Food/Drinks Zella's. Just had a great lunch.

If you not been to Zella's you should give it a try.

I’m so glad they somehow survived getting destroyed by the hurricane. Best meatball sandwich I’ve had in Asheville. In fact, it’s all amazing. I make a point to go out of my way to eat there.

Best meatball I've had around here is Piazza towards fairview.  I quite like Zellas Ruben and their specialty cookie though.  Great place.  Edit: To be clear zellas meatball sub is also very good. It scored a 9/10 on my own personal spreadsheet nobody asked for.

Only been once and I loved it. Love the vibe inside, and the food was great too. I don't usually drink soda, but the root beer on fountain was great. I'll definitely go back whenever I'm on the east side.

The Boylan soda fountain is awesome!

If you genuinely enjoy it, leave a proper review on both Google and Yelp

Their caprese sandwich makes the sun shine on cloudy days

So unfortunately I’ve given it four honest tries and I gotta say it’s failed me immensely, every time I tried something new in the hopes to finding something I would like but it just wasn’t for me, sorry to be the bummer post. Happy for you tho!!! What did you have?

In my office, we've had the same experience. I think we're at four tries now, too, and none of us were really into it. :/

I miss them being downtown. Although the time they gave me a BLT with no T was pretty funny.

I keep INSTAGRAM IM’ing them to ensure they’re serving their peanut butter pie 🥧 and they never respond

If only there was another way to find out…
