On my first morning in Asheville, NC, we came here to have a hearty breakfast with the locals. It's a quaint down home diner with personality galore. Our server Theresa was great, funny, nice, and fast. She kept our coffee mugs full and biscuits on the plate. I had the Mexican omelet (subbed chorizo for chili) with cheese grits and a single pancake on the side. The omelet was delicious with the perfect amount of chorizo, cheese, and jalapeños. The cheese grits were deliciously buttery and cheesy and exactly what I was looking for. The pancake was exactly how I like it, crispy on the edge and light and fluffy in the center. Also, the meal came with homemade biscuits and they were flaky, buttery perfection. I can't wait to come back to Asheville and I can't wait to come back here. read more

If you are looking for an easy going diner, this is it. Food was great, cheap, and in big portions. Our whole meal with tip was $30. We were full for hours. The sausage was so yummy and their home fries are kind of like mashed which was yummy too. Service was great! read more

I came to this place last month while I was visiting Asheville. I was craving local food and searched for a while until I found this hidden gem. They have a small parking lot for their customers. This is your traditional diner and you will definitely be surrounded by locals which is always a good thing. We were sitted right away, however, ten minutes after we arrived there was a line waiting (again, an excelent sign). We got a little bit of everything: a gyro with mediterránea salad, french fries, biscuits, french toast and eggs with sausage patties and bacon. Everything came out SUPER QUICK! Which made my fiance happy because I was being a moody grinch since I was hangry. I really liked this place and if I ever go back to Asheville, I will be visiting this place without a doubt. read more

It blows my mind that up until a few weeks ago, it had been like 10 years since I ate at 5 Points. I love me a little diner and was super pleased with my experience at 5 Points and can't wait to go back again. I actually went there because I was craving pancakes and assumed that it would be a great place to get a big ol' pile of pancakes hot off the griddle. But once I sat down at the bar overlooking the kitchen, I was mesmerized by the smell of greasy eggs and toast. I ended up ordering an egg and cheese sandwich with tomato, lettuce and mayo with a side of hashbrowns. I was not disappointed. Although this is such a simple food, oh boy, was I a happy person. The cheap american cheese melted on the over-hard egg on perfectly toasted bread....ohhhhhhhh yeah. That's the right stuff there. Nothing fancy, sure, but hits the spot! 5 Points is located on the corner of Broadway and Chestnut. The parking lot is small and kinda sucks, I highly recommend backing into a parking spot if possible so you can easily leave after your meal. It's really close to downtown and Whole Foods. The diner is pretty small but has a bunch of table seating against the window and back along the wall and there is a long bar with about 12 seats that overlooks the kitchen. This is the best spot to sit if you're alone or with just one other person because you can watch the chefs hard at work making meals. They're like a well-oiled machine, quick and efficient. The serving staff is friendly and quick as well. I had such a great experience here and am already looking forward to going back soon. read more

After dropping a friend off at the hospital at 5 AM I looked for an all night diner and settled for a Waffle House. But upon arriving there, the messed up homeless people looked like the zombie apocalypse had arrived. So I found this place which opened at 6. I settled in to wait and was surprised that at 6 there were 5 others waiting. Now I know why. This is the perfect diner. Clean, efficient, amazing hash, eggs not dripping in grease but looking like something I would cook, and crisp dry healthy tasty home fries from fresh potatoes. Even the coffee was good. They serve breakfast all day so I'll be back again --but not so early the next time. read more

We went to get a bite to eat right before they closed. The reason for my four stars was because they were not terribly friendly. Very brisk and to the point. They were probably afraid I was going to keep them from ending their shift. I got their fried shrimp plate with three sides. I got the green beans, cottage cheese and peaches. I do not know what they did to those green beans but it was some of the best green beans I've ever had! Ditto for the shrimp. It was a very generous portion as well, and I got two meals out of it. Certainly makes me wish I lived closer! We will be back next time we're in town. read more

I absolutely loved how quickly I got my food! This diner was amazing! The dinner I tried was the 5 point combo, it came with French toast, eggs (I ordered mine scrambled with cheese) bacon and sausage patties. It was just enough food for New Year's Day brunch. This was a great portion for under $9. The French toast was fluffy with a slight crispy buttery outside. Very tasty combo. Thought the cheese was going to come inside the eggs instead of on top. Still great service and great food. The doorway was also a bit small but we were seated quickly so I didnt mind. They were busy and still able to get the food out quickly.

It was delicious and refreshing. For dinner, we ordered the Kale Caesar Salad and Mortadella Pizza (formerly the Bologna Pizza...or vice versa). Both the salad and pizza were generously portioned and perfect for two of us to share. Let's start with the salad. O.M.G. It is one of the best kale salads -- if not THE best kale salad -- I've ever had. They took care to massage the leaves with the dressing to make them very tender, then it was topped with a mound of shredded Parmesan cheese. So incredibly tasty. If you've ever turned your nose up at kale, this will change your mind. Next up was the Mortadella/Bologna pizza. It was wood-fired to char the crust and then covered in sauce, mozzarella, mortadella, stracciatella, and pistachio pesto. Having recently been to Italy, these were all ingredients I was still craving. It was delicious. The food was crave-worthy. The drink menu is extensive. The staff was all really friendly and welcoming. And the atmosphere was awesomely funky. I'd definitely return.

I really can't believe I haven't rated this place. My husband and I have been here many many times…read more We love the Funkatorium! If you love sour beer, this is the place for you. They have a great food menu selection too. We got the fried barrata, which was super flavorful and yummy! Could have used more bread though. The bread to cheese/sauce ratio was off a little. They have a nice outdoor seating area, some of it covered. We will continue to come here!

We had the sweet sausage, a cheeseburger, and a Philly cheesesteak. Everything was just the way I remember from childhood. Walk don't run to this great little spot in Woodfin!

Walking in I was greeted with hello and a big smile. The menu was simple and straight forward!! I finally decided on the Carolina Hotdogs with fries. Everything was cooked to order. The smell of fries made me drive home faster lol. When I got home and opened the containers I was blown away of the size of the hotdogs. They both were grilled, topped with homemade chili and slaw plus onions and mustard. I could only eat one and of course the well seasoned fries. They are only opened 11am-3pm Tuesday thru Saturday.

All Day Darling is a 2025 Michelin-recognized spot, and what a surprise and cute name!!!…read more While exploring near Grove Arcade, I searched Yelp for a local brunch place and found this gem. Like many cafés in Asheville, it's a self-bussing establishment, so guests return their own dishes after eating. The cafe is charming, with plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating. The staff were warm, welcoming, and food was very good. We ordered drinks which was okay...next time I'll opt for water. Luckily, the Buddha Bowl and the breakfast sandwich served on a perfectly baked biscuit, and both were fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. I even bought their after-meal herbal tonic a try--not sure if it worked, but like to try it to give my stomach more energy and room to eat!!!

It's not often a breakfast spot makes its way onto my Michelin radar. So when I saw this bad boy…read morepop up during my first trip to Asheville, I knew I had to check it out. I figured I'd have to get there right when they opened to beat the crowd. Then I hit snooze about a thousand times and stumbled in a few hours later. Somehow there were only three people in line. While the cashier at the counter cut me off after I ordered two items, telling me I was "going too fast"... I thought she was about to ruin my morning. Turns out she was an angel, guiding me to the light. She recommended The Standard, which I assumed was just a basic-ass breakfast sandwich, then told me to get it on the biscuit instead of the bread/roll/bun/whatever. That flaky, buttery, soft biscuit made me feel like I was in heaven. And don't forget the herb mayo--the cherry on top of one of the best milkshakes... I mean sandwiches... I've ever had. The lavender, fairy-dust, moon-water, up-your-ass spritzer seasonal special or whatever the hell it was... also delicious. Such an amazing way to start my day that when I told my friends about it, they immediately wanted to go for lunch. I RARELY, IF EVER, EAT AT THE SAME RESTAURANT TWICE IN ONE DAY. By lunchtime I felt like I should've been getting employee discounts. Hell, it was so damn hot in Asheville I bought one of their tank tops after breakfast... then came back wearing it for lunch like I'd worked there for years. I'll spare you the details of everything we ordered, but let me tell you this: not a single complaint. And that's saying something with the group of professional complainers I seem to have surrounded myself with. If you're reading this, lady at the counter--you were right. I hope you're out there telling other lost souls they're going too fast... and to get the biscuit. Asheville might've gotten the Michelin recognition, but you deserve a star too. Verdict: I'd eat here twice in one day again

I recently met my friend here for lunch. She only had an hour break from work to go out to lunch, so we thought that we would try this restaurant to just get some fast, hole in the wall type food. The food was average for what kind of food they serve and the staff is friendly enough, but I give this restaurant one star because of how rude the owner was to us. He was cooking on the flat grill and keeping an eye on things in the front at the same time. Right after my friend got there @ 10 minutes after I did, we ordered and had our food in about 10 minutes. So at this point in time we had been there @ 25-30 minutes. We both finished our food, I was still picking at my fries and we were visiting a little. She was going to have to leave and go back to work in a few minutes so we were finishing up our conversation and planning to go. The next thing that I know, the owner is yelling across the restaurnant to his bus girl to take our glasses and tell us we had to leave. I could not even believe what I was hearing, It was extremely embarrassing and uncalled for. He was busy, but there was no one waiting for a table and there was even one table open. He wanted us to get out so he could serve anyone that might come in. We were paying customers too, but he was no longer concerned about that since we had already finished and were obligated to pay him. We had only been there approximatey 1 hour at this time and had not even been finished with our food for more than 10 minutes, I own 2 restaurants in the area and if one of my staff members EVER treated a customer this way, they would be fired. I will NEVER be back to this restaurant and if he keeps this up, he will eventually put himself out of business. The food is not good enough to put up with treatment such as this. read more

classic diner food and experience sums up this place. the staff here move at a breakneck speed but thats not to say they do a rush job or the food is bad. if you like eggs, sausage, bacon, grits, biscuits and gravy, pancakes etc. (i mean if you don't umm) this is the spot. As a new yorker that considers brunch at the diner standard at least one morning/afternoon per weekend, five points is a little slice of home in lil 'ol AVL. if you're tired of the wait at sunny point (no disrespect intended, theres a reason there's a wait #shrimpngrits) give five points a try. go on sat. or sun. morning for the true experience -p read more

The parking lot is smaller but there are still a lot of parking spots available. There are several spaces adjacent to building, including a handicapped space right next to the entrance. Other spaces are across a traffic lane. There is another handicapped in the corner of the lot not too far from the door but be aware the pavement in that area is broken and walking is difficult. There is also no sidewalk from this space to the door and the parking bumpers are in the way. If you do use this space, walk into the parking lot to get to the door. We were greeted as we walked in and taken to a booth. Seating is a mix of tables and booths, with a few seats along the counter as well. We were there a bit after the lunch rush so they were only about half full. Our server took our drink order right away and then gave us a bit of time to review the menu. She returned with our drinks and we placed our order. The food took about 10 minutes to be brought to the table. The Cowboy burger was a good sized patty cooked perfectly, seasoned well, and juicy. The bbq sauce was enough to taste but not so much it dripped as soon as you tried to take a bite. The bun was fresh and held up without breaking apart. The fries were cooked perfectly, seasoned well, and they did not skimp of the quantity. The Blue Ridge burger was outstanding. There were plenty of mushrooms and enough cheese to get some in every bite. The greens and tomato were fresh and added great flavor to the sandwich. The bun itself was very flavorful and certainly added to the overall burger experience. Fries also accompanied this burger and were just as good, being crispy on the outside and soft inside. Ca's is a great diner experience with wonderful service and great burgers. This is a must stop whenever in the area.

Coffee and water was brought quickly and our order was taken. I ordered pancakes, sausage, hash browns, and a biscuit. My wife ordered a kitchen sink type omelette minus the mushrooms. Service was fast and spot on with our order. The pancakes were hot and fluffy. Matter of fact, everything was hot and fresh and arrived in less than 7 minutes. Okay, so, this is not a knock or me saying the food wasn't good. It was average. To me, everything was pretty bland. First bite of hash browns I took, I tasted butter but by the end, just greasy. Again, that isn't a knock. I love breakfast diners like this for that reason. But, there really was very little flavor in any of my food. Pancakes were fluffy but nothing outstanding. Biscuit was good but again, nothing special. Sausage had the most flavor of anything I ate. My wife loved her omelette and commented on how packed it was with the ingredients. The service was very good and overall I enjoyed the food. Would I go back if I was going through Asheville again? Probably not. It was fine but nothing more than that.

Great food and service! Many thanks for the true American cuisine and atmosphere there.read more
