Tripps Restaurant, Asheville

They have recently closed down. Further comments not needed.

This was the worst place I have ever eaten. I had a Grilled Chicken Ceasar Salad. Service and atmosphere was good but food was terrible. Each person in our party had something diffferent and we ended up leaving most of what was brought to us. Would not recommend this place to anyone. Much better places to eat in Asheville.

Love it!! Food is phenomenal and so is the service. Their state street burger is so good.. I started making at home I loved it so much. Start to finish..perfection is; the Bayou Shrimp appetizer, the Mediterranean Salmon entree', and the Carnegie Cheesecake with strawberries. I can't wait for my next trip to Asheville, so i can indulge yet again!!

We there again last night. Loved the pork chops with spiced apples. My husband had a filet with crab meat which looked great.

My wife and I enjoyed very nice Ceasar salads followed by an outstanding filet mignon and a 22oz. ribeye which was fabulous. The beef quality is much better than Outback or Longhorn. Comparable to the beef we ate the Grove Park Inn a few nights before but just half the price! Even the salads are better - and bigger. No lines, no waiting, imformed and friendly staff - what's not to love? This must be Asheville's best kept secret.

Boy was I surprised with this restaurant. Expecting to go in for a "beer and some wings" in a Chili's type of restaurant I encountered one of the best steaks I have eaten. Thans to our informed and friendly server I learned his restaurant has aged Certified Angus steaks. They are absolute perfection. Tripps' beef outclasses Outback, Texas Roadhouse, etc. I will put them up against any of the "hipper" restaurants of which I frequent. For lighter fare try the Sante Fe Pasta which is finished with a sweet red pepper cream sauce also known as a "diablo sauce" in some restaurants - my traveling companion raved about it. The ceasar salad is excellent. The fresh baked bread with olive oil are reason enough to check out this Asheville landmark. i can vouch for the frozen Mocha Mud Pie covered in hot fudge or the real Carnegie Deli Cheesecake topped with your choice of strawberries, caramel, or chocolate for dessert. The wine selection includes respectable selections like Hahn Chardonney, Eco Domoni Pinot Grigio, Ravenswood Zinfandel, and Greg Norman Carbernet. A great selection of beers including all domestic and import/premiums Guiness, Bass, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Sam Adams, and one of my favorites - Asheville's own Highland Gaelic Ale. You may also choose from a wide variety of fine liquors and specialty drinks including the "Perfect Margarita" made with Patron and Cointreau which my friend enjoyed. The service was prompt and friendly. Joe, the manager, came by and made sure we were satisfied with our experience. I will be back to Tripps when I am in Asheville!

This is truly my neighborhood bar/restaurant. Everyone is friendly, food is great, drinks great....just don't tell anyone. I would hate to have to wait in line next time.

Tripp's is where we go when we don't want a long wait, want to park and eat large slabs of steak in a hurry. Actually, this place is really great for lunch too! Reasonable, good service, simple, uncomplicated fare. It's a winner.
