Food was great - no constructive criticisms at all - Dwight who appeared to be the manager on duty was patient and courteous with me as a first time visitor. For a newbie , I should mention the location is a little hard to find- it's a renovated apartment space at the street address listed with only signage on the cafe itself ; don't let this dissuade you- it's worth the search - highly recommended! read more

There several locations throughout Asheville. But this one is easier to get in and out of. Located in a medical office building there is parking available right outside. Today we tried the classic biscuit sandwich - cat head biscuit with an egg and cheese. It was phenomenal- also very big! For a side we choose the cheesy grits. They were also very tasty. They offer several homemade jams and butters to top off your biscuits- which is a nice added bonus. The price was moderate and the staff welcoming. Today there wasn't a line- but sometimes there is a wait. The ambiance is casual some tables inside and out. read more

Comfortably tucked away breakfast spot that delivers! Boy, does it ever! We loved our visit to Biscuit Head. Not knowing what we were in for, we were blown away! From environment, to menu selections, service, speed of being seated and served, ambiance, and quarkiness, everything was spot on making for an awesome Saturday brunch! Both dishes we ordered were ample in size, made to perfection, and super tasty. Service was a buzz. Everyone was jumping in to help where they could, and everyone was friendly too. We absolutely loved our brunch at Biscuit Head. If anywhere in the general vicinity of Asheville again we will turn hard Left or Right to get to another one of these places!! No doubt!! read more

This spot had a line out the door, but they were very efficient and really had their system down. You order at the counter and they let you know where to sit. Then you bring your number to your spot and they bring your food and drinks to you once everything is ready. The lavender honey iced latte was great! The fried green tomato biscuit was so so good. It was not what I expected it to look like, but it was one of the best breakfast items I've ever had! read more

Some of the best restaurants execute the simplest items so well. That's what Biscuit Head does - flaky biscuits where you can enjoy the buttery flavor and a variety of jams to enhance it. Hidden in Doctors Park behind Wink Spa, walk in the door, grab a menu, and order at the counter. The staff will assign you a table if you're dining in. Check out the jam and butter bar near the soda machine - so many choices! The biscuits were very light and buttery. They were great plain, with jam, or with egg and cheese. The line was short when we arrived a little after 8:30 on a Saturday morning. By the time we left at 9:30 the line was long so get here early. If you're seeking a great biscuit that's worth the wait run to Biscuit Head! read more

It's been months and I'm still thinking about these biscuits and gravy... On our last day in NC, we stopped by Biscuit Head to try biscuits and gravy to go. The ordering process online was super easy, and their text updates made it easy to know when our order was ready. I'm grateful for the two sided line-- one for dine in and one for takeout-- so I didn't have to wait in the fairly long dine in line. Pickup was a breeze, but I will say there wasn't a ton of seating outside. We were on our way to the airport, so it would've been nice to have a place to sit and munch before we had to leave. The biscuit was SO tasty; super buttery and flaky. But the star of the show? That gravy. Not too soupy but not solid, had a good amount of seasoning, but didn't overpower the buttery biscuit. SO yummy. I don't think there's anything quite like it on the west coast. I'll be thinking about this place for a while. read more

Incredible food, great vibes. I got the Filthy Animal, then saw the jam bar and went back to order an extra biscuit to try them all. There's about 14 other things in the menu I also could have tried and loved. One of the best breakfasts I've had in a while, I can see what the hype is all about! read more

Biscuit Head - Filthy Animal, biscuit, some samples from the jam bar - Cafes Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Come hungry...then realize you didn't actually need to worry! The mimosa fried chicken looked intimidating at first. It's a mountain of food, but surprisingly it didn't feel heavy. The coleslaw helped balance things out with a nice refreshing crunch. The mimosa flavor on the chicken was very subtle though, almost hard to notice. The Filthy Animal was great and the gravy was fantastic. Honestly though, the smaller things stole the show. The iced bacon maple latte was excellent and the jam bar is such a fun touch. Peach rosemary was our favorite. Watch out for the chili mango jam. It has a real spicy kick in the best way. Even the bottled hot sauces were unique and worth trying. Came on a weekday morning and was seated immediately. Food came out in about five minutes and there was plenty of parking. Weekends might be a different story. read more

I wanted to like the place more than I actually did. I ordered the biscuit + special bacon and my husband got the Fried Green Tomato Biscuit dish. He really enjoyed his fried green tomato and thought that made the dish. My bacon was pretty good but the biscuit was just okay. They have a butter and jam station where you can try different samplings. However, the butter was rock hard and I couldn't get any out. And the paper containers that you put the sample jams in was utterly small so trying to get the jams in the small cups to bring to your table was just a sticky mess. I actually felt that part ruined it for me. read more

It was ok. Service was good and atmosphere as well but I didn't really think the food had much flavor. I did enjoy the coffee though.

Biscuit Head is a local restaurant with three locations in the Asheville area. We recently visited the South Asheville location on Hendersonville Rd. The parking lot is a little wonky, but it is well marked for patrons who actually read and follow the signs. The restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating with funky decor centered around cats and southern sayings. The menu offers southern fare and is known for its cathead biscuits. There is a bar with butters, jams and jellies. A biscuit is a necessary purchase so you can sample the variety of delicious toppings. The service is fantastic with helpful people bustling around the building. The items seem a bit pricey, but they do use local products and vendors which is more costly but better in so many ways. read more

Love love this place!! When anywhere near Asheville for breakfast hours mandatory to stop in. Their house made jellies/jams and butters and creative dishes are a true treat. The pimento grits were a standout and of course the biscuits are a meal in itself. Worth the wait if you are hungry!! read more

Honestly, I was skeptical that was a tourist place. Very pleasant surprise! Not far from our downtown hotel, this very local gem was a delightful find. Situated in a doctor's office area, it looks it has been there a long time. Fortunately, on a Thursday morning around 10am, we only had to wait for 1 table to vacate before we could place our order. The extra time was appreciated so we could peruse the menu. Hubby choose the egg , Pimento cheese scramble, I opted for a couple of scrambled eggs with one of the oversized biscuits. Although tempted by the gluten free/vegan option, I wanted to try the real deal. Tiny dining area with chairs and tables crunched together . Loved the condiment bar with assortment of sweet and savory biscuit toppings. Latte and coffee with free refills were good. No upcharge for non dairy milk alternatives. Special order, no problem and portions are huge! A must try while in town! read more

Service 5 stars, Jam Bar 5 stars, but the rest of the food was subpar! Eilyse was extremely friendly, personable, and professional. She had a great personality! I ordered the Full Breakfast w/ scrambled eggs, bacon, home fries, a biscuit and Mexican Chocolate Bacon. I was disappointed with the eggs and the Mexican Chocolate bacon, which was on their Special's board, tasted basically like bacon with chocolate syrup on it. Also, the bacon was all curled up, which I didn't like. I prefer my bacon in flat strips, not in these bacon balls that they served. The home fries were seasoned perfectly. They were delicious and the biscuit was pretty good too. My partner ordered the strawberry and banana pancakes that were on special. She sent back her first order because the whipped cream had melted all over the pancakes and it just did not look appetizing. However, when they remade the pancakes, they brought them back with no fresh strawberry slices like they had originally came out the first time. Apparently, they ran out of fresh strawberries. She did like her pancakes. They did have strawberries in the batter which you could taste. I ordered an orange cherry spiced mimosa. I didn't taste any cherry but what's not to like about a mimosa. The star of the show was definitely the Jam Bar. I got samples of a lot of different jams and most were amazing. I later purchased the Sweet Potato Butter which was fantastic. They do sell each of the jams so that's a win. As we were ordering our food, we got to see other people's food come out. The biscuits are huge and fluffy! I must say everything on a biscuit looked spectacular, especially that Mimosa Chicken biscuit. I will probably visit again and just get a couple of biscuits with the peach rosemary jam and sweet potato butter. Overall, it was okay. Oh BTW, the place is very small. There is a tiny little area right inside the door that no more than 6-8 people can wait. Also, they won't take your order if you don't have a place to sit, which could be awhile because there is not a lot of tables. They really should consider limiting table time to 1.5 hours because it is so tight. The cashier mentioned one table being occupied for 3 hours! read more

What's not to love? All I wanted was: a biscuit, pimento cheese, and the sriracha maple sausage. Omg. Turned it into a sandwich (is it still a sandwich if you eat it with a fork and knife??) The sausage and biscuit were fantastic. My only wish is they had a spicy pimento cheese... add some jalapeño... yum... it was still very good though. I like how they make sure you are able to get a seat by giving you a number before you take a seat. And oh so subtly suggest to finished parties "are y'all done?" as a way of saying ok now get out and give this table to someone else lol. PS speaking of parties, they do ask how many are in your party and the solo dude in front of me in line couldn't understand what they meant. He kept saying but "I'm not with a party!" It was kinda funny. read more

First timers here. We tried the Filthy Animal and the classic sandwich with country ham. Both sandwiches were delicious! We especially loved trying the different flavors of jam.

Can't miss breakfast spot in Asheville. We've been a couple of times and you might run into a line out of the door or not. There's not a lot of seating but they're so efficient with the cooking and getting your food out quick. I'm so happy that there biscuits are actually good (I've been to other places with biscuit in the name and it was dry and crumbly). The bacon and sausage are excellent. My go to is the southern scramble plate which comes with scrambled eggs mixed with caramelized onions, tomorrows, and potatoes and a biscuit. I also enjoy the lattes. Last time We came, it was for a late breakfast but one person had the kale salad. It looked good and also had artichokes on top. Don't skip Biscuit Head! read more

Stopped here for breakfast after finding our first choice was closed due to the recent disaster and Biscuit Head was a fantastic discovery. We each ordered something different, but each included a biscuit of some sort. Between the four of us, we had the Fried Tomato Biscuit, a Biscuit with Sausage Gravy, the Asheville Benedict, and the Full Breakfast with two over easy eggs, fried green tomatoes, bacon, and a cat head biscuit. The only person who wasn't totally in love with her meal was the one with the fried tomato biscuit (she said it wasn't hot enough), but the rest of us really enjoyed our meals. I was totally impressed by their butter and jam bar with all the flavored butters and different delicious jams. There were so many unique flavors of jam; sour cherry, rosemary peach, chai sweet potato, apple pie, and mango chili along with the regular berry and strawberry. What a wonderful treat to be able to try each one! Everyone who worked there was friendly and welcoming, portions were generous, and food was amazing! Wish we had something like this back home! read more

My family and I were visiting the Biltmore early in the morning and needed a place to grab breakfast beforehand. I saw that Biscuit Head opened at 8:00am and other Yelpers said to make sure to arrive right when they open. We arrived at 7:55am and there was a line of people waiting to get seated inside. It's a bit hidden from the since the entrance doesn't face the main road but we were able to find it with the GPS. I was surprised how busy it was even on a Monday morning. It definitely seems like a local spot. You order at the counter and the staff brings your food over to your table. I had the Southern Scramble and it was delicious! I really liked trying all of the homemade jams and my mom even bought a jar of the Berry Bomb to bring home. Highly recommend stopping in if you are in the area! read more

Crazy busy on the weekends after 9am so get there early or expect to be in line for 30 minutes before ordering at the counter. Pro tip: order it for takeout, it's ready in 10 minutes and you can eat it in your car. The restaurant is small and cramped anyways so you're not missing much. Biscuits are heaven and they give you to-go cups for the Jam & Butter self-serve bar. Reasonable prices and kind staff. Check it out! read more

This restaurant was nestled in the cutest business park. The service was quick and all of the food was fresh. While the line was outside the door, there was a regular rhythm to the service. There is cute cat decor all over the place, and while the rest of the environment was relatively simple, the space was meant to handle business! We enjoyed the mimosa fried chicken and biscuit with sweet potato butter (I bet you didn't know you needed that) and the country ham biscuit. Both were delightful and the biscuit was thick, fluffy, and out of this world. I also enjoyed a side of pimento grits and freshly squeezed orange juice. This is a definite stop if you are traveling through! read more

Wowza! Biscuit Head is a must visit when in Asheville! My husband and I were looking for a hearty breakfast and this place hit the spot. We shared a breakfast scramble and fried green tomato biscuit. The scramble had pimento cheese mixed in and it was the combination I never knew that I needed. The friend green tomatoes were delicious and we quickly finished the plate. They also have a lot of fun latte flavors! We got the s'mores and Nutella mocha! The service was fast and it was very homey and comfortable on the inside! read more

It is a mix of feelings. Let's break it down. Pros: 1. Variety on the menu. Everyone should be able to find something. 2. They are fast so table turnover. The service is super nice. 3. The basic flavors are good. Cons: 1. The biscuits are cold by the time I get them. The butter is freezer hard and won't melt :( 2. The bacon is not cooked with consistency... some uncooked and fatty .. some overcooked and crispy. 3. The jam bar is hard to manuever and tives the vibe of sloppy and unsanitary. read more

I decided to try Biscuit Head and placed an online order. It said estimated 15-20 minutes for the order so I placed it before I left the house but it was ready in 5 minutes so I wish I hadn't ordered it ahead of time because my order sat for a while. It was still warm but it definitely steamed a bit in the container. The biscuit sandwich was good but was really hard to eat, it was big and hard to pick up, and the biscuit crumbled into pieces. read more

I didn't have a pleasant experience as a first-time customer. I asked to be seated outside, and I was. However, a larger party came in while I was waiting on my food and they asked the manager to move me so they could have my outside table. The manager did ask me to move after I was already seated and had ordered...I cannot believe I was asked to relocate inside after I had asked to be outside and their staff seated me. The only thing they offered me was some free donuts or a $3 off coupon on a return visit. I am not local and was traveling. This seems unacceptable to treat your customers in this way, my whole meal should have been comped due to me having to move to a table inside, I was in shock! This is not good customer service or how a customer should be treated. I will not be back! read more

Service and ambiance stood out because I was served after not even one minute of sitting down. I got the Southern Scramble (consisting of tomato and potato) without pimento cheese and with the addition of sriracha maple sausage, alongside a GF biscuit with apple pie jam. The scramble seriously tasted southern and had phenomenal flavors. The apple pie jam worked out super well with the biscuit. Overall, this is what I call southern comfort food. read more

I was really disappointed by this place after all the reviews. No one in my group finished their meal. The biscuits were pretty good plain, but I've had better - and for none of the other items in the dishes to stand out the biscuits weren't strong enough to make it worth it. The little jam and butter selection is fun, but again, none of the ones we tried really stood out. A couple were just gross. The pimento cheese on the filthy animal was more mayo than what you normally get with pimento. My friend said his red eye gravy tasted like the bottom of a burnt coffee pot. A lot of what we had here was either bland or offensive. The service was friendly though, and I liked my iced chai. read more

The ambience, the presentation of the food, the efficiency of how they do things are all absolutely fantastic. A perfect hole in the wall good old biscuit shop. Where they fell short was only the food itself. The pimento cheese grits were fantastic. The mimosa chicken biscuit was less than desired. The chicken felt like it had been cooked about an hour ago was very crispy, dry and very chewy. The poached egg somehow actually seemed like it had been sitting for a while and the topping they put on made the whole sandwich seem a little too cold. The biscuit itself was room temperature so not fresh out of an oven or anything. I am thinking this is possibly a one off but due to how fast they are, which was about two minutes from the time I sat down, they pre-make a lot of their stuff. Still give it a try for the experience. read more
