First time visiting the Biltmore estate. Being a local of NC, we are always looking for unique, local businesses. Located in the heart of Biltmore Village, while touring or doing your shopping or even looking for a great place to dine, The Corner Kitchen is the place to go. With affordable pricing, and a variety of choices, we are definitely going to make this a stop on our next visit. read more

Our experience here was great. Loved the atmosphere. The service was quick and waitress was friendly. The Carolina Cobb Salad was simply amazing. I have never been so satisfied with a meal before. For those of you who are on a gluten free diet or if your vegan, your needed will definitely be met here. We were just visiting Asheville and live about 2 hours away, but the drive is so worth it. Thank you Corner Kitchen!!!! read more

We had Johnny as a waiter- AMAZING service. I had the waffle with strawberries and bananas and I'm a huge waffle fan, best waffle I've had in a VERY long time. Make sure you try the mixed berry jam! Definitely will be back plenty of times! read more

Excellent lunch. The feta potato salad was some of the best I've ever had. The food was fresh and well prepared. My only complaint was the noise. I found it a little tough to hear my wife who was sitting across from me. Otherwise this would have been 5 stars. Highly recommend. read more

This place has terrible costumer service! We dined here for the second time, remembering the food was good then (even though we waited a long time for the entrees). This time, we ordered one kid's meal 5 minute after sitting down, to speed things up for the two-year-old. But appetizers ordered 10 minutes after arrived 10 minutes before the kid's meal! The waiter and kitchen could care less that a kid's meal is first priority. But to top it all, we waited over 50 (!!) minutes for the entrees. The waiter only approached our table after 45 minutes and said food is a few minutes away, and we told him it's hardly helpful since we were about to leave (and asked to pay only for what we ate till then). The waiter went and came back with the dishes, kind of forcing us to stay and eat after what we really wanted was to leave. The waiter didn't think that waiting for 50 minutes is something requiring his apologies. But his manager told us the cut off is 45 minutes!!! Any thing under 45 minutes seems reasonable to him! We told him that a 45 minute wait is never acceptable, nowhere, especially without previous warning, but we weren't even warned after a 20 minute wait, when it was already clear the kitchen is jammed. After that, the manager thought that offering free dessert (we were complaining the food took forever so we'll wait some more?? No, thanks!) or that waiving the appetizers (17$) was enough for a 80$ check. Clearly, this 45 minutes wait is a norm here, and staffers see nothing wrong with that. So our first time here and the long wait then was an indicator that this is how the place is run. Just not worth it. Will not be back. read more

Food was good One meal sent back for being too cold and steak was on the edge of being too cool Service slow in my opinion 2hrs 15 min 3 courses Service lackluster big lags between apps and entrees Server should have told us about preordering souflees resulting in additional 20min wait Server did take 10% off bill due to cold meal unsolicited Chicken coq very good as was strip steak Souflee superior read more

My sister and I ate at this restaurant. It's charming; it's in a house and there are different rooms. There were a lot of people waiting so evidently its popular. The food was fresh (I had corned beef hash and egg over) and the servers very personable. A very nice breakfast place. read more

Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Every entree was out of this world. I'm stunned. Service was impeccable. The egg soufflé which isn't in the dessert menu was to die for. You won't be disappointed. read more

My mother and I ate her on a Sunday for brunch. When we first checked in they asked if we preferred inside, outside, or bar. We said we didn't care because we knew it was busy and if they could squeeze us in the bar that would be fine with us. As expected we waiting a good 50 mins or so, no big deal. When the "your table is ready text" came through we immediately headed towards the restaurant. But to my surprise the patio was 1/4 full and inside was pretty empty as well, so why the long wait? Anyway that wasn't the problem. Even though there was a good 20 empty tables, the host decided to seat us at the bar!!? Why? We looked around and there were PLENTY of open tables. When you go out for Sunday brunch you want to be waited on not flagging down the bar person so you can order. The bar wasn't bad but the sat us at the end where all the kitchen dishes were. There were dish washer silverware holders right next us and all the dish bins were around us. It felt as if we were in the kitchen even though there were other seats at the bar, about six other seats. As for the food, it was okay nothing to rave about, prices were pretty high since one waffle is $8.5 oh and and extra $1 if you want any toppings plus it is literally a lonesome waffles, like not eggs or potatoes included. Maybe I'm being unreasonable I don't know but I was disappointed in this local restaurant. On the plus side, the specialty mimosa was super delicious and the size was well worth the price! read more

We tried brunch at Kitchen this summer after hearing about it from several friends. It was a solid brunch - food was good, service fine, atmosphere was fun. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to return, but would eat there again. Parking is difficult. read more

The location is great, and when the weather is nice and wonderful place to sit outside on the patio. however, the dishes are overpriced. The food is good and the service was the highlight. But for the amount we paid, I would expect more complex dishes and a more sophisticated plate. probably not the best place for families, more of a couples and friend restaurant. read more

I recently had lunch here and it was phenomenal. Hannah was our server and she was delightful. From the appetizer to deserts, I don't think you can go wrong with any choice. We had the chips to start with. I had the turkey & cheddar sandwich with feta potato salad. For desert we split the cheesecake and corn pudding. All delicious. I'll definitely return here whenever I'm in Asheville. read more

Always an amazing meal. Consistently top notch and a favorite brunch spot. Bagel and lox is my favorite in Asheville. One tourist spot that's not over rated. read more

The omelette had a cold slice of swiss cheese and canned mushrooms in it. The breakfast potatoes were absolutely room temperature and mushy. The specialty cocktail was even made incorrectly. This is not at all a result of bad service. The service was fine. The food is terrible. Really. Cute place. Awful food. read more

The Food here is spot on! Delicious and Consistent. We have never been there that a chef hasn't circulated the dining room ( no matter how busy they are) to ask how the experience was. Unfortunately the front of the house is consistently inconsistent! Long waits, empty tables and bar, unbussed and rude service most of the time. Maybe they consider the tourists an aggravation however locals accept the parking and the normal wait times to enjoy wonderful food. The front of the house clearly needs some retraining for locals to make this a favorite! read more

One of my favorite dining experiences I've had in some time. My wife and I sat at the bar and were treated to some of the most friendly service by Stacy. The fried oysters were great, as was the sun dried tomato and portobello strudel (though the portion of the strudel left something to be desired). Overall, I can't recommend it highly enough because of the terrific staff, comfortable ambiance and great menu. A+ read more

My daughters were home from college and I decided to treat them to lunch at The Corner Kitchen at 3 Boston Way in Biltmore Village in Asheville, NC on Thursday. When we arrived we found the place swamped with people milling around inside as well as on the porch. We went inside only to be told that we are closed as of 5 minutes ago. We were disappointed so we went back out on the porch to check the schedule to see when they would be open the next day as we planned to return. They were scheduled to be open for lunch from 11:30am-3:00pm for lunch. NOTHING was posted about closing early for New Year's Eve. We returned the next day at 1:45pm. There was a sign posted on the door stating that they were closing at 2pm instead of 3pm due to New Year's Eve. Why did they not post the sign a week or more in advance if they cared about their customers? I spoke with the Waitress and she said, "Unless you have a reservation we are closed." I told her this was the second time we had tried to get in and the day before the closing at 2 pm sign was not posted. It did not matter to her that we had traveled some distance to get there not once but twice and was turned away. She kept saying, "Unless you have a reservation we are closed." Upon hearing a broken record repeating itself, I did retort to her that we would not be back.......Very rude staff. read more

My Mother is visiting me in Asheville, and she heard from someone that we really needed to try Corner Kitchen. Nestled amongst the other shops and restaurants in Biltmore Village (and across from the fantastic Chelsea's and The Village Tea Room), the Corner Kitchen is a great place to go for a tasty, if a tad pricey and small-portioned, lunch. We both had the fried cod and chips (available only on Fridays), which was delicious. The portion was way too small for $11, however. I could have eaten two. The CK Gingerale I had with my meal ($2.50) was wonderful, and the service was quick and attentive (bordering on smothering, but good nonetheless). You can tell their servers are expected to up-sell, which I find to be a turn-off, but it's not the server's fault. The atmosphere is cozy and we had a lovely window table. The menu lacks a variety of vegetarian options. I would go back again, but when I'm not too hungry. read more

A small place and tight sitting but the food was delicious! We had the pecan crusted trout and three meat meatloaf. I can only say that every bite was exquisite! We will definitely return on another visit. read more

We came in less than an hour before close - incredibly accommodating staff. Knowledgeable overqualified som/chef as our waiter and amazing farm to table fish and beef. Great selecting of local beer and craft cocktails in abundance. I had the corvina with a hemp pale ale, arugula salad, and salmon ravioli to start. Spectacular seasonal menu. read more

Very cute place. Good food and cute ambiance. The wait is always long so make a reservation.

Overpriced for the quality of the food and the cooking. Steak should have been sold at a third of the price and the fish was burnt.

Lousy service while on our honeymoon. Went in for breakfast -- only time waitress came to our table was to drop off drinks, food, and check. And hardly a word while doing it. She didn't even have that many tables. Pancakes came out cold. Weren't very good. My wife's waffle was ok. read more

honestly i expected more... been there twice and nothing really stood out. The menu was a bit unimpressive... that said, there wasn't anything wrong with the food or the service. my girlfriend enjoyed her meal quite a bit both times, but i left grumbling... read more

Not worth the wait...after seeing the reviews we decided to go for breakfast while in Asheville. It was a 45 minute wait to be seated for a typical egg, toast and potatoes breakfast (and the bread wasn't even scratch made). The coffee was even mediocre. It wasn't bad, just not a meal worth waiting for when you can go down the street for the same food that's of equal quality and price. read more

It doesn't seem this place cares to serve minorities. I was blatantly ignored by the host for several minutes before I was able to sit. My hash browns were likely the bottom scrapes of a previous batch and the server threw the check at me before I was even half way though the meal with no offers of a coffee refill. The only reason they get an extra star from me is because of the blueberry jam. Everything else is basic and the culture could use an upgrade. read more

I ordered the walnut encrusted salmon. The salmon was good, cooked perfectly. But the beet sauce with it did not complement the taste of the salmon, and the roasted vegetables were not tasty. My husband's trout was a very small portion. Our dishes were served barely lukewarm. Just a very so-so dinner, for a hefty price. read more

First class. Comfortable, excellent service, terrific food at appropriate price level. My wife had the scallops on a bed of braised leeks (to die for) and I had the NY Strip on a bed a garlic mashed potatoes with asparagus. The steak was tender, very well seasoned, perfectly done, and well presented. We shared the soufflé of the day for dessert, and it was equally wonderful. read more

Four of us stopped in for a late lunch following a visit to the Biltmore. The location is convenient in the cute Biltmore village, though parking can be limited. We arrived at about 2:10 knowing they close at 3 for the lunch service and we're told they had a 30 minute wait but would still seat and serve us. We were seated a bit before 3 and though the waitstaff was pleasant they seemed a bit annoyed (though I didn't blame them and several tables were seated just before 3). The space is an old house, well renovated to serve as a restaurant. Three of us enjoyed sandwiches which were good but not overly exciting, the feta potato salad was the star of the show on the side. I had the Ploughman's plate with a cup of the crab and corn chowder, house salad, roasted portobello (vegetarian option), sliced cheese and toasted pesto bread. I really ordered because I wanted the soup and found it overly thick and not very warm, that was disappointing. The bread was great but not enough for all of the cheese provided. The mushroom was flavorful and well cooked but overall the dish sounded better than it was represented. It was a nice lunch but there are so many good places to eat in Asheville I would likely not return. read more

An intimate setting with friendly service, an affordable wine list and extraordinary food. Choices of small plates and entrees made it possible to dine well without breaking the budget, and the wait staff encouraged creative, shareable combinations. Kudos to all involved. read more

Exceptional breakfast stop. Each visit has surpassed the last. The fresh blueberry jam was fresh and tangy, along with yogurt, homemade granola and fruit. My friends raved about grits with goat cheese. The beef tips were breakfast sizzle. Each plate presented beautifully and with top-notch service. Applause! Keep doing it right! read more

Was quoted a 30-35 minute wait but it ended up being 15-20 minutes. Sat at the bar and had brunch. I had an egg white omelette with spinach, tomatoes and feta. The veggies were not cooked and the egg whites were just ok. Had a side of grits and a biscuit which were good. My husband had the corned beef hash with 2 eggs. The portion was very small. Overall just an okay brunch. read more

Excellent food and service! Fried chicken sandwich, Ruben, pea salad, potato salad, homemade chips. All were excellent.

Awkward entry way. A little space planning would fix this. Limited dinner offerings. Entrees (at that price) should include at least either a small salad or small cup of soup. Calamari was too small, cold and too dainty. Trout and pork chop was tasty. As it is in "the Village", parking is easier than downtown. Two stars means work needs to happen on this place. read more

The food is delicious, service is always superb and the staff is friendly and helpful. Can't find any better place for a pair of breakfast junkies than this. read more

My wife and I ate here for breakfast based on a recomendation. It was as expected and a very nice place to dine.

The food here is always appealing, with a varied menu, and some interesting twists on traditional recipes. Atmosphere is pleasant, indoors or out (weather permitting). The staff are friendly, and manage to meet the guests' needs without being overbearing. When I have friends visiting Asheville, and they're planning only one meal out, I insist that this has to be the place. Don't miss it! read more

Great evening! They were wonderful with our kids (8 and 13). Wonderful food; wonderful waitstaff!

So I dined here solo at the bar and, while I can't recall what I ate beyond some sort of salad, some sort of fish and a desert, what I can tell you is that they were all good. What was outstanding though were their martinis and that is likely why I have very little recollection of what I ate. I had 2 martinis: a strawberry basil one and another that featured grapefruit. Both were very good but the strawberry basil one was the star of the show. The bartender/server was very friendly and I'd definitely return here for a nice meal and drinks. read more

Perfect dinner within walking distance of our hotel. Our waiter gave an excellent wine suggestion as we were not familiar with many on the list. We chose multiple small plates to get a feel for the restaurants capabilities. The cornbread crusted oysters were perfectly cooked, arugula and mustard drizzle were the perfect accompaniments. The rabbit strudel was decadent...I could have eaten it as my meal! The calamari was tasty and non-traditional, also well prepared. Shrimp skewers were also very good. When the waiter found out it was my birthday he insisted on sending us home with a delicious slice of cheesecake with chocolate sauce...we thoroughly enjoyed it..worth every darn calorie! Would definitely recommend and return!! read more
