    Biscuit & Gravy and  Full Breakfast
    C.J. E.

    Just got into biscuits and sausage gravy, friends showed me how to make homemade gravy and I was hooked. First time trying BH. It was busy, staff very friendly. I thought the lien moved fast and food came out in a reasonable time. Plenty of Seating inside and out. Kinda pricey for breakfast for two, but the biscuits are the size of a cats head.

    Biscuits & sausage gravy
    Jewel L.

    Great place! So many options on the menu. I had fried green tomatoes, poached eggs, and whatever else came on that dish. Yum! My friend had sausage gravy, bisques & grits...she loved it. And my other friend had the breakfast scramble. He loved his dish. And then there is the jam and butter bar. I had so much going on with my meal. I didn't even go to try anything. But there are some really interesting jams and I really wanna go back.

    Expensive and bland. Juice was pretty good, actual food, presentation was good, staff good, food accurate but bland. Trash not taken out frequently enough so flies accumulate outside. 2.5 stars.

    Biscuit Head is a pretty well-known place in Asheville, in fact so much so there are three locations. I went to the one in Hendersonville and it was just as awesome as I hoped it would be. Of course it's busy and it's small and it's loud and that's to be expected. I placed my order for the fried green tomato biscuit and waited for my order. I expected it to take a super long time but it wasn't too bad. My food was so good and so filling. Everyone knows I'm a cat lover so I loved the cat theme. Also super cute that the number they bring to your table has pictures of cats that have been rescued. This is an easy yes! I will definitely return the next time I'm in town.

    We ordered at the bar, and the server was so nice, I loved the table cards with cats on them. She suggested some a brown sugar or butter pecan latte. I went with pecan it was delicious. The place has cat images every where!! Because they make biscuits as big as a cat's head. The murals inside and out were delightful as well as all the framed pics of cats. It's casual, but cozy.

    Pulled Pork Biscuit (no jalapeño pimento, GF biscuit)
    Luca D.

    Service and ambiance worked out well as usual. I got the pulled pork biscuit, which is a biscuit (I chose GF) with pulled pork topped with a poached egg, bacon, and maple syrup, with the removal of jalapeño pimento cheese and the addition of home fries. The home fries were well-cooked but could have been a little saltier. The biscuit plate overall looked a mess, but the flavor made up for it. The sweetness from the syrup worked out better than I thought it would, but the egg was medium-poached and I thought it would be soft-poached. Overall, though, grateful for a not half bad pre-Thanksgiving brunch.

    Full Breakfast- eggs, bacon of the day (maple w/pepper & biscuit) Biscuit Sandwich (egg & cheese) grits w/ pimento cheese & Home Fries
    Krystal G.

    The food is really good & the staff has always been friendly when we have visited. Hats off to the cooks. The eggs are delicious, light, not over cooked & not greasy. There is a decent variety of home made jams, butter, coffees & drinks. The main attraction is the giant biscuits. They are fluffy & not dry. Parking in the area is difficult & tricky. If you don't get lucky enough to park right on the street, just do yourself a favor and pay the $5 to park in the lot behind the restaurant to avoid the frustration of finding parking. They are usually quite busy so it's not a place we have stayed too long to just relax and hang out. Recommend for everyone.

    After eating here for breakfast - the biscuits are huge * pork sausage gravy was spicy - took back for a plain gravy - which was a lot better - can't say I was impressed w the food - I really liked the set up - very nice dining area - that's where the stars are coming from - thanks again

    Filthy Animal
    Andrew B.

    The food was good. It's ALOT of biscuit make sure you get a tall glass of water! I'd go back to try something else when I'm in town again.

    GF biscuit and vegan gravy with grits and scrambled eggs.
    Dan J.

    Fun place for breakfast in Arden. Service was swift and efficient. The biscuits are wonderful. A definite stop in Asheville area for breakfast or brunch.

    This is the third Biscuit Head we have been to in Asheville and I think my favorite. The parking is a bit of a challenge but there is other places like street parking if you can't find anything in the lot in front. If you have not been to a Biscuit Head you can't get seating until you order and get a number. This is fine because you can find seating and like other locations it has some outdoor seating as well. I choose what I usually get which is the Filthy Animal, a fresh biscuit with egg, a fried chicken strip and bacon slices. This was covered in a shiitake gravy, a personal favorite gravy but they have other choices. They have a couple of different locally sourced coffees as well that are not grown here of course but roasted. The service is typically good but I thought they were even friendlier than the other locations as well. If you are are in Asheville then Biscuit Head is a must stop for breakfast.

    Biscuit with sausage gravy on the side
    Betty J.

    Very nice staff. The biscuit could have been warmer to melt the butter but the gravy was so good and had a little bit of a kick. Casual laid back brunch spot with fun attentive staff who always were cleaning everything. Great find, plus free stickers!

    Mimosa chicken biscuit on a regular biscuit that our friend got.
    Lisa M.

    First, I just want to start by saying Biscuit Head is 5/5 on flavor. I had to bump to 3 stars because I got glutened here. My husband ordered the gluten free vegan biscuit. I thought it looked better than usual and when I tried it I thought it tasted different (in a much better way) than when I'd had it before. Thankfully, I only took two bites. The next day we all went in together to sit for breakfast. My husband and I got the half breakfast plate with gluten free/vegan biscuits and our friend got the mimosa biscuit. Immediately, I noticed how different our biscuits looked from his and how my husband's gluten free biscuit from the day before looked nothing like what we now had and looked exactly like our friend's gluten biscuit. While I realize, biscuit head is not made for celiacs--it is a very big deal To give a customer who orders gluten free a regular gluten biscuit. With that being said, biscuit heads' biscuits are amazing (both the gluten free/vegan and the regular). Our friend loved his mimosa chicken biscuit and we ate here multiple times during our stay. I would still recommend them but be very cautious and double check if you are gluten free.

Since we got there so early, we had ordered from their cafe and their lattes were nice to sip on while walking through their edible garden! I really liked our server, a ginger man, very kind and quirky and it felt personable which I enjoy, he told us about being a Michelin recommended and I'm glad to have experienced it! For starter, I got the smoked salmon hash, and that was filling enough and very fresh! I had ordered their Philly cheese steak with auju and it was sooooo filling, I love a hearty breakfast, but I could only finish one half. I ordered their local sausage patty and it was nice and Smokey and savory! The grits were chunky and cheesy which I really enjoyed, everything was great! Love it! My partner ordered a classic breakfast and their maple bacon is sooooooooo good, I told him he needed to learn to make it because I want more! Their fruits seemed home grown and I really appreciate their decor of sexy veggies on the way! Such a cool place to eat and hang out!

Cracker Barrel would have been a step up. Haven't been to this hipster, that has turned into more of a tourist trap breakfast cafe in years and probably won't go back anytime soon. Salad was basically a lettuce mix with nothing else? Added shrimp was ok. I guess a restaurant can cruise on a reputation that they once had for awhile(?) until folks realize it's just not that same restaurant anymore. Still a cute venue. Bottom line an overpriced mediocre hospital cafeteria meal that could have been a good meal with a little bit of TLC (tender loving care)...

Biltmore Village is pretty sleepy so didn't see many other options to eat besides this, but it was pretty good. We had a 7:30pm Sunday reservation and asked if we could sit on the patio since it was a gorgeous night. We had to wait about 5-10 min for a patio table, but no biggie. The service was great and our waiter was very attentive. And the food came out pretty fast as well. After ordering some wine we started with a cup of gazpacho. My husband really liked it, but i found it a little spicy. However, I really enjoyed the rest of our meal which was a meat and cheese app and pecan crusted trout. My husband and I split both and cleaned our plates. While dessert was tempting we had eaten a lot of candy on our drive to Asheville so decided to skip it. Overall, it was a nice first casual meal and we didn't even have to get dressed up which was nice after a long car ride. It looks like they have a great brunch too so we may be back this week to check it out!

    I was in town for a massive gathering of beer nerds for the homebrewers convention and needed a…read moresolid breakfast to reset my system after days of heavy tasting. I found Chestnut on Yelp and decided to wander in. The space has this elevated modern rustic vibe with a southern twist and a little bit of sass. They even sell shirts that say neither hoity nor toity, which cracked me up. Honestly, the atmosphere was great, but our waitress was the real star. She was absolutely phenomenal and looked after us perfectly. My palate was pretty fried, so I started with a Bloody Mary to wake up. Truth be told, it was just okay. The house mix had an odd flavor that nobody at the table could quite identify, and it seriously lacked spice. It was just kinda bland. I noticed a bottle of Firewalker hot sauce on the table, and splashing that in helped a little bit. After that, I transitioned to a mimosa. You really cannot mess up a mimosa too much, and it was a solid, reliable second drink. For the main event, I ordered the southern chicken and waffles. This came with a fried chicken breast sitting on golden malted waffles, smothered in sausage gravy, and drizzled with chipotle honey. It was a really great dish. The kitchen did a solid job with the fry on the chicken, and the gravy had a nice flavor. It leaned a little on the sweet side because of the honey, but it was not totally overdone. The real sleeper hit of the morning, though, was the side of cheesy grits. Those grits were absolute heaven. They were incredibly creamy and perfectly seasoned. If you go, you have to order them. Chestnut is in a great location, and despite the weak Bloody Mary, it was a stellar visit.

    Worth Planning Your Asheville Trip Around…read more As a Bay Area foodie, navigating around San Francisco's incredible restaurant scene taught me to appreciate thoughtful cooking, quality ingredients, and genuine hospitality. Chestnut had been on my Asheville dining list long before I arrived, and after spending several days exploring Boone, Blowing Rock, and the Blue Ridge Mountains, I made it my dinner splurge before heading home. It absolutely delivered. A quick tip: skip the hunt for street parking and head straight to the garage across the street. The first hour is free, and downtown Asheville can be congested with both vehicle and foot traffic. I arrived around 5:30 without a reservation and was warmly greeted by the hostess, who offered me a table or a seat at the bar. Asheville was surprisingly hot and humid compared to the cool mountain weather I'd been enjoying, so the air-conditioned dining room was an easy choice over the sidewalk patio. The restaurant itself is beautiful. Fresh flowers, warm lighting, elegant stone countertops, comfortable booths, tables, and bar seating create an atmosphere that feels polished without being stuffy. What stood out most was the mix of guests. There were locals greeting staff by name, couples enjoying date night, families with children, and older guests gathering with friends. It felt welcoming and comfortable for everyone. As a solo diner, the bar was the perfect choice. I enjoyed all the energy of the restaurant while still having a peaceful dining experience. I started with a glass of Brut Rosé from Spain. Crisp, refreshing, and beautifully balanced, it was the perfect way to settle in after a warm afternoon. Then came the Lobster Bisque. As someone who has made lobster bisque from scratch, I know the work that goes into creating a great one. Chestnut's version, made with Oak & Grist Reserve Cream and finished with fresh chives, was outstanding. Rich, silky, velvety, and loaded with tender pieces of lobster. If I'm being incredibly picky, I would have enjoyed just a touch more sherry, but that's purely personal preference. The smaller serving vessel kept the bisque hot from first spoonful to last, which I appreciated. My only complaint was that I wanted a larger serving because it was that good. For my entrée, I ordered the 4-ounce Petite Filet. The steak arrived cooked a perfect medium rare with excellent flavor and texture. It was served with butter-whipped mashed potatoes, haricot verts, a crisp potato gaufrette, red wine demi-glace, and chive butter. Every component was thoughtfully prepared. The demi-glace added richness without overwhelming the beef, while the potato gaufrette provided a delicate crunch. My only minor critique was that the plate could have been served a bit hotter, but the quality of the food more than made up for it. One of the highlights of the evening was the service. Taylor, part of the management team, was personable, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. After my sparkling wine, he suggested a half-glass pour of Willamette Valley Pinot Noir since I was driving. Excellent recommendation. The wine was elegant, earthy, and beautifully balanced, pairing perfectly with the filet. As the evening progressed, the restaurant filled quickly. Watching the staff greet regulars by name and efficiently manage the growing crowd spoke volumes about how well-run the restaurant is. You could tell many guests were repeat customers, which is always a good sign. After dinner, I attempted to walk off my meal through downtown Asheville, but the summer heat quickly convinced me to head back to my hotel. I left full, happy, and already thinking about that lobster bisque. For a Bay Area foodie who plans entire trips around memorable meals, Chestnut exceeded expectations. Great food, thoughtful service, an inviting atmosphere, and a dining experience that felt special without trying too hard. If you're visiting Asheville, put Chestnut on your list. Life is too short for mediocre meals, and this one is worth making time for.
