A must stop! Great food! Chili, burgers, fish and onion rings are amazing! Great friendly service. A must stop if you are in Black Mountain!
One of our favorites!. The cucumber margaritas are just perfect! I always want to try something different but I can't stray from the state street chicken. It's always cooked perfectly. The fish and chips are yummy also. That's what my husband always gets.
Phenomenal Food - Great Service. Went here for Lunch last week. We had our dogs with us and they let us bring them on the expansive big back porch. Service was excellent and the food was out of the world. Food was fresh and vibrant. Highly, highly recommend it
Great, creative food in a friendly atmosphere. My husband and I ate lunch here on a weekday. They had a good crowd, but there was no wait. Our waitress was very friendly. Portions were generous and accommodating. The portobello mushroom burger was really tasty and unlike anything we'd had before. Want to try some local beers? Try a "flight" of draft brews -- four small glasses for about $6. Overall, a really nice surprise to find well-crafted food like this in a little mountain town.
Good burgers, great local beers, great staff.
Great vegetarian options. Mashed potatoes were clearly homemade. Lots of brew options. Waitress was fast and attentive. We will be back!

A big party. We had a party of 20+ after a wedding reception. The staff here was wonderful, warm and accommodating. Multiple separate checks, people wandering around - didn't matter! So hospitable. Food was great too. Beer selection was amazing and satisfied all beer lovers. Would definitely go back!
Great for Vegheads. Stopped in here on an afternoon of shopping and ordered the portobello burger, which was WONDERFUL. The service was great too, very attentive and friendly.

Hydration Station. Wandered in here one fine sunny afternoon.. OK, thats putting it too kindly; it was hot as hell on this particular day. I shouldve just asked the doll who waited on us for a pitcher, of ice water, but to her credit she magically appeared each time I emptied my glass and fixed me up. Actually, she was great throughout our entire meal, so service gets a thumb up. As for our food?
It was damn good. I had their namesake burger; the Trailhead. I told them they could keep the slimy onions, which they did. This thing was mammoth in size and not too far behind in taste. If I were to play chef for a moment I would say the only way it could be improved upon is to pack the seasoning inside that 1/2 pound of meat, rather than on top of it. But thats just knit picking, it was a fine tasting burger, made with ingredients they can be proud of. Fries were hand cut and thats the way to do it. Foxy had their Black Bottom, which is a portabella burger. She was intrigued by the toppings and once she got a bite of it she knew she had made the right choice; she loved it.
We liked Trailhead; its a big open space with lots of seating, a large bar with plenty of stuff (including some local suds) on tap, and has a large covered patio on the side. Wait staff was friendly and the food was impressive. I cant think of anything else to ask for.

Great Service!. Our party came here on Sunday for dinner having made a reservation for 8...and we ended up having 18 show up! Waitress was fast, efficient, and accommodating. Everyone enjoyed the food (especially burgers) and beer...and cider was on special for $3.
Great fries!
We are all looking forward to eating at the Trailhead again, next time catching some live music.
After dining at Trailhead last year we made sure to stop in again. Ever bit as pleased as before. One of the best burgers you can get.. anywhere! Worth the wait. Their other food we saw them serve looked amazing as well.
Great local spot! The bar area reminded me of one of my favorite rock climbing gyms back home.
I was expecting typical pub fare so I was in for a surprise! These salmon cakes (Lover's Leap) blew my mind!
I'd definitely stop by again if I'm in the area.
Pleasant downtown restaurant with an extensive and diverse menu. Full bar & variety of seating options, including patio seating. Staff were friendly, but service was fairly slow. It took me quite a while to get a refill of my Coke at lunch time. They seemed to be short staffed, as there were several open tables & my party of three had to wait to be seated. I had the daily special, which was shrimp tacos with beans. One of my party had the fish & chips dinner, which she said was buttery, light & flakey. Two single stall restrooms were clean and stocked. One of my party requested to hold the cilantro, but this did not happen. She had to pull huge sprigs out of her food. Otherwise, the food was good and reasonably priced. Free public parking is present, but limited, as it is shared between several restaurants.
Locals eat here year round! Customer service is always fantastic. Best burger and hand cut fries in WNC. Plenty of great food options as well as cold beer. Highly recommended
Precious restaurant in black mountain with lovely outdoor seating. Dog friendly as well! We ordered delicious burgers with their apple cider cocktail special and pumpkin ale. Delicious! Staff was very friendly as well. Would definitely come back!
Ordered the fish and chips at our waitresses' suggestion. The food arrived fast, hot, and tasted out of this world. Crispy breaded fresh fish, homemade tarter sauce, and fresh cut fries. Yum. It was very loud in the restaurant and warm inside. But the food was so great and host and waitress were friendly.
Trailhead has a lot of your tradition favorites along with their own artistic additions that will tantilate your taste buds. I had the Catawba Falls consisting of grilled trout over kale with pickled onion, shredded carrot, goat cheese and topped with three slices of lemon. Next time I'll have it with a glass of red wine. My wife had the battered chicken breast with kale and corn pudding. I tried it and it was delicious. She loved it. The beer is much less than any place in Asheville. Hit the trail. You'll be glad you did!
Absolutely wonderful experience! Awesome food! Awesome atmosphere (love thier music selection) ! Awesome service! Awesome prices! We will be making this a must stop place when we travel through town. Definitely worth a detour. ❤️❤️❤️
Went here to eat a burger after hiking for the day. The burger was great and waitress was very nice, tried the corn pudding and it was slightly sweet and a bit crunchy—very good!
The burger patties are thick and filling. Inside was a bit but good spot to eat!
The food was unique and flavorful. My salmon burger had a lot going on but it came together well and it was healthy. The nachos were the same thing. My wife loved her salad
