We came in for a late night dinner (8:30) and I couldn't have imagined a better place to dine and rest after traveling all day. The atmosphere was welcoming and cozy, while still being very modern. Our server was very charming and helpful - especially with my food allergies. The food was delicious and we were surprised by a nice amuse bouche (romanesco salsa on a homemade tortilla chip) Warning: on the pecan crusted trout the ginger sweet potatoes were VERY ginger-y. Delicious, but make sure you love ginger before ordering! read more

This is a great neighborhood restaurant with solid brunch options. Their dinner menu also looked promising. We ended up loving this spot so much that we visited it twice during our stay. It's conveniently located just down the street from Biltmore, with easy parking compared to downtown Asheville. Ben, our server on the first visit, was incredibly welcoming and friendly, setting the tone for a great experience. I initially made a reservation, but after visiting twice, I don't think it's necessary for a weekday lunch. I ordered the house-made corned beef hash--great portion size and overall solid flavor. A few pieces were a bit burnt, but it didn't take away too much from the dish. Their drip coffee was great, bold and flavorful. read more

What an amazing experience at Corner Kitchen! We walked in without reservations and asked for a table for two and were promptly seated in the Chef's Corner, which I might argue is the best place to sit! Our server Alex was phenomenal, making great recommendations, answering our questions thoughtfully and honestly and taking excellent care of us from start to finish. We devoured the crab cake appetiser, a half portion of scallops over risotto and shrimp and grits. We took his suggestion and had bread pudding (so moist and delicious) and he made us two night watch after dinner drinks (do not miss this special drink). I LOVED the teamwork in the restaurants. Titles did not matter. The chef, Megan, was personable, taking plates to tables herself while overseeing the very capable kitchen. The hostess came by to refill glasses, check in, and ensure we were happy. Everyone was all smiles, seemed to love their work and it was a well-oiled machine. Super impressed and will definitely visit on future stops to Asheville! read more

Food and service were both good , great little place surrounded by tiny boutique shops . We booked in advance just incase it was busy, but there was plenty of sitting inside , outside and upstairs. Would surly recommend trying it , loved the Boozy French toast. read more

The staff were ALL so helpful when I stopped in w/o a reservation. I had a nice table on the patio, an excellent chenin blanc and a delicious bourbon bread pudding. Although I cannot review the other dishes, what I saw & heard from diners was all positive. Considering that the Village area is still in recovery, this is quite a GEM there. My dessert was huge & perfect, I rarely find such an excellent chenin blanc and all in all it was the perfect top-off to a spring evening read more

Corner Kitchen - Bourbon Bread Pudding w/ icecream & raspberry compote & pecans - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Corner Kitchen has been a special dining location for my family for years. The staff is always incredibly personable, friendly and helpful. The quality of the food is outstanding. The dishes are delicious. There is a focus on working with local vendors. The atmosphere is cozy and warm. There are 2 levels of dining space and a cute outdoor area. Make sure to visit the restroom where some snarky signs are sure to make you smile! When Hurricane Helene hit, Biltmore Village (where Corner Kitchen resides) was heavily business. Sadly, there are several businesses who haven't reopened and many who never will. Being an lifelong Asheville resident, seeing the damage brought by the storm and flooding has been heartbreaking. I was so excited to see Corner Kitchen opened back I highly recommend dining at Corner Kitchen. The menu has a great mix of sweet and savory. The brunch items are our favorites! Make sure to get a biscuit and jam no matter what you order! read more

Corner Kitchen - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Corner Kitchen is in Biltmore Village that was devastated by Helene, but you wouldn't know it. This elite restaurant is in an original house from the Vanderbilt purchase. They deliver like a well oiled machine. Staff was super friendly, knowledgeable of it's history and just fun to be around. It's a limited menu and changes frequently so look online at their website to see what's new. We had the shrimp and grits with a red eye gravy and the pork shank osso bucco. It was served over a creamy polenta and the pork was pull apart tender. We normally don't eat at fancy places but this experience was well worth it. Everything was fantastic. Do make a reservation to ensure you can get in. They were completely full and held to reservation time. Next time in Asheville area we'll definitely be back! read more

I really went back-and-forth between a three and a four but ultimately landed on a four star rating for the corner kitchen. Overall, the place is great... Really cool vibe and layout, super friendly staff, and well composed dishes. Our server was fantastic and did a great job taking care of us all night. We tried several appetizers and all of them were tasty, especially the fried oysters, which I highly recommend. The star of the meal for me was the crab and corn chowder. It was excellent! The reason I got hung up on the rating was due to a couple of things. One person in our group ordered the chicken and it came out tepid. It was cooked thoroughly and very flavorful, but I guess it just got cold waiting for the rest of the dishes to be ready. The other thing was the trout. We were told this was their signature dish and several people in our party ordered it I will say the composition was well thought out, and the green beans cooked perfectly for me, but the trout was simply overcooked. It is such a delicate fish so when you crust it and you cook it or leave it under a warming lamp too long, the fish can get dry, and mine was clearly overcooked. I was also not a huge fan of the crusting on the fish. It did not add a textural element as intended, and really just got muddy with the mushy texture of the overcooked fish. The sweet potatoes were also not my favorite. I am not sure of the flavor, but there was something floral in the sweet potato mash. That was just a bit offputting for me a couple of my companions shared similar thoughts on the fish. For this to have been their signature dish, I had higher expectations, which is why I was leaning heavily towards a three. However, everything else was really great and obviously they have a consistent track record of great food given their other ratings here on yelp. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place, but I would likely not order the trout again if I have a chance to come back. read more

I was so delighted to learn one of my favorite spots in Asheville had re-opened and it did not disappoint. Love the redesign of the host stand and bar addition. So clean, roomy and aesthetically pleasing. My daughter and I had the turkey croissant with shaved pear and the lavender marinated chicken salad. Truly amazing and so tasty. Oh and did I mention the fries - over the top. So glad to have them back open! Last but not least my favorite (craved it for a year) the PEA salad is so flavorful and refreshing! read more

Service outstanding and cozy setting. That plus delicious food offerings made Corner Kitchen a winner for us.

We had brunch here for my birthday with my fiance and in-laws. MIL and I had the huevos rancheros and Biltmore basic with mimosas and loved every bite, especially the potatoes!!!! My fiance and his dad had the corned beef hash and biscuits & gravy and said they were good. They absolutely loved the stuffed tater tots though! The atmosphere and decor were so fun and the service was absolutely superb. We loved the cozy feeling of being in a historic home. We also felt that the prices were very fair, especially the $10 mimosas! Oh and the crème brûlée was to die for. We can't wait to come back next time we are in town! read more

This restaurant was sooo good. Best Reuben I think I have ever had! Definitely try their mimosas, wonderful! It was our anniversary, and although we did not partake, they offered us dessert on them. Wonderful experience! read more

Service and ambiance was successful as there was a 15-minute wait. I got the house-made corned beef hash with potatoes, horseradish aioli, chives, two poached eggs, and GF toast. The toast was actually kind of soft but the jam gave it flavor. The hash had great flavors, but the poaching of the eggs was inconsistent. They were both intended to be medium-poached but one was soft poached and the other was hard-poached. Still, a delicious brunch overall. read more

This is not a handicapped place! The bathrooms are up a steep set of stairs! No way I could get up them. The bartender, Scott, was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Corner Kitchen - Dark and white chocolate muffin! Davey's special of the day. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

From start to finish, the customer service was excellent, and the music was great. Old classic music loud enough to enjoy but low enough to still hear yourself think and talk with the ones you are eating with. Zack was an excellent server and checked on us often enough. I ordered a cranberry mimosa, which was bigger than I expected for the price, and was happy about it. Then we shared a pastry of the day which was peach with a lemon glaze on top. The layers were good on the pastry and reminded us of peach cobbler with the filling. Ordered Biltmore Basic. The grits were a little too cheesy for me and bacon had a lot of fat on it. Both were still edible though. Liked the eggs and biscuit with mixed berry jam. My fiancé ordered the mango Bellini. They had to substitute the mango puree for triple sec because there was no more puree but overall still tasted good. He ordered the chicken and waffles. Chicken could use a tiny bit more seasoning but paired with the gravy it was really good so makes sense why the chicken wasn't super flavorful - had to balance everything out. Waffle was nice and soft, and the syrup was good with everything, too. We look forward to coming back again. Great restaurant! Thank y'all so much read more

What excellent food, service and ambiance. Had to wait a while but well worth it. We even sat at the bar and Greg shared stories, talked about the flood and the major remodel. Wife had the turkey club and i the Biltmore Special! All were fresh, hot and so very tasty! The grits were out of this world. Great place that has now reopened after the flood. U will not regret the visit for brunch or dinner here. I guarantee it! read more

We were visiting Asheville and came across this gem! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with smiles and friendliness. We came at a busy time with a party of 13 and we got our tables in about 30 minutes. I was very impressed. Every staff member we encounter was amazing! Everyone was so kind, and knowledgeable, and answered every question we had. I am so glad we found this restaurant in our short trip to this beautiful city. The food and customer service is top notch. If you are in the area it is a must have! Thank you for making our experience unforgettable!

Amazing brunch spot at Biltmore Village. I got the Pimp Chick, which is a fried chicken sandwich with pimento cheese and bacon. I paired it with a side of fries that were crispy and flavorful!

My friend and I had an absolutely wonderful lunch here. I can't say enough good things about our experience. I would give it 10 stars if it was possible. Josh was our waiter and he is by far the best waiter I've ever had in any restaurant anywhere. He was funny, attentive and made great recommendations . He made sure we were happy with our food choices and checked on us often. We got to meet the manager/owner also and he was just as friendly and helpful.

Our first time back since the hurricane hit. So glad that this wonderful establishment has reopened. The ambiance is quaint, cozy, and comfortable. We had a reservation and were seated right away. Service was excellent all evening long (shout out to our lovely server, Jonathan, who was knowledgeable, responsive, and helpful). For food we decided to go the small plates sharing route. Nice surprise of a delightful amuse-bouche. Of course we started with the soup which was solid (admittedly it did not knock our socks off like the first time we were here and it was simply corn chowder). Surprisingly, we enjoyed the rest of what we ordered more. Brussels sprouts, ordered extra crispy absolutely delicious. Crab cake super yummy and amply sized. The Mushroom Wellington was unique, savory with a hint of sweetness. The scallops were divine as were the oysters. We were full and didn't have room for dessert this time around. Highly recommend this place. I would've given it 4.5 star if I could. You will not be disappointed. read more

Stumbled upon Corner Kitchen while in Asheville for one night while stopping on our way to Nashville. What a delightful dining experience we had! Arrived for our reservation a little early, and we waited on the covered porch while enjoying some drinks. Once seated & after ordering, we were provided with a complimentary amuse bouche (one bite starter), which was a potato chip with chipotle sauce, pico de gallo & queso fresco. A delicious one bite which prepped us for our meal. We ordered the Cacio e Pepe & fried green tomatoes for apps, both were OUTSTANDING! Our entrees were the trout & chicken, again, just absolutely delicious bites. Probably one of the best meals I've enjoyed in my life. Would 100% recommend to anyone visiting Asheville to eat here. The staff was warm, friendly & courteous! Only one small complaint, the food came out slow, which the staff did regularly communicate about and apologize for. Just working the out kinks as they are just reopening after being closed from Hurricane Helene last fall. Regardless, my husband & I had a wonderful meal! Will be back! read more

An Unforgettable New Year's Eve at Corner Kitchen We celebrated New Year's Eve with a party of 7 at Corner Kitchen and it was a truly exceptional experience from start to finish. Our server John deserves special recognition - he was an absolute sweetheart and incredibly attentive throughout the entire evening. His warm and professional service made our special night even more memorable. We were fortunate to be seated at a long table right in front of the open kitchen, which turned out to be one of the best seats in the house. Watching the 2 chefs and their assistant work in perfect harmony was quite a show - you could tell they genuinely love what they do, drama-free, just pure culinary passion. It was inspiring to see them create with such dedication on such an important night. The food lived up to everything else: the trout was perfectly prepared, the chicken was delicious, and the lemon crème brûlée was the perfect ending to an extraordinary dinner. Every dish showcased the quality and care they put into their cuisine. For those visiting Asheville: Corner Kitchen is a must-stop. And beyond the excellent food and service, supporting Biltmore Village in its recovery after the devastation of Hurricane Helene is something we can all do. This community has suffered so much and deserves our support. Thank you Corner Kitchen for a New Year's Eve we'll never forget. We'll definitely be back! read more

We eat at Corner Grill alot and I would highly recommend it as the best in my opinion in the County. The breakfasts have that southern appeal, like grits livermush and biscuits and gravy.

I've seen Corner Kitchen in Biltmore Village for years when I've visited. This trip I stayed in the village so was walking distance from the restaurant so finally went for dinner. I'm so glad I did. I started my meal with the Watermelon Gazpacho. I don't ever order gazpacho but maybe the watermelon caught my eye. Omg it was so good. Light and refreshing, yet savory. On a hot summer day it's a perfect starter. The amuse bouche was a cornbread with banana and almond butter. Sweet but it worked. My entree was Shrimp & grits. The shrimp in the stewed broth was very tasty. Grits can be hit or miss and these were a hit. Very creamy and a perfect compliment. If I had any complainers it was the Vanderbilt martini was sweeter than I wanted. Had a lot of pineapple juice and I was expecting more of a splash. It was also very warm upstairs but I didn't let either of these deter from the excellent meal. I would definitely go back and also want to try breakfast. read more

Food was delicious, the atmosphere cozy and the staff extremely friendly. Love that everything is locally sourced and the food options are inclusive to all needs. They have daily specials. I am GF but they also are sensitive for vegan and vegetarian etc. On a Friday night though the wait was extensive for food once seated, we were there for two hours but had drinks and appetizers, the dessert wait was the longest. So plan to relax, you can't be in a rush, enjoy the ambience. Totally worth it! For a local restaurant the price was average. read more

It's been years since I visited the Corner Kitchen. So many people love it I thought I'd give it another go. I love the ambience of the place. Service was also top notch. But all of that doesn't mean much if the food isn't also great. Maybe if I was t a vegetarian, I'd like it more. There are plenty of options for carnivores, after all, but slim pickings for plant eaters I was there for lunch (or brunch, as they called it, even though it was after 1 pm) and the only sandwich that was Vegetarian was the portobello. The waiter told us about the dishes of the day, one if which was a eggs Benedict with salmon. I will eat salmon so I ordered that. The dish was acceptable. The potatoes on the side were good, the hollandaise sauce was good, but the salmon, which should have been the star of the show, was dry and without flavor. One more bright note was the white sangria. It was delicious. Overall, this visit reminded me why I don't visit them more often. read more

Corner Kitchen has not lost the touch. Started with seasonal cocktails that were so well balanced. Had the appetizer for the table of Chengzi Oysters on a seaweed salad base with fresh mandarins orange segments. Beautifully balanced! Folks at the table had the Fresh Market catch of Cobia with a crabmeat crust, and the Shrimp and Grits -Yum! Ended with desserts we all tasted and argued who chose the best one as they were all so good. Amazing quality of food and Chris took such good care of us. We will be back as soon as we can. read more
