What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"We stopped in at Daddy Mac’s Down Home Dive while passing through Asheville on our way to vacation and had been really excited to try it after planning the stop ahead of time. Unfortunately, the experience started off a bit uncomfortable. When we walked in, we were met with a group of employees laughing about us entering through the wrong door, and one interaction in particular felt a little mocking, which set an awkward tone right out of the gate. Thankfully, our server completely turned things around. He was welcoming, knowledgeable, and went out of his way to make great recommendations and take care of us. His service truly made the difference. The food itself was enjoyable, and despite the rough start, we left appreciating the meal and the effort our waiter put in. My only recommendation would be to not let the employees hang out at the tables talking about the customers while there are other customers in the store!"
"On a quick weekend trip to Ashville and we landed at the airport pretty late. We saw Daddy Mac’s was close by and it had great reviews! We went on Halloween and it was so fun! Very festive with music and costumes but was still easy to relax, talk, and have a great meal. We got so much food and really wanted to get more to try out cause the whole menu looked awesome. Prices were much less here than back home so we were pleasantly surprised to see the check considering everything we had ordered. Service was on point too! Really glad this was our first stop in Asheville! Thanks!"
"In town and this spot is just down the street from our hotel. Stopped in late after a long 10 hour drive and let me tell you their late night menu was pleasantly impressive. Our server was awesome and she recommended the right things. We tried the pimento and collard greens dip, he got the macho nachos and i got a build your own salad in a jar. The pulled pork here is AMAZING. This was the first time in a long time that i actually had to get a box for a salad and the price point is perfect and affordable, with enormous portions. We checked out their regular menu just out of curiosity and this is definitely a spot we will earmark for future visits and may even come back tomorrow. 15/10. HIGHLY recommended! And as an added bonus their hours are super compatible with those of us rogues looking for dinner past 9pm."
"We ordered the Mama Mac Board- it’s plenty of food for two people. The wings, brisket, and pulled pork were all great. It’s a cool way to sample lots of the menu. The baked beans are a little spicy for sensitive palates. We also had the pretzel with Hot Honey Mustard which is not at all spicy but very good and you can definitely taste the beer in the beer cheese. We added a side of mac & cheese, which was pretty basic. Service was friendly and attentive!"
"We were visiting Biltmore and in the area. The vibe of this place, outside and inside was awesome! There is a stage for bands, string lights, and cool artwork. The atmosphere was great. Unfortunately, the service and food were not. While our server was extremely nice, she was not very attentive. She never refilled mine or my aunt's drinks, while she did fill the other 3 people drinks. My tots were crunchy but cold. My brother's soup was ice cold. We had to ask twice for a spoon for the soup. His grilled cheese was hard. (I also find it odd that we were given salt and pepper packs at a sit down restaurant instead of shakers) However, the pretzel appetizer, my aunt's salad, and my curly fries were very hot and good. Overall, I am thinking we were there just on an "off" day because all the good reviews are the reason we choose this establishment over others. I don't know that we'll be back in the area to give it another chance."
"This place was a happy accident after our original breakfast plans was closed. They have a wide selection of coffee and teas. I got the apple pie chai..."
