    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.

    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.

    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!!

    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!

    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.

    First - I apologize for my typos I was just so excited. Second - I still visit every single time I am in town. Butter & Jelly bar, still on point. Doctor Park location is still my go too. Get the bacon.

    Service 5 stars, Jam Bar 5 stars, but the rest of the food was subpar! Eilyse was extremely friendly, personable, and professional. She had a great personality! 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!

    Food was good, but for what we got it was way over priced. 2 biscuits, 2 cups of gravy and French toast. 2 cups of black coffee. 50$. Ouch.

    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.

    I was in town for a massive gathering of beer nerds for the homebrewers convention and needed a…read moresolid breakfast to reset my system after days of heavy tasting. 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.

    Worth Planning Your Asheville Trip Around…read more As a Bay Area foodie, navigating around San Francisco's incredible restaurant scene taught me to appreciate thoughtful cooking, quality ingredients, and genuine hospitality. Chestnut had been on my Asheville dining list long before I arrived, and after spending several days exploring Boone, Blowing Rock, and the Blue Ridge Mountains, I made it my dinner splurge before heading home. It absolutely delivered. A quick tip: skip the hunt for street parking and head straight to the garage across the street. The first hour is free, and downtown Asheville can be congested with both vehicle and foot traffic. I arrived around 5:30 without a reservation and was warmly greeted by the hostess, who offered me a table or a seat at the bar. Asheville was surprisingly hot and humid compared to the cool mountain weather I'd been enjoying, so the air-conditioned dining room was an easy choice over the sidewalk patio. The restaurant itself is beautiful. Fresh flowers, warm lighting, elegant stone countertops, comfortable booths, tables, and bar seating create an atmosphere that feels polished without being stuffy. What stood out most was the mix of guests. There were locals greeting staff by name, couples enjoying date night, families with children, and older guests gathering with friends. It felt welcoming and comfortable for everyone. As a solo diner, the bar was the perfect choice. I enjoyed all the energy of the restaurant while still having a peaceful dining experience. I started with a glass of Brut Rosé from Spain. Crisp, refreshing, and beautifully balanced, it was the perfect way to settle in after a warm afternoon. Then came the Lobster Bisque. As someone who has made lobster bisque from scratch, I know the work that goes into creating a great one. Chestnut's version, made with Oak & Grist Reserve Cream and finished with fresh chives, was outstanding. Rich, silky, velvety, and loaded with tender pieces of lobster. If I'm being incredibly picky, I would have enjoyed just a touch more sherry, but that's purely personal preference. The smaller serving vessel kept the bisque hot from first spoonful to last, which I appreciated. My only complaint was that I wanted a larger serving because it was that good. For my entrée, I ordered the 4-ounce Petite Filet. The steak arrived cooked a perfect medium rare with excellent flavor and texture. It was served with butter-whipped mashed potatoes, haricot verts, a crisp potato gaufrette, red wine demi-glace, and chive butter. Every component was thoughtfully prepared. The demi-glace added richness without overwhelming the beef, while the potato gaufrette provided a delicate crunch. My only minor critique was that the plate could have been served a bit hotter, but the quality of the food more than made up for it. One of the highlights of the evening was the service. Taylor, part of the management team, was personable, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. After my sparkling wine, he suggested a half-glass pour of Willamette Valley Pinot Noir since I was driving. Excellent recommendation. The wine was elegant, earthy, and beautifully balanced, pairing perfectly with the filet. As the evening progressed, the restaurant filled quickly. Watching the staff greet regulars by name and efficiently manage the growing crowd spoke volumes about how well-run the restaurant is. You could tell many guests were repeat customers, which is always a good sign. After dinner, I attempted to walk off my meal through downtown Asheville, but the summer heat quickly convinced me to head back to my hotel. I left full, happy, and already thinking about that lobster bisque. For a Bay Area foodie who plans entire trips around memorable meals, Chestnut exceeded expectations. Great food, thoughtful service, an inviting atmosphere, and a dining experience that felt special without trying too hard. If you're visiting Asheville, put Chestnut on your list. Life is too short for mediocre meals, and this one is worth making time for.

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.
