    Heard great things about this place from friends, but the service ended up being the most disappointing part. There was a definite lag, and while I can usually be forgiving, especially on a busy Friday, even as the place started clearing out, the service didn’t improve. Not somewhere I’d bring family visiting anymore. We had to flag down other servers just to get extra things like drink refills. The food was decent and simple. Maybe it was an off day or maybe my expectations were set too high, but it just wasn’t for me.

    The Twister Laurel Meatball appetizer is absolutely delicious. They also make an awesome tasty salmon with a nice side of mashed potato and corn. Their version of an Old Fashion is delicious. My husband had a pizza which I tasted and had the best breading and sauce. The atmosphere is always upbeat and uplifting. Its always great prior to attending a production at the Asheville Community Theater.

    Twisted Laurel is a great place for lunch, or anytime! The Med bowl is delicious and just the right amount. Long honored as one of Asheville’s best, you won’t be disappointed. And good weather bonus, they have a great front patio with awnings to provide shade but not block the breeze.
