    Highly recommend

    Our first time here. Took advantage of the nice, mild evening so we could bring our girl with us. Patio is nice and spacious. Waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu….they actually have a dog menu. Our Mei Ling enjoyed it too.

    Perfect spot!

    Asheville is well known as being dog friendly, but the folks at Twisted Laurel kick it up a notch! Our Golden Retriever thoroughly enjoyed his grilled trout and sweet potatoes from their pet menu. Living within easy driving distance, we’ll definitely be back!

    Delicious doggie dining

    I have never come across a restaurant with a dog menu before. Loved it, more restaurants should do this! They were out of our first item ordered (puppyloaf must be popular) but my doggo chowed down on her eggs and sweet potatoes. Also important the human food was delicious and we had great service. Hopping place so I’d put in a reservation.

    Very pleasant, even in the freezing cold!

    We needed someplace to stop and eat while driving through Asheville, but it was during the awful cold snap. Sure, plenty of places have dog-friendly patios but how many of them are willing to serve you in 30 degree weather? Twisted Laurel was so welcoming and set up two heaters at our table to try to keep us comfortable despite the cold. The food was delicious and the doggy menu was adorable. Fantastic experience despite the weather.

    Your pups will love this place!

    We went to the Twisted Laurel upon arriving to Asheville! Our dog Bryleigh was ready to get out of the car but little did she know, she was about to get lunch as well! It was a beautiful afternoon with a great breeze but don’t worry, they have coverings to keep the sun off of you and your furry friends. They immediately brought us & Bryleigh waters. My husband and I ordered off our menu and Bryleigh got to order off of the dog menu! She thoroughly enjoyed the burger (came with two patties)! Our food and drinks were great, too! We will definitely come back the next time we’re in town!

    Might have been good but inclement weather interfered

    The patio has sun sails but no waterproof cover. Not the restaurant’s fault to be sure, but we and 3 other parties with dogs tried to wait out the storm huddling under the one sort of solid covering, which was anything but solid. We ended up getting the meal to go. Never received the “dog menu” others note when originally seated. Food was ok. Brussel sprouts were a solid winner. Meatball sliders a miss with limited flavor. Caveman “wings” are actually drumsticks. Would say “dog accepting” rather than “dog friendly”. There is not a lot of space between tables.

    Extra Special Treatment!

    This is by far the best a restaurant has ever treated our pup! They even have a special dog menu to choose from.

    Dog-friendly staff, doggie menu, water and treats!

    The doggie menu was brought out to us straight-away and included burger,chicken, peanut butter, and doggie ice cream. Our 4-month old pup loved his treat that they gave him at the end, which they shared was grain free in case your dog needs that. Very attentive to dogs.

    Was a bit sunny on a March afternoon, but the sun went behind the building and shade almost covered the patio by about 3:15pm when we departed.

    A good dinner spot

    The outside patio looked a bit barren and sun drenched when we passed at lunchtime, but we called back in the evening and it was shady and had a bit of atmosphere with a DJ presenting a mix of easy listening music. The food and wine here are very good; they welcome dogs and bring water straight away, and there is a dog menu (although we had to ask for it).

    Great Experience!

    The entire city of Asheville is very dog friendly. Twisted Laurel had a large patio and when we arrived, they seated us and brought our dog a large bowl of water. They have a special dog menu that allows you to put together a special meal for your pooch. Ours had salmon, zucchini, and sweet potatoes served to her in her own special bowl. Great experience!
