This is a great place for a quite Saturday morning breakfast. You want to be here when it opens or make a reservation. It is in a historical house and adorned with stained glass. I felt that I was in a storybook. As for the food, I was very happy. I had the Ploughman's Lunch. I had the vegetarian option. It was decadent. Mushrooms, local cheeses, and a soft cauliflower soup were just the thing to start the day. The coffee was alright. The pear chocolate brownie with peppermint ice cream was to die for. read more

I am usually not a big fan of little hipster style restaurants but this one changed my mind. Fantastic food. Really good quality coffee and the blueberry jam and muffins are worth the drive. I even bought a bottle of it to bring home! Parking can be a little bit of a pain. read more

Gazpacho was good, salads good and the wine list was very good. The chocolate souffle was the highlight of our dinner. Waitress seemed to ignore our table of two, so we went from soup and salad straight to a souffle. Really not impressed with this place although it's cute, but we wouldn't dine here again. read more

We took a long weekend down to Asheville and planned to hit the Biltmore on Friday morning. We did some research for some of the breakfast spots in Asheville and came across the Corner Kitchen.... close to Biltmore and in a very neat old neighborhood. Lets start by saying that the service was unmatched and they were very welcoming. We made a reservation just to be safe and arrived right on time, we were greeted with "Ah, Mr. Thomas, we've been waiting for you!" I mean who wouldn't want that kind of treatment! To make the experience even better, we ordered mimosas and they were large and incredibly delicious! Ordered food and it came out very timely, large portions and absolutely delicious. We went on a fall Friday morning and the place wasnt packed at all! A great breakfast experience! 10 out of 10 would eat here again, this place is great! read more

Be advised that although making reservations you will still end up waiting 35+ minutes for a table. I normally don't like to start my reviews with a personal anecdote but this is part of my experience and the service is not good. I made reservations for a Saturday morning brunch and was told by the male blond host with the glasses that my table should be ready in a few minutes. Not a problem, that's pretty standard. I understand how busy it can be on a Saturday morning, and was expecting not to wait more than a reasonable 10-15 minutes for my table. We ended up waiting more than 35+ and a couple who arrived for their reservation (same party number) after us was seated immediately. WHY?Here's where things get weird: I got an email that my reservation was cancelled. After waiting 35 minutes (we are patient, attentive and hungry), we checked in with the same host again who said he "called our name earlier".... There's no chance of this as we are sitting literally by the door and paying attention to every name being called very loudly. If he called our name, why didn't he bother to look for us just like he looked for every other person he called while he had us waiting? Anyway, don't know if this guy was having a bad day, forgot about us, is racist or intentionally didn't want to deal with us and cancelled my reservation AFTER I've already checked in. In all my years of dining, I've never had a restaurant cancel my own reservation--especially after I've checked in and when I'm right outside their front door and 3 feet away from the host! He was unpleasant the entire time, which made my personal experience even more unpleasant. The food is not bad, but suspiciously plated very quickly for a slammed restaurant. I ordered the salad with lavender chicken and it was a bit bland. The waffles looked good. They do run out of menu items and their menu is limited already. Don't think I'll be returning, as service did not win me over and there is no stand out dish. Sorry but no thanks! read more

Had the granola bowl and it was delicious! The blackberry lavender lemonade mimosa was amazing. Def come here again

This is such a cute place to stop for lunch. I'm really glad we didn't leave Asheville without eating here. The Biltmore Village has a lot of little shops and restaurants, but I'd be sure to choose Corner Kitchen. It was crowded on a Monday for lunch and there was about a 20 minute wait. There's plenty of benches outside to sit on while you wait. Everything on the menu sounded really good. The staff were super friendly. I ordered the portobello mushroom sandwich. It was served open faced on ciabatta bread with goat cheese on top. It was unlike your typical sandwich and it was so tasty. The mushrooms were flavored perfectly and the goat cheese was delicious on top. I'd definitely recommend ordering this if you go for lunch. The fries on the side were just okay and nothing special. But the sandwich really made up for it! read more

Corner Kitchen - Portobello mushroom sandwich. Served open faced with goat cheese on top! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

EXPENSIVE FOR DINNER. I had looked this place up for lunch, but we did not make it to this location till dinner time. WOWZA. I had not expected such a discrepancy in their pricing from lunch to dinner menu. We ended up getting 2 appetizers and honestly the portions were large enough that we were fine with that. My husband ordered the crab cakes (which were outstanding) and I ordered the soup and bread basket. Very very good freshly baked bread and biscuits. The food was excellent, and so was the presentation. The restaurant's decor is really interesting and modern, however, with the prices they charge for dinner I would expect this place to be clean. It was really not. We got in at the beginning of dinner service (restaurant was closed for 3 hrs from lunch time) and they had not even swept the floors. There were dead flies on the floor, the baseboards were grimy, the windows really dirty and the bathroom was icky. So that's my 5th star there. If you want to be a top notch restaurant, you need to invest in cleanliness...then I'll give you all 5 stars ;-) read more

Had brunch. They have a farm to table menu with a variety of choices. I started with the cinnamon roll, which is delicious and HUGE. Luckily, I was returning to my room before setting out, so I got to experience it the next day. I loved that the icing was not sugary sweet - more of a cream cheese, tangy frosting. It is the best cinnamon roll that I have ever reheated. Somehow it managed to taste like it did the first day I ate it. I had to try the Rueben, as Corner Kitchen is known for it. It is the best I ever had. The corn beef is nicely seasoned and the most tender, lean corn beef I have ever eaten. The house made sauerkraut was a perfect accompaniment. Service was great and the atmosphere is light and cheery. Parking can be a bit of a challenge. read more

Excellent food and great service. Bacon wrapped scallops were delicious as were the addictive crispy cauliflower & artichokes. Mains of pecan crusted trout and Oscar filet were also great. Service was polished, convivial and knowledgeable. We sat outdoors and wished for more comfortable seats which were hard slatted wooden chairs but otherwise had a delightful evening. read more

Owned by the same partners, the Corner Kitchen and Chestnut exhibit the same DNA, superbly local cuisine and product, terrific service, welcoming but unpretentious atmosphere, and moderate prices. We both loved our trout. Michele was our cheery, helpful waitress. She treated us like old friends who are guests in her house. read more

Food was outstanding, great value, our server Nikki was excellent. Great restaurant in a great area of Asheville

While waiting for a table with my family I witnessed one of your kitchen staff cutting up ready-to-eat strawberries WITHOUT any GLOVES. He then proceeded to touch his socks/shoes and then went back to cutting up the fruit once again. I was disgusted. We immediately left. I do not want to be eating any fruit that one of your employees touched with his barehands and touched his socks with. I was complete disgusted and disappointed. Please make the necessary adjustments and training that is necessary for your employees. Thank You. read more

Stopped here for lunch on our way through town. We were pleasantly surprised at how good everything was. My boyfriend got their breakfast taco specials and I got the portobello ciabatta and then split the bread pudding. The portobello was a good option for vegetarians, so yummy and not boring at all as some vegetarian options can be places. Everything was amazing!! read more

I really wanted to like it. We were meeting friends for a Valentine's dinner and the reviews sounded great. Service was good (although our server definitely seemed hurried as he managed 4-5 tables). The restaurant let us stay after closing while we chatted. But...the food was disappointing. I had the pork osso buco with sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts. My hubs had the ribeye. My pork was tough and sitting in rich/salty sauce. The veggies were the best part sadly. My hubs steak was cold and also in a sauce that really didn't do his entree any favors. The winning part was our friends dessert. The only time I heard anybody say anything was good was while they ate their cake. Not sure I'd give them a second chance when there are a million other restaurants in the area and our meal was pricey/underwhelming. read more

Excellent food!!!! Service was great. When we go to Biltmore we always eat there. Great atmosphere.

Food was delicious and presented very nicely. However, it was way over-priced for what you got. Waitress was not exactly friendly to a table of 1, but very friendly with the table of 4! read more

Corner Kitchen - Pork chop on corn salsa - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

No photos, not worth it. Must have been a really bad day for them. The atmosphere and service was flat with very little life or spirit. Pretty much the same for the food as well. The Eggs, fried or scrambled, were both lukewarm to cold. My scrambled eggs were dry, lower than room temp and were already getting stiff. Really, finishing and plating eggs first on an order? The stone ground grits for were dry and very firm. Basically, the texture was like Saturday grits that have been on the counter for hours. The country ham was cooked so hard and dry that it crumbled into pieces (shards). It is almost like it was about to shatter when sawing it with a knife. The bacon followed the same suit it so dry and it crumbled into pieces when biting off a piece... The shame is that one could tell the quality of the product was fresh and high. But the execution and prepping of the kitchen neither had the respect or appreciation nor experience to handle breakfast. I can't recommend and I would advise to stay from here for breakfast. Will never go back : ( read more

My second visit and it was better than the first. I had their special the Pork loin wrapped in Pork belly with collard greens. It was out of this world delicious. At the end I wanted to turn up the plate and drink the leftover juices. But as the lady I am I didn't. However, tempting it was. read more

We loved this quaint restaurant with high end food in a casual atmosphere. Very unusual dishes we were anxious to try. Service was great and it's located in a lovely village near the grand Biltmore Estate. Highly recommend and we will be going to their sister restaurant prior to returning home! read more

After we got married this was our first dinner as a couple and it is hands down the most perfect meal we have ever had. The Service was prompt and the staff was very knowledgeable about what to order and pairing of wine and overall curating a meal experience that is A++! read more

I was visiting Asheville for work and had only half a day to tour Biltmore on the day I arrived. I was looking for a good restaurant near the estate and found this gem on Yelp. I arrived at 12:30 with no reservation and was quickly seated at the bar. I'd looked at the menu before arriving and thought I knew what I wanted, but as I looked around the food on every table looked appealing. I ended up ordering the Adobo pork and was not disappointed. The service was really quick. I was in an out in under 30 minutes. read more

The food was awesome! Service was fantastic! The suggestions was fantastic! Couldn't been better!

Visited Corner Kitchen for Sunday brunch with a large group on NYE morning. Very glad we made a reservation, because we overheard the hostess tell someone it was a 2hr wait for a table. We were promptly seated at a table upstairs upon our arrival. We started with orders of coffee and probably the best biscuits and gravy I've ever had in my life (Don't tell my mom I said that). For my entree, I had the Biltmore breakfast, scrambler style, which included fresh herbs and cream cheese in my eggs. So glad I decided to order it this way because it was delicious! I chose the potatoes and a biscuit as my side, along with some AMAZING crab and corn chowder. The fresh cilantro on the chowder made the dish! Others in our party raved over the waffle and the monte cristo. Since it was NYE morning, they also offered a black eyed peas and greens soup of the day. Corner Kitchen was a great brunch location before a visit to the Biltmore Estate. Would definitely return next time I'm in the Asheville area! read more

Absolutely loved this cute spot! We were staying near Biltmore village and wanted a good place for drinks and breakfast. I had their Benedict with grits - grits were fabulous!!! My boyfriend had their corn beef hash, made in house, and he had no complaints. He had Bloody Mary, the mix is homemade and delicious. I had a mimosa - always good. They are also a full glass size. There was no wait at 9:30 on a Saturday! Would definitely recommend. read more

This place for dinner was a home run!! Wait time only half hour here and was beautiful outside waiting. We got the shrimp and crab skewer app and it was delicious. Entrées were so damn good. I got the grouper creole dish and it was as good as any dish ever OMG. Wife got the crusted trout dish and was super! Waiter was the bomb!!! Highly Recommended here!!!!!!!! read more

Corner Kitchen is located in the Biltmore Village section of Asheville. Due to the time crunch this place was recommended as one of the few where someone can get a reservation. I was super glad we got one because people were waiting hours of tables when we arrived. Parking is a bit of a nightmare, there is a public lot next to J Crew where you can pay through an app for your parking. Street parking seems to be free but not very abundant. Anyway, New Years Eve, 5 people sat down as we arrived, at a very comfortable table and began to peruse the menu. We all started with orders of coffee or choice of caffeinated beverage, and since we were starving, someone ordered some biscuits and gravy. Now being raised in the south, I have had my share of biscuits and gravy and these are quite literally some of the best biscuits and gravy I've ever had in my life. Fluffy biscuit, creamy flavorful gravy, and some type of little crunch to it, it was total amazement. For entrees, we ordered had one Biltmore breakfast, scrambler style, which included fresh herbs and cream cheese, one normal Biltmore breakfast, and a monte cristo. The sandwich was battered in some kind of vanilla batter that gave it a warm winter flavor. Since it was NYE morning, they also offered a black eyed peas and greens soup of the day. Corner Kitchen was an awesome recommendation for brunch and I would absolutely recommend it to you as well. read more

This has to be a top 5 dining experience in Asheville! (6 years local and we dine out a lot!)   Happy turn of events got us to Corner Kitchen for anniversary dinner.  First for service, Stephanie was very courteous, timely and helpful in the menu. She gave excellent advice. Started with fried cauliflower, an excellent red wine and Jade IPA. For dinner, she had the Mussels w/Chorizo and I had southern, stuffed chicken breast. Both were excellent. I dont know how the cut the chicken breast but it was stuffed with homemade pimento cheese and was incredible! Wife loved her mussels, thought they were better than qny other place shes had them in AVL. Dinner topped off with peach cheese cake and a port. Dining suggestion is to eat outside if possible, only beacuse we prefer it. Our new favortie high end restaurant! read more

Food was very good and innovative but our server Alex seemed annoyed with us. He didn't tell us any specials and didn't want to answer questions about other items. We didn't order any alcohol and I wonder if he decided to ignore us since that wouldn't be upping the bill. read more

In town for the thanksgiving weekend and we decided fo venture out for breakfast on Black Friday. Definitely a long wait to be seated. We were seated upstairs and took a while to get drinks and order our food. The food came and I was surprised at the small portions. I had the Biltmore Village Breakfast which is just eggs, potatoes and a biscuit. After waiting as long as we did for our food to arrive I was disappointed by cold eggs. If you have ever had cold scrambled eggs you would understand how the texture changes. I was too hungry to say something and have them sent back and remade so I just ate them. My husband had the corn beef hash and he was disappointed in the small portion. He is not a huge eater but said there just was not enough food. The best part of the meal was the soft biscuit. Not somewhere I would try again. read more

My husband and I found your restaurant on our recent trip to Asheville and I'm so glad we did! We both had the Bibb salad and loved it, especially the green goddess dressing. The restaurant was very charming--we sat outside, and the staff was great. We look forward to returning! read more

Wow, what a great treasure. Food was great and our server makes a "mean margarita", and it was. We had the salmon and oyster salad. Perfect.

Good food not the best customer service. We got calamari, which was well prepared, as it was lightly fried topped w peppers. Had the best mixture of spicy savory. However, I got the sense that my waiter was annoyed with us for asking too many questions about the food and about the area general around us. read more

We had the mussels for appetizer and they were to die for! The transition from appetizer to main meal was quite slow, however waiter was pretty attentive. We sat by the fire which was so welcome since it was only 30 degrees outside. All in all it was a wonderful valentines dinner! read more
