you enjoyed your burger!! We love serving up great food and we look forward to your next visit!
Great food and decor. Super friendly bartender
Thank you so much! We are so glad you enjoyed your time with us and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
Everyone we encountered was helpful, professional, and friendly. We enjoyed everything: the food & the casual, upbeat vibe. Sure the hamburger was classically delicious but the turkey burger was also delightful. Ordering both the French fries and onion rings is a guilty pleasure you won’t regret as both are perfectly prepared- hot and crispy on the outside but tender and tasty on the inside! I recommend drinking one of their great cold beers with the hot food but then choosing among their boozy shakes to top off the meal. This is not the place to save calories but to savor them. And definitely check out their Sunday Date Night opportunity!
Thank you for your kinds words Marla, we so appreciate you taking the time to write such a lovely review! We love serving up great food in a fun atmosphere and we are so pleased it shows. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
I had the Wagyu filet and my boyfriend had a burger with a fried egg and bacon added. Everything was amazing! Strong drinks, juicy meat, perfectly cooked fries. We’ll definitely be back when we’re in town again.
Thank you, we aim to please and we think you're pretty amazing too! We look forward to your next visit!!
Great food with awesome flavors/combinations! Loved the music and the vibe of the whole place! Service was great too- super nice and helpful!
Thank you Lydia, we are so pleased you enjoyed your time with us! We loved having you here and look forward to seeing you again soon!
H&F Burger was good, but they should change their name since there is only one type of burger on the menu. The rest is chicken and oysters. They also offer a trio of deviled eggs appetizer that was delicious, composed of 3 types of deviled eggs. The craft cocktails are amazing and it was nice to see a domestic beer on the menu amidst the local fare. COVID practices made you feel safe and healthy. Nice job.
Thank you for joining us! We appreciate your input on our name and want to share a little history on how we got it. Linton Hopkins’ famous “H&F burger” began at Holeman and Finch Public House as a special. From this cheeseburger, H&F Burger was born. While we love the burger, we also love oysters, bone marrow, pimento cheese and so many other items. The deviled eggs are one of my personal favorites! We are very dedicated to the safety of our guests and community. I hope to see you again soon!
