I came to this place last month while I was visiting Asheville. I was craving local food and searched for a while until I found this hidden gem. They have a small parking lot for their customers. This is your traditional diner and you will definitely be surrounded by locals which is always a good thing. We were sitted right away, however, ten minutes after we arrived there was a line waiting (again, an excelent sign). We got a little bit of everything: a gyro with mediterránea salad, french fries, biscuits, french toast and eggs with sausage patties and bacon. Everything came out SUPER QUICK! Which made my fiance happy because I was being a moody grinch since I was hangry. I really liked this place and if I ever go back to Asheville, I will be visiting this place without a doubt. read more

Came to Five Points for breakfast. What a pleasant surprise; delicious food and exceptional service. The restaurant is reminiscent of a Jersey Diner. We are moving to Asheville in January and we will become regulars at Five Points! read more

My spot for breakfast but really it's pre Sunday Church breakfast that I live for, no need for lunch afterwards. get whatever you like it will be good. read more

We were visiting and passed this spot and decided to grab some food. The portions were huge, came out quickly and all the ingredients were really fresh. We loved everything we ordered. It's also reasonably priced for the quality and had tons of parking. read more

After dropping a friend off at the hospital at 5 AM I looked for an all night diner and settled for a Waffle House. But upon arriving there, the messed up homeless people looked like the zombie apocalypse had arrived. So I found this place which opened at 6. I settled in to wait and was surprised that at 6 there were 5 others waiting. Now I know why. This is the perfect diner. Clean, efficient, amazing hash, eggs not dripping in grease but looking like something I would cook, and crisp dry healthy tasty home fries from fresh potatoes. Even the coffee was good. They serve breakfast all day so I'll be back again --but not so early the next time. read more

5 Points Restaurant - Best corned beef hash ever - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

First time at this amazingly run diner. Very small - and packed full of people. Operated like a well oiled machine and fascinating to witness. The food was great and the service was excellent. If you like diners, you'll love it here. read more

Pretty good place to eat. Can be loud and it is a relatively small place. Prices are lower than some places. Two people could eat here for somewhere between $20-40 easily. The food was good but I would not recommend the hashbrowns as they seem to be made of mashed potatoes. Service was good and meal came out quick. read more

It blows my mind that up until a few weeks ago, it had been like 10 years since I ate at 5 Points. I love me a little diner and was super pleased with my experience at 5 Points and can't wait to go back again. I actually went there because I was craving pancakes and assumed that it would be a great place to get a big ol' pile of pancakes hot off the griddle. But once I sat down at the bar overlooking the kitchen, I was mesmerized by the smell of greasy eggs and toast. I ended up ordering an egg and cheese sandwich with tomato, lettuce and mayo with a side of hashbrowns. I was not disappointed. Although this is such a simple food, oh boy, was I a happy person. The cheap american cheese melted on the over-hard egg on perfectly toasted bread....ohhhhhhhh yeah. That's the right stuff there. Nothing fancy, sure, but hits the spot! 5 Points is located on the corner of Broadway and Chestnut. The parking lot is small and kinda sucks, I highly recommend backing into a parking spot if possible so you can easily leave after your meal. It's really close to downtown and Whole Foods. The diner is pretty small but has a bunch of table seating against the window and back along the wall and there is a long bar with about 12 seats that overlooks the kitchen. This is the best spot to sit if you're alone or with just one other person because you can watch the chefs hard at work making meals. They're like a well-oiled machine, quick and efficient. The serving staff is friendly and quick as well. I had such a great experience here and am already looking forward to going back soon. read more

Local dive diner , wasn't expecting for the food to be that great considering it looks like a little hole in the wall. Boy was I impressed! Best country fried steak I've ever had, sausage links were amazing. Great place for breakfast , would highly recommend read more

Want a classic breakfast diner experience...then try this. Just good food and great, fast service!

This place just makes great food, everything I've had here has been fantastic. The Greek salad was fresh as can be and was quite possibly the best Greek salad I've ever had anywhere. They know what they're doing, go here and give them your business, you won't be disappointed. read more

Small little restaurant but definitely a good find. There was a wait when we all arrived but happened to be barstools available, so we all posted up there. Diner vibe with an open kitchen, cooks right in front of you. Those men had it down! Food was amazing, just what we were all needing. Four of us enjoyed breakfast, and one ordered the Philly. We left with our bellies full and smiles on our faces. Success. read more

I have never been disappointed when going to five points. I know the don't have drinks like mimosas or bloody Mary's and I always go for breakfast. They have great breakfast from pancakes and waffles to all the egg breakfast you can think of. All of it is tasty and you can watch them cook it in front of you if you sit at the bar. No microwave frozen food all fresh ingredients when they cook. Yum! read more

We went to get a bite to eat right before they closed. The reason for my four stars was because they were not terribly friendly. Very brisk and to the point. They were probably afraid I was going to keep them from ending their shift. I got their fried shrimp plate with three sides. I got the green beans, cottage cheese and peaches. I do not know what they did to those green beans but it was some of the best green beans I've ever had! Ditto for the shrimp. It was a very generous portion as well, and I got two meals out of it. Certainly makes me wish I lived closer! We will be back next time we're in town. read more

Home style cooking. Have chicken and dumplings like my mother made. Would definitely recommend.

Great spot for good ol' diner food. Good eats and friendly staff. It is a go-to for most locals.

I've been in the Asheville area for two years and have found a few very nice places to dine. 5 Points is one of the best here. Food is just right and they have the best french toast anywhere around. Also, thier staff doesn't change; they have the same people cooking, waitIng tables, checking out for the past two years while every other restaurant has had considerable turn over. Great place to eat, great people working there and the owner is not afraid to help out when needed. read more

Food was well prepared, filling and TASTY! Service was prompt. If you want a traditional diner experience in Asheville, THIS is the place for you!! read more

What a great experience! Went later than usual and expected to wait, especially since there were several people outside waiting. When the hostess told us five minutes and handed us the monitor, I was convinced it would more like 30 minutes. Seven minutes later we were seated and waited on. What a well run restaurant. The food was excellent and we plan to return for a Greek meal. Bravo to the lovely couple who own and run this place!!! read more

Absolutely excellent value in a town where that is becoming increasingly rare. Great service, classic diner food and vibe... Stop you will not regret it. read more

Just really good food for a great price. Always crowded but its a diner. Quick service and friendly.

Close to our rental so we stopped in for breakfast. Delicious breakfast sandwiches, omelets and the home fries! We ordered takeout and everything was fresh and hot. Reasonable prices for this area. read more

If you like slow service, surly waiters and soggy breakfast food, try Waffle House because this place will blow your mind. Despite the fact that it was busy, we got our food before i expected and it was delightful. The owner even took a minute to stop by and tell us the story of how they got started. Five stars. Eat here or you're a dummy. read more

Good food great service would def reccomend.could upgrade the inside and outside to look nicer but the food was good and that's all that matters right! read more

I absolutely loved how quickly I got my food! This diner was amazing! The dinner I tried was the 5 point combo, it came with French toast, eggs (I ordered mine scrambled with cheese) bacon and sausage patties. It was just enough food for New Year's Day brunch. This was a great portion for under $9. The French toast was fluffy with a slight crispy buttery outside. Very tasty combo. Thought the cheese was going to come inside the eggs instead of on top. Still great service and great food. The doorway was also a bit small but we were seated quickly so I didnt mind. They were busy and still able to get the food out quickly. Great little hidden gem in Asheville! read more

The best place for breakfast by far in Asheville, NC. The breakfast here is the type of breakfast that grandma made for you on a Saturday morning when you were a kid. The food, atmosphere, friendly staff and prices make this place stand out for me as the best breakfast in Asheville. A must! read more

This place gets a solid 4. Great little place. Definitely a local place. Im a sucker for locally owned businesses. The service at the bar is on point. My coffee mug had never gotten half full. The food is pretty good. You should check this place out if you have the hunger in your belly. The only thing I didnt like was the sausage patty. It was like a dry skinny hockey puck. The home fries and French toast were by far the highlights of the 5 Points menu item my server suggested. Im very please with my experience and will be back again. I would recommend this place. read more

Very nice ladies and very friendly place! Made us feel like family/friends. I highly recommend this southern great hospitality place to come and eat. read more

There is nothing fancy on the menu for breakfast. This is straight up a local diner with the standard breakfast fare. The service was excellent and although nothing fancy, the food is solid. The place was busy and in some cases looked like a short wait on a weekday morning around 9am, but tables seemed to turn fast. If you need a square breakfast and nice fast service, this is where you need to go. read more

Hey, I know times are hard, but charging a fee for a credit card purchase and not telling the customer is sleazy and underhanded. I had plenty of cash with me and would have used it. I used to like this place. Pity they made such an unfortunate decision. read more

Doesn't seem like many eat-it-'n-beat-it breakfast places in AVL with consistent reputations but this one seems popular with the locals. I can see why with fast, friendly service and hot breakfast. Definitely worth the effort to come here and will hardly put a dent in the wallet. read more

There eggs Benedict is good, I would go here every day because it is very good. I like the potatoes as well. :)

We happened upon this diner after long Sunday brunch lines forced us to consider more a more time sensitive option. They have a nice parking lot and easy to find spot. Menu was very much the epitome of every great breakfast imaginable all for less than $10. Our friends shared pancakes, omelettes, biscuits and gravy, gyro salads, and I settled on steak and eggs. After a long night in Asheville our tummies rumbled and this place delivered. Our food came out possibly faster than it took us to decide what to order. My wife had plenty of extra B&G to share. I opted for the ribeye, breakfast potatoes and over medium eggs. Meat was well seasoned and eggs and potatoes were the perfect compliment. I would eat this breakfast once a week if I could. Atmosphere was quiet and you could hear the boys on the flat top cranking out meals left and right. The service was attentive and accommodating. Great spot for conversation and big windows that give life to the new day. Can't wait to come back again to try other offerings. read more
