Went back to Regina's on a Sunday for brunch. The place was packed, but the wait wasn't too long (reservations are recommended though). We had a great version of shakshuka, this one containing not just (poached) eggs, tomatoes and zug sauce, but also roasted sweet potatoes. While the taste was great overall, the sweet potatoes are what really made this dish outstanding. We also had the lion's mane mushroom sandwich with fries. The lion's mane mushroom had a nice outside coating. The weird consistency of the mushrooms was more noticeable in this dish though than in the dinner entree we had here before, where the lion's mane was used in a gnocchi pasta. But the taste was still quite good. The fries here are always good, whether their basic ones or the Japanese-style seasoned Totoro fries. Service as usual was excellent -- friendly and efficient.

What can I say I decided to try the Lions and tigers just as it's made and it is a true flavor explosion in your mouth! Our service was great we sat near the bar she was very attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And it's a very old school eclectic vibe![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Very fun, quirky vibes, food was great![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We really enjoyed brunch here. The biscuits were incredible

You will need a reservation and it will be worth it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you are the person speeding on Paton Ave in the west side then you will miss the pink building and the amazing experience within.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our small group of friends chose to celebrate a Valentine's dinner. It is a limited menu but you will find something that will make you want more. Several entree's serving portions are presented large enough to share in a family style. A variety of influences from different cultures and many options of protein are from farms in North Carolina. It didn't take long for me to choose the burger with a side of Pecorino fries. After eating the focaccia bread, I wasn't able to save room for dessert but all the reasons to return. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A lovely spot for a cute date night, a great spot for a cocktail to start a relaxing evening or just need a a break and enjoy amazing food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

the food was absolutely 10/10. the kitchen staff absolutely know what's up. HOWEVER the front of house staff is absolutely abysmal. We were left alone the whole time and the server made us feel like a burden. it wasn't even busy or anything i think she just didn't like us? we didn't see her until we were pretty much done and i gave up getting anything else (like a refill). TLDR: food is great but service is not i hate to say. read more

This was my first time at this restaurant. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's fairly cute and in a retro style. With retro pictures on the wall.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The waitresses were lovely. They explained everything and they were very kind. We noticed them chatting with other people at other tables throughout our meal.. I ordered the chicken and waffles and I am sad to say that the chicken was very bland and the waffle was downright dry. My daughter had an egg dish our waitress recommended to her and she said it was absolutely delicious. So I just may have chosen badly that day. Still, the place is cute and I would definitely give it a second try ordering something recommended by one of the waitresses. read more

I came here from a recommendation of potential new boyfriend. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was pretty dead inside but the service was very good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got a Hugo spritz and some rose drink, the Hugo spritz was a little dissapointing. My boyfriend god chicken and waffles and it was great. I asked how the flank steak was prepared and I was told medium, which was true, but it was also coated in sauce, which I hated. The steak itself was great, the sweet potato fries it came in was great, but I wish I knew it would be drowning in sauce. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The woman behind the bar and the man who sat us were great company, and it was very cute and cleaning inside!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

As I sit here for probably the 20th time in the last six months, I am continually amazed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you truly want to treat yourself to an experience in both food and ambience,, you need to look no further than Regina's[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Their specials are always special and their standard menu is equally as special. Don't miss out on a hidden jam and enjoy the amazing hospitality. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place rocks!!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Three thumbs up. read more

We are local but had never tried Regina's until tonight and will definitely be back! I highly recommend the Prosciutto, Garden Pickles, Gouda, Provolone, Flatbread, and Chili Oil Appetizer - It's Awesome! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service was also great, and loved the chill vibe[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. read more

Stopped in today for lunch based on a Yelp search near me. When I pulled into the parking lot I was a little underwhelmed, but decided to give it a try. I walked in and was immediately greeted and after a quick look I thought this could be good. I had a wonderful wait person who when asked made a few recommendations. I chose the fried chicken sandwich with pimento cheese and a side of their special sauce fries. Both were delicious and came out hot. Before leaving I took a look at the dinner menu and decided I'd like to give it a try on my next visit to Asheville. read more

A nice surprise. My family and I were driving around looking for a place to eat dinner when we saw Regina's. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I enjoyed the atmosphere the second I walked inside. It's warm, cozy, comfortable, and relaxed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My wife and I shared the chicken and waffles and were very impressed. It was the best we've ever had. My daughter enjoyed her cheeseburger, very much. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Nicholas was an awesome server! We will definitely return. read more

If you ever patronized the previous restaurant occupying this space, you'll be blown away by the transformation Regina's has wrought. Think diner, but with sophistication and a bit of playful swagger. The menu is rather small, but offers high-quality choices that delight and satisfy. Penny Cup, in my view some of the finest coffee anywhere, is featured. Service is attentive and friendly. read more

We tried Regina's on a rainy week day and easily found a seat. The waiter was extremely pleasant and competent. The pink interior walls are a bit jarring but the banquet was quite comfy and welcoming. Honestly one of the best biscuits I've ever had. It came loaded with bacon, scrambled egg, and gooey cheese. My husband had the biscuit with perfectly seasoned gravy. The local roasted coffee was also delightful. This was a perfect diner meal, and we will definitely be back and may try a lunch sammy next time. read more

I was really excited to try Regina's because I love little local spots! [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's a precious little area out back with tables if you choose to be outside, also seating throughout the restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] After reviewing the menu and asking the server a few questions, I was a little bummed as there wasn't really a vegan option listed. I did really appreciate that the server offered to double check items for me (this is unfortunately pretty rare). I was going to just go with a nice iced latte, but the chef offered to cook something for me with fresh veggies from the garden! They made a really nice sandwich that was the perfect lunch. I love that type of service, it makes me feel special and i will definitely be back because of it. read more

Regina's is a hidden gem. It's off the beaten path, but very accessible. Somebody had a brilliant concept to level-up a comfort food diner, and they executed beautifully. Do yourself a favor and order the home fries for the table in addition to whatever else you're ordering. They are SPECIAL. We had chicken and waffles, breakfast burrito, and a make-your-own-plate including bacon, avocado and toast. When a diner is acing all the basics like this, you can't go wrong. Bacon is crispy. Avocado is ripe. Toast is warm and served with room temp butter. THE WAFFLE TASTES AMAZING BECAUSE THE BATTER IS FERMENTED FOR DAYS BEFORE GOING INTO THE IRON!!! Also, I've rarely had service as good as the staff provided. We mentioned an ingredient sensitivity at the beginning of our meal, and each server we interacted with was aware and responsive. Plus, they are all friendly, attentive, and seem like they really want to be there. It feels like coming home to a rockabilly family that takes their meals seriously. Well done! read more

Visited Asheville from Brooklyn and had some amazing meals, but this was my favorite restaurant by far. Unforgettable. We ordered 6-7 things to split and every single thing was delicious. It's all seasonal and feels like it was made especially for you. There's so much love in that kitchen. Chrisi our server was so sweet and told us exactly what to order. She will not steer you wrong!!! Will 100% return the first chance we get. read more

The Hot Honey Chicken sandwich was to die for!! Delicious biscuits and gravy as well. Highly recommend dining here. To top it all off, the service was the best part. Very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. The chef even came out to see how we enjoyed everything. We may only be in town for 3 days, but we will be returning again tomorrow to try another dish. Day 2: We just had to return and we were Not disappointed at all!! Sarah as per yesterday and I'm sure as always, was an absolute delight. The vibe on a Sunday morning was a fun and positive energy that we left with. Breakfast was great!! read more

First and last time. Service was great, food was so so nothing special and the prices are out of this world.

Yes! Another great breakfast joint! Regina's is wonderful in every way. From the service/staff and decor to the food. Love the decor so much. Ultimate mid century look. I had the pork loin hash and my husband had the shrimp and grits. Can't go wrong with either of these dishes. The pork loin was almost like pork belly. Comes with a yummy dill sauce. Shrimp were a great size and grits were cooked right. Very good portion sizes. read more

WOW! The food here is simply AMAZING, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the atmosphere is GLAMOROUS[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], and the staff? FIERCE!

The head chef and owner mentioned that much of it comes straight from her very own garden. If you're looking to support local and enjoy a superb meal, this is THE place to be! I'm already buzzing to come back and try their brunch! read more

Get used to coming here because Regina's in going to become an Asheville staple. FAST. This cute pink building has been revamped into the modern dinner of our dreams. Although this place just opened they are hitting hard on all sides. The decor is on point, modern, timeless and charming. The food is wonderful. They have a smaller menu but honestly I don't even think it needs to expand. It hits all the flavors, textures and traditional diner foods. But modernized. I stopped by here for a quick lunch but I'm so excited to come back here for dinner. The bar is fully stocked and has all the things. And if you have a sweet tooth, they have you covered with some really yummy cookies and ice cream selections. Don't walk. Run. read more

Absolutely rocks every time. Respectable portion sizes, and delicious flavor combos. The staff are always incredibly attentive and friendly, not to mention eager to help if you're stuck between 4 things as I often am.

Love Regina's. Had no idea a chef with some chips was cooking at this spot. Everything was tasty, creative and our plates had so much finesse. Wow!

It was just okay. The decorations and ambience was cute and stylish, which I enjoyed along with the super friendly staff. The food was alright but it was nothing original or worth the higher price points. Egg and cheese biscuit was ok, grits were a big no but coffee was good. Wouldn't go back but not the worst place in Asheville. read more

Came to Regina's for breakfast the first, and last, time. We like to support small local businesses, but not be ripped off by them. The host/server was exceptionally welcoming and friendly. But when you have to order at the counter, you don't expect to pay these high prices. And the menu is very limited, not even offering eggs and bacon breakfast plate. I had a waffle, which was delicious, but they didn't have sugar free syrup. Overall, an experience that will prevent us from recommending Regina's to anyone. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is a bit tired, but nostalgic[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], sausage egg biscuit is gigantic. Fluffy eggs, great crispy home fries, bloody mary too heavy on pickle juice. Seemed understaffed . read more

This place is lovely. Love the vintage design and I'm not typically a fan of pink but they did it right. It really looks amazing in here. Got the fried chicken biscuit sandwich which was huge and delicious along with a perfect for summer berry vodka cocktail. FOH was really sweet and helpful. Will definitely be coming back for brunch with my besties Heads up, this place is counter service only. read more

Regina's Westside - Club sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

We really wanted to love Regina's, but with two severely overcooked chicken dishes without flavor, we were disappointed. The social media images for Regina's make it look tasty and adventurous for diner food, so we were excited to try it! However, I ordered the chicken and waffles, but the chicken was so dry that I had a very hard time cutting it on my plate. The waffle had very little taste beyond a standard Eggo one could make at home. The service was mediocre and the dishes, including drinks, were very overpriced. Decor was awkward, but that wouldn't deter us from returning if we could get good food. read more

What a disappointing experience. Came on the advice of a local. Since we just moved to Asheville we wanted to give support to this local business. The menu was limited, the food was expensive and we don't like going out to breakfast and having to order at the counter. The ONLY positive was the personable young man who took our order and delivered our food. Unfortunately we will not be returning or recommending it to anyone who asks for breakfast suggestions. read more
