12 Best Rooftops and Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Asheville | Eater Carolinas

"Beloved by tourists and locals alike, this West Asheville staple is as renowned for the long lines that frequently snake around the building as it is for its garden-to-table Southern fare like shrimp and grits and fried green tomatoes. Drenched in rich citrus and blue hues, its covered, dog-friendly patio space features colorful murals from local artist Gus Cutty, twinkly lights, and containers of fresh herbs for a refreshing, laid-back vibe. Depending on the buzz you’re after, the coffee and mimosas are the best way to wash down huevos rancheros, stuffed French toast, and those perfect biscuits. Pro tip: while you wait for a table, be sure to meander through its half-acre, on-site garden, which the restaurant sources for its specials." - Brook Bolen
