Fodor's Expert Review Rocky's Hot Chicken Shack
$
West Asheville
Lunch
Serving Nashville-style fried chicken (at different levels of spiciness), this casual restaurant is a little ways from downtown, but a local's favorite and one of the best places for a cheap meal or takeout picnic. Large chicken platters, sandwiches, sides, and your pick of sauces are all loaded with flavor; order the fried pickles with zippy ranch as a snack. Family platters feed 8--15.
