We ate here our first night in Asheville and it did not disappoint! The atmosphere was causal and cozy in an old house, the staff was helpful and attentive, and I can't stress how amazing the food was!! We started with a bowl of corn and crab chowder and fried pickled green tomatoes topped with a tangy crab salad. It was wonderful! Then we ordered the pecan crusted trout, a classic that stays on their menu despite other seasonal changes, and it was wonderful. My mom said it was the best fish she had ever had. I ordered the volcano pork shank and WOW. The meat was so tender, the sauce was amazing, and the purée was flavored incredible with an amazing texture. Highly recommend this place!!! read more

I can't rave enough about this restaurant. The food, service, staff. It's a well run establishment and the teamwork is phenomenal! Went for lunch, and our server Crystal was exceptional. The next day, we went back for dessert and sat by the kitchen. Our server was exceptional again, forgot her name. Crystal from yesterday stoped by to say hello. Lunch was grilled chicken sandwich and fried green tomato sandwich. Dessert was the chocolate mousse OMG yumo, and Baileys coffee. If you're in Asheville this is a must go to! read more

Back today & lived the red snapper special & zing soup du jour. Highly recommend this fabulous spot! read more

Stopped at the Country Kitchen and sat at the bar with Ali...she was a pleasant edition to the beginning of my birthday weekend. She gave us lots of tips for Asheville and served up great service and craft cocktails. She recognized my birthday and topped it of with the cinnamon roll bread pudding which puts all others to shame. Delicious is an understatement. Definitely a stop while in Asheville. read more

Everything and I mean, EVERYTHING was delicious here. Also, I fell down the stairs which are wooden, hollow, and right next to the main dining room. You know, a girl likes to make an entrance! The dining experience is very intimate...it definitely feels like the small, vintage (better than saying "old", right?) home that it is, tucked away in the Biltmore Village. The service left us wanting nothing (except maybe his #...) and we were all very pleased with our dishes. We started with the bread basket...ugh...need I say more?! They have little baby cornbread in there! My brother got the beef dish, his gf the meatloaf, and my mom and I split the pork chop because we'd had a little starter (and a bottle of wine) a bit earlier. Our pork chop had a drizzle of a spicy bbq type sauce on it and was atop the most perfect, warm vinegar-based veggie salad. I wish I could tell you what all was in it...there might have been carrots...celery...I don't even know other than every flavor blended to be absolutely divine. We were all too stuffed for dessert...the second bottle of wine probably didn't help with that. I would go back here in a heartbeat. You won't be disappointed. read more

I think we chose ALL the wrong things from here :( The place is very cute. It's a little house and the inside is decorated nicely. We came at 12:15 and had a 30 min wait. Which is to be expected. We waiting in a little heated area on the porch which was nice of them to do for their patrons. We started with "Joes Chips". An assortment of different potatoes- sweet potatoes, red bliss potatoes, plantains, malangas, etc. with blue cheese. I thought that was a very interesting combination! So I wanted to order it. In my MIND I was thinking this was going to be baked? Or the "chips" would be large and thick? You know, like it was made in house. Well they came out and I thought "wow. These look like the chips I buy in the organic section"... Not saying that's what they were! I'm saying that because I was a bit disappointed. They literally looked and tasted like the bag chips I buy. Boring. Next! Next was the Chicken Pot Pie. I loveeee chicken pot pie! The chicken, the veg, the PIE CRUST! I was so excited! So it came out and the presentation was cute and innovative! As you can see in the pictures I posted. But when I took my first bite, something seemed...off...err..lacking. Yes. And the more I ate, trying to figure out exactly what it needed, he more I then realized, "this has the texture of dip!". I then became sick to my stomach. That was totally what it was. A big, bland dip. Not to mention my sister made it worse by saying "this top crust looks like a giant ritz cracker!". Ugh! Lord help me. *sick emoji face* Unfortunately this was hands down the worst chicken pot pie I've ever had. My dad got the Ruben. Dad does not share. I can not comment on its taste but it looked great! We finished the meal with White Chocolate Bread Pudding. Again, no. It came on top of flan! And no where in the description did it say anything about flan. And while we were eating...not once did I taste white chocolate. Before we left the table next to us got the brisket sandwich and it smelled and looked phenomenal! Sad face. Wasn't a fan of this place. At least we tried it, and now we know. read more

Love the corn beef on rye with sauerkraut and thousand island dressing. Loved the Southern feel with Cobblestone streets, and old homes transformed into restaurants and specialty stores. The restaurant had outdoor seating and a second story were both of their bathrooms were located. The hostess asked me where I preferred to sit when I came in, and I mentioned an inside table, she seemed hesitant as if it was going to take longer to be seated. So I decided to accept the outdoor seating since it was a nice day and their was a cool breeze outside; but this same breeze made my husband uncomfortable-he told me he smelled a funky odor outside but I didn't want to complain since the server, was friendly and we didn't want anyone to feel offended. The waitress was kind And patiently explained the preparation involved in making their Reuben sandwich. And she was also offering some ideas on where to go if we visited Charleston. The bus boy was also friendly and seemed very busy picking up plates from everywhere; he was pretty muscular too- just an innocent observation. The only other thing I didn't like were the spider webs in the little corners, windows and outdoors. A bit of pressure cleaning outside and in those windows on the top floors would make it all look cleaner and more inviting- should keep critters out and help with the unexpected odors. I'm not marking it down because the food was very good and most of the staff was quite friendly! read more

Nice people, great food and service. Unique menu with local produce. We parked almost in front! A little pricey but worth it. We're from Ohio but when we return, we'll be back! read more

The menu had a nice variety of foods. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was nice. Enjoyed our meal there very much.

Service was excellent, menu selection was interesting and delicious. Restaurant is in an old house and is very quaint. Would return to the Corner Kitchen. read more

Great food and lovely atmosphere! The first time we went, we got lucky to be seated right away. Next time was a 25 minute wait. We left and went somewhere else but I would recommend going here! The food is wonderful if you don't mind the wait! read more

First impression review: We visited Corner Kitchen on a overcast Saturday morning. We booked a table using yelps open table service. We were able to book the table 30 minutes before we arrived and were immediately seated when we got there, after being graciously greeted by the host and see multiple people waiting for seats around us (always use the open table option when available). Service was incredibly quick, I had a bottomless cup of delicious coffee and ordered the hickory nut gap chorizo and egg while my date enjoyed a Dungeness crab and asparagus omelet (a brunch special). The side options were roasted potatoes with rosemary or grits, we tried both but I would say the roasted potatoes were the better option, crisp on the outside, soft on the inside with amazing flavor. Both breakfast options were delicious, the chorizo and egg comes with tortillas and salsa so you have the option of making a "taco" if desired. They also had a biscuit as a side with the special served with a delicious locally made blueberry jam. Delicious brunch, speedy service, homey and quaint atmosphere (we sat upstairs immediately to the left in a room that was open, oriental carpets cover the hardwood floors and there was a lovely fireplace with a fire going). After breakfast you can walk around Biltmore village to enjoy the fresh air and beautiful scenery. Can't wait for our next visit! Also, an interesting side note, this restaurant is known for hosting President Obama and party when they're in town. The table that he and the First Lady sat at is marked, so keep an eye out when you're visiting! read more

We were visiting Asheville and popped in to Corner Kitchen, and as usual, it did not disappoint. My husband had the pork chop and I had the trout and I have no words with which to complement the Chef for the exquisite flavors of both dishes. My trout came with green beans and mashed sweet potatoes and I'm not a lover of green beans - our server Allie was kind enough to let the Chef know and he prepared some Swiss Chard which was incredible! Allie our server was the best! She answered all of our questions like a pro, was very sweet throughout the entire evening, and her attention to detail was magnificent. Allie and Corner Kitchen, we hope to see you again soon! read more

I've lived here for 23 years and this is still a sure thing delicious meal every time I go.

What can I say that hasn't been said already about how awesome this place is? There is a reason this restaurant has had longevity in this market. Atmosphere was relaxing, staff where friendly/knowledgeable, and the food was spot on. If you are passing thru and looking for a good meal this is the spot. read more

Nice find. I don't see why they advertise on yelp. The food and service sells itself. Very accommodating to single Customers. They have a small seating area in the front by the Kitchen. You can watch the chefs cook but it is a bit loud. If you like creativity it is the place to be. The complementary Baba ghanouch was tasty. I started with the clam chowder that is on my check in. I highly recommend it I then moved on to their signature trout out with sweet potatoes and green beans. The beans had slivered almonds and caramelized crispy onions. Beans were crisp and fresh. Mashed sweet potato had slivered crispy potatoes on top. A nice touch. The trout was tender and fresh. Lightly breaded with almonds and a Lemmon butter sauce. Hate to admit it but my arm was twisted by the waitress and I ordered the house special gingerbread soufflé. Fantastic read more

My wife and I enjoyed lunch here while in the area for our anniversary. We could not have been more impressed with the food and the service we experienced. I had the chicken & waffles, she the chef's omelet. Both were fresh and delicious. The wildflower honey-lemon cheesecake for dessert was the perfect cap on the meal. Scott provided very thoughtful and prompt service throughout our meal. We'll definitely be back more often. read more

Absolutely delicious! Fell in love with this restaurant years ago when I visited Asheville and needed somewhere that took reservations. Went again and it's still amazing!! We ordered based off Matt's suggestions and WOW!! We ordered the Mango Bellini, Omelette of the day (filled with smoked salmon), Benedict of the day (pimento cheese and fried green tomato), burger, and donut app. Everything was amazing!! My Dad isn't one to get excited about food and he was beyond impressed with the burger. Said it was the best one he's EVER had! High praise from a man who's traveled all over the states and world. New favorite for my parents and I was so glad to be back. Can't wait for our next trip to Asheville. We're already talking about going so we can have dinner here. read more

A must! Food is always amazing as is the service. Cute little house atmosphere with tables.

Very good place to try while in Asheville. I believe if I got something different I would have given 5 stars. I got the Biltmore Basic brunch and although good it follows its name well. My wife got the burger and it looked and tasted great. Service was great and friendly. For 2 with just sodas it was $40 before tip. read more

Phenomenal Food. Better service. In the sweetest brightest little spot. We sat on the second floor and it was so fun. Sister brunch complete ! read more

Corner Kitchen - Corned beef hash and burger. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

First let me say that the food and the staff are 5 stars, with exclamation marks and joyful leaps and bounds. I have no complaints whatsoever about any of that. It's been a couple years since I visited here, but I recently had the opportunity to go back. However, I unfortunately was forced to make a different choice. Why? Because during that time, I have become mobility-impaired. And the Corner Kitchen's restrooms are on the second floor. It's a long flight of stairs, and there is no elevator. So as much as I had looked forward to having a meal here again...I could not, because stairs are a deal-breaker for me. I wish that were not the case, but it is. I do realize that installing an elevator for the occasional physically challenged guest is an expensive prospect and may not be cost-effective for the business, but it's very sad when I'm forced to choose what might be a second-rate restaurant just because they have accessible restrooms. So I guess I won't ever be back. I wish you the best, though. read more

My Husband and I got married last week and are up in Asheville for our honeymoon! This restaurant is easily the worst restaurant experience we've ever had. We came to the restaurant and was refused alcohol, a mimosa, because I had a paper copy of my license that was issued by the Driver Services- as last week my last name changed. The manager that apparently has an "art degree" said anyone can make the paper copy. I would recommend letting her know that the Driver Service issues paper copies until your license comes in the mail. Also if anyone has a fake Id, they are unable to scan IDs to see if they are real. read more

WOW!!!! What a great meal. The chef's style reminded me of the old Bouley NYC. Every bite exploded with so many great flavors. Our waitress was wonderful. Very accommodating with GF options. Bravo!!!! read more

This is a must visit restaurant in Biltmore Village, Ashville, NC. Not only was our Server Tiffany attentive, friendly and professional, the Manager Rene' created a personal wine experience. He had us do a blind tasting with two wines to help us choose what would pair best with our beautiful Sea Scallop dinner. You must try this restaurant. read more

Went early on a Sunday to catch Chihuly at Biltmore across the street after dusk. Found out about the place from friends who recommended and we had been the the owners other spot Chestnut on Biltmore Avenue for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed it. Rachel was our server and was great. She sensed our desire to eat, enojoy and run rather than making an evening of it. That coupled with everyone waiting on the quaint porch outside made that pace work for her as well. We started with a glass of wine and a beer while we ordered. Lisa had the green salad (****) and I had the arugula salad with blue cheese and pears and the corn and shrimp chowder (*****), which was tasty, thick and loaded with "the goods." Next courses were the charcuterie plate for Lisa (large and delish, she couldn't finish) and I had maple braised pork cheeks (*****) with bacon, green onions and topped with an egg. So "fork tender" and a decent size for a starter portion. Wine list was a little pricey for what they served; most of the california reds were from the lakes and other places south. Well curated though. As I said service was top notch; ambiance is casual and a bit noisy. Its a great location right in Biltmore Village and a short walk from our hotel. We definitely would return! read more

My friend and I decided to check out their brunch based on the reviews. My friend got the French toast and I got the hash brown bites & grits. Everything was so good! The hash brown bites were cheesy & perfectly fried and the grits had a great consistency and flavor. My friends French toast was flavorful and the challah bread holds up well so it's not soggy. It's a definite must visit! read more

I had a really good brunch experience here. It was busy when we arrived, but we actually got sat at the bar very quickly. The bartender was nice. The menu has so many good items to choose from! It was hard making a decision for sure. They also have delicious looking cocktails. The restaurant is so cute and if you're going too fast, may miss it. It's settled in an old, cozy house. It's comfortable inside and feels like home. I have been wanting to try it for along time, I wish I would have sooner! There are shops within walking distance and it's a nice spot to visit when in town. read more

Absolutely top notch in Asheville--fine dining and service. Best steak/lobster dinner/drinks ever--definitely will keep coming back. Last time there our server also had to make/serve drinks so that slowed things down, but she made up for it in attentiveness. Not cheap, but worth every penny. Don't miss it! Also delicious for lunch. Like sitting outdoors in summer. read more

I had the smoothie bowl it was just perfect. My friend had the shrimp and grits she loved it. I would highly recommend this if you're looking for a fresh organic breakfast. read more

Service is wonderful! Restaurant is super cute! Got the beef tips and eggs for brunch which was okay. The steak wasn't super flavorful but it was cooked the way I ordered. I got a biscuit instead of the toast which came w butter and homemade jam.. My weakness! It was good! I also got fruit instead of potatoes. They are very accommodating with substitutions which I love! Friends enjoyed their meals too! One got ham w gravy and fried grits and the other got the special which was a waffle w ham chive and cheddar. Overall not amazing amazing food but cute and awesome service. read more

On our way back from FL to NY we made a reservation based on the reviews we read online about this popular restaurant. Located in a lovingly maintained historic home, the staff and menu offerings were varied and obviously in line with their mission...locally sourced and fresh. Our server, believe it was Chris, helped us to select delicious apps and entrees. Servings were generous which sadly kept us from ordering dessert. Maybe that is a good thing! We will certainly return next year and try the brunch menu. Only disappointment was that the upstairs dining room was closed, as I would have loved to sit at the Obama Table. :-) read more
