I stumbled across a sports bar in Asheville, NC that was not bad, called Juicy Lucy's, don't know if it's a chain. Specialized in burgers, they were "OK", and they had about 15 beers on tap (about 5 were Miller Lite types).
We were there for lunch. The wife ordered her burger RARE and it came much more cooked than mine which was MED RARE, so they did it again, and it was still more done than mine. She ate it anyway, and later the manager came up and asked about it all and she pointed to her burger. He took half off, which is fair enough.
They had fried green beans as a side that were pretty solid.
We had dinner at a place there that had really good reviews and sounded great and it was entirely mediocre. And not cheap. Asheville supposedly is a happening place for foodies etc. I'm still looking. We did find a pretty nice wine bar at least.
The wife was unimpressed with the large house they have there for tours, but she liked the gardens.
