It's hard to give a good tip for this place. Everything that hit our table was delicious!!! Super farm fresh! Feel great after eating there! Try the black eyed peas , collards and fried gotten tomatoes

Angie MacAlpine

The smoked bacon gravy biscuits and pumpkin short bread are amazing. And they brought out a basket of toys for my kids that kept them happy so I could actually enjoy a warm meal. Fantastic place!

Melanie Maddox

Early Girl Benny ! The perfect brunch food . Eggs , grit cake (kind of like a hash brown ), and spinach and tomatoes make it good for you, right!? Plus a biscuit to sop it all up with. Delish!

Liz Muirhead

Amazing southern cooking ! This place has the perfect adorable atmosphere, the most on point southern menu, and features fresh local ingredients . Atmosphere is hip and chill , and food is spectacular!

Jen Cunningham

One of the best breakfast spots in Asheville, and that’s saying something. Worth the wait! Whatever you order will be amazing.

Kelly Weaver

My wife’s spinach potato cake was terrific and my Yam Slam was ok. With so many great options, wouldn’t order the Yam Slam again. Biscuits were excellent as was the Bloody Mary .

Erinn Murphy

This was quite possibly the best breakfast I've ever had! Local sausage and sweet potato scramble with a fresh made biscuit . Simply amazing!

Paul McRae

Great food. Questionable service. Had a delicious breakfast here with the Benny. Server never followed up during the meal and failed to deliver an ordered beverage as a result. Hoping it was atypical.

HeidiHo

Yummy! Best trout with greens, REAL Mac n Cheese , biscuit w REAL berry Jam , Try the local Hot Sauce !! No amateurs here!!

Michael Leis

The chicken and gravy biscuit is amazing. Sweet potato habanero hot sauce is delicious and please try before you apply.

Jade Flack

Broccoli cheese hushpuppies ! They're served with some of the best apple butter I have had in ages. I know you might be thinking that's a strange combo, but it's delicious!!

Kira Rocha

Very interesting dishes, try green tomatoes , salad with bacon and chicken was delicious, and kids meal was amazing!

Shirley Liu

Local sausage & potato scramble w/ smoked habanero sauce was a great combo. Best (thick) bacon ever.. However, the broccoli & cheddar hushpuppies were too oily. Mimosa didnt taste fresh squeezed :(

Liz Muirhead

Breakfast food , southern food , mimosas , bow to the king, Charleston chicken biscuit - basically everything is amazing.

Reid Barwick

Way better than City Cafe ! Large portions , original local menu mix. Try veggie Benedict, or the Porky with sweet pulled pork .

Jon Mathers

The Charleston Chicken Biscuit was delicious and crunchy! Love the stone ground corn grits too!

Liz Devilbiss

This place has the BEST home fries . Broccoli Cheddar hush puppies are fantastic and the staff are the nicest people. Best place in Asheville, hands down.

Tasting Table

Order the latke-like spinach-potato cake dish topped with tomato gravy , if it’s available, or try the vegan tofu scramble or pitch-perfect shrimp and grits : Read more

Great vegetarian options - local baked tempeh instead of bacon or sausage

Carsten Nohrden

Chicken and waffles was super tasty. The biscuits were awesome!

Ben Abney

Service was great. Menu is typical Asheville, that is trendy and frou-frou, but they do have a southern breakfast offering for us traditionalists who like simple, fresh food .

Andrew Furman

Get the famous sausage and sweet potato scramble. It's amazing.

Awesome, awesome food. Ordered a lamb burger off the specials board. Try the cucumber and onion salad (ask for hot sauce ).

Sebastian Blanc

Do not go without trying their pie of the day. Pecan was amazing. The food is fresh and the ambiance is lovely.

Tyler McCall

My favorite place in the world...pretty much. Great food. Awesome service. If going for Sunday brunch plan to wait. For a large group you could be chilling for up to an hour.

The fried chicken and bacon salad was delicious!!

Emily Pike

The best place to bring friends, family to eat- breakfast all day! Local ingredients and hormone free animal products.

They seemed short staffed or something wasn’t quite right. Food was fine and that’s the main thing. Very popular so maybe book if they take reservations

Lauren Bates

Get a side of gravy (vegetarian option available) with your breakfast or brunch .

Ryan Johnson

It was busy on Saturday, but worth the wait. Grits are stone ground, but each grit is huge...almost like hominy.

Peter Agliata

The Shepherd's Pie , fried green tomatoes ...everything. really good scratch made food.

Katherine Fortner

Interesting menu. Vegetarian friendly ! Very crowded ...for a reason

Caron Sh

Early Girl Benny ! Made with grit cakes instead of an English muffin .
