Great local diner close to downtown...a good traditional southern breakfast...like going back in time. Near to Montford, Merrimon. and downtown. I pick up sausage biscuits periodically. Cheap. Love it. read more

Not a lot to expound on, but this place is a great place for your garden variety breakfast. Eggs any way you like them, toast, sausage or bacon. The potatoes were a nice surprise since I usually need hashbrowns to be well done in order for me to enjoy them. These were soft potatoes and I was a little apprehensive at first, but they had amazing flavor. Service was spot on, coffee was nice and hot, and we got out of there for less than $10 a person with a ton of food devoured. That's my kind of breakfast! read more

Wow! This is my new favorite Asheville diner. This quick service, off the beaten path restaurant makes a great breakfast. This isn't a slow paced meal though, they count on turning tables. The prices are very reasonable and the food is better than you might initially expect. That's why this place is a locals only type spot that is consistently crowded. I had a spinach and feta omelette, which was spot on. It was a huge portion of eggs, with a healthy helping of spinach and feta cheese, definitely not a disappointment. The potatoes were a little undercooked in my opinion but tasty non the less. The bacon was crispy and delicious. I was really impressed they had seeded rye bread, a personal favorite. If you want a quality classic diner style breakfast this is the place. It was a quality meal, reasonably priced and obviously popular with the Asheville locals for a reason. If you want a quality breakfast for a reasonable price I don't think 5 points can be missed. read more

5 Points Restaurant - Spinach and feta omelette, highly recommended - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

I got the biscuits and gravy, hash browns, eggs, and sausage. It was all very good. Went on a Saturday at 10am and it was pretty busy but we were seated quickly. Great place, highly recommend! read more

Splendid experience! Easter Sunday @ 10 a.m. was busy, but food was out super fast, server provided excellent customer service, and food was divine. Biscuits and gravy, bacon, home fries, and the pancake were superb! The restaurant runs like a well-oiled machine. Looking forward to coming back for the lunch and dinner options. read more

What's not to like about a southern restaurant established by Greek immigrants, that advertises Italian food plus all-day breakfast? Their menu is enormous, and it all sounds good. Who could decide between beef tips over rice, a gyro plate, or French Toast with a side of ham? The ham slice was large, tender, and tasty. The waitresses call you honey, and they know the names of their regulars, but the restaurant closes early. It is worth stopping for. read more

A hit! As is our custom, we asked someone who lives locally where to eat lunch & got this great recommendation. It's not much to look at, but it's a winner. There's a chalkboard menu, which I like. Lori got an omelet & I got eggs, bacon, & hotcakes. We were there at the lunchtime rush so there was a 20-minute wait, but once we were seated the food came fast & tasted delicious. The local fare is our preferred way to eat when visiting a city new to us, & Five Points made that effort worthwhile! read more

One of Asheville's BEST places to eat. Great food, wonderful service, great crew in the kitchen/behind the scenes. Bossman Louie has given all of us a home away from home for comfort food...excellent prices and huge servings. Delicious. Highly recommended to locals and visitors alike! read more

Visited 5 Points for the first time today and they run a top notch restaurant. The service is on point and the food is fantastic. This is a clean and comfortable diner and I encourage everyone staying in Asheville or passing through to eat here, you can't go wrong. read more

Nothing fancy. Hot food. Fast service and solid breakfast. These folks move behind the counter. Super pleased. read more

5 Points Restaurant - Hash browns on the grill. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Great service and American breakfast menu. Our food wasn't the warmest and could have used some seasoning.

Great food and service. The staff is amazing. The food is always hot and delicious. I am from NY and it feels like New York diner.

Amazing breakfast. If you're looking for a true family run cafe with amazing service and food you've found it! When traveling we always look for those off the beaten path spots and 5 Points did not disappoint. Breakfast is really cheap but the quality and portions are far from it. Their lunch menu also looked incredible with southern favorites! read more

This is not hyperbole. This was the best breakfast we've ever had. The omelettes were out of this world. Fluffy, buttery, and delectable. The pancakes were phenomenal. And the hash browns were amazing. Buttery with a hint of onions. And the biscuits were heavenly. Absolutely outstanding in every way. read more

See all

Found this place for Sunday breakfast. Great food! Diner with just great food. Worth the wait

Awesome food, on vacation and so glad we found this place. Highly recommend. Will definitely come back.

This place is great! So glad we came across this local gem. We came in starving and we couldn't even finish our food! We sat at the bar and the place stayed packed the entire time we were there. I got a Philly cheesesteak and my boyfriend got a gyro. It was so hard to decide with all options they had! We will definitely make it a go to stop when we're here in Asheville! read more

Food is OK, the hash browns were crispy and done the way I like them. Eggs cooked a little too much and the bacon was dismal. Small little thin bacon strips, like you find at a fast food place. Coffee was OK, would be better if they came around with a refill more. They do get busy here and food comes out fast, which is a plus. The pricing is low and the value ratio is good, so that makes up for the lesser quality ingredients. That is why people come back I guess. Service is harsh and with attitude by some of the servers. While they make you wear a mask when you enter and call it out if not. It is tossed out the window once you sit down and inside. They do not make people wait outside for a table and the area as you come in is very small, so people paying for meals, coming in, and delivery people picking up orders, are all crowded in one spot. Which is right next to the first booth that people use to lean on and wait, so while they make you wear a mask, there is no social distancing. DO not sit at the first booth, it should not even be in use. You will have people breathing down your neck and standing next to you while you eat. They have small booths that they add a small table at the end if you have 5 or 6 people, which makes it a tight squeeze between the counter and booths. When they do that, there is NO social distancing at all. They try and social distance at the counter, but what good is that, if they add a table at the booth and you are less than 3 ft away from the table behind you. Go for the value and fast food, but be prepared for no social distancing. They pack them in here. read more

Huge menu choices, sat at the counter. Expect to wait for a seat, but worth it. We had breakfast. Fun to watch the people behind the counter. They know how to get you, get your food. Would come back again. read more

Agreed with fellow reviewers. A very nice, solid, and generous breakfast at a VERY reasonable price. A lot of locals swung thru (on first-name basis) for breakfast in or take-out, which speaks volumes. We were welcomed and very well served at high breakfast hour (7:30-ish AM) with no fuss. Definitely a breakfast go-to... read more

Love it! One of my favorite breakfast/brunch places in Asheville. I like to sit at the counter so as to watch the the often furious activity going on at the grill and prep areas. These experts really manage to put out a lot of really good food in a really short period of time. That's a good thing considering how many other Ashevillians love this place. Want your bacon "limp" and your eggs runny? No problem. They will get it right and will do so quickly even when they're really busy. They're Greek-run so try them for lunch too. Yummy lunch specials every day. read more

What a treat this place was! I was just up the road visiting an engineer and was starving. If I could choose one type of restaurant that I like most, the diner type is probably it. I love omelets so I will go almost anywhere that is serving them for lunch. The place is quite small. I was lucky to find a spot out front but parking could certainly become an issue. Most of the tables were full so I sat at the counter. I looked over the menu, even though I already knew what I wanted. The Florentine omelet with tomatoes, spinach and feta was my choice. I got the potatoes and biscuits for sides. The omelet was delicious. Perfectly cooked with a decent amount of filling. The potatoes were not cooked enough and had no seasoning. I added salt and made it consumable. The biscuit was one of the best I've ever had. It tasted remarkably like the Pillsbury canned biscuits my mom used to make; flaky and soft and slightly sweet. Don't know if they are homemade or the canned variety, but they were awesome. Reasonable prices for large portions of food. Beware! You will smell like a diner and fried food when you leave due to the close quarters and the kitchen being open. But that can be a constant reminder of the delicious meal you had. read more

Five stars for BEST biscuits in AVL, relatively short wait times, super fresh breakfast served quickly, welcoming staff, it's all good here.

Best pancakes ever! We got typical diner food and it was really good. Would definitely go again when in the area.

One of the greatest breakfast I've ever had... Might go back for dinner ...staff was wonderful and the cooks were amazing.

We were in town from Atlanta for SoCon Wrestling Championships and didn't want concession food so we ventured out and were we ever glad we did! Obviously local folks cause it was packed but Louie and his crew if other Greeks turned it out ( they were constantly calling orders out in Greek) quickly and spot in. Most were eating breakfast we had HUGE lunch of lemon soup, greek salad and sampler platter. They had just sold out if Moussaka so we had a choice of doubling either the pastistio or spanakopita or substituting spaghetti. Home town, homemade Greek food and in and out in 40 minutes! Unbelievably good food for 2 under 30.00, we will be back for lunch next year. We snagged two stools at the counter and Ann Marie could not have friendlier and attentive. read more

Grabbed the eggs with chicken and it was so good! Great people! Feels like a dinner I'd find back home! High recommend! My husband has the French toast and loved it! read more

Visiting Asheville with young kids and this spot was a two min walk from our Airbnb. Honestly we loved it. Food was fantastic, excellent value, service was just great. Reminded me of a great diner back up north where I'm from. Would recommend to anyone in Asheville, or visiting. Going to fancier, more expensive restaurants is a lot of fun, but this was a great change of pace. Highly recommended. read more

This place has a great breakfast! I had a farm omelet with all the fixings and my wife had a sausage and cheese omelet. Both were excellent. This family owned restaurant has character. The open kitchen makes for a great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Fast service. Come here if you want food that's good and not overpriced. read more

Excellent diner with a menu that offers something for most. I had lasagna and Greek salad that were really good.

5 points is such a cute mom and pop! The menu has all that you really need! We walked in and everyone said hello! They have so many waitewsses ! The coffee came out quick! And the food was cooked in front! Very fresh and delicious! The best part was the biscuits! read more

Excellent food and service! We were in the area to play baseball at UNC Asheville and wanted something close to the field. The parking lot was packed (and a little precarious ), but our wait time was short. They had a HIGE menu, and everything tasted great! What a gem! read more

Ate here for the first time the other day. Im surprised I havent before, as a local. The service was wonderful and the food was delicious. I love little hole in the wall diners like this. I will be coming back. read more

I give it 5 stars for what it is. Freakin' filling and delicious breakfast at an awesome price. It tastes fresh and always hits the spot. Servers constantly fill up your coffee like there is no tomorrow. It's so affordable I feel like it's stealing, so I always tip more than 20%. Hippies who want a vegan, organic tofu omelette or whatever should probably just stay away. Let us enjoy our middle-class, semi-greasy breakfast guilt-free. read more

AMAZING RESTAURANT! All of the Greek dishes are great, especially the lamb gyro. Breakfast is perfect as well. The biscuits are homemade and to die for! Everything I order has always been on point and I highly recommend trying. The wait staff are over the top friendly as well. read more

A hidden little gem of Asheville, Five Points is my go-to place for a quick, tasty, and greasily-satisfying breakfast. Just blocks north of downtown Asheville, but miles away from the hippy restaurants. You won't get served room temperature, triple charcoal-filtered, organic, grass-fed water with your meal here. You'll get tap water with ice. And you'll enjoy it. read more

5 points is no 5 star. It's basic and the food is hit or miss. I've had over medium eggs show up from almost liquid to hard enough to use in competitive frisbee matches. read more

If you at looking for the local diner choice in Asheville this is your stop. Nothing fancy just good local diner food Breakfast is simple and to the point. Biscuits and gravy are a great dish that is filling not too heavy. Eggs were light and fluffy Son had pancakes which were sweet and their syrup was thick and yummy. Service was great and seating as expected for a diner. A few tables and sitting at the bar with a view of the cooking extravaganza Parking is limited so car pool if you can and and don't park in the Napa parking lot next door in fear of being towed If you are looking for a dive this is your place read more

DANG that was one of the best omelettes and potatoes I've had in a LONG time. Quick service especially right smack in the middle of a breakfast rush and on Labor Day. We struggled to find a place to eat for breakfast with the busy weekend, and were told it was going to be 30 mins and were offered a chance to leave our phone number in case we wanted to go look for something else or they had a table sooner. Within 10 mins, we got a call saying they had a table! Thank gosh, because I was hungry. When we arrived, they cleaned the table and chairs down and sanitized everything which was nice given the covid pandemic. When we sat down we were immediately greeted and asked if we wanted anything to drink. After ordering, drinks were refilled and coffee was refilled without asking which we appreciated! I got the Greek omelette with gyro meat, tomatoes and olives and feta cheese with the potatoes. I fell in LOVE with the omelette and could barely finish, especially with the potatoes too! These were some of the best potatoes I've ever had at a breakfast place or diner. I added ketchup to mine which made it all the better. Definitely stop in and check this place out if you're in the area! read more
