Service and ambiance was successful, partly due to reservation ahead of time. I got the Broken Yolk Sandwich (consisting of two fried eggs, bacon, tomato and mayo) on GF bread with feta instead of cheddar, with a side of breakfast potatoes. The potatoes were seasoned beautifully and had a nice little crisp to them. The sandwich was filled with flavors that worked like a brunch charm, and the bread was well-toasted. Overall, this place knows how to provide a good brunch. read more

Wonderful staff. The food was basic and the ambiance was a hotel lobby restaurant. With such a fabulous name I had hoped for more of an experience but it was good. read more

We ate brunch at Fork Lore. The waitress that took our order was super smiley and friendly. However, the person who served the food was not. He placed the plates in front of us randomly and when we asked what the plates were, he didn't answer. Not sure if he didn't know what they were or didn't hear us, but it happened multiple times and he would just randomly put the plates down in front of us without announcing what it was or ask who ordered what. We had to do musical chairs with the plates which felt really odd to be blatantly ignored. The Broken Yolk Sandwich was not what I was expecting. The egg was not runny despite the asterisk warning for consuming raw foods and its name. The sandwich felt heavy, especially with the mayo making it feel greasy. The avocado toast on the other hand was delightful. The two poached eggs on top had the perfect yolk that literally dripped down your hand and bread. The restaurant was very pet friendly. There were patrons with pets in the dining area. It felt like a nice family friendly place. read more

My friend, Steve Newbrough, was playing guitar for Sunday brunch. We asked for reservations and got them very near the stage. The food was excellent. If you like hummus, do not miss their hummus. It was outstanding. The service was also great: attentive but not overbearing, just right. I managed to leave my credit card on the table, and that's where the care and courtesy really started to shine. Robert, the restaurant manager, held on to my card and called me to let me know he had it. Unfortunately, we live in a cell phone-free area! When his message came through and I called, I found that he had left my card in the hotel safe. Peggy Miller also had a hard time reaching me, but she also did not take no for an answer. When we finally connected, I was able to go and pick my card up, no problems. So well done, Folklore Restaurant and Hilton Hotel! read more

We we worried when we saw in was in the Hilton but the food was on par with a downtown upscale restaurant. Veggies were as delicious as the main course. Lovely dining experience and prices comparable or lower then surrounding restaurants. read more

I know, a hotel restaurant rarely rates 5 stars. But this one does. I loved that when I made our reservation on open table I asked for us to be served our Old Fashioned cocktails upon seating and there like magic they were waiting for us. The ambiance reminded me of a city bar in the financial district. The food was great. I definitely recommend the crab cakes. Thank you Fork Lore on capping off a lovely day. read more

Whether you will like this restaurant depends on what you are looking for. As for location, it is basically a hotel lobby bar. We asked to sit behind the low open wall away from TVs and foot traffic passing through the space, and we were told a party was using the space. They were, but the group was only taking up one long table. I'm still not sure why we couldn't have been seated there. Instead, we were seated in the bar area, and I watched people walking through from the moment we sat down until we left. At one point, a worker with a leaf blower walked by and then back again. The craft cocktail was creative and delicious. The food was excellent. The server was attentive. But if I had wanted to eat in a bar, I would not have made an Open Table reservation somewhere. The lobby layout ruins what would otherwise be a fine dining experience. read more

Fabulous food and service! The food is so fresh and the service was excellent. I never feel 'rushed' to 'turn the table' at this restaurant. Very comfortable and not noisy. Its easy to carry on a conversation with friends. A very enjoyable place! read more

The soup was quite possibly the smallest serving of soup I've ever seen. My spoon could sit on the bottom and still could see the sides of the spoon. Like maybe 5 spoonfuls. It was laughable how small the serving was... had I known that I wouldn't have ordered it. However, the soup was the only thing taste wise I would choose to eat again. The kids chicken tenders were so hard the kids had trouble chewing them. The fries were hot and soft, so that was positive. The garlic aioli was basically mayo. The pickled onions on the sandwich tasted funky and I normally love pickled vegetables. Overall really disappointed I wasted my one stop through Asheville here... read more

We were staying at the hotel on our drive from Indiana to Florida, and decided to have breakfast at this hotel restauarant. It was beautifully decorated and the staff were very friendly. The breakfast menu offered about a dozen of the standard breakfast options. I had a three egg vegetable and cheese omelet that came with potatoes and toast. My husband had classic eggs Benedict, with potatoes. Both dishes were plentiful and tasty. We would definitely eat here again if we return to the area. read more

Hard pass unless you are a chip fanatic like me. Got the chicken sandwich and burger, but the only thing that appealed to me were the house-made seasoned chips. Yup, I wouldn't buy anything else. Plus, this restaurant is located inside of a hotel sooo, yeah it's not a stand alone spot you can bring your appetite to. read more

Nice brunch spot. Not a huge menu for the non-egg eaters, but there are some options. I went with cheese grits, turkey sausage, and breakfast potatoes. Everything was yummy. The grits were cooked perfectly and seasoned so nicely. The turkey sausage was flavorful (not bland like some turkey sausage can be!) and the breakfast potatoes were seasoned lightly as well. My guy had the "Build Your Own Omelette" and pancakes. Nice portions and again they were spot on with the seasoning. My mimosa was big and not skimpy on the champagne. The location is inside a Hilton and kind of wide open next to the front desk, but parking was plentiful in the area. Our server was Laura and she was so friendly and gave us happy vibes. read more

So easy to forget about this great restaurant tucked inside the Hilton Biltmore Park. Random I know but they have the best meatballs you've ever had either as appetizer or sandwich. Sorry they were gone before I could take pic. Trust me get them! Maybe it's the waygu. So tasty! Great drinks reasonably priced for hotel bar and restaurant. Waygu burgers excellent and some other great choices as well including salmon and Chicken pot pie that is very good. Enjoyed our carrot cake dessert. Staff were very friendly. Parking easy and convenient. read more

Food was not good at all and it took a long time even though there was hardly anyone in the "restaurant."This is in the lobby inside the Hilton. Food is mediocre at best - even the burger was bad. Definitely not farm to table; tasted pre-packaged and not fresh. Skip this place - there are many other better options. read more

Had a work dinner here and it was a great setting. We had about a dozen people and they were very accommodating not seating anyone else in our area. The food was great but I thought pretty pricey for what you got. $25 for a salad with salmon and I've gotten bigger salads for half that price but this is in hotel and touristy area. Staff was ok, waiter made me and coworker feel like we were putting him out when I asked for ice when he refilled our water. They never came by while we ate and asked if we needed anything and then while we were trying to talk business after meal he kept hanging around asking about dessert. It's not a place I'll pick to go back to but worker ok for what we needed. read more

Fork Lore - Bacon Angus Cheeseburger - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

The restaurant is very good for a hotel restaurant. We went in at 8 on a Thursday night and it was quiet. The waitress and bartender were very nice. My dad and I got the trout. It was good, nicely simple, allowing the trout to take front and center. Sides were good as well. Husband had a fried chicken sandwich and after the first bite was extolling it's virtues. Wine was EXPENSIVE but the ones we had were very good. I do suggest you were long pants or bring a sweater/ sweatshirt. The a/c was on full and it was cold. Would I go here again, dunno. There are so many options in the area, I might look around first. read more

Wow! This gem is tucked inside the Hilton and a delicious stop for dinner before a movie at the Biltmore Regal. We met friends and within minutes we were seated (we made reservations) and had menus. Highly recommend the pimento cheese and chips appetizer as well as the peanut butter pie for dessert! The bacon cheddar black angus burger came with a generous slice of delicious cheddar and the burger was tasty! Paired it with sweet potato fries- yum! The grilled chicken sandwich had a wonderful flavor and was on the tastiest bread! Paired with a delicious house salad and it was a meal that we'd definitely go back for! They have an extensive drink menu and while we had just water, we watched many interesting drinks come out! read more

My husband and I have eaten there several times when we are in the mood for a quiet venue! The atmosphere is nice, comfortable, and our food has been good. Our last meal I had a lovely chicken pot pie that was impressive when served, delicious, hearty on a cooler afternoon and plenty to take home for a nice snack. I also enjoyed a lemon drop from the bar that has become a refreshing favorite! Service is a little slow, but worth the wait! It is nice they honor the residents discount! read more

What a surprise! We aren't typically drawn to hotel restaurants and were surprised to find this in the bar of the Hilton. However, we really lucked out by going for a late Sunday lunch and were treated to a good solo musician just wrapping up their brunch service. Believe it or not, our burger was one of the best in town - and I don't say that lightly! The fries were plentiful (too many, actually) and very good. Check out this hotel bar/restaurant for a nice, casual meal. read more

Fork Lore serves some excellent Southern-inspired cuisine that's let down slightly by its glacial service. I've been here twice now: once for breakfast and once for brunch. On the first occasion I tried their Broken Yolk sandwich with potatoes. The sandwich itself was a sublime example of an egg sandwich, with particular attention paid to the perfectly-cooked bacon. The potatoes were basically just steak fries which were good but needed some more seasoning. The second visit I tried their Pork Belly Club, which is basically a club sandwich with pork belly instead of bacon (yes I know bacon is pork belly but this was not smoked or cured and sliced much thicker). The pickled onions and Lusty Monk mustard did a lot of heavy lifting in cutting the richness of the sandwich, which is easily one of the best I've had anywhere in years. If I went on food alone, it would be pretty close to five stars but on both occasions the service, while pleasant, was extremely slow. Especially on the second visit during which the dining room was mostly empty, it took almost 45 minutes for our fairly uncomplicated order to reach our table. I'll definitely continue to come here, but I'll make sure I have plenty of extra time in my day when I do. read more

Tried to go to one place for brunch but it was too long of a wait. Searched for places nearby and ended up here. Was a bit surprised to see it was in a hotel lobby when we walked in. Nontheless, we were hangry so there was no room to be picky. Would have indulged in a gas station hot dog at this point. Ok probably not. We walked in the side door after parking in the garage. Had to walk through the place to get to the hostess stand (a bit awkward). Then we waited there for a bit. Finally got seated (5-6 mins later). The server was kind and attentive after we were seated. We got some waters and noticed a game playing. The space is pretty classy and cute. Good big tvs and quite a few people for being past brunching hour. I got the breakfast sammy with over easy eggs and grits. I thought the grits were decent but nothing compared to what Asheville/the south has to offer. The sandwich was pretty good but the bred was mediocre. The eggs and meat options were delish. My partner liked the pancakes and the bacon side was pretty big. Good brekky potatoes too. read more

Fork Lore - Let's brunch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

I made a reservation there for dinner. When we arrived we were told our table was not ready yet because there were people still occupying it. They told us we could wait at the bar. Ok. There were plenty of other tables available but that particular one had 2 ladies who were long done with dinner sitting there with to go containers and no interest in leaving. The host was polite enough but if he really wanted our business he could have either sat us somewhere else or bought us a drink while we waited. Eventually we just gave up and left. read more

I took my wife on a weekend trip and this was the spot where Decided we would enjoy Easter Brunch. The servers were very kind and seemed eager for us to have a good experience. The two star review comes in regarding the communication between the kitchen and the staff. When our food arrived my wife had the correct dish. Mine was completely wrong. Mistakes can be made and I understand that but when one of the parties dishes are wrong that leaves them watching their partner eat while they wait. Our server was apologetic, and said she rang in the wrong order. Like I said... Mistakes can be made. However, when my food finally arrived, which was a "broken yolk", breakfast sandwich, the egg on it was hard scrambled. I may be wrong but a broken yolk sandwich. Sounds like one that would have an over easy egg on it that the yolk could be broken once I received it. The sandwich also boasted Biltmore dairy Farms blazing cheddar. I could hardly see any cheese on the sandwich at all when I got it. I may have chalked this up to just a bad experience and our situation, but the table next to me got their meal for free because his food was not good. The table on the other side of me were expressing the fact that they felt like they had been forgotten about. How to say this... We have been to Fork Lore twice in one visit. Our first and last. read more

The food is always good. Love the people here and the drinks at the bar are always superb. Hoping they recover soon from Hurricane Helene.

This little gem is located inside the Hilton Biltmore Park. I must be honest-I stayed at the hotel Thanksgiving night so I only had drinks but they were great drinks and the bartender even made me something based on what I like and it was great! He even gave me a couple slices of pumpkin pie that I had to taste and it was tasty! Definitely my go to hotel and bar when I'm staying in the area. read more

From the time I arrived to the time I left, I felt like I was the server's VIP. The breakfast that I had was delicious and filling!

The staff are very nice here but I was forgotten on the patio towards the end of my meal. I did return but decided on take away for the second meal. I ordered the crab cake sandwich with a salad and sweet potato fries on my first visit. The fries were good, the crab cake was large but the sandwich on an onion brioche was soft and there was no contrasting crunch. Toasting the inside of the bun and adding some regular or watermelon pickles or perhaps crispy onions with a different bun would help. The salad was in a small bowl with large leaves of lettuce so hard to eat. I wouldn't reorder. I also tried the cheese grits and they were runny, flavorless and the cheese wasn't melted and stirred in to the grits. Just pathetic. The second visit I ordered the steakhouse burger and it also was soft and the crispy onions were no longer crispy. I ordered the sweet potato fries again and they were good but the burger was average because it was kind of soft and soggy. read more

Fork Lore started out my day off right three mornings in a row. The head of house is so friendly, and our server had the best attitude. The pancakes here are so delicious. They have the perfect texture, and were bursting with super sweet blueberries. The goat cheese omelet is very flavorful with a ton of goat cheese. The home potatoes are way too fried for my choice, so I subbed out fruit. My vegan BFF ate the vegan bowl, oatmeal, and avocado toast. She liked all 3 and added vegan sausage. Most importantly, the coffee is good. Love this place! read more

Oh my, very impressed with the food. The flavors scream southern cooking. The brunch starts at 11am which you can reserve for, if needed. The shrimp and grits is definitely perfect!

Oh yea, the breakfast potatoes are some of the best seasoned potatoes i have tasted i a long time!! read more

I don't usually eat in hotel restaurants unless I'm staying in the hotel. I thought I'd pop into the Biltmore Park Hilton today for a quick lunch, maybe a salad. I wound up ordering the trout because I love trout. I was not disappointed. I also ordered braised greens and hoppin' John for sides. Beautifully prepared and truly delicious. The atmosphere is quiet and lovely and the service was excellent. The price is moderate for the quality of the food and it just plain smells good in there. I hope they can hang on to the awesome chef who prepared my meal. I can wait to come back. read more

I am staying at the Hilton so this place so very convenient for breakfast since it is in the hotel. It is very clean and I was greeted and seated very quickly.

I recommend eating here in you are staying at the Hilton. Good food and very convenient. read more

Great service and food! Classy place even though it's a hotel lobby restaraunt. Menu was interesting. Professional, very welcoming and efficient staff. Upscale feel to the restaraunt. We came for thanksgiving day and when a lot of places phone it in, Fork Lore did not. One down side was our table was close to the bar -- and well, you know how loud people who drink can be. Glad we were leaving when we were. And sad for whoever came next. Probably no way around this. If you can ask for a table on the other side of the partition, do. read more

It was a 25 min wait when we arrived. However there was a lot of open tables. The breakfast menu was super small but offered a brunch menu at 11. Things like biscuits and gravy were on the lunch menu but not the breakfast which was strange. They also put eggs on top of the biscuits and gravy which was strange. Our server maybe came by 2-3x the entire time we were there and it was to take our order ask us if we wanted refills after we had been waiting a while and to bring us our bill. Food was just okay. read more

Had the red beans and rice with tempeh. The beans were good but a bit under-seasoned; a little Tobasco sauce helped. I'm a vegetarian, so I chose the tempeh over the sausage. I appreciate having that choice available - I really do. I just have to say, though, the tempeh ruined the dish. The large pieces had an odd texture and were utterly flavorless. Note to restaurants - there are several veggie sausage options, and a few seitan choices, which are all way, way better than tempeh. For my sides I chose Brussels sprouts, which were very good, and garlic cheddar whipped potatoes, which were a little too heavy and lacked the cheddary zing I had hoped for. The ambience was pleasing, and felt both modern and clean. The hostess was warm and welcoming. And my server, Katie, was amicable and attentive. Thanks, Katie! read more
