Bev’s Steak Opening in Black Mountain This November
The new concept comes from a local Black Mountain couple.
BLACK MOUNTAIN, NC — Bev’s Steak is preparing to open at 117 Cherry Street Suite C, Black Mountain, NC 28711, with soft openings planned the weekend before Thanksgiving and a fuller launch the first week of December, co-owner Ali Whitman told Business Debut. The restaurant is led by Chef Jake Whitman and his wife, Ali Whitman.
What to Expect
The basement space of a circa-1914 building features exposed original brick and a dark, moody palette. Guests can enter via a stairway from Cherry Street or an accessible side entry with double doors.
Indoor seating is targeting about 50, with an outdoor patio dining slated to debut in the upcoming spring. Expect steakhouse à la carte service with an approachable tone. “It’s a very creative take on a steakhouse,” Ali Whitman told Business Debut, noting small plates for sharing alongside classic steaks.
Menu and Vision
Whitman drew on his passion for Japanese cuisine to shape the menu within the steakhouse format. In addition to locally sourced 100 percent Wagyu beef from North Carolina’s Wilders Farm, Bev’s plans to feature game meats as sourcing allows.
The bar will be full service with a wine-forward list focused on bold reds and French selections, plus cocktails, beer, and nonalcoholic options.

The name honors chef Jake Whitman's family. “Bev is short for Beverly, Jake’s grandmother,” Ali Whitman told Business Debut. “He grew up cooking with her, and the name just stuck.” Chef Whitman has opened multiple restaurants in the area, previously partnering on concepts in Swannanoa and Black Mountain. His most recent experience has been as the Chef Partner at The Pure & Proper in Black Mountain.

Soft openings are planned for the weekend before Thanksgiving, with regular service beginning the first week of December. Patio seating will follow in the spring. Any date changes will be announced.
