If you like Mexican food try Don Papas on Hendersonville Rd near Long Shoals Rd. They are California-style Mexican, and it is SO GOOD! We have been eating there since they opened, and everything is so fresh and yummy! You can also try Papas & Beer, which is owned by the brother of the owner of Don Papas. The food is very similar. They are located on Brevard Rd, in Hendersonville, and are soon opening a new location on Tunnel Rd.

Magnolias has good desserts? My husband and I loved going to Old Europe for desserts and since they've closed haven't been able to find anything.
Anyplace else for desserts?

We LOOOVVVEEE going out to dinner here are some of our favorites!

Apollo Flame ( 2 locations Biltmore Ave, and Brevard Rd) this is a yummy greek rest. and you can eat on the patio. This is perfect with our without the kiddos.

Asheville Pizza & Brewery. This is perfect if you want a cheap date night or a fun afternoon with the kiddo's, you can eat their yummy cheap pizza while watching a movie. Get there early to ensure that you get a ticket....they sell out fast!

Want Saturday am doughnuts...go to Carolina Mtn. Bakery ( on Hendersonville Rd) or take a short drive to Waynesville and treat yourself to Witman's Bakery (Main St. Waynesville) while you are in Waynesville spend the day window shopping on their unique main st.

Hope that this helps!!

I love Salsa's for something different. Modaddy's is great for southern food (you can even get fried chicken and waffles). And Growing Young Cafe has light lunch options like turkey and cheese wraps or hummus and cucumber with great options for kids and a huge indoor play area.

We have threee awesome bakeries in Hendersonville, one is McFarlands on Main Street there is no place to sit just grab and go, the other one is on 25 before you enter Hendersonville it's called Front Porch Sweetery, amazing goodies and adorable cafe, they serve sit-down breakfasts as well as heavenly desserts. If you want donuts, head towards Flat Rock and to Doughboys Donuts.
