I ordered the Full Breakfast w/ scrambled eggs, bacon, home fries, a biscuit and Mexican Chocolate Bacon. I was disappointed with the eggs and the Mexican Chocolate bacon, which was on their Special's board, tasted basically like...

bacon with chocolate syrup on it. Also, the bacon was all curled up, which I didn't like. I prefer my bacon in flat strips, not in these bacon balls that they served. The home fries were seasoned perfectly. They were delicious and the biscuit was pretty good too. My partner ordered the strawberry and banana pancakes that were on special. She sent back her first order because the whipped cream had melted all over the pancakes and it just did not look appetizing. However, when they remade the pancakes, they brought them back with no fresh strawberry slices like they had originally came out the first time. Apparently, they ran out of fresh strawberries. She did like her pancakes. They did have strawberries in the batter which you could taste. I ordered an orange cherry spiced mimosa. I didn't taste any cherry but what's not to like about a mimosa. The star of the show was definitely the Jam Bar. I got samples of a lot of different jams and most were amazing. I later purchased the Sweet Potato Butter which was fantastic. They do sell each of the jams so that's a win. As we were ordering our food, we got to see other people's food come out. The biscuits are huge and fluffy! I must say everything on a biscuit looked spectacular, especially that Mimosa Chicken biscuit. I will probably visit again and just get a couple of biscuits with the peach rosemary jam and sweet potato butter. Overall, it was okay. Oh BTW, the place is very small. There is a tiny little area right inside the door that no more than 6-8 people can wait. Also, they won't take your order if you don't have a place to sit, which could be awhile because there is not a lot of tables. They really should consider limiting table time to 1.5 hours because it is so tight. The cashier mentioned one table being occupied for 3 hours!

But the full breakfast with the cheesy eggs, fried chicken and grits? You really can't get any better than that. Their prices are fantastic all around and I love that they sell the biscuit mix they use in store! Do yourself a favor...

Between the four of us, we had the Fried Tomato Biscuit, a Biscuit with Sausage Gravy, the Asheville Benedict, and the Full Breakfast with two over easy eggs, fried green tomatoes, bacon, and a cat head biscuit. The only person who...

wasn't totally in love with her meal was the one with the fried tomato biscuit (she said it wasn't hot enough), but the rest of us really enjoyed our meals. I was totally impressed by their butter and jam bar with all the flavored butters and different delicious jams. There were so many unique flavors of jam; sour cherry, rosemary peach, chai sweet potato, apple pie, and mango chili along with the regular berry and strawberry. What a wonderful treat to be able to try each one! Everyone who worked there was friendly and welcoming, portions were generous, and food was amazing! Wish we had something like this back home!

If you're in Asheville, be sure to stop at this little niche breakfast spot. Be sure to get there at open though because place is no secret, seats fill fast. The staff are great, very friendly and accommodating. Bring your appetite, this biscuit-centered breakfast spot is filling! The wife ordered the Mimosa Fried Chicken Biscuit...a sweet and savory breakfast with a hearty biscuit, sweet sriracha slaw, a delicious fried chicken thigh, topped with a poached egg and their mimosa drizzle.

Our little one ordered the Biscuit French Toast, and boy was she in for a delight. Six triangle cuts of thick biscuit-style french toast topped with powdered sugar and accompanied by a side of sliced strawberries and bananas. I...

house biscuit at the base, topped with a helping of pimento cheese, a fried chicken thigh, egg, smothered in their house gravy. The Filthy Animal comes standard with scrambled egg but they were happy to make mine poached on request. You will, without a doubt, leave full. A brisk downtown walk may be in order to work off the calories. It's a small spot but just right for what it is. We had one day in town to eat breakfast and this was the best spot we could have picked. Food was fast and hot, staff were pleasant and hard working. Price was more than fair for the amount of food you get.

Holy moly this place is amazing!!! There was a long line to get food but it is totally worth the wait. Their food was so delicious and they gave their own jam bar they make fresh!!! It was amazing!!! The place itself is in a cute area and I just loved the whole vibe

There several locations throughout Asheville. But this one is easier to get in and out of. Located in a medical office building there is parking available right outside. Today we tried the classic biscuit sandwich - cat head biscuit with an egg and cheese. It was phenomenal- also very big! For a side we choose the cheesy grits. They were also very tasty. They offer several homemade jams and butters to top off your biscuits- which is a nice added bonus. The price was moderate and the staff welcoming. Today there wasn't a line- but sometimes there is a wait. The ambiance is casual some tables inside and out.

Comfortably tucked away breakfast spot that delivers! Boy, does it ever! We loved our visit to Biscuit Head. Not knowing what we were in for, we were blown away! From environment, to menu selections, service, speed of being seated and served, ambiance, and quarkiness, everything was spot on making for an awesome Saturday brunch! Both dishes we ordered were ample in size, made to perfection, and super tasty. Service was a buzz. Everyone was jumping in to help where they could, and everyone was friendly too. We absolutely loved our brunch at Biscuit Head. If anywhere in the general vicinity of Asheville again we will turn hard Left or Right to get to another one of these places!! No doubt!!

This spot had a line out the door, but they were very efficient and really had their system down. You order at the counter and they let you know where to sit. Then you bring your number to your spot and they bring your food and drinks to you once everything is ready. The lavender honey iced latte was great! The fried green tomato biscuit was so so good. It was not what I expected it to look like, but it was one of the best breakfast items I've ever had!

Some of the best restaurants execute the simplest items so well. That's what Biscuit Head does - flaky biscuits where you can enjoy the buttery flavor and a variety of jams to enhance it. Hidden in Doctors Park behind Wink Spa, walk in the door, grab a menu, and order at the counter. The staff will assign you a table if you're dining in. Check out the jam and butter bar near the soda machine - so many choices! The biscuits were very light and buttery. They were great plain, with jam, or with egg and cheese. The line was short when we arrived a little after 8:30 on a Saturday morning. By the time we left at 9:30 the line was long so get here early. If you're seeking a great biscuit that's worth the wait run to Biscuit Head!

It's been months and I'm still thinking about these biscuits and gravy... On our last day in NC, we stopped by Biscuit Head to try biscuits and gravy to go. The ordering process online was super easy, and their text updates made it easy to know when our order was ready. I'm grateful for the two sided line-- one for dine in and one for takeout-- so I didn't have to wait in the fairly long dine in line. Pickup was a breeze, but I will say there wasn't a ton of seating outside. We were on our way to the airport, so it would've been nice to have a place to sit and munch before we had to leave. The biscuit was SO tasty; super buttery and flaky. But the star of the show? That gravy. Not too soupy but not solid, had a good amount of seasoning, but didn't overpower the buttery biscuit. SO yummy. I don't think there's anything quite like it on the west coast. I'll be thinking about this place for a while.

Come hungry...then realize you didn't actually need to worry! The mimosa fried chicken looked intimidating at first. It's a mountain of food, but surprisingly it didn't feel heavy. The coleslaw helped balance things out with a nice refreshing crunch. The mimosa flavor on the chicken was very subtle though, almost hard to notice. The Filthy Animal was great and the gravy was fantastic. Honestly though, the smaller things stole the show. The iced bacon maple latte was excellent and the jam bar is such a fun touch. Peach rosemary was our favorite. Watch out for the chili mango jam. It has a real spicy kick in the best way. Even the bottled hot sauces were unique and worth trying. Came on a weekday morning and was seated immediately. Food came out in about five minutes and there was plenty of parking. Weekends might be a different story.

Filthy Animal, biscuit, some samples from the jam bar

Incredible food, great vibes. I got the Filthy Animal, then saw the jam bar and went back to order an extra biscuit to try them all. There's about 14 other things in the menu I also could have tried and loved. One of the best breakfasts I've had in a while, I can see what the hype is all about!

Biscuit Head is a local restaurant with three locations in the Asheville area. We recently visited the South Asheville location on Hendersonville Rd. The parking lot is a little wonky, but it is well marked for patrons who actually read and follow the signs. The restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating with funky decor centered around cats and southern sayings. The menu offers southern fare and is known for its cathead biscuits. There is a bar with butters, jams and jellies. A biscuit is a necessary purchase so you can sample the variety of delicious toppings. The service is fantastic with helpful people bustling around the building. The items seem a bit pricey, but they do use local products and vendors which is more costly but better in so many ways.

Barbarie R.

We loved this town and the adorable restaurants and stores! The service was wonderful price was right!

Filthy Animal biscuit and 2 egg breakfast.

Love love this place!! When anywhere near Asheville for breakfast hours mandatory to stop in. Their house made jellies/jams and butters and creative dishes are a true treat. The pimento grits were a standout and of course the biscuits are a meal in itself. Worth the wait if you are hungry!!

Oversized portion of Pimento scrambled eggs and biscuit.

Honestly, I was skeptical that was a tourist place. Very pleasant surprise! Not far from our downtown hotel, this very local gem was a delightful find. Situated in a doctor's office area, it looks it has been there a long time. Fortunately, on a Thursday morning around 10am, we only had to wait for 1 table to vacate before we could place our order. The extra time was appreciated so we could peruse the menu. Hubby choose the egg , Pimento cheese scramble, I opted for a couple of scrambled eggs with one of the oversized biscuits. Although tempted by the gluten free/vegan option, I wanted to try the real deal. Tiny dining area with chairs and tables crunched together . Loved the condiment bar with assortment of sweet and savory biscuit toppings. Latte and coffee with free refills were good. No upcharge for non dairy milk alternatives. Special order, no problem and portions are huge! A must try while in town!

Ingrid H.

Amazing brunch place. The food is so rich and yummy. We got southern scramble and pull pork. They were so amazing. Their jam options are crazy. I love the berry bomb and peach rosemary Second edit: I came back again the next day to try their gravies. I love the shiitake gravy - they put actual mushrooms in there!!! This time we got mimosa chicken and filthy animals.

At first I was taken back by the long line around the building! However it was certainly worth the wait! The staff came out to check on us three times to provide menus and ask for questions! They were so friendly for how insane busy they are! I got the full breakfast with a Gluten Free Biscuit with bacon, over easy eggs, and home fries. Everything was excellent. My favorite was the jam bar! A huge biscuit covered in blackberry jam and but is the best! As I was leaving the people next to me has the brisket biscuit and the fried chicken and I am thinking of heading back tomorrow to try them! If you can handle the wait you won't be disappointed! read more

We are vegan and we're very disappointed in our breakfast options. Based on the other reviews we thought the chorizo gravy would be an option. It is not. All the gravies are made with the dairy base, except for the sweet potato gravy. We both ended up trying the sweet potato gravy but it was way too sweet for our tastes. My husband compared the vegan biscuits to hockey pucks. read more

If you are vegan, you need to be super clear with the cashier that you do not eat animal products. Their menu says "can be made vegan" on a few different items but it's not true. I ordered a sandwich and asked them to make it vegan, which it says can be done, and all they did was swap out the biscuit for a non-dairy biscuit. They still gave me a huge egg.

What a great place hidden away in a medical offices area. Well I use the word "hidden" lightly because the large line out front gave the place away. I thought for sure I knew what I wanted until I started looking around at the food that had been delivered and then couldn't decide what looked good because it all looked good. We somehow decided on a the Fried Green Tomato biscuit and the Pulled Pork biscuit. Both were so heavenly and actually complimented each other well because one was sweet and the other savory. Lots of bold flavors. The seating is interesting. They ask how many in your party and then give you a number which they have already placed somewhere on a table and you have to find it. At least that was how it worked for us. This is of course after you work your way inside through the line. Coffee was great but we had to wait on them to refill the pots and the cream. That would be my one nag. Keep the coffee coming, a lot of us waited awhile to get coffee. I wouldn't hesitate to come back and I will when I make it back to Asheville. I don't know how this wasn't voted the best breakfast place but it should have been. read more

Ok so first of all let me explain, one of my favorite breakfast options is a bacon egg and cheese biscuit. Now, with that said, I have expectations for this sammy which biscuit head didn't quite live up to. My boo thang said it's my own fault though, he said when you go to a different place you need to try one of their specialty items so you don't have a specific taste expectation. Seems fair enough. My boyfriend got the bbq pulled pork biscuit and man oh man does he know what he is talking about because that bad boy was on point! Mmmmm. The cashier said it's an overlooked biscuit but one of her favorites. My mom who has a billion things she negates from her diet, got a gluten free biscuit with eggs and bacon. She said it was amazing! My latte and my mom's cappacinno were delicious! We will definitely come back here when we visit Asheville. read more

This place is ok. Biscuits were decent but sausage and gravy was awful. Probably the worst I've ever had. Then I ordered an extra half side of gravy (before I knew how horrible it was) and was charged an additional 2.00! It wasn't even a 1/4 cup of gravy. My bacon was super fatty/tough and my husbands sausage was the same. Not too impressed. I was hoping they were stellar like Biscuit Bitch in Seattle-but didn't even come close. I should keep my expectations low from now on. read more

We heard rave reviews about biscuit head before coming to Asheville so we had to try it out. We got there about 15 minutes before it opened mostly because we wake up early and we're hungry but also because we heard it's packed on weekends. We were about 3rd in a line forming out the door before they opened. You order at the counter and sit down with your number. Service is speedy and efficient. We got the Asheville Benedict, classic biscuit sandwich and a plain biscuit so we could try all the jams. Everything was delicious! We tried the majority of the jams at the jam bar and our favorites were the sweet potato chai, peach rosemary, and sour cherry. My iced chai was really good as well. We were in and out pretty quickly and enjoyed our meal. The ambiance leaves a little to be desired though, with a dirty bathroom with no paper towels first thing in the morning and an overall small and crowded space. read more

Dont know how this place got such good ratings, probably since its close to the hospital. It certainly attracted a certain crowd, i dont think i saw one person there who wasnt horrendously overweight. Given the name i figured this place would specialize in biscuits, you know those flakey chewy buttery things you can get almost anywhere in the south. What i got didnt resemble a biscuit, it was fluffy like a cake and didnt taste anything like a biscuit. The gravy i got with it was dumped all over it, like disgusting amounts of it, and tasted watered down, i think it was gravy, could have been milk and flour with some smoke flavoring in it. Just goes to show you can serve completely tasteless disgusting imitations of food and be massively successful with the right location. read more

Ummmm what?! This place, I mean come on! The 4 stars is due to the wait time because the whole time I'm just thinking man it's cold and it has been about an hour and this better be worth the hype. Well, friends, it was. How can a $6 egg and cheese biscuit with fried chicken as a side fill you up for about 2 days you ask? It's possible. I have to say I didn't love the fried chicken, probably ate half of it as the meat wasn't the best and the breading left something to be desired. The pitcher of bellini's was a bit pricey but pretty decent. The biscuit was the star though. Totally spot on - not too greasy, nice and fluffy, nom! The highlight, probably worth one full star as it is is the jelly/jam/butter bar. I saw the reviews for it and thought mmm that's cool but no, each one I tried was life changingly good. They were selling hot sauces but man I wish I could have taken home a little bucket of the sweet potato and butternut squash jam. I'm not sure I'll rush back there or that my stomach could handle it on a regular basis but definitely worth the wait. read more

I almost don't want to write a review here because this place gets so crowded because the food is THAT GOOD - and I don't feel like waiting the next time I come in lol! It is well worth the wait though. The gluten-free biscuits are fluffy and yummy, and they have great options for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. My fav aspect of this place is the "jelly bar" what I would call their version of a salsa bar.

When in Asheville... eat at Biscuit Head. Be prepared for a wait outside. We got there about 30 min after they opened on a Sunday and we waited for a bit to get in the door. But don't worry... once they get you in the door they work their magic. You order at the counter before they seat you. Not much waiting involved once you're seated. We had a table of 8 and got our food so quick. Be sure to check out the handmade jams and butters while you wait. There are so many great flavors to try! If you're looking at a latte know that they come in a large size! I went with the classic sandwich and grits. Both I would get again. My husband got the gravy flight. That is a meal within itself with a biscuit and a half. These biscuits are huge! It's very easy to over do it here thinking you need an extra biscuit. I also recommend going with some of the specials. No one had a bad thing to say! read more

I drive for lyft and picked up a couple from Charlotte airport and had to take them into Asheville so I called a friend asked where a good place to eat in Asheville is. He recommended this place called the biscuit head and I thought to myself what in the world is this. I took his suggestion and went and wow wow wow a million times did he suggest a good place. I got the mimosa chicken biscuit and oh my I couldn't fit the whole thing into my mouth because it is so big.

Honestly don't get the hype. The iced coffee's were absolutely disgusting. They tasted like crappy coffee mixed with milk. I got the maple bacon and the only thing maple/bacon about it was a piece of bacon in the latte. The mimosas tasted weird. The fried green tomato biscuit was actually just a fried red tomato. My mimosa fried chicken biscuit was good but wasn't even hot. Room temp at best. The line was out the door because it's such a small venue and the waiting/ seating situation is super confusing.

Then I started to dig into the biscuit, and it was better than I expected. My eyes were bigger than my stomach, and I ended up finishing the biscuit at lunch. Well worth every single penny spent!! The portion sizes are huge. This will definitely become my breakfast/brunch place as there's a lot more on the menu to try. If you're near this Biscuit Head then I would definitely drop in. You'll be glad you did!! I promise!! read more

Do not assume that you can eat a bacon, egg, cheese biscuit like a sandwich. It's quite a stuffed biscuit, and it will crumble when you pick it up. If ordering it to go, don't turn down the utensils, you will need them. And don't expect to eat and drive. read more

So, we stop at Biscuit Head on our way out of Asheville on your way to Grandfather's Mountain in the Blue Ridge Mountains. This breakfast sandwich was so good. It fueled my entire drive. They gave it the name Biscuit Head because a Biscuit should be the size of a cats head. read more

Ahhh, my first review. I took my little brother & sisters here for breakfast the other morning & I believe it was a hit! Everyone liked it (and with 3 teenagers who love to complain, that is saying a lot). Weird location but I guess as long as you have good food, word of mouth overrides that. We had to sit at two separate tables because there weren't any other open seats, but that was fine, especially because our food came out very quickly! Major plus. I had the fried chicken biscuit & a cup of coffee. It was HUGE. I couldn't even eat all of it (and I can seriously chow down). Super yummy, especially with a little bit of the spicy strawberry butter from the butter & jam bar at the front of the restaurant. Coffee was normal. Nothing crazy. Only thing I didn't like was the cashier lady. She was a little standoffish, even after I tipped a couple dollars in their little tip jar. Maybe she was just sleepy or frazzled, who knows? Everything else was great. read more

THIS WAS HANDS DOWN ONE OF THE BEST POST-RUN BRUNCHES I'VE EVER HAD. And I consider myself to be a frequent bruncher. I pretty much have all pros to share about this restaurant but before I do, I will give you the know-how on how ordering here works. You get in line and order at a counter. You are provided a number and assigned a seat in the dining room and your food is brought to you with next to no wait. While you do wait for your food, I highly recommend sampling one of every jam, butter and sauce available for spreading on your biscuit. They have dozens of options. From fruity to more savory--there are options for everyone. My favorite was the sweet potato butter and the raspberry jam. SO GOOD. So Pros: 1) The biscuit was perfectly fluffy, moist and flakey. I loved every bite. 2) The variety offered on the menu was overwhelming. I would have loved anything I ordered. I went with a biscuit sandwich that had the most PERFECTLY poached egg with a crisp piece of fried chicken and sweet potato butter. It was heavenly. Could literally eat that biscuit and chicken forever. 3) The homemade hot sauces were so wonderful. No words. 4) The staff was as friendly as could be. 5) The variety of side dishes has something for everyone. I highly recommend the fried green tomato or the potatoes. THE ONLY CON: Be prepared to wait. SInce it's an order at the counter situation, the longer the line is, the longer you wait. The good news is once you order, your food is only minutes away. But you might wait in line for 45 minutes. FYI. read more

I found Chestnut on Yelp and decided to wander in. The space has this elevated modern rustic vibe with a southern twist and a little bit of sass. They even sell shirts that say neither hoity nor toity, which cracked me up. Honestly, the atmosphere was great, but our waitress was the real star. She was absolutely phenomenal and looked after us perfectly. My palate was pretty fried, so I started with a Bloody Mary to wake up. Truth be told, it was just okay. The house mix had an odd flavor that nobody at the table could quite identify, and it seriously lacked spice. It was just kinda bland. I noticed a bottle of Firewalker hot sauce on the table, and splashing that in helped a little bit. After that, I transitioned to a mimosa. You really cannot mess up a mimosa too much, and it was a solid, reliable second drink. For the main event, I ordered the southern chicken and waffles. This came with a fried chicken breast sitting on golden malted waffles, smothered in sausage gravy, and drizzled with chipotle honey. It was a really great dish. The kitchen did a solid job with the fry on the chicken, and the gravy had a nice flavor. It leaned a little on the sweet side because of the honey, but it was not totally overdone. The real sleeper hit of the morning, though, was the side of cheesy grits. Those grits were absolute heaven. They were incredibly creamy and perfectly seasoned. If you go, you have to order them. Chestnut is in a great location, and despite the weak Bloody Mary, it was a stellar visit.

Seeing how this massive structure was built out of stone so long ago is amazing. Inside, there was a video playing that explained how the hotel was constructed, which was very informative. The roof being made of solid concrete to help make the building waterproof was especially interesting. When you walk through the front doors, the entry is grand and open, with huge fireplaces on both sides. The gingerbread house displays were spread across two floors and were absolutely incredible. It's amazing to see the talent, from young adults to experienced artists. Some of the displays look incredibly realistic. I added photos, and hopefully the video of the grand prize winner shows as well, it's truly impressive. We walked around the rest of the hotel for a while and then stopped for lunch (see my restaurant review). The food was excellent. We hope to return one day and stay here.

The wrapper was very tender and the shrimp filling was delicious. It tasted very authentic to me. I also loved the Sautéed String Bean as it had the right amount of garlicky sauce. The Lo Mein was made with thinner than usual noodles but still tasted good. I think the Chow Fun tasted a bit off. It kind of tasted a bit sweet and like drunken noodles at some points as opposed to the traditional smoky flavor that the dish has. The rice noodles that were used were also thin as opposed to the usual wider noodles. As for the Spicy Chicken, it tasted solid. I liked the slight crisp before biting into each piece and it was not really spicy. I definitely tasted the cumin (I am not a super big fan of), which is a popular flavor found in Szechuan cuisine. Overall, I think this is a nice spot for some Chinese food, especially being near the mountains which is more isolated. I would probably rate it a 3.75/5 stars if I could. I wish chicken feet were part of their dim sum menu (it is pretty small and there are no rolling carts in case anyone is wondering). I do think some flavors of the food I tasted seem to cater a bit more to the Western taste palate (my parents agree as well), but I enjoyed my time here.

Biscuit Head is a quaint little spot that feels like a warm embrace from the moment you walk in. It's the kind of place that quickly turns newcomers into regulars, with its inviting charm and the tantalizing scent of freshly baked biscuits floating in the air. The ambiance is cozy and charming, with a dash of whimsy that brings a smile to your face. The simple yet delightful decor creates a snug and inviting space where you can relax and enjoy the moment. The staff at Biscuit Head are truly the heart of the establishment. Their genuine, down-to-earth warmth makes you feel like you're part of the family from the moment you're greeted. They're attentive, cheerful, and always ready to offer recommendations or share a friendly conversation as they prepare your meal. Then there's the culinary star of the show - the food. I indulged in the Asheville Benedict, and it was an absolute revelation. Picture a tender, buttery biscuit, sliced open and laden with rich, flavorful toppings that give a nod to local tastes and traditions. The eggs were poached to perfection, and the hollandaise sauce was creamy and packed with flavor, draping over the dish like a velvety blanket. Each mouthful was a harmonious symphony of tastes and textures, a testament to the simple yet profound joy of a well-crafted meal. Biscuit Head is more than just a place to grab breakfast; it's a beloved community staple where the humble biscuit is elevated to an art form. It's a place where the love of good food is palpable, and every visit feels like a return to a comforting, familiar haven. Whether you're a biscuit connoisseur or simply in search of a nourishing start to your day, Biscuit Head promises an experience that's as heartwarming as it is delicious. read more

If you're in the mood for a hearty breakfast that will keep you satisfied all day, Biscuit Heads is your destination. The oversized, fluffy biscuits are truly a delight. I indulged in the "Half Breakfast," which featured a biscuit paired with a side--opting for the pork sausage gravy that was rich and decadent, studded with crumbled sausage and bits of crispy bacon. Chris chose the Half with Country Ham, enjoying thin slices of salty-hued, crispy ham that added a delightful texture. The whimsical cat-themed decor adds charm, rooted in the tradition of "Cathead" biscuits, named for the generous dollops of dough placed in the pan. The service was friendly and attentive, enhancing the overall experience. Be prepared: this isn't a meal for those with a light appetite. Pair your feast with a Mega Mimosa for an elevated brunch experience, and be sure to take leftovers home--you'll definitely want to savor every delicious bite. A perfect way to spend a leisurely Sunday afternoon! Wee read more

Everyone said we needed to try this place. First off it's easy to miss being located in the end unit of what is seemingly a revamped apartment complex. The line was expected but quite short. The seating was a random assortment of patio furniture and picnic tables. The menu was easy to follow and we, of course, ordered the cat head biscuits and gravy (there are at least a half dozen types of gravy...I chose pork). On the way out you pass a jam bar where you can load up on paper cups from the assorted jams (maybe 15-20). The food was quickly brought out since the biscuits appear to be cooked in a large cake pan and then cut to size. The biscuits were quite good, fresh and matched well with the gravy. The pork gravy was a bit odd and contained a scattering of chunks of pork sausage added afterward. Not great sausage and far from authentic but tasty. A bit of spice but not too hot. Pricing was reasonable with four of us eating for $55 including tip. I'd go again. read more

Listen folks, this place probably has some of the best breakfast you'll ever have here in the fine city of Asheville. Now it's certainly a little pricey I wouldn't lie to folks about that (my daddy always said liars get stitches or somethin like that), but the food is well worth it! I tried myself the Full breakfast with some scrambled eggs and fried catfish and let me tell you it was better than my mamaw's cooking, she'd slap me into next week if she heard I said that but she don't know how to use the internets so it's fine. The wide selection of jams is just icing on the cake and I ain't had the time to try em all! If you find yourself visiting or without an idea in the world for a good breakfast, or brunch if you're a fancy son of a gun, give em a try and tell em Bubba sent yah! read more

If you want a gluttonous meal that's in great portions, Biscuit Head is perfect! This is the place my girlfriends and I love to come to brunch it up after a busy week. The biscuit flight is a must if you are just visiting for a few days but if you are a local, try something new! My mouth is literally watering just thinking about the brisket biscuit...YUM. If you get a meat on your biscuit, know it's going to be moist and perfectly cooked! A true southern meal! Pricing is very affordable! Seriously, I was surprised by the pricing when my brother brought me here my first time. I would eat here every day if I wasn't worried about my waist size. :) read more

Definitely one of my favorite places for breakfast in Asheville, the Asheville Benedict is amazing, I love the blend of the kale salad and the red peppers, also is one of the few places in Asheville where you can find fresh juices and the coffee is really good. The ambience is nice, although on the weekends, good luck getting in. Better to go on the week days and early, you can always order right away. In my opinion avoid the fried chicken side, the two times I tried it, it was chewy and missing meet, they use chicken thighs. No matter what always my top choose for breakfast. read more

While I have never had a bad experience with Biscuit Head, I can't say that I've been impressed. The food is good, however having grown up in the rural South, big breakfast meals with big biscuits, hearty helpings of eggs, and amazing gravy is the norm for me. For those who are seeking a real rural Southern breakfast, this is the place to go. My biggest problem is the space itself, the building was small for the level of business this location receives, plus parking is limited due to sharing a parking lot with multiple doctor offices in Doctor's Park. read more

On a trip to Asheville, I just kept hearing there was no better place to have breakfast than Biscuit Head - and it did NOT disappoint! I ordered the Buffalo Chicken bowl and it was enough food for two. It was also the most flavorful buffalo chicken meal I've ever enjoyed. It wasn't just all spice, but it had enough heat to have my taste buds singing. I loved it. My husband also had the mushroom gravy with his meal and was nice enough to allow me a taste and it was so great. I can't wait to go back! read more

The biscuits are pretty great at Biscuit Head. I've had just the biscuit sandwich and the Benedict with the mortadella (was not a fan of that meat though, thickly sliced and salty). Their collards in coconut milk is so tasty! Love their jam and butter bar, very creative and great flavor combos. There is almost always a line, so be prepared. Wasn't crazy about their mimosa but there aren't much to those anyway. You're going for the biscuits right?! Will be back! read more

I was so happy to have a good breakfast place to go to when my best friend showed me this spot on the weekend. The biscuits really lived up to their name and the butter and jellies that they have also were delicious. The only negative part of the restaurant is that the food is so good that it took about an hour to get in and actually eat the food. read more

I had the blessed opportunity to visit Biscuit Head while in Asheville, NC, and I'm so glad I stopped! The cozy, home-like décor immediately makes you feel welcome, and the service was just as warm.

It was ok. Biscuit was outstanding, but the mimosa chicken left more to be desired. It came out super fast and tasted like it had been sitting for a bit. I wish I had ordered the biscuit with 3 gravies just to try them out. I don't live in NC, so I won't have another opportunity. However, everyone was very friendly. read more

Food and drink menu options are delightful, and we really enjoyed the quiche (seasonal vegetables) and the insanely delicious beet and citrus salad. Portions are very generous and food comes out quickly. The server talked us through wine options by the glass, gave tasters and great recommendations.
