We ate lunch at the new location: 114 N Lexington Av, do NOT go to the Patton Street location, as they moved in March, 2011!! We had read rave reviews on T.A. and I had the sampler plate with tuna, chicken & egg salad. They were all good, but the chicken had a little too much basil for my taste,... More

As soon as we walked in to Loretta's, the woman working greeted us warmly and since it was our first time there, we asked about the menu. She happily told us what they were famous for, what was most popular, etc. We settled on a chicken salad sandwich and a grilled cheese with three cheeses and pesto; both came with... More

This gets 5 stars because Loretta's accomplishes with success what it sets out to do. The place is about 8 feet wide, it can be hot in the summer, and there is only counter service.

Loretta's has been in Asheville for God knows how many years, and it's because they're consistently great. Come with an appetite ... the sandwiches are the size of small countries, and the soups will keep you full all day long.

Loretta's has GREAT sandwiches with wonderful thick, homemade breads. It's only open for lunch and is always hustling. A local's favorite. Egg salad is just tremendous! More

Good food for price. Place is small with two seater tables. You can see everything going on in the "kitchen" area. I would eat there again. More
