We found this place while traveling home from Cherokee after trying unsuccessfully to go to another place. It's nothing to look at outside, but we've learned to overlook outside appearances. Breakfast was delicious! Crisp bacon, eggs perfectly cooked, and good hash browns. The biscuits and gravy were not to die for, but we've given up on finding a place that makes homemade biscuits or real sawmill gravy. Good service, great prices. Right off 40, so it's a convenient stop. read more

People are nice. Clientele both stream in and out for a quick bite or sit and visit. Eggs are perfectly done. Tried Livermush fried crispy for the first time ever. It's fantastic! My husband was eating off my plate! Their unsweetened iced tea was perfect, crisp, clear, just the right bite. Sweet potato fries excellent. We want to come back for the yummy looking burgers sometime! Easy parking, nice wait staff, reasonable prices, big windows with lots of light, quick service, large portions. The omelet is huge. Northerner notes: I wasn't used to the leavening used in the omelet to make it so huge and impossibly fluffy more like a souffle. Also Cheese slices (or something very soft) used vs hard cheddar. Saved one star as windows are a little smudged/Flor has dirt tracked in. Tables, plates, glasses and silverware spotless. read more

We stopped here before our day of hiking, we just wanted to basic breakfast food. This was a little diner within a mile of where we were staying so we checked this place out. The woman at the counter was super friendly and treated everyone like regulars. I was prepared for a greasy spoon type diner, but this place was a little too greasy, but you know that meant it tasted good. read more

Service was really good and the coffee was fantastic. It's a little like a Waffle House, but faster service. The omelet I had was huge and tasty. The grits yummy. read more

I absolutely love finding hole in the wall places. After reading reviews and researching the menu I decided to give this place a try. Man, I am so glad I did. I got two eggs, bacon, sausage, corned beef hash and biscuits and gravy all for $8. Well worth it, and the food was delicious. read more

Local breakfast joint with pancakes about half an inch thick!! Freak food, cheap, fast. Good coffee.

Great, simple, diner breakfast! This place is an authentic diner and has a cool countertop that overlooks the grill. The coffee was good and the food was great. I had eggs, potatoes, and toast and my husband had the same plus meats and biscuits and gravy. We were both plenty full before our drive up the Blue Ridge Parkway and hike in Mt. Mitchell State Park. A great breakfast option in the area! read more

It's a diner! Exactly what you would expect. Yummy, no fuss food and diner coffee. I love me some diner French toast! (side-note: I had my own real Vermont maple syrup, although I didn't actually check to see if the diner used real or fake)The waitresses were extremely pleasant and a lot of the patrons appeared to be regulars, who were equally as friendly! Don't be put off by the restaurant in a gas station scene, the restaurant was very clean! Would definitely stop in again if we are in the area. read more

Though a resident of close by Black Mountain, earlier this week was my first visit to this shoppe. My wife and I had the Western omelet and French toast. The omelet was great. Fluffy eggs which are rare in restaurant omelets. Good "stuff" inside the eggs. And the French toast was just like Mother used to cook; not some gussied up fancy version. Just the way I like it. read more

Food is low tier Sysco stuff. Don't expect much quality. Ate there once and found that it is lower quality than Waffle house. Just go to Waffle House if you want a better breakfast. read more

We have been there the past two days for breakfast. The food is great, the service is awesome. We will be back

So this place is literally part of a gas station. But it was crowded at 7:30am on a Sunday morning. I had the basics - eggs, bacon and toast. It was good - not bad and not great. For those familiar with New Jersey road-side diners, this is just like that, just not as good. Go to Sunny Point Cafe in Asheville. read more

BIG FAN, and it's easy to miss this breakfast place. It remembers me of growing up in a small town and hanging with my Dad. Had the egg, bacon, and cheese wrap, and it was soo good. Hashbrowns had a great crunch. Top it off with some good coffee, and you are on your way to see the sights. read more

BEST. BREAKFAST. EVER. Friendly service, great food. Ordered eggs, hasbrowns, and livermush with a sode of pancakes. Everything was so delicious. This hole in the wall restaurant is a must go for breakfast lovers! read more

Breakfast Shoppe - Comfort Food Near Me - Swannanoa, North Carolina

I AM FULL...Looking for a different place to eat in Black Mountain and found this old fashioned diner Brkft place instead. Based on the Yelp reviews we decided to try it for dinner. If their dinner is any indication their breakfast must be the best around. We will be back for the a.m. My dinner choice of Phillysteak was near perfection and my husband's chicken tenders with grn beans and real mashed potatoes was even better than we expected. read more

I had modest expectations, but the service, the omelette, and the atmosphere blew them all away. Keep up the good work.

Awesome spot near our campsite for a quick, inexpensive breakfast! It's connected to a gas station and has a super small sign. At first we isn't even see it, but it's there and was worth driving in circles to find it. read more

A favorite spot for us all!! Lots of locals so you know it's good. Really good breakfast sandwiches and home fries with seasoning. We wanted to go back again but it was super crowded. Just beware that the biggest booth fits 4! read more

My folks and I used to go in here a lot. The food is good, and service as well. They do have specials going a lot. It's clean and a lot of locals go in there, always busy, and parking is good. read more

This is our "go to" place for breakfast in eastern Buncombe County. We had ham and cheese omelette and pancakes today. Both were great!

This Restaurant is actually attached to a Shell Station .. Fantastic Food, exceptional waitresses, and very clean. I came upon this years ago when we visited North Carolina. Nancy the owner is a sweetheart. Swannanoa is a beautiful area....I eat here often and it's always Top-Notch...friendly to all. read more

Stopped by for breakfast about a month ago and was totally blown away with everything about this place. A week later my wife and I decided to try something from the dinner menu and am I sooo glad we did. In my opinion this is the best hamburger you will find anywhere in town. Before this discovery we had to drive all the way to Sylva for the great burgers at Innovation Brewery. Keep up the good work.....we are now regulars. read more

We're from out of town and had to stop at Harley shop across the road. We ask the young lady there where to go for breakfast. This joint makes stick to your ribs homemade food served with a smile and how is your day going. It is a local place that gladly accepts tourists and loves to share what it good in the area. We had a late breakfast so we had this southwestern scramble which was very filling. You should also try the pork tenderloin and the meatloaf. Get wait staff who make you feel like you are home. You need to come get your grub on read more

This was a great way to start the day. Tasty comfort food fast! Everything was delicious. I had the French toast and husband had the philly omelette and we were stuffed!! read more

Breakfast Shoppe - Comfort Food Near Me - Swannanoa, North Carolina

We are from out of state and rely on Yelp for food places. This shoppe is not impressive from the outside, it connects with a gas station. Inside looks like your typical diner. However, it does deserve 5 stars on Yelp. Breakfast excellent. Fluffiest omelet and crispy hash browns. Coffee very good and always refilled. A gem! read more

My wife and I were traveling down 40 and starving when we saw the sign for the breakfast shoppe. We looked it up on yelp and decided to give it a try. We were skeptical because it was attached to a shell gas station. It was very, very good!! It's your typical hole in the wall grits and eggs diner but those guys back there in the kitchen have really gotten it down. Everything that came to our table was perfect. Crispy livermush, awesome French toast, crispy hash browns, hot grits, etc... We left stuffed and happy. What a surprise. Service was friendly as well. Great place to eat. read more

If I could give them 0 stars, I would. I visited this morning because they were the only restaurant in the area open on MLK day. I found a long black hair in my eggs and when I requested a new serving from the waitress she had the audacity to laugh and say "this aint IHOP,baby". They restrooms were appalling as well, only one was in working order and it smelled as though it might be the only working facility in a 30 mile radius. The coffee,which was arguably the best part of my meal, was intolerable as it was cold but at least it was recognizable. If I had the time to have this establishment shut down, I would, but alas I will just warn others and take my business elsewhere. read more
