Hendersonville, North Carolina

Hendersonville Restaurants

Breakfast counters, Main Street taverns, a seasonal Seventh Avenue dining room, Flat Rock barbecue, German cooking, seafood, and a late-night pub cover several parts of Hendersonville.

Meals by place and mood

Hendersonville's dining districts

Breakfast before the farm roads

Arabella brings American and Latin breakfast plates, espresso, and brunch cocktails to downtown. Eat before driving to orchards or DuPont, where food choices thin out.

Main Street evening

Shine adds rooftop and dining-room choices in a historic building, Brooks Tavern covers burgers and draft beer, and Hannah Flanagan's keeps an Irish-pub menu into the evening.

A reserved seasonal dinner

Claywood's Seventh Avenue dining room emphasizes regional farmers, cocktails, and wine or whiskey pairings. Check its current service days and reserve rather than assuming a walk-in table.

South toward Flat Rock

Flat Rock Wood Room combines barbecue and wood-fired pizza; Tenango's serves Mexican cooking near Upward Road. Both are on the south side of town after a Flat Rock or DuPont outing.
