W.A.L.K. — Restaurant in Asheville

The atmosphere is nice, sort of a low key local bar vibe but spacious and airy so it doesn't feel like a cramped dive. The music is good and the people here have always been chill.

The drinks are great. The tap selection is pretty decent and the prices aren't bad. The mixed drinks are a little more than some places nearby but I've always had strong pours and they're well made.

The food is generally good -- some things are better than others. The super mac and sweet potato tots are consistently great, and my partner gets the shrimp po'boy every time and loves it. For the portions and quality, the food is a good deal. Plus the kitchen is open late, which is super helpful.

My only complaint is that the service is very inconsistent, and the timing issues from that can make the food lackluster. It generally takes a bit to get things brought to the table -- even simple things such as condiments -- and nearly every time we've gone, parts of our meal have been delivered no longer hot. I'm not sure if this is an issue with the kitchen or the wait staff, but several of the servers don't seem super invested. This isn't enough of an issue to keep us from going (or tipping well) -- we're millennials who have worked in the service industry so we're pretty understanding -- but if you're eating with high maintenance people, I would find somewhere else for that particular meal.

Overall, it's an affordable place to get good food and have drinks, as long as your expectations...

WORST SERVICE I HAVE EVER HAD. ENTIRE FRONT OF HOUSE STAFF IS A COMPLETE JOKE.

The only reason this place is even getting 1 is due to the fact that the food was actually decent. The problem with this place is that the front of house staff are a complete joke whom obviously do not care at all about serving their customers. We asked the bartender about sitting in the spot looking out of restaurant in front of building, he said someone would absolutely come and take our order. We wait 20 minutes making multiple hand gestures as well as eye contact with waitresses only to continue to be completely ignored. We decide to actually move up to the bar where we were finally able to order a drink. Oh by the way, one of the waitresses friends walked and sat at the spot we left not 5 minutes later and she walked right up to them to take their order. I observed that these waitresses only cared about huddling around in the corner and chatting / watching videos on social media the entire time. Any time they had to leave their ridiculous little circle and actually work they looked so aggravated and their attitude was extremely poor and completely unprofessional. Food was ok though. If I were the owner I’d fire the GM and every single server here. Definitely keep the kitchen...

I went for lunch on a Thursday, so I may not have had the full experience of this place that from what I’m told is great for watching the big game or other gatherings, as to be expected for a pub. The menu has something for everyone. Good variety. Tacos, quesadillas, small plates, BLT’s salads, vegetarian options. Overall good. I had the Super Mac, which is a huge bowl of Mac-n-cheese with your choice of beef or beyond burger & poco de gallo. It was good, but the mac-n-cheese was pretty lackluster. I’m finding this in more and more restaurants these days. Pretty disappointing, considering that I know the beautiful variety of possibilities for this American classic! One of my party had a salad, which looked excellent. Another had the BLT & honestly if I go back I will probably choose that option. Nice atmosphere, if you like the open warehouse feel. What stood out to me is the generous space between tables. Elbow room is nice, especially if a member of your party has mobility concerns. Restrooms were also spacious & accommodating. Service was notably slow, especially considering there were only 3-4 tables occupied. No dedicated parking. Street parking is pretty sparse, so be...
