Pack's Tavern

"Had dinner here during Super Bowl Sunday. Place was maybe 70 percent full which was kind of surprising, considering they had huge TVs showing the game. Our food (pretzel beer cheese, pot roast, Rueben , ale flight and Belgian white) was overall tasty and well cooked but man, hold the salt. Everything was way too salty. Service was attentive and great."

"Went late on a Saturday night, and didn't have a super long wait. Even with our waitress being newer, she was excellent and was willing to help us pick out our meal. The pot roast is absolutely delicious, and tastes like someone's grandma had been cooking it all day! Definitely going back soon!"

"Great place to grab a quick bite to eat and the food we ordered was good. It’s like upscale bar food. The menu had great choices across the board. The brick oven pizza was wonderful and the Prohibition Pot Roast was amazing! The crème brute cheesecake was to die for! Situated downtown in a very cool building. Lots of beer and drink choices. They even have non alcoholic beer!"

"Huge space with a really warm, cozy, old-school pub atmosphere. Food was phenomenal. Fried green tomatoes were definitely worth it, perfectly fried with a really amazing savory-sweet sauce. Beef stroganoff was out of this world, perfect portion size and just loaded with flavor. Really wanted dessert afterward but was just too full! My only complaint was that the pretzels (pretzel/beer cheese appetizer) were just okay. Felt like any other pretzel I've had before, nothing special. But everything else was definitely special. Also for those who care, they actually have a sign saying when their beer tap lines were last cleaned. So that's cool too."

"When you have the confidence to serve your brisket with a spoon, you KNOW what you're serving and how you're serving it. This was our first meal upon arriving in Ashville. Pack's has the location, the atmosphere, and the food. They have an almost unfair advantage, but they are at least utilizing it to the fullest. I had the brisket mac, I spent most of my time just salivating with it in my mouth with a stupid grin on my face. My wife had a burger, she asked for medium well and she got medium well. The outdoor dining space was just as exciting as the indoor space. The host private events, they have a stone pizza oven, and the drinks were also top notch. My compliments to the chef. They also serve a house made Root Beer, weirdly enough I am a fan of custom brewed root beers and cream sodas and this one wasn't half bad, on the sweet side. The service is the only thing that could use some honing. The server staff was completely average. Hospitable enough, just nothing to brag about. We had two meals here over our 5 days, and the server forgot to put in my appetizer, they opted to let me have it with my dinner or cancel it. They made little effort to rectify the mistake, the only notable part of the experience was that I didn't find out about the mistake until roughly a minute before my actual meal arrived. Overall still a great experience and worth a visit if you are in the area."
