Impressive quality, price and quantity. Wait staff was great. Of all the places to eat in the area, this place should be on your short list!

Every thing is always dry and/or overcooked. Overpriced while mediocre

This is a local eating spot for me, only 5 minutes from my house. However, I have noticed recently there are some waitresses who like to stick to their pride rather than helping the customer get the right meal. I am also disappointed in the limited items on the menu that seem to be constantly changing. Amidst all the concerns I have for the restaurant, the food quality is still great and the breakfast options are amazing! GF and Vegetarian options available but limited. read more

This is an interesting adventure for Fairview. The service is very good and the food is excellent. Their outdoor tables give a breath of fresh air to spring in the country. We go there after church on Sunday AMs. They did not offer the omlet I wanted but were more than willing to make it. read more

Absolutely love this place!!! Don't let the fact it's attached to a gas station deter you from checking this place out. I promise you that you will be amazed and glad you stopped in. I love the vibe of this place really cool atmosphere and enjoy the fact all the food products and meat come from local farms and businesses! The service is always on point been here several times and never had any problems with service. The staff is always up beat and have very positive attitudes. The cooks are amazing Terry is awesome and friendly and quite frankly cooks some damn good food! I usually come here for breakfast before work and always try the specials. My favorite so far was the Prime rib eggs benedict it was OMG good! Been coming here more and more for lunch and dinner! Honestly have to say everything I have tried I enjoyed and would eat again! If you are ever driving through Fairview stop in and check this amazing place out! read more

The Local Joint - The Fairview - Diners Near Me - Fairview, North Carolina

One of my favorite restaurants in the Asheville area, and I think I've eaten at almost all of them. My wife and I make the drive out to Fairview monthly just to eat some delicious food. The building is in a weird strip mall, connected to a gas station. Do not let this location fool you, it's where you find the best food. The service is attentive, the chefs are friendly, and the food is all homemade and locally sourced. It is really affordable compared to some Asheville restaurants. Some of my favorite items are the Big Bear breakfast biscuit (cajun chicken, smoked bacon, a biscuit, gravy) for 5.99!! The ribs on Saturday nights are juicy, big, and delicious. Great burgers, great dinner specials, affordable, delicious!! read more

This is quickly becoming the worst kept secret. Good for the restaurant but bad for me. Been for breakfast, lunch and dinner. All is good! Try the bear for breakfast. A Cajun fried chicken breast with sausage gravy, bacon and cheddar on a homemade biscuit. Dinner time? Try the local burger. Staff is top notch which matches the food. Don't be put off because it's part of a gas station, it adds to the mystery and magic. You'll never believe gas station food could be soooooo good! read more

Weve been going for 3 years and still enjoy The Local Joint but they seem to be falling off a bit. They really need to close for a day or two and give the place a thorough cleaning and a little TLC read more

Fantastic service, good quality food, generous servings and super clean. Excellent burgers especially the Local Burger and Buffalo Chicken sandwich. I was craving a "Patty Melt" not on the menu but they kindly made it for me. The string onions rings were amazing. We visit this area once or twice a year but this is our first try / time at the Local Joint. We will definitely return with friends. Highly recommended. read more

Atmosphere is wonderful and is a great local joint for Fairview citizens but some change in the menu or new additions would be appreciated. SPICE IT UP read more

Wasn't looking to spend a lot of money so chose the wrong place for that. Had to settle for a couple of appetizers for me and a friend. But both were awesome. Very awesome staff and a good setup. Something like an IHOP but with better food and way more expensive. read more

Use to love this place. Just drove out of my way to eat there. 11:40am....not busy. Basically a server for every table. I sat for 10 min and NO ONE came to greet me or ask for my order. This is the reason why as wonderful as some as the food is some of the Asheville restaurants are, the service is what destroys the business! Needless to say I left.... read more

Very unassuming local place in fairview... But without a doubt, one of the best meals we had all week while visiting the area. We had the shrimp and grits and Cajun fried chicken, both very creative, flavorful dishes packed with local ingredients. And bonus, they have local brews on tap. The employees were nothing but helpful and charming... A must stop for anyone in the surrounding area! read more

Great little 'find' off the beaten path in Fairview, NC! Lucky for those who live nearby. It's got kind of a metro-urbane vibe for a place attached to a gas station. Only a brief wait on a Sunday at Noon, but totally worth it. My first time here & I chose lunch instead of breakfast, although a crab-cake & grits special sounded great, with a jalapeno, cilantro & cucumber cream sauce drizzled on top...yum! Instead I had the Local Burger with caramelized bacon, blue cheese & garlic aoli. Everything was of good quality: nice sized local-meat patty, nicely toasted bun, tasty aioli served with house-made sweet pickle chips and house-made potato chips. The house-made potato chips were great, and I'm not usually a fan. Also important: strong, clear brewed iced tea. Hooray! My friend got a version of eggs Benedict & declared it fabulous. Her dish came with home fries and although they don't look special they were crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside with a nice garlicky punch. They serve locally roasted coffee, which was also a hit. Lastly, the carrot cake was to die for! Very moist, no coconut in it but lots of carrots & pecans and a delish cream cheese icing. I'm a foodie & I couldn't quite place how it was made so moist and with apparently so little flour. $5 a slice but worth every penny, just like waitress said! I will definitely be back to check out the breakfast & to try some of the specials. I like the early hours too, open at 7AM even on Sundays. read more

2nd breakfast in as many days here. This place is amazing. The big bear is one of the most tremendous breakfasts I've ever had, the local scrambler is awesome, and the waitresses are pretty! read more

A great little place! Something for everyone - meat eaters and vegan. Good prices and delicious food. They really care about incorporating as much local as possible. I'd choose this place over any restaurant chain. The portion sizes are huge too- there's always leftovers. read more

Really good food! I had the black bean burger. (Which you have to ask them to make as a burger.) The patty is actually under the salads. House made and full of flavor. I had the chipotle mayo on mine. Highly recommended!!! read more

Chanced upon this place after a hike at bearwallow mountain, and we are so glad we did! My husband said it was the best burger he has had, and my chicken philly was out of this world! Reasonable prices, and they also have everything from local beers to sangria to bloody Mary's. We will definitely be back! This place is amazing! read more

This place came highly recommended by the locals. And they were right! Amazing breakfast and moderately priced. Can't wait to come by to check out their dinner specials. Will return very soon. read more

So this place was a very cute, eat local diner. The service was great and the food was great but our experience was quickly ruined. My girlfriends and I grabbed breakfast before leaving our weekend trip. My friend ordered a bacon egg and cheese biscuit. When it came out there was a long hair on the egg... Kinda gross so we sent it back. They were apologetic and She got a new biscuit within 2 minutes. She wanted to double check that there wasn't any hair in the new biscuit and there was the longest piece of hair cooked into the egg. We knew this wasn't the same biscuit from before because they showed us where the last biscuit was so they had to make her a THIRD biscuit. Just a heads up, the cooks have long beards and don't wear hair nets so check your food before you take a bite! read more

Great breakfast menu. I'd love to come back for lunch or dinner next time I'm in town. If you're here for breakfast, it's best to get there early as they fill up fast. The decor is a blend of old school diner and hippie. So very Asheville. I had an omelet and it was a great portion and the ingredients were flavorful and fresh. One of my friends got pancakes and they were huge! read more

Very disappointing update to a previously five star rating. Not sure what changed in the kitchen, but I have ordered their Fairview burger at least 25 times, exactly the same way, medium rare, no garden. Loved it, my go to lunch. However the last three times, the burger was cooked well. Once, an oversight, twice, some concern, but today, both our burgers, ordered medium rare, came a solid medium for one, well for the other. Also, I think they are packing the ground meat too much, making it dense, not as loose as before. No more burgers for us, which is a real shame. Just be warned. read more

Typically a busy place, but for a good reason. The food here is delicious, surprised the crap out of me for somewhere attached to a gas station. I've been here a couple times, my favorite dishes included a filet over mashed potatoes, braised greens with bacon, topped with a blueberry chili goat cheese...UM EXCUSE ME? Came for breakfast to try the other end of the spectrum, and ordered the Huevos Rancheros...delicious and authentic. I'll keep coming here, without a doubt. read more

My wife had the best breakfast of the week here called the Big Bear. Mine was more standard , but also excellent. Best place out in the middle of nowhere to eat! read more

The food was amazing the poached eggs are great! BUT The service was terrible... I was there for breakfast with my best friends and my god son (he's 2). We were greeted pretty promptly and ordered drinks. While we were waiting we decided to put A movie on my phone for their 2 year old (secret life of pets!) when the waitress came up to take Our order i started to order and she VERY rudely cut me off and told (she did not ask) us to turn the movie off because she couldn't hear over the movie (which is playing on my phone at a very reasonable volume) she then proceeded to suggest we should have toys for him to play with?!?? Excuse me? But first of all what server/bartender can't hear over a phone playing? What do you do when it's busy in the restaurant? Tell everyone to shut up? It was by far the rudest experience I had ever had... I'm pretty sure she was the manager/owner... very unprofessional... I'm a bartender and I would never have been so rude... there is a better way to handle that situation... read more

This place is so good. I enjoy their breakfast very much, and the have a delicious selection of cakes for desert as every good diner type of place should. The staff was great and I look forward to returning even though every time I go there I have to sleep on my side for the next couple of days while the food digests. read more

Stopped in for lunch and had the Cuban Panini, very good! To reiterate other posts, don't let the location fool you!

We love this place. Great food. We call it ole faithful, cause it's always consistently good.

I had the Mahi fish tacos and they were amazing! The tortillas must have been made in house, they were delicious. Great food and staff, we loved it! read more

This small but awesome restaurant uses local food. The breakfast and lunch menu's are outstanding. I regularly eat the omelet called the local, it is always cooked to perfection, the grits that come as a side are also good. It is a lot of food but so good. I have had the reuben sandwich for lunch with home made potato chips. Great flavor, loved them both. Service is always quick and friendly. We love to eat here and go frequently. Highly recommend. read more

Amazing food. The shrimp and grits were great as was the Cajun chicken. The grit and homey cake was excellent. We also enjoyed the Brussels sprouts. read more

We love this restaurant! My children and wife always leave happy with thoughts of scrambles and omelettes dancing through our heads. Our pallets are like, "what! How did you make that biscuit.?!" We send our hippie nurse foodie Asheville love through pitchuli air to you. Untill we visit again, The Local Joint is on our must eat at list! read more

Best homemade hollandaise sauce! Try the friend egg sandwich with bacon it's to die! Great hangover food as well and daily specials are also great. I personally love their breakfast the most but lunch and dinner options are also very good read more

Just moved to Reynolds area and have already found a great place to eat! I had the special on Tuesday: Beer cheese Burger with onion strings and fries - excellent and the food came out fast. read more

This place was great when I first started going but it has gone down hill since. Good waitrons but poor execution of food.

It is really good. I like it. The food is good. You should eat there. Yum! Please eat there. Good. Good. Good. So good. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Go there now! read more

Great place!! Food is wonderful, staff is ALWAYSattentive, warm and friendly. The owners are always there and are upbeat, fun and they enjoy talking with their customers. Been going there for breakfast and lunch at least a couple of times a week and it never disappoints. Thrilled to have the Local Joint in Fairview! read more

As good as it gets. Food: Great Ambiance: Great Service: Great This is the real deal, can't wait to go back again and again! Even more reason to go to Rumbling Bald, breakfast en route and it breaks up the drive a bit. Actually the Local Joint is reason enough to make the trip to Fairveiw. But seriously, this is the kinda place you want nearby. Might even take the lady out for Valentines day! read more
