Tall John'sA+

152 Montford Ave, Asheville, NC 28801 · Restaurant · Downtown

A polished Montford neighborhood spot delivering refined, seasonally driven plates, standout roast chicken, and warm hospitality; prices are on the high side and seating can feel tight.

Our take

Tall John's stands among the region's finest dining establishments through exceptional food quality anchored by signature dishes like roast chicken and tartare, paired with outstanding service attentiveness that creates genuine hospitality. Warm, bustling ambiance with kitchen counter seating and strong repeat loyalty reflect a chef-led restaurant that executes contemporary, produce-driven cooking with reliable precision. Tight seating and occasional service pacing variations prevent perfection, but overall performance exemplifies what makes this neighborhood dining destination exceptional.

One caveat: Pricing is genuinely expensive ($28+ mains) which may surprise casual diners
