This place always delivers consistent good southern food with a local twist. Highly recommend trying the fried pickles. Waitstaff are attentive. If you do want to come for brunch come early, just makes for a better experience. It does tend to get crowded as the day goes on.

Outstanding service!!! In the recent years, I would say that Ruth's Chris food and service has gone down..... in Charlotte!! But this one was OUTSTANDING!! Reminds me of how RUTH CHRIS used to be years ago!!! Food and service was great!! From the 2 Hostess, our waiter Levi and the manager Trisha!!! She went above and beyond to accommodate us. We drove here from Georgia and had a great time. We will be back. GOD BLESS ASHEVILLE!!
