Nine Mile

food was so good. literally my whole family lover each their dishes. I got cool runnings with chicken and cavatappi subbed in for rice. The queso sauce was so flavorful and hearty with all the veggies in it too. black beans on the side paired well too. my fam got irie ites with tofu and rice, the meshach with chicken, and the kingston with tofu and rice. i also ordered a fresh kombucha on tap that was blueberry lavendar i think and it was good and not sour and didn’t have a bunch of sugar added. The root beer on tap i sampled and it was good i just didn’t order it to avoid sugar, and because i just love kombucha instead in general. our appetizer salad was fresh and the bread was yummy too. the vibes inside the restaurant were also so cozy and comfy. It was really busy when we went but we still got sat down within 35-40 min just like we were told.

So glad we decided to come to this restaurant. Came in from out of town and saw this on a random search and could not have chosen better. We got here about 5:30 and there was a 45 min wait for a party of 4, but we were seated immediately at the bar. We order the 3 dip appetizer with salsa, hummus, and queso which was phenomenal. We also ordered beers from them, which we didn’t know were also brewed in house. Entrees we all ordered something different and could not have gotten anything better! We went with the cool runnings, more fyah, island in the sea, and one foundation. Emily was out server and could not have been better. Recommended a few other spots for us to check out on our weekend stay and recommended great dishes for us to try. Adding to our must go list for any time we visit!

Delicious dressings & hot sauces! Highly recommend getting an order of Natty bread if you like garlic! Bowls of food are huge. Could've definitely shared one. Any sauces you like you can buy bottles of. Was told if you bring the bottle back for a refill you save $1

came here for the first time for our anniversary dinner and loved everything start to finish. I don’t remember our servers name but he had a cool necklace on and took great care of us. My husband and I loved the fresh salads before our bowls came out and the natty bread (so much so he ordered more). The seafood was delicious and curry sauce had so much flavor. The best part was the portion size. This place was truly one of a kind (theres nothing like it back in Charleston). We would love to come back and try more of the menu as it was so difficult to pick entrees because everything sounded phenomenal. Keep doing what you do Nine Mile and thank you so much!!! <3

The service was great, hands down. It's Asheville, and stuff is $5-$7 more than it should be, but it is what it is. The food, however, was the star of the show, and it was better than I expected for what it is, where the restaurant is, and the type of cuisine. The bread was good but was missing that cheesy, garlicky taste you would expect, but you'll still want more. The pasta in a bowl instead of a plate was key for flavor, and the protein was great, but it needed more of that Caribbean flavor and spice. A solid, and I do mean solid, 8/10.

CONTEXT • First timers on vacation. Dinner with wife, who has gluten and dairy sensitivities. PROS • Despite arriving to a packed house, we only had to wait 9 minutes as walk-ins. • Allergy-friendly options aplenty per a well-notated, easily understandable menu. • Complimentary natty bread (like moderately thin garlic bread sliced horizontally) and salad with entrees. The salad dressings were so good that my wife literally drank them before hesitantly surrendering them to the waitress. After the meal, we researched the ingredients in hopes of mimicking the dressings at home (as we live hours away). • For entrees, we ordered the Soul Rebel & Kingston 12. Portions were generous but not overwhelming. The proteins that came with each entree were ideal in terms of quality and quantity. Vegetables were super fresh, cooked just right. Soul Rebel especially was a flavor bomb, boldly spiced with notes of chutney that added sweetness to every third or fourth bite. • For dessert, we splurged on a seasonal dulce de leche pumpkin cheesecake (taken to-go). This is especially noteworthy as my wife rarely puts her dairy sensitivities to the test. It wasn’t overly sweet and was well-spiced. We both seemed to enjoy it. • Helpful and congenial wait staff. CON • Probably too loud for a first date or any dinner that you’d expect to be heavy on conversation due to music and several patrons talking simultaneously. BOTTOM LINE • The food here makes you happy to be alive. Our money was well-spent.

Uh, you gotta eat here. Review over. Lol. I had the Soul Rebel and it was phenomenal. The textures and flavors were excellent. The mint green tea was a perfect drink for a hot day. All our meals were amazing.

Everything was great. Food was amazing, servers were fantastic. The atmosphere was good. The wait wasn't bad, it went much quicker than expected. Decent selection of beer as well. The smoked gouda quest was an excellent twist on a classic.

I asked an Asheville local where I should have dinner and without skipping a beat she said "Nine Mile." She said there may be a wait but it would be worth it. She was right. Thankfully as a single diner and with some divine timing I was sat at the open kitchen bar seating as I finished getting a drink from the "get a bevy" bat. Excellent customer service, chill vibe, welcoming staff, and Amazon flavors. My only wish is that I had a someone to dine with so I could have shared an app before my meal. The Kingston 12 was delicious; just enough space for me, and I had to convince myself to take some to go so that o wouldn't be stuffed. If you aren't into shrimp you can sub the protein with chicken or tofu. Bonus, they have Ginger's Revenge Line & Agave on tap and pairs with the food in the best way possible.

If you want Rasta Pasta then this is the place to come to. The food options are extensive but not so much where you feel overwhelmed at all. This place should satisfy your Caribbean craving. Food is fresh, healthy and flavorful. Service was very nice, no one was pushy or rude and very helpful. The ambiance is has an island vibe with some cool music playing. This place is irie and we would definitely come back!

Looking for a spot that is open seven days a week, with an incredible staff and has a wide-variety of vegan-friendly and diet sensitive options, GO TO NINE MILE MONTFORD (well also all of them ). Love talking to them over the phone to order takeout, but would love to see them do online orders and/or partner with delivery in the future, but they are always so busy! Make sure to put in your order right between 4-5pm. Helps them, helps you! For vegans, my favorite is the Nine Mile, prepared vegan (you can ask about different/less cooking oils), with BOMB TOFU (currently an area of drama regarding the cuts, but in every form it's delicious), made hot/spicy, and go linguine!!!

This place deserves 6 stars. The service was amazing, Emily, the manager and our server, was attentive and very courteous. The ambiance was very chill and relaxing, the Reggae music added to the experience. The food was beyond delicious. I had the Nolan and my wife had the Kingston 12, both dishes were unique and wonderful in their own way We are looking forward to the leftovers for lunch tomorrow. At the bar we met Bastien, heck of a nice guy, and enjoyed chatting with him for a while. All in all the food, the mood and the atmosphere was far better than we expected. This has become our new go to place in Asheville.

Thoroughly enjoyed this Caribbean Italian fused restaurant. When I heard about it I thought that was preposterous, until I tried it. The flavors were great and it just worked. You'll love their jerk chicken and their fried plantains. They perfectly cook their rice and their menu is just so fun. The food here is not boring at all. It will be a regular place for us.

By far my favorite restaurant in Asheville. The wait is definitely worth it! Both indoor and outdoor seating are offered. The food is always incredible, service was lovely, and environment is bustling and joyful. We ordered the Lioness appraiser, the Nolan and the nine mile entrees, topped off with local beer. The mango dressing on the salad is killer. Can't wait to come back!

I now know why it's named "Nine Mile"...they tie a chicken to a truck and drag it nine miles!...Ate here Feb 13th, 2025...my chicken was soooo...tough. the zucchini was cold and raw....the whole bowl was cold. Wifes was warm and edible, but her chicken was tough too....to their credit they did comp one dish...but it was a disappointment.

Was visiting, and my friend took me to her favorite spot! Robust portions and plentiful vegan options - 1 serving was enough for leftovers. I spent way too long looking at the menu because everything looks really similar... I wonder if the menu was re-organized as a choose-your-own base+veg+sauce+protein if it would be easier to read.

It's the 4th of July and hubby and I decided to drive to Asheville for a quick overnight trip. We went to a popular roof restaurant that had an incredible view of the su.n setting mountains...it was BEAUTIFUL!! But for someone who struggles to find food to eat because of all of my allergies..they didn't have much to offer. So we left and the valet told us about this place up the street that sells Caribbean food...so here we are! So far the staff were very friendly and helpful...our server worked with me to find something accommodating for me to eat. When I placed my order she came back and told me that something I ordered had citrus in it and helped me find something else on the menu. So my husband ordered Cool Runnings that had Jerk Chicken, Rice and chutney/sauce with a side salad. Unfortunately, because of my allergies and food restrictions (gluten, citrus, peaches, etc) I ordered a la carte and ended up with Jerk Chicken (I don't eat a lot of chicken), steamed broccoli/cauliflower and rice. The chicken was flavorful but I really wish I could have tasted something more Caribbean (besides the chicken) since I've never eaten Caribbean food before. Of course that wasn't their fault. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his food while I took a few bites of mine.

We came in within a half hour of closing, but weren't treated like it. ;) The food was delicious and the portions are huge. The orange balsamic dressing with my salad was amazing!

Food and service is always amazing. I can't get enough of the cool running's or the Groundation salad!

Everything from the servers to the food was incredible. Jesse was amazing and she make us feel welcomed and always acknowledge our son. Don't make me get started with the food.... Honestly, it one of the best meals we've ever had. We're from south Florida so we know thing or 2 about Caribbean food !

This is a cute place with vibey ambiance (if you know you know). I was a little surprised that SPORTS was on the television but whatever I survived. Aside from that, very vibey. Came on a Saturday night and there was a wait so I sat at the bar. I love that there is a vegan option for almost any dish and that's what drew me in. I ordered the signature Nine Mile dish and it was really good! The bartender was nice and kind, and I would definitely come again for the food. Parking is very limited, if you're not familiar with west Asheville give yourself extra time to park.

Good food and great service! We've wanted to have a meal here since first seeing the original location up the street from our Airbnb late summer of 2022. Their hours and popularity stopped us from being able to fit it in our schedule during that trip. But the following year on our next visit, we made it a priority to stop here for our first meal in town. In the meantime, they had opened another location or two. Cool! We arrived just as we got in to town and right as they were opening, so we were seated right away. The staff were all so friendly and welcoming, and ready with recommendations when asked. While we waited for our friends who were joining us to arrive, we got a round of drinks (lots of local beers on the menu) and an order of The Lioness appetizer (smoked gouda chipotle queso and chips). It was delicious! The meals all have some funny and interesting names, but it was hard to decide on one thing to get. Many MANY things are, or are easily made, vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free. I ended up ordering the Island in the Sea, which if I recall they were able to make (it was suggested) with a mixture of the alfredo and marinara sauces. It was tasty, and a huge serving! I had plenty to take home for a later-in-the-week re-heat. We had a great and delicious visit here and I would gladly return on a future trip to Asheville!

Finally got around to trying another local favorite: Nine Mile's original Montford location. The vibe is casual, like a real neighborhood restaurant you feel comfortable in. I was surprised that they had several draft beer selections that they brew themselves. We had their stout (very good, not too earthy and no bite) and a blond ale (nice and refreshing, with a citrusy background). We ordered the Nine Mile with jerk chicken and the tilapia-based Raggy Road. Both came with a small starter salad. The salad was very fresh but what made it really special was the jalapeno cilantro lime dressing. One of THE BEST salad dressings I've ever had. It comes with what they call natty bread, which seems like it's basically just parmesan cheese bread (but it was good in any case). The tilapia portion was large and nicely blackened with the Cajun spice rub. Tilapia is pretty much a blank slate, but they filled it out nicely with both the seasoning and the coconut chipotle sauce (excellent!). It worked well as a cream sauce over the cavatappi pasta (essentially macaroni). I've had jerk chicken many times and it can be dry. Here is was well-seasoned and very tender, and complemented by the amazing sauce of fresh fire roasted tomatoes, ginger and jalapeno peppers. You can specify spice level. I got mine medium, but the server offered a hotter sauce that they use for the next level up on the side, in case I wanted to take it up a notch. It had a little background burn as it was, but I did add a drizzle of the hot sauce. That was all it took! Their hot sauce comes on strong and very hot a minute or two after it hits your taste buds, so unless you like really hot stuff, you may want to go easy on it. I had the Nine Mile over basmati rice versus the linguine option (the rice seemed more traditional Jamaican). Both dishes had yellow squash, zucchini and onions in the sauce, and these were a wonderful addition for both flavor and heft. Our server was fantastic and provided some excellent insights and guidance re the menu. I've not had a lot of Jamaican food, but here it seemed to have some elements of fusion cuisine. The creamy macaroni had elements of Southern cuisine and some of the menu items, if you order them with pasta, could pass for "turned up" Italian cuisine. Keep that in mind if a member of your party thinks they wouldn't like Jamaican food. Given the extensive menu, there are lots of options here (so we'll definitely be back to try some more!). A final note: several people we know who have been here previously said their prices have gone up more than the 20% of so inflation over the past 2-3 years. The prices still seem reasonable IMO given the quality, number of ingredients and portion size. And remember: great staff deserve livable wages, plus nice tips. My one nit is that as of the date I'm writing this review, the prices shown on their current website are lower than the actual prices shown on the restaurant menu/as billed. I'm assuming the website just hasn't been updated -- an error, but one that should be fixed!

I truly was surprised and delighted at the same time that they offer other options that are healthier than pasta! My entree was absolutely great! I have eaten here twice and both times I have thoroughly enjoyed it! I ordered the mahi mahi curry pasta and scallop entree! Both were delicious!

Unbelievable every single time! My only wish is that they had cocktails, but that's barely even a complaint because the menu, service, and beers are so unique and incredible. Our server, Justin, was so great that we actually thought he must have owned the place. Even though it's always packed inside (because of how delish it is), the hostess is always patient and works with you so you can get seated and is transparent about the wait. Absolutely a must try if you are in Asheville! Highly recommend the Lioness appetizer (queso) and the Soul Rebel (entree).

It was recommended to us by our Host at Carolina Bed and Breakfast to try Nine Mile. We were so happy we gave it a try. The food was delicious and generous portions. I'm a no spice gal and it was tasty and flavorful. My husband likes spice and his was spicy and tasty. Our server, Thomas, was awesome. He gave us suggestions without being pushy, and was very helpful. The vibe was fun without being too loud. This will be our first stop if we return to Asheville. We highly recommend giving this place a try.

My father who is very into beer chose this place when we were visiting Asheville. Being a good sport I went along not expecting much and WOW!!!! I was actually blown away by the food. I checked the reviews and got the cool running's and it was soooo good. Also if you love Bananas get the BBC!

I had a great experience visiting on a Saturday late in the evening. We were a group of two and there was a wait, we ordered an appetizer and drinks. It took a while for someone to come take orders at the side bar. We were seated at the bar shortly after ordering drinks. The server made great and honest recommendations. We loved both of our meals and splurges on the cheesecake for dessert. The meals were very flavorful but not spicy. Large portions were served. My meal had jumbo shrimp that were perfectly cooked. I will be back next time I visit Asheville.

Nine Mile is one of, if not the best, restaurants in Asheville. This is obviously quite high praise for a city with such a rich restaurant scene, but Nine Mile absolutely delivers. It has a casual vibe to it, but food that is taken quite seriously. The biggest problem with their Caribbean infused menu is choice, much like what troubled Neo in the Matrix. Finding a dish that doesn't sound delicious is impossible, and each one I've sampled has been extraordinary. Pictured is the Negril Nights, a delicious tuna entree with a light but creamy coconut jerk sauce. The namesake Nine Mile is one of the best jerk chicken dishes I've had. Service is quick and matches the casual vibe, the wait staff is happy to chat. I make it a point to come as often as possible

I love 9 Mile. You can get a different Caribbean inspired dish every time you go based on the enormous menu. I highly recommend the Kingston 12 or anything with jerk chicken. Some dishes come with rice & some with fettuccine. They have every protein or meat substitute under the sun! The entrees come with garlic bread and a side salad with yummy home made dressing. Both the cilantro jalapeño & mango are hits. We usually sit at the bar & they have a nice draft list as well. They do not take reservations. Bartenders are very attentive & service is efficient. NOTE: some dishes are very spicy which suits me but not my husband!

Really glad we found this place while in town visiting. The service was excellent and the food was fantastic!!! Many gluten free options and the flavors were really popping! The natty bread was very buttery and seasoned up just right. I got the queso on the side with the mylitis and loved dipping the bread in that. The place is super casual and comfortable, a real neighborhood gem.

Everyone working there was very kind. I thoroughly enjoyed the two- course meal style. The food was very good. The wait went by quick because the environment was enjoyable. I do wish there was a cheaper appetizer option to snack on while waiting. The kombucha was very good as well. Definitely going back!

My husband and I were visiting from Iowa, and my father-in-law took us there. We loved the food, service, and the ambiance of the place! They have lots of vegetarian options as well as options for a carnivore. I had a dish with vegetables, pineapple, and jerk tofu on spinach linguine with Alfredo sauce. It was delicious! I also tried a Buschwacker, which was a drink that tasted like a chocolate milkshake, but it had four different types of alcohol in it! I'm feather weight, but I've been assured I didn't get too crazy!

Called to see if we could be seated at 8:30 pm and came in with a bunch of folks still eating. We're so grateful they accommodated us after a long day of traveling. They're incredibly friendly and the food is SUPERB. If you're ever near Asheville/the great smoky mountains this is a must-try. The place has a unique vibe to it. The kind of place I like to eat at!

The original location and my forever favorite. Upon entering you're greeted by warm staff and a cozy environment. Love the wood and dim lighting (not too much so) as it adds to the ambiance. Take a seat adjust a backdrop of the kitchen and settle into smells of spices in the air. I like to get a local buchi to start but their beer and wine menu is great. Buchi and beer on draft. They usually have some crafted cocktails on special too. I really appreciate that many of their menu items are very customizable. For example if you're a vegetarian you can get a lot with tofu or if you're a pescatarian you can get a lot with fish. They also have plenty of specials that vary and tons of menu items that are chicken. If you're super health conscious, you can get noodles made of zucchini. they even often give you the option of rice or homemade pasta. I find the entrées perfect for one very very hungry person or two people to split. With a small splitting charge of about three dollars you can get an extra salad each. And bread. That bread is divine. You want your own. And as for salad dressings go, they're all delicious but his majesty is my favorite. It's tahini flavor. Many friends love the mango though While I generally prefer pasta over rice, many of the entrées have pasta as an option and I've enjoyed them. I can't really tell you a favorite because I've never really gone wrong. I will warn you that the mild is still spicy for me. Anything with a flame is definitely going to have some fire. These days I have pasta and share it. But when I would go on my own I would get the salad. The Empress salad with tempeh is really really good.

This is just an amazing restaurant. No wonder they are always busy. Came here in April and I don't remember what I got but my wife said I loved it and she's probably right because this recent visit was incredible. First, we sat at the bar, and had fantastic service. Helpful recommendations, friendly, and fun. I got the mesach (sp?) with gluten free pasta and blackened tofu. I wish I knew how to get tofu to retain this much flavor but I have never had such flavorful and delicious tofu. The cream sauce was an awesome Alfredo-like sauce and was perfect with the gluten free pasta. My wife got their name sake dish-nine mile. It was very good and you won't regret getting it but mine was definitely better. We also split a bowl of their vegan chili. That, too, was fantastic but truth be told, our homemade is better. Loved this meal. Nine mile has to be a staple for all of your visits to Asheville.

Of the several locations for this local chain, I picked this one because it was close to my music venue destination. It was pretty busy, and while I got a table people behind me had to wait, and my food took a while. During the wait, however, I received a small salad and what I would call a garlic baguette (but which they call "natty bread"). This is a special diet kind of place, and they made a point of telling me that the garlic oil on the bread was not butter and therefore it is vegan. My pasta, which I wanted spicy, had a bit of heat but certainly didn't blow me away. Perhaps sensing this, my server brought an additional habanero hot sauce which was considerably more powerful. The option for breaded tofu on top was delicious, while the pasta and sauce themselves didn't blow me away; a little soggy and messy and not spicy enough. My iced green tea wasn't that strong in flavor, but being thirsty I drank a lot of it. An interesting restaurant, and while I didn't think my dish was perfect, I would be more than happy to try something else.

The food was absolutely amazing. It's a cozy and comfortable neighborhood place where they make you feel welcome.

Amazing Caribbean food! Very lively and casual ambiance. The service was good and everything was delicious. Generous portions.

This totally unique Carribean restaurant always delivers on quality & flavor! We had the house salad which was excellent as was the natty bread. Entree was delicious rare tuna with incredible sauce, rice & plantains. One of our favorite restaurants.

What could improve? Food was amazing, keep that up. However, melamine plates are not cool. Melamine is known to be adverse to human health. Probably leaches more if we consider its dish wash cycles...very shocked this exists in Asheville. Guess corporate strategies extend farther than I expected.

This was recommended by friends, Yelpers and friends. I don't get it. And service was pretty marginal. Our waitress (short, long brunette hair) made us feel annoying. But the food was so uninspired. I got the Ire Ites. Ick. Kinda salty. Tofu pieces were way too big, but more refinement and it could be pretty good. Hubby had salmon. Curry was tasty but couldn't rationalize the chutney on the plate. I loved watching the orchestra of food prep while sitting at the bar - highly recommend that.

Delicious food! Tons of shrimp in my dish and the scallops were done perfectly. Overall a great dinner but I would recommend going when it is cooler - the ac is not able to keep up with all the people and the heat so it was quite toasty in there!

Absolutely incredible food!!! This was our first stop while visiting Asheville and we were blown away! The atmosphere was so fun and the staff were incredibly friendly!! Still dreaming about the food!

We had a good experience at 9 Mile in Asheville. We arrived before 6pm on a weeknight and there was already a wait to be seated inside so this place is popular spot with the locals. (and apparently with us non-locals too.) They can make just about anything on the menu with tofu so that's a plus for vegetarians. I had the "Nine Mile" nade with tofu mild and thought it was a tasty dish, not too spicy (They ask you to specify the heat.) The Natty Bread it came with...so the term "Natty bread" sounds like it was going to be something cool or more unique than it was. It's basically garlic bread with some different spices than you would typically have if getting it at an Italian restaurant. It was fine, but not particularly the exotic unique Caribbean bread fantasy I was hoping for. The salad my dish was served with was really fresh and enjoyable. The greens were fresh and the vegetables were crispy. I really liked the "His Majesty's" (Sesame Garlic Tahini) dressing it came with. My wife liked it too though she had asked for the salad to be lightly dressed and it came pretty saturated. She finished the whole thing nonetheless. She also enjoyed her "Kingston 12", a tasty dish with shrimp. It's nice to have a place with so many vegetarian possibilities. We'd definitely come back.

Love the vibe in this place, the brew was excellent, and the food was unique and delicious. I will be back to enjoy some other dishes.

The place was very full and loud. We were screaming at each other to talk. It's a very small location. The place looks rundown and old. They are trying to install a Beer distillery inside this small location. The food was good and the service.

This place was recommended to us by a local, and I'd say it was the most healthy and flavorful meal we enjoyed during our visit to Asheville. Two of us took half our meals back to our AirBnB, and they heated up nicely. Cozy ambiance and friendly service!

Haven't been here in a few years, and brought my daughters this time. I got the reggae militis for an appetizer, and cool runnings. My youngest got the Jamaican me thirsty and my oldest got noodles with marina (glad we found that on the menu, she's a little picky, lol). The jerk chicken was a little sweet in the Jamaican me thirsty, which wasn't bad, just different for jerk. She did get the mildest spice level. Mine was still just as good as I remembered.

For those of you who have been here before you already know. I did a pick up order from the location in Biltmore Village. I ordered the Live and Give (I didn't get the hummus) but the queso and salsa was amazing! We also ordered the Cool Runnings and the Soul Rebel. We got there about 30 mins before they closed and picked up our food. The staff was attentive and friendly and let us know how much longer it would take for our food. It's a cute little spot in Biltmore village and they have bar seating and outdoor seating. The flavors of the food were amazing! It was hot, fresh and amazing. I have no doubt they will receive 5 stars my next visit.

Good service. Ambience fine. Food ok. Had the Raggae nachos with smoked Gouda and mango salsa. Tasted good. Ordered the Nine Mile (grilled jerk chicken pasta) - this is a miss on the jerk seasoning and flavors altogether.

You MUST try this place! Make a reservation because it will be busy on weekends. It's eclectic and trendy inside, each location has a different flair but they are all upscale. The mixes drinks are top notch and pair well with the main course offerings. We were a group of 3 and sat at the bar, we shared 3 meals between us because we had a hard time choosing. I'm glad we did this because every dish was superb and very different. If you like flavor, spices, rich aromatic food this is a MUST try. We went to 2 locations and found the food the same..what we loved at one place was the same at the other. Delicious!

The incredible food places in Asheville just keep expanding. Nine Mile is a Caribbean-themed Restaurant found in a quiet unassuming neighborhood. Inside it's a foodie paradise. The menu is loaded with dishes that all grab your attention. Each sounds so unique & delicious. The result is it's hard to make a decision. I chose the "Meshach". It's a uniquely seasoned chicken breast on a pile of pasta & veggies, cooked in a white wine & cream sauce. It tasted as wonderful as it looked. It was accompanied with a salad adorned with orange balsamic dressing. On the side came hot garlic bread. As I took it all in I was in nirvana.

Delicious food and friendly staff! Our waitress was very attentive and topped off our waters anytime they were at all low. The food came fast and was absolutely PHENOMENAL. We showed up on a Saturday evening and the restaurant was pretty packed. We came with two adults and one toddler, we would've had to wait but the host let us sit at a two top with the baby sitting in a lap. The vibes are good, however, it is very very loud. Definitely not a place for chilling and relaxing. More of a drop in, get good food, and head out kind of place. Parking is questionable, we had to walk half a block and use street parking as there is no lot. But given that it was pretty busy and we still managed to find a spot, it probably doesn't get any worse. It's situated right in the middle of a historic residential neighborhood. Overall it's definitely a solid choice for good home cooked food, especially if you have food restrictions or limitations. They have lots and lots of vegan, gf, and vegetarian options; all marked on the menu.

Nine Mile is SO GOOD! Food: Caribbean menu with plenty of rice and pasta dishes. Most entrees come with either chicken, fish, or tofu. I ordered the Mesach, which came with noodles, a cream-based sauce, roasted veggies, and one of the best pieces of chicken I've had! You can pick your spice level, I picked hot. Each entree comes with a side salad and delicious, buttery bread. I can't wait to come back here and try something new! Service: Quick and friendly. The restaurant doesn't take reservations, and it does get busy on the weekends. I'd suggest putting your name in early and walking to one of the other neighborhood establishments for a drink while you wait!

I am a foodie, vegan, and have high standards. I am the dreaded trifecta and hard to impress. This food slaps. The vegan meshach with tofu is unreal. Robust serving, complex flavors, beautifully creamy sauce, and truly memorable. My server offered up a side of a chipotle hot sauce which was fantastic. The included side salad with tahini dressing and garlic bread were also memorable. I understand why this place is treasured by locals. The front is unassuming and parking is street parking. If it is your first time, come early or on a weeknight to avoid some parking frustrations.

The server and bareback were sooooo friendly, laid back, down to earth, and overall friendly. the food was sooo flavorful and delicious! I loved the trout fish. tons of fish and vegetarian options. the salads were so fresh! the atmosphere is laid back, relaxing, and has a southern comfort. it's located in beautiful nature and you can take a nice walk.
