The S&w Market - Asheville

I am frequently at this food place these days. I like the food very much and find the building charming, my only complaint is that the music is repetitive. I must have come three times and the same songs are playing. I also tried leaving a tip for the cleaning staff, they seemed to be working hard and who knows what they get paid but I could not find a tip jar and ended up giving cash directly. I would like to see some sort of container for them to collect tips in so that we can leave them money more discreetly. I prefer to reward work silently. anyway rock on thanks for the good chicken and interesting other options!

I love visiting the S&W cafeteria. The food is always good and it’s such a cool building!

A couple options here at the market which varied between fried chicken, tai food, empanadas and a couple dessert foods. Buxton Chicken Palace is where I chose to ate the chicken tenders were very good. I didn’t enjoy the honey sugars but they had a very good white bbq sauce. It was a little busy so that might be why the wait was so long but I will say if I were in a rush I would’ve had to leave without my food bc it took about 30 minutes to get chicken tenders. The tai place was very good not many menu options but was fast and delicious. Upstairs there is plenty of seating and the highland brewery where you can buy beer.

The clerk at the ice cream place really helped me out of a bind. They were so kind to me. I didn't order any food but the place was very clean and there were lots of options. Great service.

Overall this is a great place to stop downtown. The variety of options inside means there is something for everyone. The individual vendors are all top notch Asheville choices.They used to have weird chairs that were uncomfortable, but they changed them and are good now, yay!One of my favorite things to do here is get a nice porter or stout from the Highlands Brewing bar and make a float with some ice cream from The Hop. Not a lot of places you can mix foods like this.
