It has a hometown diner feel, which was welcoming. Our waitress helped me decide to try their fried chicken biscuit with the sauces on the side. The chicken was fried well, kind of thin, so some parts were a bit dry. The biscuit had a little spice flavor too it which was good. Grits were creamy but basic. Mimosa mason jar was standard and love the price for it. My fiancé got the Pisgah Bowl. Good flavor and cheesy but the pork itself was mediocre and a bit dry. He's had better from other local brunch spots. read more

What a terrific experience. Our big group of 12.5 (toddler) came in for Sunday breakfast and they accommodated us in the back room with great service and delicious food. There wasn't an empty plate on our table, so we all enjoyed what we ate including myself and the Fish and Grits. Easy walk down College from the AC Hotel if you're staying there. There is a separate menu for the weekends from the weekday so you may wish to look ahead. read more

The Med was a great diner type breakfast spot in Downtown Asheville. I usually order 1 pancake with whatever else I get, and this time was no different. However, I didn't realize the pancakes were as wide as the plates! The grits were great, the thick kind, eggs were scrambled and seasoned, and when I asked for a SIDE of bacon, I got a place of 4 big pieces (as opposed to 2 at most places). Service was great, will definitely go back next time we are in town! read more

The Med hit the spot for me as I visited a local joint while in town. Both me and my coworker order the Bodega. I had mushrooms added to mine and the cook was nice enough to put one on top of the brioche bun which was a perfect combo of soft and crisp. This was the best thing I ate while visiting. The service was fast and courteous. Even though it has street parking only it was worth the visit. read more

The Med - The bodega with mushrooms ‍ instead of ham - Mediterranean Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Minus the outdated entrance and bristly hostess- our server took care of us like a life long friend. I am not 100% sure what the Hash Bowl was, but it was delicious. The poached eggs on top were spot on. The potatoes were crispy, the sauce was flavorful, and I am still thinking about it two days later. In my opinion, the Bloody Mary could use a little more seasoning, but I tossed it back anyway. Get there early- the food is memorable. read more

Before our trip back home we wanted a simple but solid breakfast before checking out of our AirBnB and this place had a lot of reviews, so we gave it a shot. At around 9am on Sunday there was no wait which was a plus. We were seated in the back room which is quieter than the front of the restaurant. They didn't have a kid's menu (but do have high chairs) so we ordered a few side options for our son (sausage and fruit) versus his own plate. To eat I had the Bodega breakfast sandwich and my husband had the breakfast plate. While I enjoyed my sandwich my husband wasn't a huge fan of the quality of bacon nor sausage which was surprising since he loves all things breakfast. Service was good but all in all this isn't a place we'd likely return to in the future since it was really "okay" at best. read more

Perfect breakfast spot in Asheville. I went there last while my son was sleeping, just had a spicy bloody Mar a side of sausage, and a side of bacon. Was perfect, so I came back next day and did the same thing. read more

Craving some Diner goodness before rolling out of Asheville or a morning treat to get you moving? Unassuming diner Americana with scratch made food that tastes even better than it smells & prompt service with a smile will keep you coming back. French toast is thick cut and oh so good. And any of the bowls are big enough to share. Small place - and worth the wait (if you have one). Don't miss the Med! read more

A friend and I came here for breakfast last Wednesday and enjoyed the food. I liked the French toast that I had. I definitely recommend ordering the blueberries and maple syrup with it My friend is on a diet that doesn't allow bread so they gave me their biscuit. The biscuit was okay. I wasn't a huge fan of it. My friend switched out the side of potatoes for a side of sausage and got an up charge for it, which was interesting bc their menu had the side of potatoes costing more than sausage. But it wasn't a big deal. My friend loved their royale scramble I liked the diner feel inside. Service was okay. The host and server weren't very friendly, they had an all work and no play kind of attitude. They got the job done though. I guess you could say they really wanted you to have a genuine diner experience. Lol The hustle and bustle in the diner and the lack of enthusiasm service-wise kinda made me feel like I was just a dollar sign there. Which I guess to workers, you usually are (which I understand). It just seemed like they wanted you to get in and get out. Which doesn't really make me wanna come back that much. I rather feel welcomed than feel like my friend and I are wasting prime table real estate. Feeling like a nuisance just kinda ruins the vibe for me ya know? Loved the cat sign outside. My friend and I mostly enjoyed the experience but I'm not motivated to come back due to the service I guess. If it was quiet in there that day and the servers/hosts weren't as motivated to fill our spot back up our visit probably would've gone smoother read more

Came in for an early lunch - very cute dinner vibes with quick service and food comes out quick. We got the gyro wraps - the lamb one was great but the chicken one was just ok- not bad but not a stand out. The side greek was great and fresh. read more

Came here for brunch with friends and the food was delicious. The place is small, so I would avoid trying to take a really large party, I know they had seating in the back of the restaurant but I couldn't see it from where I was. It gives an old school vibe a. We all loved our food. The staff was really nice and answered whatever questions we had. I do recommend grabbing a reservation if possible because they were busy when we we t around 11am. read more

The atmosphere of a 1960s diner with traditional breakfast items as well as new-style breakfast bowls. It was a great experience!

We were looking for a breakfast location and happened to come across The Med via yelp reviews. We decided to check it out and love the diner feeling this location has. We came in on a Thursday morning roughly around 11 AM and we were greeted and seated promptly. This location is tiny so for larger groups, it may be hard to accommodate. For breakfast I opted for their Western Mojada scramble. The egg scramble were full of peppers and onions and tomatoes and it was a nice compliment with the potatoes and the biscuit. Potatoes were absolutely delicious that nice crisp on them exactly what you would want in a breakfast potato. My husband got the scrambled eggs and bacon and a pancake. The pancake is literally the size of a plate, so you really only need one. The pancake was very dense and as much as my husband loves pancakes, it was hard to get through it. He also got a side of grits, and they are by far the best grits that we've had since being in Asheville. Great seasoning and great consistency. The staff are absolutely wonderful! We were never ignored, and all of them worked together so well that it was a pleasure to just watch them work. read more

The Med - Western omelette and potatoes sooo good - Mediterranean Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

We went to The Med around 10 on a Saturday and had about a 30-minute wait, which wasn't too bad for the weekend. Once we were seated it took a while for someone to take our order, but our server was nice once things got going. We started with the fried green tomatoes, and they were honestly some of the best we've ever had. For our main dishes we got the hash bowl and the biscuits and gravy, and both were just okay. They looked like they'd be really good, but the flavor didn't quite live up to the presentation. Overall, not a bad experience, but a little underwhelming--we left wishing the rest of the meal had matched the quality of the appetizer. read more

Went in here looking for something amazing, and while we were let down from what the other reviews promised, it was still good food overall. Service was a bit on the slow end (had to wait nearly an hour to get a table, and then food took a while to come out as well). Food was hit or miss depending on what you ordered. read more

We walked past this place yesterday while exploring town and it was around 2pm, which is when they close. However, there was an employee bringing out trash and invited us to come back tomorrow (today). Arrived on Saturday morning at 8:15 ( they open at 8) they were already almost full. Food is extremely fresh and healthy tasting. Had the hash bowl and it was full of flavors and completely devoid of oil and grease. It was remarkable. This is a must try. Does look like a greasy spoon, hole in the wall, but looks are very deceiving. Did I also mention it is reasonable. Must try read more

We're local and wanted a good lunch downtown. I got the egg sandwich and added a side of fries, and my spouse got a cheeseburger. The vibes are great -- a real open kitchen dinner, with crowded booths and a simple menu. The staff was attentive without being overbearing. Very good price for the quality of food. The drinks were not good though -- a flat soda and a burnt coffee. read more

Great breakfast spot with super attentive service. We got seated right away, but there was a wait by the time we were done. The grits were great , the waffles were first rate and the coffee was hot. Service was impressive as the whole staff made sure we were taken care of. read more

Joined a friend for breakfast at the Med. Waited about an hour to get a seat, and while waiting, got in trouble (over-shopped) at the amazing store next door. Make sure that you call ahead and get in the list! I ordered the catfish with collards and potatoes. The catfish was very good and the potatoes were delicious. I think the best (home fries) I've ever had at a restaurant. They give you a generous serving of half sized potatoes. The collards were not my cup of vinegar. Too much vinegar and spine. I dislike the spine included on most leafy veggies. I also had a cup of hot chocolate that was good too. My friend had an omelette and she thought it was okay. I enjoyed my food and would go back when in town. read more

Adorable little diner in Asheville! Has such a small town feel to it and the amazing food will keep you coming back. I got the veggie scramble with side of home fries and biscuit. Those home fries were probably the best I've ever had, perfect crisp to them! I loved that you could order just one pancake or one slice of French toast because that was perfect for my 1.5 year old. My husband and I also tried her French toast and my husband thinks it's the best French toast he's ever had. It's crispy on the outside but not too thin. Highly recommend this adorable little spot! FYI they also take your number to save your spot on the list which makes it perfect for when you have little ones. We just took a few laps around the block and then our table was ready read more

Solid breakfast choice with a long wait on weekends. It's a cute little diner in Asheville, so I love the vibe of it. I got a breakfast burrito and the breakfast potatoes. Other people in my party got chicken and waffle, scrambled eggs, and bowls. Everything seemed a little over cooked...maybe because they were so busy? I think this place has potential, so maybe I came at the wrong time. read more

Super-nice place! We had breakfast there, and it was enjoyable and light and easy. Great food and service.

Got there about an hour before close and had a short wait. I had checked out the menu ahead of time and was pretty excited about the breakfast salad (Arugula, house pickled veggies, bacon, breakfast potatoes and 2 eggs any style.) which did not disappoint! My friend had the hash and enjoyed it and the Bloody Mary's were on point! I'd def go back to try something else! read more

Let me start by saying, I am a connoisseur of fried green tomatoes. I have had more than an acceptable number of fried green tomato dishes, and this one from the Med hits the top 5 in a heart beat. Super crisp on the outside, and the perfect balance of salt, acid, and creaminess from the sauce. As far as the service went, I had a lovely time. I was brought a water immediately after sitting down at the counter and brought a coffee as well. Despite being pretty busy, I felt very taken care of and paid attention to. The cold brew was delicious, and my food came out not 5 minutes after I ordered, and I got to see them make it right in front of me. This place itself was clean, and the environment was very upbeat in general. Everyone was enjoying their breakfast and chatting, and even the people sitting alone at the counter (myself included) were enjoying themselves. read more

The Med - Fried Green Tomatoes (delish) - Mediterranean Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

We stopped here for a late breakfast one day while on vacation. Someone at our hotel has suggested it. When we arrived they were super busy, which is a good thing. We only had a 10 minute wait. They take your phone number and let you know when the table is ready. It's a very cute diner atmosphere. We each had coffee, shared the fried green tomatoes, ordered a taco place w/tofu and no egg and also ordered the fried chicken biscuit plate. The coffee and food were nice and hot. Our coffee was refilled as needed. I heard the chef as our server if they should put cheese on the tofu tacos, which I thought was really thoughtful bc many people wouldn't even think of asking. We would have given 5 stars, but our food was surprisingly pretty bland. The food was priced well though. We'd definitely go back when in the area. read more

Small and cozy diner. The service was good--no complaints there. As soon as we got our food we started eating so no pics there. I got the 2 eggs with the biscuit and bacon + sausage. Everything was good but keep in mind this is a Mediterranean restaurant so the flavors are different than a traditional American breakfast. My partner got the hash and he said it was absolutely delicious! Mimosas were 12oz and cheap so that's always a plus. read more

EXCELLENT food for breakfast/brunch - we sat at the counter and watched this team that should be nominated for some sort of award for working together like an orchestra..... every single plate of food that went out to the dining room and counter was served FRESH and the chef/expediter would not let a plate go past her that wasn't PERFECT. I would go back to this place every day if I lived in Asheville! My husband had the pancake (yes 1 is HUGE - 2 if you're REALLY HUNGRY) - the pancake is as big as your plate. I had the chicken gyro - the tszacki was excellent - we had a side of bacon - excellent. I watched almost every plate come off of the grill - the fried chicken sandwich - buffalo style also, all of the breakfast dishes looked awesome especially the breakfast sandwich, biscuits looked incredible - OK, I just want to move into this place! read more
