Reviews for Griff's Kitchen & Bar in Candler, NC

Excellent food, full of flavor and absolutely delicious! Kudos to the chef. I?ll probably stick to delivery since I had such an... awkward pickup when I got my food this evening. I got the impression they probably weren?t used to having black patrons, lol.Yeah, it was super awkward walking into that. The atmosphere wasn?t bad, neither inviting nor hostile, just meh. Having workedin the restaurant industry I understand the staff were probably just ready to wrap up. However, we are all human beings andthere is always room for improvement. I mean let?s all treat each other with respect and kindness. :) Read more

We came back for the second time last night after having a great experience the first. We were looking forward to our meals as... we enjoyed it so much last time. However, we waited over an hour for our food and when it was finally placed in front of us wewere disappointed. For the price($9-$12 +$7 extra for chicken), the salads were very small and had maybe 5 nuggets of chicken onthem. Overall, when you are looking forward to a meal, pay a lot for it, and wait over an hour you expect to be satisfied withwhat is placed in front of you. All of us were finished eating in under 10 minutes. Everything together made for a badexperience. Read more

I found this gem during a drive to the outer banks. I stopped and had a delicious kale salad. The dressing and marinated black... raspberries with goat cheese were perfectly dressed and totally yummy. I also ordered a peach cheesecake to go. The cheesecakewas delicious with no bleeding of the peaches to ruin the texture. I was also impressed that whoever put the cheesecake in thetogo box did so perfectly..the nicely piped whipped cream wasn't even smudged. A sign that someone cared unreasonably which isthe benchmark of a good restaurant. As good as the food was, the service was even better. My server had a number of tables andshe made everyone feel like the only ones in the restaurant. When I ordered the cheesecake to go she suggested that I get a cupof coffee as well. Perfect suggestion since I was driving and she made fresh coffee for me. Best service I have had for quite awhile. Read more

This is a great restaurant that seems to be a favorite of locals. The pork shoulder and gnocchi are a must-have if you come... here! The pork shoulder is so moist yet has a beautiful smokey char to it (it's incredible). Get the peach cheesecake if theyhave it on the menu The staff was so incredibly friendly and was able to accommodate a large group for us (8 people) with ease! Read more

This restaurant is a must try. It is well worth the short drive from downtown Asheville. We tried a few different items from the... menu and everything was spectacular. Don't forget about the cocktails! We will be back. Read more

The food was absolutely wonderful! My bf and I came here on our first date last year and loved it! Almost exactly a year later... we came back for Valentine?s Day and it was so good once again! The chicken confit was so moist and fell off the bone and thebulgogi burger with kimchi and an egg was super delicious as well. Definitely recommend this place! Thank you guys. Read more

Holy smokes this place is amazing. The drink menu is so incredibly diverse, well crafted, and updated often. The food menu is... even more diverse with an amazing combination of flavors and textures on every single plate! If you have ever been to Bull andBeggar or The Chestnut and were a fan, PLEASE go to Griff?s because it is right on the same plane as Beggar and Chestnut. Yes,it is absolutely worth the drive from downtown! Read more

I'm giving this place a 5 star because it's a small business, the staff was super nice, bartender was our server, and the food... was delicious and different. However due to staff shortages the wait was a long time, and the serving sizes were super small,especially the kids pasta. They was no way out kids would get full off the pasta. So we let them eat some of our fries andappetizer. Read more
