51 Grill was the spot after a concert- not much open in this part of Asheville at 11:30pm. We did carryout and had a Gobbler, a Gyro, and a Chicken Parm sub. Everything was good- the Gyro owner wished for a bit more meat, but enjoyed the feta cheese. The Gobbler owner next time will ask for remoulade instead of plain mayo. The Chicken Parm was consumed without desire for changes.
Nice and friendly service, good sammies. Next time, I'll try one of their deep fried sides. -

Friendly service, but a pretty plain sandwich that probably costs a bit more than it's worth.
I've been intrigued by this place for a long time, as we drive past it every time we go up Merrimon, so we decided to finally stop in on a trip to nearby Staples. The menu has lots of delicious looking things on it, but they all strike you as a little expensive. I paid $7.50 for a pork sandwich that was mostly lettuce and some plain potato chips. My wife got a Philly Cheesesteak that she said was absolutely delicious, but I'm the one writing the reviews here. She also got really sick later, but who knows why that was.
This was for lunch. I recognize their role in being a late night spot that you can depend on, but for a sober lunch, it just didn't do it for me, I'm afraid. -

Had heard nothing but good things about late night food here.
First time trying it I got some pretty nasty food poisoning.
Almost had to miss a shift at work. Seriously, fire from both ends.
Will not be having again. -

Late-night burgers that can't be beat! The guys behind the counter are not the friendliest, but when you consider they're dealing with drunk idiots all night I think they deserve a pass!

What? I haven't reviewed this place?
51 grill was one of the first establishments I ever ate in Asheville. It provides a very valuable service to the town.
What service you ask?
Late night, post bar, greasy spoon, deep fried loveliness.
It's not great or good by any means. But the fact is it's a service they're providing. It's within walking distance of most of the bars downtown so you can get your burger, or your fries, or in my case your Cuban sandwich, have a few more laughs with some friends, and then stumble home... belly filled with glistening grease and regret it all the next morning.
The best thing about 51 grill is that when you're in the right mindset to decide to go there, you're going to think it's the best choice you've ever made. And it is my friend.... it is! -

So if you want to eat a late night meal and don't feel like driving to Taco Bell, WaHo or eating vegan food at Rosettas, 51 Grill is your only other option. Here is a quick breakdown:
Plus: It's open until 4AM, the food is decent meaning that it is cooked to order and somewhat fresh, outdoor seating in the summer (smoking is ok), good location on Merrimon right beside downtown, did I mention it's open until 4AM
Minus: the food is expensive for the quality you're getting (I think the cheapest thing on the menu is $7), the sketchiest of sketchballs make this their late night hangout so be prepared to see and/or get in a fight, and your stomach will mostly likely not like you the next morning.
Summed up: Until a real late night restaurant opens up in Asheville, 51 grill will have to do. -

I was just looking through my friend (and enthusiastic yelper) Kipper's reviews and noticed his review on 51 Grill. And I realized that I could have very well written it myself.
So why re-invent the wheel? This is literally, Exactly how I feel about 51 Grill. Oh, but I will point out to you out there that you may be surprised at the prices at 51 Grill and find them too expensive. But I disagree, I think that they are quite reasonable actually. The food is not superb, but its better than McDs or what have you, and I think their prices reflect that fairly. So without further ado, here is my review, which came out of Kipper's mouth first:
"What? I haven't reviewed this place?

The food is terrible and overpriced but it's open really late and you can get a PBR for a dollar.
This is a little diner type place that's built into a gas station. I paid about 20 bucks for a couple sandwiches that came with fries, and they were pretty bad - we both got the roast pork "po boy." It contained probably 2 ounces of pork and 6 ounces of thousand island dressing. I like thousand island dressing but this was extreme, nevermind the fact that the sandwich wasn't a po boy at all.
Still, PBRs for a dollar. -

51 Grill is one of those places that I've never been in the daytime. Luckily, it is probably the best place open late off of Merrimon. Nothing exquisite here, just good hoagies that aren't available anywhere else late.

On a lark I decided to stop by here for lunch on a Friday, around 1pm.
Walked in, a couple of people waiting for their orders. I ordered and had a seat. Noticed some confusion as far as what order came with what. Mine was supposed to come with chips and a drink, I had to ask for the drink and when I got to work I opened the box to discover no chips. Not sure what was going on but they need a ticket system that has who gets what...and pay attention to it.
Missing chips aside the good wasn't that bad. The wrap was tasty, lots of chicken. Very moist, maybe too moist but it was good.
Menu is sandwiches/burgers/etc.
Would I eat here again? Maybe, just to see if today was an off day.
