About S&W Market
The S&W Market is Asheville’s only food hall and it’s located downtown in the historic S&W Building. This building was actually designed for the S&W Cafeteria. The name is certainly a throwback!
It’s a great place to grab lunch in downtown Asheville and the perfect destination if dining with a larger group with a variety of dietary preferences.
The cafeteria part has an old-school mall food court feel (in a good way!) It’s a gorgeous building both inside and out and the food vendors are anything but mall food court quality.
S&W Market Vendors
Below is a list of current food vendors at S&W Market.
- Buxton Chicken Palace: Choose from a fried chicken sandwich or chicken nuggets and pair it with a variety of sauces. We love their Alabama BBQ sauce!
- Bun Intended: Thai-inspired street food that started as a food truck and now has its permanent spot in the market.
- Flour: Scratch-made biscuits and coffee. They open at 7 am (except Tuesdays.)
- Farm Dogs: Farm Burger’s take on grass-fed sausages and hot dogs.
- The Hop: a beloved local ice cream shop with several dairy-free options available
- The Times Bar: Locally sourced and seasonally inspired cocktails and coffee. The Times Bar is connected to the S&W Cafeteria by a shared patio.
- Highland Brewing: S&W is Highland’s second taproom in the area and is a great spot to stop in for a pint alongside some of your favorite foods. They are located upstairs in S&W.
- Mikasa Criolla: A newcomer serving up Peruvian food (fresh stew, empanadas, paninis…)
Seating At S&W Market
The S&W Market has both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor tables are just across from Pritchard Park where the drum circle sets up on Friday evenings in the summer/early-fall. Inside there’s a main area with a few tables off to the side, or you can head upstairs to the Highland taproom.
We love the shared seating with the various vendors because it makes the market a really great place for groups. Everyone can try something of their choosing and you don’t need to split up to do so.
