Asheville Welcomes Its First Food Hall S&W Market | Eater Carolinas
"I learned that Farm Dogs, from Farm Burger co-founder George Frangos, will offer hot dogs and sausages made from locally raised, grass-fed Hickory Nut Gap Farm meat along with soft pretzels served with beer cheese, mustards and other dips sourced from Asheville’s Blunt Pretzels." - Gina Smith
The Carolina dog is the best hotdog in the world. A dance between the devil with the chilli and onions and the angle of the sweet coleslaw just hits different. And the dog has a snap to it i have never enjoyed before. Jade is a sweetheart and makes them dogs quick and delicious. Must visit.

Ordered Carolina dog and Walur dog and they tasted great. Most of the booths in the market were closed, even if the S&W market per Google map says market closes at 8pm (Farn Dog hour was also until 8pm). Maybe because it was a Tuesday.

Best hot dogs I have had! Just wished I had a bigger stomach for a second one. Bonus point for the sausage dog! 🐶

Pretzel was excellent. Very flavorful, hot and fresh. Unfortunately the hotdog did not have any flavor. It’s all about what they put on top of it. Felt good eating a hotdog that was all good ingredients but Would not recommend for the hotdog.

Fantastic atmosphere in an awesome location. Very good hot dogs and pretzels!
HOWEVER, it's extremely expensive for a food that's typically known for being easy to make and affordable. It's $7.25 for a single, naked hot dog. I would love to come here more often if I could afford it, but I seriously can't. It's a shame because this place is genuinely really good.

For $35 we got two hot dogs, a pretzel, and two cans of coke. It was the worst $35 I’ve spent. The hot dog does have a nice crunch but it is entirely too thin. The beer cheese tastes like it’s mixed with potato soup, the chili was awful, and the pretzel is so plastic-y I couldn’t take more than one bite.

We had the Farm Brat, the Farm Dog, and soft pretzel knots. The sauerkraut on the brat was zingy and delicious. The hot dog in the farm dog had an excellent flavor on its own but was elevated with the savory chili plus the pop of pizazz from the green tomato chow chow. All the different flavors worked together to make a wonderful symphony of flavors for a hot dog! The spicy mustard for the pretzel had what appeared to be horseradish in it which was excellent. Just be aware before you take a tremendous bite of the mustard...it hits hard similar to the effervescent punch from Wassabi.
We took our food upstairs and enjoyed beer alongside our food.

Hot dogs tasted delicious
But......
My hot dog was warm at best
My wifes was cold
She returned and the man working was argumentative with my wife about the temperature. We both felt his burner was not turned on hot enough and figured her dog was on top, hence why it was cold
The gentleman working there could smile more or show he enjoys his work

As far as hot dogs go, this is one of the best I've ever had. The hot dog was about 3/4 of an inch thick and it was very juicy. It also had a nice texture to it. The guy who was working there really cared about his product too as he placed the toppings on ever so carefully. It was beautiful. He was also very nice and accommodating. I will definitely go back any day of the week.

Fast, cheap, and tasty! It's hard to beat a good hot dog; in my opinion. You can tell that the meat they use is high quality. I had mine with all of the free toppings. This is located inside the S&W Cafeteria building. Despite some confusing conflicting reports on Google, their website, Yelp, etc, they were indeed open on Tuesday. Head on over!

Farm Dogs is one of the kiosks in the S&W Market- a beautiful food hall in downtown Asheville. I had the Farm Dog-hot dog on a soft bun with beef cheek chili, slaw, & chopped onions. The bun was so soft when I took 1st bite it broke right into so I had to eat my hot dog with a fork. The combination together of the local grass fed hot dog & toppings was delicious but so smothered in toppings I couldn't differentiate the meat from a pack of Nathan's! My husband built his own with chili & mustard. We also shared the pretzel knots. It was too early for the beer cheese to be ready. Beware that Lusty Monk mustard really has a bite to it! The server was fast & efficient & did a good job early on a Saturday AM.

Ordered the Farm Dog, which was a Carolina-style dog, and it had beef cheek chili, chopped onions, and housemade cole slaw. I enjoyed the hot dog at the base of it all, and the onions went well with the coke slaw. The beef cheek chili was also delicious. Service was fast, and the ambiance was cafeteria style with multiple establishments.

Farm Burger but ALL THINGS HOT DOGS.
I love a hot dog so I was excited when Farm Dogs opened in the new food hall in Asheville. Their menu is small but mighty and includes a few classic hot dogs and sausages but the key is to get their daily special.
These range from hot dog grilled cheeses to the most recent one we got which had various veggies and an aioli on it. The hot dogs are perfectly grilled and all natural and the buns are balanced (nothing worse when there is way too much bread).
Stop here when you're downtown even if it's just for a quick snack!

We wanted to check out the new food hall on our most recent trip to Asheville and thought this food stall looked good once we were there.
We got the Farm Sausage and a Peach Lemonade which came with free refills. The sausage was great. I loved the beer cheese that came on top. The lemonade was refreshing.
If you're at S&W Market, give this place a try!

The dogs were good, aside from being $10 for a 4in hotdog that hardly could hardly satisfy as an appetizer.

Like Farm Burger? Try Farm Dog!
This is a new hotdog 'stand' located in the S&W Market on Patton Avenue brought to you by the founders of Farm Burger.
I've always said we need quick bites around Asheville and this fills that void perfectly.
Quick, easy and still keeping to the high standards of Asheville food, these dogs and brats are ethically sourced from Asheville based companies.
The price seemed a little high~ it's probably the most I've ever spent on a hotdog. For two dogs without drinks it came to a little under $15. They should also consider offering the option of a bag of chips and/or a cookie to go with the hotdog.
It was a good meal and fun to sit upstairs and people watch while we ate. Highland Brewing has beer on tap which was perfect for washing down the hotdogs.
There are other vendors there as well that serve tacos, Thai street food, chicken and ice cream.
Go check it out~ there's something for everyone in your group!

Food is fine. Service seems to follow the motto: the customer is always wrong.:) Rude.

I ordered the Market Dog, which comes topped with tomatoes, pork belly, and chimichurri. As a side, I got the pretzel knots with beer cheese. Overall, everything was quite good. The pork belly was a little bland and the beer cheese could have been richer, but I left satisfied.
