Like pretty much everyone else, I’m going to tell you to get the lobster roll. It is absolutely worth the money, no matter what market price is at the time (I mean, reasonably speaking, anyway). It melts in your mouth, and you will want to lick the paper it’s served on. The atmosphere is quaint and calm, and the service is lovely. You can sit outside or in a small seating area inside. Parking is easy, food is fabulous. You can’t miss here!

We loved our most recent visit for dinner at Baby Bull. The menu is simple and perfect. All items are order worthy. The food is ordered at a counter and brought to you in a very timely manner. The love of my life and I both got a double cheeseburger, as is. Hers were smashed, mine was not - I had it cooked medium. Side of fries and hush puppies. Perfect meal! The burgers are so good. Do yourself a favor and don’t make changes, order a double as is. You’ll love it. We sat outside since baby puppy was with us. Great vibes outside. Such a great place for a bite. Enjoy all!

It’s the best cheeseburger joint in Asheville! Order the double cheeseburger as is (don’t mess with perfection) unless you prefer well done & then order same but with smashed burgers. Extra pickles are on the house! Fries come with an aioli sauce that is extra satisfying. There are picnic tables outside & limited seating inside. Order at the counter & they’ll deliver your food to your table. They have a limited beer & wine cooler just before the register, so grab whatever interests you prior to ordering. You can also order online and take it to your favorite Asheville brewery.

This was amazing! Everything we had was delicious. I got the special which was a warm Italian sub and it was mouthwatering good. The hush puppies and fries were also delicious. If it’s warm outside, they have a nice outdoor patio area with picnic tables. Would 100% recommend!

Delicious food and nice atmosphere. The menu is limited, but everything was delicious!! We had the asian philly, the pork sandwich, fried fish sandwich and the Indian sliders - all excellent! The fries and hush puppies are amazing. Chocolate malts for dessert. Perfect!!

Finally we got to Baby Bull and it did not disappoint! This has been on our list for a while and we were both craving a burger. I’m not a huge burger person, but oh my gosh, I have been craving this smash burger almost nightly since I had it! We read reviews to order it as is, so we followed that suggestion and it was 10/10! Seriously mouth wateringly delicious. The fries came with a really good garlic aioli and the hush puppies were homemade goodness. The patio is dog friendly. It’s counter service and then you take your number to a table. We will for sure be back! Also super affordable.

Baby Bull is flipping divine. If you’re into juicy, melt-in-your-mouth burgers cooked medium rare (and you should be), the double cheeseburger here is your new religion. They’re upfront about it too — this burger is cooked the way the burger gods intended. Want it cooked through? Go for the smashed burger (still amazing, no judgment). Fries? Golden, crunchy, and salted with the precision of a seasoned fry wizard. Pair it all with an ice-cold beer and you’ve got the holy trinity of comfort food. The vibe is super chill, no downtown chaos — just good food, good people, and maybe a few cool dogs hanging out on the patio. Locals know. Visitors should find out. 10/10, would follow the scent of that burger into the sunset.
