Rubin and potato salad.  I already ate the other half!

Great food and atmosphere. A sure place to eat. I travel a lot and call this one to repeat.

Classic breakfast
Team KP S.

Second visit to the kitchen, and with food this good, there will definitely be more in the future! We visited on a very cold morning, and orders are placed outside on the porch before entering. That's fine in normal cold weather, but at 22 degrees the overhead heaters just don't quite cut it. I think this part of the experience could use a little revision. My wife had pancakes with vanilla syrup and sausage. I ordered the classic breakfast with eggs, grits, sausage, and toast. Everything was very flavorful. My only complaint was that my food was lukewarm. It seemed like my food may have been finished and sat for a few minutes while my wife's pancakes were completed. On a cold morning, I would have preferred a hotter meal, the grits weren't warm enough to melt the butter, and the toast was cold, so I didn't even attempt to butter it. That said, even with the temperature issue, the food was still very tasty, and given how cold it was outside, I'm willing to let it slide. Everything arrived quickly, and the restaurant itself is very quaint, set in an old home that is very clean. On our first visit, they offered chocolate chip cookies to go, and they were excellent! They didn't have any this time, but we'll be back again to try our luck. To those about to nosh, I salute you!!

Reuben Sandwich (GF bread, no Swiss) Potato Salad
Luca D.

Service and ambiance went well and the inside felt like being invited to someone else's house. I got a Reuben sandwich (with corn beef, sauerkraut and thousand island dressing) without Swiss cheese on GF bread, alongside potato salad. The flavors of the sandwich worked out well, but the bread I thought was a little soft. Regarding the potato salad, I usually prefer it warm and this was ice cold, but it was seasoned with paprika and chili powder, which gave it a good kick. Overall, this is the ideal diner-themed spot.

Big Boy burrito. Perfection.

Best biscuits in the South! Everything is homemade, local and fresh. Friendly, homey atmosphere. Come early before the biscuits sell out!!!

Big Boy Burrito
Scott D.

Louise's Kitchen deserves every one of these five stars. The food was outstanding, starting with the Big Boy Burrito. It was absolutely amazing, packed with flavor, and clearly made with care. This is the kind of meal you think about later in the day and wish you had another one waiting. The service was just as great. Everyone was friendly and thoughtful, and they even offered to bring water out for my dog, which was a really nice and unexpected touch. When we were finished, they also offered a to-go coffee, which says a lot about how much they care about their customers. Great food, genuinely kind service, and little details that make a big difference. We'll definitely be back.

Best Biscuits and Gravy with poached egg in America
Robert N.

This is my first review I have posted before leaving the premises where I had a meal. I am in Asheville NC supporting the community after the devastation caused by Helene. I had the BEST biscuits & gravy I have ever had. Due to the lack of clean water they use disposable dishware/utensils but that, doesn't reduce the quality, freshness and taste of the dish. The biscuits are perfect and the gravy''s consistency, and protein ingredients are flavorful and delicious I compliment the kitchen staff The wait staff is friendly and deliver excellent service.

French toast and fresh fruit with a side of bacon.

My hubby and I stopped here for brunch on our way down the mountain and I cannot rave enough. The food was delicious and came out fast even though they were full. The staff were lovely and attentive. We didn't have the kids with us but I will not hesitate to bring them next time. Seating inside is a little limited but I know they'd make it work. The ambiance was great. Very home cooking esque and cozy. Definitely give Louise's Kitchen a try and don't forget to try the vanilla bean syrup... Trust me.

Decided to try a new place. My daughter and I love Black Mountain so we decided to drive up early for breakfast. We chose Louise's kitchen. My daughter order the grit pancakes, delicious. I ordered a veggie bagel with egg, and we shared a fresh made cinnamon roll. The food was absolutely delicious. I forgot pictures of our food because we just dug in so quickly and gobbled everything up. I apologize. Next time there will be pictures. The coffee (nice and strong, yummy )and the service were great. The house is absolutely lovely. I love the ambience and sitting in what was once someone's home really adorable. Please don't skip one of their homemade cinnamon rolls. It was worth the drive to Black Mountain alone.

A very unique experience. You order as you go into the restaurant. As you obtain your seat, someone takes your drink order. The food was five star, the big boy burrito and the grit cake were amazing. When we arrived Saturday morning around 9:30, there was a line of about 20 people which was intimidating but it moved fast enough, especially understanding that they take your order as you enter. A must visit restaurant.

Everything was so, so good!!! We sat in the wine cellar and Luna was our server. She was super…read moreknowledgeable and answered all the questions we had. We started with the bread service. Delicious. Next was the cheese board, we were warned that it was a large serving, and while it had a lot of variety, I don't think it was massive based on other cheese boards we had. We split the Korean chicken and skirt steak. Both were exceptional!! When we're back in the area, we'll definitely plan to visit multiple times during our trip. My only complaint was how tightly packed seats are in the cellar. The table directly behind us was sat a few minutes after we were and the guests were VERY loud, so it was hard to hear each other in the small space. Not a knock on P&P, just people not being able to read a room and realize they were disturbing guests around them.

Pure & Proper was initially a charming little surprise. My friend & I chose outdoor seating on a…read moreFriday evening, & for most of our meal there was only one other group seated outside. The setting was lovely & felt like a great place to relax & catch up. The menu is small, but the selections are creative & surprisingly diverse...poutine, ahi tuna, Brussels sprouts, mussels, fried items, & more. If you have a dairy allergy or intolerance, however, your choices may be fairly limited. We ordered the Brussels sprouts, mussels, & ahi tuna, & honestly, all three were delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed the food & had a wonderful conversation throughout dinner. The table next to us was seated very close & was quite loud, despite several other empty tables surrounding us, but we didn't let that take away from our evening. Unfortunately, what happened after dinner completely changed my impression of the restaurant. We declined dessert, received our bill, paid, & tipped generously. About 15 min later, we were approached by staff & told that we needed to leave because another party wanted our table. At the time, there were still at least six empty outdoor tables around us. We politely apologized, thanked them for the wonderful meal, & left. My friend & I walked downtown Black Mountain afterward, & about 20 minutes later happened to pass the restaurant again. What I saw was disappointing: our table had not even been cleared & remained exactly as we had left it. It was still empty, along with several of the surrounding tables. Being asked to leave was not what bothered me. Restaurants need tables, & I completely understand that. What bothered me was being told that another party was waiting for our specific table when what I observed afterward did not support that explanation. If there was another reason they wanted us to leave, I would have preferred simple honesty. The food was genuinely excellent, which makes the experience especially disappointing. Hospitality is about more than what is served on the plate; it is also about how guests are treated. Unfortunately, the way our evening ended overshadowed what had otherwise been a very enjoyable meal, & for that reason I would not return.

We visited the deli/shop as the restaurant was closed. We stopped in to grab lunch. They have salads by the pound and premade sandwiches. Very limited menu. We ordered the Italian sub which was on crusty bread and warmed up. Very tasty. Since couldn't modify sandwiches and order without the bread, ordered a half pound of the chicken salad. It was good. Had berries and grapes with lots of herbs in it. Could have done without the grapes. Grabbed a bag of Bloody Mary chips that were tasty. They do have lots of wine and a huge drink case. There's also the market that sells lots of unique and specialty brands, as well as local brands. They do have several bakery items such as cookies and some lovely looking cakes available by the slice. This is a boutique style deli/store so be aware that that vibe is also reflected in their pricing. Nice place to explore.

Fun deli and great little restaurant. Amazing donuts and English muffing. Great staff.read more
