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!

Biscuit & Gravy
Mikayla H.

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.

Jam bar

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
Chris T.

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.

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

Filthy Animal biscuit and 2 egg breakfast.
Kumi V.

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.
Lala C.

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!

Pulled Pork Biscuit
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.

Pork biscuit.  Get it. Eat it.

If you love biscuits and gravy or just biscuits with everything, this is your place. But if you have other dietary needs, steer elsewhere.

Ask the Community - Biscuit Head

Is the fried chicken a chicken breast or thigh?

Last time I was there it was white meat, chicken breast.

Is the restaurant currently open for dine in?

Yes it is open for dine in ... I believe the hospital area location is outside seating only.

Anyone know how this place is with allergies? I have an all nut (especially peanut) and shellfish allergy? Thanks!

They said the only nut ingredient was almond milk in a few items; no peanuts.

What is the wait like mid week for breakfast?

We went on a Tuesday around 930a and waited about 15 minutes to go in and order. Once we ordered the food cane out pretty quickly.

Generally how long is the wait to dine in on a Sunday morning?

We waited about 15 minutes the Sunday morning we were there. But if you pick up a menu, while you wait you can use the time to decide what you want. We all ordered different things and tried each other's.

Is this restaurant dog friendly?

I would say no. The space is tight inside and when I went it was like 16 degrees so I didn't see seating outside

Do you have vegan options or not? If so can you break it down for me? Your reviews are contradictory and your menu says "veggie" on some things but never expresses whether they are vegan or not.

There is a vegan biscuit option available it's listed on the menu

What is the best time of day (for example, upcoming Sunday) to come for brunch/lunch? I don't want to drive 2.5 hours to Asheville and spend half our day trip waiting in line... if it's always crowded may have to go somewhere we can get reservations.

We just came at 9:30 on a Friday morning and were able to get in with no wait.

My fiancé took me here for my birthday, and I felt celebrated every step of the way. Our server Laura brought us a complimentary small bite before the meal and after dessert. She also made dessert super special and was kind and attentive the whole meal! The food was all phenomenal, I couldn't believe it was all gluten free. It felt very fresh due to the farm to table nature of the restaraunt. We started with the cheddar biscuits, which were a hit. My short rib with polenta and roast veggies was delectable and a very generous portion! Finally, we ordered 1 dessert but they brought us a trio. I was wowed by the cheesecake and olive oil cake! Would definitely return for date night or any other special occasion!

From the very beginning, this restaurant set the standard for what true hospitality and…read moreprofessionalism should look like. I was in communication with Lindsay for over four months while exploring options for hosting my wedding dinner in their private dining space. Out of more than 10 venues and vendors we considered, she was the only one who consistently showed up with prompt, thoughtful, and genuinely kind communication. Every question I had--no matter how detailed or repetitive--was answered with patience and care. She made herself available through all my moments of uncertainty, which, as any out-of-state bride can attest, is invaluable. When we finally visited in person, Lindsay went above and beyond by accommodating us outside of regular scheduling. Her attentiveness and warmth never wavered. Planning a wedding from afar can feel overwhelming, but having someone like her in your corner brings a level of reassurance that cannot be overstated. Dinner itself was nothing short of exceptional. We were served by Tennille, who elevated the entire experience. She was engaging, knowledgeable, and incredibly personable. Every dish was presented with intention, and she took the time to walk us through ingredients , local farm sourced education and preparation in a way that made the meal feel curated and special. You can tell she genuinely cares about the guest experience--it shows in every interaction. After dinner, we visited their second location to explore their private dining options. There, we met Pierre, who matched the same level of service and hospitality. He went out of his way to not only show us the space, but also recommend local after-dinner spots that could enhance the overall experience for our bridal party. That level of thoughtfulness and big-picture thinking is rare. Bottom line: this team understands that they're not just serving food--they're creating experiences. If you're looking for a venue that delivers on service, communication, and unforgettable dining, this is it.

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.

I'm here for my eldest son's birthday and of course our first dinner here, with his wonderful group of friends would of course be at The Admiral Restaurant; most likely the best restaurant in town. I've been to The Admiral several times before, so I'm making this review an updated version of just how good a place can still hold its reputation. For a restaurant so damn good, there is nothing fancy about it. It's set up like a small town diner; and that's what makes it so much comfortable. The service is spot on and their menu has so many wonderful choices at not "break the bank" prices. Us six diners ordered: * Caesar salad - for a southern restaurant making a Caesar this good, it was enchanting! It had Croutons, Parmesan and Anchovy * Ribeye Steak - see above accolade! With tallow confit potatoes, glazed carrots, chimichurri, goat cheese * Cheeseburger with fries - a mile high beauty with Cheddar, Dijonnaise, B&B Pickles, grilled Onion, and fries - was enchanting * Beef Tartare - with chile aioli, mustard seed, chive, ramp, black garlic, egg yolk * Smoked Trout Mantecato had black pepper-parmesan toast, Furikake, yuzu tobik * Airliner Chicken Breast with crispy red rice, tomatoes, romano beans, herb Every dish above was excellent.

We walked in without a reservation, sat down, and had the kind of long, unhurried dinner that feels increasingly rare. Nobody rushed us. They let us share plates without hesitation. The menu is billed as New American, and that's the right phrase for it -- genuinely eclectic, pulling from Spanish, French bistro, and Southern influences without committing to any one of them. The pork chop was excellent. The grilled carrots were genuinely memorable. The green salad was simple and well done. Our waiter recommended a wine that we were pleased with, and even offered a tasting. The wine list is deep for a room this size, and the cocktail list looks the same. Music was at that sweet-spot volume where you can hear your conversation partner and still hear the song. You could bring your parents, or come on a date, it works either way. Some farm-to-table places feel pretentious; this one doesn't. They don't make you feel dumb for not knowing every local distributor.
