Veranda Cafe & Gift

Waitress not too friendly. Burger not cooked as promised. Been here many times and wait staff is usually so nice. Will stick to the food I usually get it's much better. Will return.

I'm a frequent visitor to Black Mountain, but this is the first time I've actually been able to eat lunch at the Veranda Cafe. Excellent experience all the way around. First, the food was outstanding. I tried one of the special soups - a creamed collard greens and ham - and the special of the day - Asian pineapple chicken curry over rice. Both were savory and delicious. Topped this off with a delectable salted caramel cheesecake with freshly made decaf coffee. Perfect complement to the meal. Also, the staff was friendly and attentive (even with a full house), and the decor/environment was warm and cozy on a sunny but chilly day outside. I would also recommend getting there early. By noon on a Tuesday, the restaurant was full with a growing waiting list. But the wait is worth it. Highly recommended.

Best part of our trip! Very friendly staff, great food! All around a wonderful experience!

A delightful treat. The waitstaff made us feel like were old friends. The Black eye pea soup was fantastic. There were more ham chunks in that soup than what we put in our soup. I guarantee that we will be back the next time we visit Black mountain.

The soups and sandwichs are incredible. The quality of the food is excellent. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We couldn't decide what we wanted to get. So we'll be back to enjoy what we didn't get this time!
