Excellent service! The food was delicious! We loved the Poke Nachos! (Could hardly get a picture of them). The burger with goat cheese, arugula and onions was cooked perfectly. Can’t wait to return.

The husband and I went to South Paw yesterday and just loved it. We sat at the bar and Lexi was our server. She’s so sweet and even let us sample a liquor that comes in an unusual bottle. We met the owner, Dan, and chatted with him a bit. He was very nice and personable.
Of course, we had to order the ahi tuna nachos and they did not disappoint. Steve feels the eel sauce has a bit of honey in it and even suggested covering wings in that sauce. Maybe we will see it as an option one day.
Based on a friend’s review, I ordered the French dip and I’m glad I did. So delicious! Next time, I’ll ask for the hand cut fries extra crispy. The flavor was great, I just like ’em crispier.
My husband ordered the wings and they were BIG and juicy! JUMBO! He enjoyed them.
Sorry for the partially eaten food photos. Lol
I took a picture of the women’s bathroom because it was one of the nicer ones I’ve been in. The restaurant is larger than we thought and it only looks empty because we were there around 3 pm. We will definitely be back.

South Paw is an absolute gem on the south side of Asheville! We had such a wonderful time here — everything from the service to the atmosphere was spot on.
The food was the real star. The scallop dish was cooked to perfection — tender, flavorful, and beautifully plated. And the ahi tuna nachos? Out of this world. Fresh, vibrant, and the kind of appetizer you’ll be thinking about long after you leave.
This isn’t just another restaurant — it’s a true must-stop if you’re in South Asheville. Great vibe, friendly staff, and a menu that makes you want to come back again and again. Highly recommend!

The food here is SO good. Definitely seems each item is made to order. Had an appetizer and 2 entrees, each one we rated a 9/10 or 10/10, nothing less. Absolutely delicious! The inside atmosphere is a bit strange but nothing that’s not easily looked past for the Amazon food. We will totally be back! Oh and it’s SUPER fairly priced

This place is truly a hidden gem! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by Shawn—one of the friendliest and most attentive people I’ve ever encountered while dining out. We came in with a large group of nine, and he went above and beyond to make sure every one of us felt welcome and well cared for.
The attention to detail stood out in all the best ways—from the silverware that looked brand new, to the spotless bathrooms, to the crisp, refreshing water. And the food was absolutely delicious.
Even though we arrived late in the evening, we never once felt rushed. On the contrary, Shawn encouraged us to relax and enjoy our time together, knowing it was a bit of a family reunion for us. That kind of hospitality is rare and deeply appreciated.
Everything about this place was stellar. Highly recommended for both the food and the experience!

When your first opened, as in the very first week, we showed up, loved it, the owner/waiter was great. He understood how to make people feel seen and at home.
We went out and told everyone immediately and posted on all of our social for your place. It worked!, clients came back, loved the food.
Yet our last two visits haven’t been as such. This last time, my husband and I sat there for 15 min. First, we were at the door, the waiters never said one word. We did not complain. It was fifteen minutes later when we just left.
It matters a lot in a small space, too. (Note Our friends restaurant in TN, seats the same, he just hires courteous, aware wait staff).”
Our previous other visit, we waited forever for our simple two person order. The waitress seemed off, tired, nervous, who knows. So be it
The waiters you have now, they just look at ya as you wait. Not, “We can seat you in ..time, sorry for the wait, can we get you a drink from the bar?”
It’s very odd. Doesn’t seem right for any customers who walk in. We sat in the chairs. Not one word and we have a good reportie with local venues in town.
Hire aware, professional staff always, like when the owner did it.
Train them in that way, please.
Never hire friends or family if they can’t protect your venue.
We hope this helps your venue

My wife and I have been passing by this place a few months now. Between busy schedules and life in general we haven’t stopped by…that was until yesterday.
For starters, the restaurant was extremely clean and cozy. We were greeted promptly by the bar tender as we walked through the front door. My wife and I are both N/A so was pleasantly surprised to find that they had a great selection of drinks catered to us.
We met an awesome person named Mimi at the bar that suggested the AHI Tuna Nachos, so we took a chance. It was a healthy portion, the Tuna was fresh and the flavor was amazing! We could have stopped there and this would have been a 5 star experience.
We chose our main entrees, my wife was feeling the Ribeye and I chose the Shrimp and Grits. We both were blown away by the food. I haven’t had shrimp and grits this tasty outside of Charleston. My wife said the steak(cooked medium rare) was extremely tender and grilled to perfection.
It’s obvious the chef cares about the food and menu, as there are plenty of choices but NOT overwhelming. In closing I would definitely recommend and I hope others will give this little hidden gem a try. We love to support local homegrown restaurants! To close, I say keep doing your thing South Paw, your food is definitely a shining star in the area!

We just stopped in for some lunch and oh my goodness! We got the lemon pepper wings and chicken cheesesteak. Both items were exceptional along with their French fries and ranch! Their ice cream was also homemade and we highly recommend their Chocolate Chip. The waitress was very nice and service was exceptional. This is by far my new favorite mountain restaurant and we can’t wait to come back to try again.
