Came to 5 points with my wife and we loved it. The food was great and came out quickly. Get the biscuits with some local honey. They brought us back for our second breakfast the very next day. We even participated in a Happy Birthday celebration for one of the cooks, "the egg guy ,Danny". Here is where you find the locals eating read more

Overall - the breakfast was good - but nothing outstanding in my eyes. We got a feta/spinach omelet (+ grits) and 2 pancakes + well done bacon. I liked that the omelet wasn't one of those massive large ones that get dried out. I loved the well done bacon. But the other aspects were just okay. read more

I think I found a favorite eating spot!!! The service is fast and the food tastes home made. I went for breakfast and had the country fried steak with 2 eggs and home potatoes. The biscuit was delicious and speckled throughout with butter. So delicious. The coffee was also so good. I can't wait to go try the trio Greek plate tomorrow! read more

Love their fried chicken. I had it once my first time there, at the end of October. I spent two months in Greenville looking for good fried chicken and all I could say is the whistle stop Café in travelers rest was very good, and gray moon, and Greenville, but I like five points the best! Made to order so you have to wait about 20 minutes, but totally worth it. On Saturday you get three sides! Happy to be back in Asheville! read more

5 Points Restaurant - All white meat, fried chicken, with 3 sides (Saturday special! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Amazing breakfast! We enjoyed the California omelette and the farmer omelette with potatoes and biscuits as the sides. We got a side of gravy to go with the biscuits. Everything was delicious! The food came out fast and service was on top of it! Great prices and portions too. read more

Not surprised to learn upon arrival that this place was absolutely packed. But it's a diner and as such, it has a counter and in my good fortune, there was a space for me. A server with a big smile took my order and before you know it, I had coffee and orange juice. I ordered the eggs benedict and the home fries and crispy bacon. It was a perfect eggs, benedict with just the right amount of lemony Hollandaise sauce. My coffee never stopped below half full. I'm a big guy and there are two other big guys to my left and my right so I have to say it was a little bit tight. But I still had plenty of room to eat. Very fair pricing there. I will definitely be going back. read more

Just a really good solid breakfast everytime. Good service, nice people working there.

Excellent diner for breakfast! Hubby got the Greekland omelette and loved it! I got the pancakes they were fluffy and good. It was crowded and a local place on a Saturday and I see why. The food is yummy and quick! Recommend if you like a good diner ! read more

If you're tired of waiting in line for breakfast behind throngs of out-of-towners elbowing their way into the sometimes overhyped "latest and greatest," check this place out. It doesn't get any more local, any more authentic than 5 Points, where they've been welcoming 828ers since 1972. Grab a window booth or enjoy the artistry of the chefs from a front-row seat at the bar. No molecular gastronomy here, no 24K gold dust sprinkles. Just hearty, unpretentious, reasonably-priced eats that'll fill your belly and put a smile on your face. read more

Love the vibe here! The service is quick even though they are always packed with customers!

Great diner food. Service was not as prompt as we observed those around us order taken sooner at the bar as we were seated and waiting. they were busy but we did feel like we were forgotten as we had to let someone know we were ready to order. Besides that once order was placed food came out fast and was very good. Waffle 5/5 so buttery! Homefries looked so good I had to try them 4/5 well seasoned just wish they were a bit more well done. Pancakes 3.8/5 I prefer waffle over pancake. Be prepared to wait weekend mornings but the line seems to move quickly. Def recommend! read more

5 Stars - A True Asheville Classic! If you're looking for that perfect local spot in Asheville with great food, fast service, and a welcoming vibe, look no further than Five Points Restaurant. I stopped in for Mother's Day brunch and was instantly impressed. The staff was super friendly and attentive without being overbearing.

The atmosphere is old-school diner in the best way possible--laid-back, clean, and filled with locals who clearly know where to find a good meal. The prices are totally reasonable, especially for the portion sizes. Whether you're a local or just visiting Asheville, Five Points is one of those places you'll be glad you tried.

Five Points offers a good old fashioned "diner" experience. Friendly and efficient servers. We were able to get in quickly on a very busy Friday for lunch. Timing is everything. The food was good and sitting at the counter was entertaining. The cooks were slamming and jamming. I had a chicken wrap with fries and my wife had an open face roast beef plate with apple sauce and green beans. The only downside for me personally is the place is pretty noisy. My recommendation is to go to Five Points and get there early! read more

Nice little diamond in the rough. Good food and good service. My wife I both had omelettes

Solid old fashioned breakfast. Great service. Not many tables. They are packed. If there is a parking space, there is probably a table. We had coffee at our table quickly. I went for the two egg breakfast with bacon, grits, and biscuit. My son has chicken and waffles. Both were very good at a decent price. read more

Finally made it to 5 Points and man, I can't stop thinking about it. The perfect, affordable diner with amazing food and such nice service. We got the veggie omelette and French toast and they were out of this world. I'm already planning my next meal there. read more

This place is such a hidden gem! Can't believe I lived here for 5 years without coming here. Now we try to go once a week. It's that good. It's got that small town charm, warm friendly staff, old school diner feel. We always go on Fridays when Johnnie is working. He is our favorite server. The owner is so nice too and usually in there. Everything we have tried is amazing. read more

This place doesn't look like much from the outside, but the amount of people in it and also doing takeout. Will tell you how good their food is. It's nothing fancy, but it was tasty, quick, and they give you plenty of food. I didn't want much so I had the tuna salad sandwich. It was pretty good. my husband, had the biscuits and gravy with a side of home fries and said they were fantastic. read more

My retired Father wanted to go for breakfast to a spot he had eaten at for many years working downtown. We arrived around 8:30am on a Sunday to find a very popular & busy spot! The benches out front were full of folks waiting on a table. We were told it'd be a 15-20 min wait & received a buzzer - stood & waited. Note that if the parking lot is full, you'll likely not get in very soon. Lots of locals walk in so it can be deceiving just glancing over the lot. Expect a short wait. Tables turn pretty quickly here. When we arrived there was one spot available. It's worth the wait if you enjoy a solid breakfast, lunch or dinner. It's an old school diner type place. If you're solo or just two of you & don't mind sitting at the counter it's a terrific spot. We were fortunate & got a booth in a short wait. Food came out VERY FAST & everything was excellent. Really good coffee. They do things the way they used to & do it very well! Excellent servers & very well attended to. Made sure my 83 yr old Dad was happy. Love this spot. read more

Great food, wide selection, generous portions, fair prices with efficient service and friendly staff - no complaints!

We were only in Asheville for a short amount of time, but I am SO glad we found 5 Points for breakfast! I loved the atmosphere. Hustle and bustle and the ability to sit at the counter and enjoy everyone's hard work. My breakfast was so delicious. I enjoyed a little of everything, eggs, bacon, pancake, biscuit and potatoes. It was all perfect! We will be back to Asheville because we needed to end our trip earlier than expected. When we come back, this will be my breakfast spot! read more

This place is a gem! Loved the breakfast hustle and the food was great. Loved sitting at the counter watching them cook. Our food was solid and fast. We were joined at the counter by a charming regular who shared lots of fun stories. Will definitely add this to our list for a future visit, read more

The food was fast and fresh, service was great this cute diner seemed homey and I'm pretty sure the owner was working the take out counter which you love to see. Our kids were hungry and having melt downs and the server jumped right in and took our order and the owner stepped away for a second to try to help calm the kids down. Biscuits and gravy were awesome. The potatoes were different never had them cooked that way, but definitely something I want to imitate they were awesome. Eggs and French toast were perfectly executed and overall the portions and price were extremely fair. We would definitely come back next time we are in Asheville! read more

French toast: 3 thin white bread slices flattened to 1/8" thick $9?!?! You have got to be kidding me! Not going here again. Get rich quick on someone else people. read more

Smaller diner type family owned restaurant, with fast service and very good food. I took suggestion of waitress and ordered ribeye and eggs. It was much better than I expected. Steak had great flavor. It was a thin cheaper cut, so I ordered more rare than normal and it came out perfect for me. read more

Ate breakfast there today Dec. 30-2025. Have ate there oft and on for 60 years,they are so busy feeding the tourists that the quality of food has gone downhill. It is no longer the best place to eat. There is better places but I will not mention names because I don't want to draw the tourists to them and have them end up like 5 points. read more

What the Hell is the "Supplemental Fee" added to the tab? Notice how the owner tries his damnest to keep you from looking at your ticket? The Country Fried Steak wasn't fried, it was soggy and mushy like canned meat. Disgusting. The veggie sides are worse than canned. And the "waitress" was a frowning old grouch. This place used to great. The owner should have the guts to raise prices before adding BS chicken crap supplemental fees read more

Food was not good. I ordered a vegetarian omelette that had spinach, mushrooms, onions, green peppers, tomatoes & then I added ham to it. They do not know how to cook an omelette. They threw all that in the Egg. I basically got a flat egg with that cooked into it that is not an omelette. It was also burnt. I could choose between potatoes and grits. I chose the grits and that was the only thing that was delicious. You could also get biscuit or toast. I chose toast. The only reason I didn't give it a one-star was because this was the first time I was here. This place was started in 1972. I bet this pla e was the bomb years ago!! read more

I went to Five Points for the first time on a Thursday afternoon, an hour and half before they closed. I order their soup of the day (chicken and rice) along with a salad. Two hours later I experienced a sudden and totally unexpected bout of diarrhea. I have no explanation for it other than their soup of the day. That was the first and last time I will eat at Five Points. read more

The food and service is excellent. The atmosphere is a typical neighborhood dinner. Very enjoyable and easy to find.
