Breakfast was awesome. On my way home from EOTD, I stopped in Asheville for breakfast with my brother, the line was out the door for good reason! It wasn't a super long wait and well worth it. Ordered my food and a latte and both were great. Super flavorful and fresh. Loved the greens and hollandaise sauce. They have a butter and jam bar!!!!! I got the berry Jam and an apple crumble butter, I believe. Both were delicious! read more

Biscuit Head - Cafes Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

First time eating at this joint. It is definitely a hidden gem. Very cute little spot. Very different take on breakfast biscuits and other breakfast items. Definitely higher on price but there was no skimping. Small sitting area and might benefit from a deep cleaning. Would still recommend at least to check it out. read more

Oh my home-cooked goodness! When you walk up and see a line out the door, only good things can follow. Had the half breakfast (which is substantial) with the pimento cheese grits (shout out to all things pimento cheese!) and ate every crumb. The jelly bar is fun and fresh. Don't pass up this culinary opportunity! read more

I was really disappointed by this place after all the reviews. No one in my group finished their meal. The biscuits were pretty good plain, but I've had better - and for none of the other items in the dishes to stand out the biscuits weren't strong enough to make it worth it. The little jam and butter selection is fun, but again, none of the ones we tried really stood out. A couple were just gross. The pimento cheese on the filthy animal was more mayo than what you normally get with pimento. My friend said his red eye gravy tasted like the bottom of a burnt coffee pot. A lot of what we had here was either bland or offensive. The service was friendly though, and I liked my iced chai. read more

Had their breakfast catered at an event - and I didn't think biscuits that big could be that good!! Wow. Lots of flavor and their jams and jellies!!!! read more

Service and ambiance stood out because I was served after not even one minute of sitting down. I got the Southern Scramble (consisting of tomato and potato) without pimento cheese and with the addition of sriracha maple sausage, alongside a GF biscuit with apple pie jam. The scramble seriously tasted southern and had phenomenal flavors. The apple pie jam worked out super well with the biscuit. Overall, this is what I call southern comfort food. read more

The ambience, the presentation of the food, the efficiency of how they do things are all absolutely fantastic. A perfect hole in the wall good old biscuit shop. Where they fell short was only the food itself. The pimento cheese grits were fantastic. The mimosa chicken biscuit was less than desired. The chicken felt like it had been cooked about an hour ago was very crispy, dry and very chewy. The poached egg somehow actually seemed like it had been sitting for a while and the topping they put on made the whole sandwich seem a little too cold. The biscuit itself was room temperature so not fresh out of an oven or anything. I am thinking this is possibly a one off but due to how fast they are, which was about two minutes from the time I sat down, they pre-make a lot of their stuff. Still give it a try for the experience. read more

Biscuit Head - Mimosa chick and grits. - Cafes Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

When visiting Asheville, Biscuit Head is a must stop for breakfast or brunch. They are just that good and popular, you may have a little wait. While you wait in line, you are offered samples and given a menu to look over. I already knew what I wanted, the 'Mimosa Fried Chicken Biscuit' and 'Peach Bellini'. Let me break down the biscuit for y'all... A large fluffy buttermilk biscuit, w/sriracha slaw, fried boneless mimosa chicken thighs topped with a scrambled egg and sweet potato jam. So good! A fork is a must! Seating is kind of tight, you have the option of inside or outside, a plus of that they find your seat. Some seating is kind of community seating. Oh! I can't forget their jam/jelly bar. There are so many good ones to choose from. Add this to your foodie list! read more

Biscuit Head - Packed on a Sunday morning! - Cafes Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Just a great spot to visit when in Asheville. French toast, biscuits, eggs are all phenomenal. Experience can really be unique here by using the jams (wild berry is a must try) and mixing with the fruits, biscuits. Little bit of outdoor seating and depending on the time, there can be a wait. They seem to hustle here pretty hard to keep up. While not cheap, portions are plenty big. read more

If my husband were reviewing he'd probably rate them higher, but I just am not clicking with most of the food here. We visited a different location last year where mistake was mine, I ordered something thinking it was different from what it was. This year, I didn't order badly, but nothing really stands out except for the delicious jams. The jams are 5 star on their own. But, overall, I had issues with just about everything else. We split a full breakfast with a biscuit, two eggs, sriracha sausage, and bacon. All of these are things I normally would like. The eggs were fine, a little over salted to my taste but otherwise fine. I ate all my egg. The biscuit was very heavy and doughy. I had my husband cut me off 1/4 of the biscuit and I couldn't even finish that because of how heavy it was. The bacon, which I normally like crunchy but "melt in your mouth", was hard and chewy, so I only had a bite. The sausage tasted like meatloaf to me, and I can't stand meatloaf, so gave up after one bite on that as well. I like sriracha normally, but maybe burnt sriracha and burnt ketchup both do the same thing and that's why it tasted like meatloaf to me? Hubby thinks I'm a monster for not liking meatloaf anyway, and he enjoyed the sausage and biscuit but was agreement on the bacon. The cherry jam is the best. The other jams are good, the chili mango actually has kick. I'd probably come here to buy jam if I could just buy a jar and take it home, and I'll come again next year when we are in town because I know my hubby is going to want biscuits and I love him, but I may just order some toast to put the jam on. read more

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 myself had The Filthy Animal and it did not disappoint. A towering breakfast with their 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. read more

If you're looking for a spot that serves up some seriously satisfying comfort food, look no further. Biscuit Head was recommended by locals and it did not disappoint. I had the biscuits with a gravy flight, and from the first bite, I knew I was in for a treat. I got the sweet potato coconut gravy, shiitake mushroom gravy, and the pork sausage gravy. All of them were amazing! And then came the French toast. Golden brown and perfectly crisp on the outside. Topped with a dusting of powdered sugar and strawberries and bananas. Absolutely delicious! The cozy atmosphere and friendly service only made the experience better. Whether you're craving a hearty breakfast or just need a little comfort food in your life, this spot is a must-visit. I'll definitely be back! read more

Biscuit Head - Mimosa Fried Chicken Biscuit - Cafes Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Had to make a quick day trip out to Asheville to make a delivery. Having heard they are still in the process of recovering from Helene I wasn't sure how much would be open. After making my delivery I decided to see if my favorite breakfast spot, Biscuit Head was open, and when I got there and saw the open sign, I knew it was my lucky day! I had never been to this location, which if you're not sure what you're looking for, you will 100% miss it. It's nestled back in a cluster of building which look more like an apartment building than businesses/restaurant. Regardless, I found it, and it was time to eat! Fortunately for me, it was a Monday morning, tourism is still slow, I was able walk straight to the counter, and placed an order, no line! The staff was super friendly, happy, and welcomed me in. When you walk I , you're immediately at the counter, and then it snakes back around the corner to a small eat in dining room. I order the Southern Scramble, grabbed some samples from the jam bar, and took a swat. I'm only a few minutes away full plate was sitting in front of me. 3 scrambled eggs, ground sausage, pimento cheese, piled high on one of their cat head biscuits! This hit the spot, was fantastic, and just what I had been craving. I have never been disappointed by anything I've gotten when visiting a Biscuit Head. Highly recommend! 20 out of 10, I will no doubt be back!! read more

Food was great - no constructive criticisms at all - Dwight who appeared to be the manager on duty was patient and courteous with me as a first time visitor. For a newbie , I should mention the location is a little hard to find- it's a renovated apartment space at the street address listed with only signage on the cafe itself ; don't let this dissuade you- it's worth the search - highly recommended! read more

Two of us went at 10:20 am for breakfast on Saturday, 5/18/24. There was a line, but it wasn't super long. When we left just before 11 am, the line was way longer, so go early! You order at the counter and tell them how many are in your party and then they find you a table and place the number stand on your table and point you in that direction. Then they bring your food to you. Pretty efficient system! We got Classic Sandwich with fruit cup ($8) and Classic Sandwich with bacon ($8). The fruit cup was very generous with grapes, strawberries, apple and banana slices. We weren't impressed with the biscuit or the sandwich. The biscuit wasn't anything special. I also got the Nutella Chai. It was good, but just tasted like chai. Overall, pretty average and we don't feel the need to go back. read more

This place is amazing if you are in the Asheville area. Tasty comfort food and well priced.

Food: the filthy animal and full breakfast with scrambled eggs, bacon, fried chicken, and a biscuit. Everything was very delicious. The chicken was the only thing that we thought was ok. But the biscuits are to die for. Fluffy inside and crunchy on the outside. I also got an extra side of potatoes which were ok. But their gravy and biscuits is chefs kiss. I got a lavender latte and my husband got a hot penny cup coffee. It was delicious. They have a jam bar for your biscuits!! Everything made there and you can TASTE IT. So good. Service: we got there around 10am. Long lines that run outside the building. roughly a 30 minute wait. Quick order at the counter, food came out super fast. We waited maybe five minutes? Super quick. Ambiance: superb cute. The bathrooms are adorable. I've attached some pictures. Everything is cat themed. The tables have pictures of cats, everything is kitty cat! Loved it. Everything is clean and smells good. There's neighborhood art on the walls from elementary kids. So thoughtful and different. The vibe is really nice in there. I do recommend coming here. The experience is different and they have a really nice menu and good coffee. Will definitely come again the next time we're in NC. read more

Nice spot but not my favorite. I was looking for another new place to try and came across Biscuit Head which has several locations around AVL. I went to the one on Biltmore and met a friend around 1130am on Sunday. The line was out the door but moving fast. My friend had a dog though so he sat at a table outside while I placed our orders. The waitstaff apparently got on his case a couple times for sitting at a table without a number (even though I was in line for both of us), but not a big deal once they checked in with me as I was approaching the register. We got the fried green tomato and the fried bologna biscuits. I also got a maple bacon latte. It was pretty nice out, mid 60s but we were unfortunately completely in the shade so I was a bit chilly, but the hot latte helped me warm up and was very tasty. I especially enjoyed the thick slice of bacon that garnished the mug. Our dishes came out pretty fast, about 10 minutes. While they looked great and the portions were generous, they both just fell a little flat for us. He wasn't a huge fan of the sauce on his (they do have a huge sauce selection inside though) and I thought my biscuit was just a bit dry. It was super thick too, and I think it either needed more mustard or another more potent sauce. Not a bad experience by any means, but I think there are new places I'd still Want to try or some other spots I'd return to before come back here. read more

I didn't have a pleasant experience as a first-time customer. I asked to be seated outside, and I was. However, a larger party came in while I was waiting on my food and they asked the manager to move me so they could have my outside table. The manager did ask me to move after I was already seated and had ordered...I cannot believe I was asked to relocate inside after I had asked to be outside and their staff seated me. The only thing they offered me was some free donuts or a $3 off coupon on a return visit. I am not local and was traveling. This seems unacceptable to treat your customers in this way, my whole meal should have been comped due to me having to move to a table inside, I was in shock! This is not good customer service or how a customer should be treated. I will not be back! read more

This was one of the places I was most excited to visit in Asheville. I was so glad we were able to get in. I had a great breakfast scramble with eggs, tomatoes, onions, potatoes, pimento cheese. I added sausage to mine. Came with a great homemade biscuit. I also had delicious freshly squeezed orange juice. My hubby enjoyed biscuits and gravy. My teen had the biscuit French toast. Everyone left full and happy. Portions were definitely generous. read more

I was here back in 2016 with my family and it was great. Fast forward 8 years and I'm married now and ready to bring my husband to this amazing spot. Still great! I loveeeee how efficient this place is. It's insane with how small it is and they are still able to keep the line manageable. This time I got the chicken mimosa and it was fantastic! Wow that sweet potato jam is insanely good. Husband got the full breakfast and was excited to try the jams with his biscuit. Hes just a sucker for jam and thought the jam bar was pretty unique. I love that this is SUCH a hearty meal. We ate at 8-ish and didn't need to eat another big meal until dinner. So that's helpful when you're out exploring biltmore all day (and you refuse to eat there because the food is sub-par with a hefty price tag). Total success, once again! read more

Yes, Biscuit Head is worth the hype! They have both savory and sweet options. Their house-made jams and butter are out of this world. We got the filthy animal - it's a generous portion so we shared and also got a slide of an extra biscuit and tried all their jams and butter. The honey cinnamon latte with almond milk was on the sweet side, but the flavor was so warm and comforting. Service was friendly. The Asheville location has a small parking shared with other businesses. We visited Asheville shortly before the devastating #2024hurricanehelene. The people of Asheville are so welcoming and positive. Our hearts are with Asheville during this difficult time and sending love and hope as their recovery begins. read more

My wife visited the Biltmore one weekend. We ate at Biscuit Head before heading up the mountain to the estate. Wow! The biscuits were substantial but not heavy. The bacon was cooked to perfection and the scrambled eggs were just right. The staff was accommodating and answered my silly questions. One young lady was patient enough to describe to me all the jams to choose from for my biscuit. Highly recommend that you try to get to the restaurant early. It is small and gets crowded fast. It is the perfect breakfast before spending the day on the Estate. read more
