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

This place was a homerun. Tucked away in a location you wouldn't expect. Foos was delicious & filling. Service was good. Liked the variety of jelly. Most certainly plan to return. 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

The service here was excellent. They were so efficient with the ordering and delivery process once we were seated. The biscuits were perfectly cooked, and I loved the jam bar! I would definitely come back and try more things on the menu. Cute interior, with a bunch of cat-themed decor items. read more

8/25/23 My husband and I came here for brunch and we were seated pretty quickly. I ordered the fried green tomato biscuit and my husband had the half breakfast with bacon of the day which was the sriracha honey. Our food came out quickly and pipping hot. I love that there are so many various jams and butters offered here. We tried nearly all of them. The atmosphere feels like a mom and pop shop. I loved everything about the place. We definitely enjoyed our brunch here and plan to return when in the area in the future. 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

Unique spot with yummy breakfast options. The sriracha maple sausage was delicious! Love the friend green tomato. Service was quick and friendly. I'd try this if you're visiting! Audio system could be better. 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

What a cool place, with a very different decor and chill vibes, friendly and attentive staff. They have outdoor and indoor sitting. Their food was delicious, and I realized that even though I don't like spicy, I'm a fan of the pimento cheese. What did we ordered? - THE FILTHY ANIMAL: Buttermilk biscuit, fried chicken, pimento cheese, bacon, scrambled, eggs, smothered in gravy - ASHEVILLE BENEDICT: Biscuit with smoked tomato cream cheese, fresh tomato, marinated artichokes, kale salad, poached eggs, and hollandaise - FRIED GREEN TOMATO BISCUIT: Biscuit with fried green tomato, brie, tomato, two poached eggs. and smoked tomato hollandaise read more

I had to take care of some business in Asheville, NC. I ordered two fried eggs, bacon, grits, chicken and of course a biscuit. Overall the food was good. The chicken can use some work. It was fried with some type of batter but did not have any flavor to it..... At all. Of course bacon is bacon. The grits came to life with a sprinkle of salt and dash of pepper. My eggs were fried hard, just like I like them. And for the main attraction..... The biscuit. I took the liberty of slathering their berry jam on top of the biscuit. The biscuit was thick, but fluffy. The jam added the perfect flavor to the biscuit. I like biscuit, even without the jam. If I'm in the area and craving brunch, I'll add this restaurant to my list of places to go to. #gratuityadded #BiscuitHead #Asheville #chicken #fyp #goodeats #instafood #foodblogger #foodstagram #foodlover #comfortfood #instagood #cltfoodies #foodiesofinstagram #eatlocal #homestyle #cltfoodie #ashevillelocal #visitnc #avleats #explorepage #ashevillenorthcarolina #exploreasheville #ashevillefood #breakfast #brunch #homegrown read more

I was so excited when I found out they had a plant-based biscuit option! OMG it was absolutely delicious, I forgot to take a picture. My husband had the breakfast sandwich and my daughter had the French toast. I can't wait to go back one day and have it again. The oatmilk vanilla latte was exactly what I needed to warm up. We sat outside, place is very small; the wait was long so make sure you go with patience. It's worth the wait! read more

This was my second visit here. I was excited to try the deep fried French toast. At first bite, it tastes like a deep fried biscuit. The syrup and berry jam (whatever flavor you prefer) sets the flavor off. The bacon seemed to be deep fried as well and it was good. Not salty at all. The downside, he asked for American cheese in his eggs but they put cheddar, which he does not like. read more

Atmosphere: Biscuit Head is a small shop with indoor and outdoor seating. This was a highly recommended spot to us as one of Asheville's staple food spots. Service: Our server was friendly! We ordered at the counter, and our biscuits came out quickly. Food: We ordered the Mimosa and Filthy Animal. The fried chicken on the biscuits were juicy and flavorful, but the biscuits lacked fluffiness and fell a bit flat for us. We liked the sweet, tangy sauce on top of the Mimosa that paired well with the chicken and egg. The Filthy Animal didn't live up to the flavor we were hoping for, especially the gravy that it came with. Overall: We're glad that we got the chance to try Biscuit Head while in Asheville, but we wouldn't say that they have the best biscuits we've ever tried. We appreciated the variety on their menu, but for the price, we expected better biscuits. read more

Visiting Asheville and found Biscuit head as highly rated on Yelp so I knew we had to try it. Arrived right around 9 am on a Friday morning and was surprised to see a line out the door. Line moved quickly and someone came out to let us know the process. You order at the counter, and they send you to a specific numbered table. They have inside and outside tables. They have a large jam/butter bar (we tried the apple pie Jane and churro butter-both delicious). Food came out quickly and was really good. We split the biscuit French toast, which is nice and crispy on the outside but pillowy fluff on the inside, and the southern scramble. The star of the scramble (outside of the biscuit) was the pimento cheese I just wish there was more. Definitely recommend. read more

This hip breakfast was recommended to me by everyone who has ever set foot in Asheville. Its popularity is evident from the minute you walk in the door--or, more accurately, wait outside the door in a pretty long line at 9am on a Tuesday haha! The food was very good! I liked it. The filthy animal biscuit had tasty fried chicken, well-cooked eggs, and a biscuit smothered in hollandaise. The whole thing came off a little bland (so many salty components--how does that not come through?), and the bacon was much more ham-like than I had expected. The biscuit French toast was also... pretty good! I liked everything well enough but wasn't too impressed. Not saying it was bad at all! I love the idea of the jam bar--while the butters are hard to scoop, the flavors rock. I also drank a tasty spicy berry lemonade. It packed a punch! read more

There were things I loved and things I didn't love so much about biscuit head. This place was super busy, and the line was very long. We ended up eating outside, and it was a bit cold for that. despite that they have an interesting menu... I had a latte with a piece of bacon in it so that was great. I also had a take on eggs Benedict. I love that they had so many jam options and of course I needed to try them. They didn't have the best biscuits that I tried while in the south, but they were pretty good. read more

Here in town for the weekend, so of course we had to try biscuithead! When we pulled up, the line was out the door but that's to be expected! It moved very fast, honestly. The food came out equally as quickly. The main complaints were just how salty the side ham was (I swear I need a gallon of water now) and how our different flavored coffees tasted exactly the same. But other than that - the food was great! Service was excellent. Small dining area but people are in and out so quickly, that it doesn't seem to really pose much of a problem - at least this am it didn't. Favorite part: the side fruit plate was actual fruit and not the filler melon/honey dew. read more

Biscuit head is a small restaurant located in a medical plaza. When we arrived on a Friday morning, the line was out the door, but it moved quickly. You order at the register and they put a number on a table for you. I ordered a biscuit sandwich with a side of grits and fried green tomatoes. I wish I had one of their biscuits now. They are called cat head biscuits because they are as big as a cat head. The fried green tomatoes had a nice sweetness to them and the pimento cheese grits were next level. There is a jam and butter bar with many offerings. Breakfast for two with coffees came to $26 Employees and service was efficient and the line moved quickly. I totally recommend Biscuit Head when in the Asheville area. read more

As you'd expect, the biscuits here are amazing! Very light and fluffy. The vegetarian biscuits and gravy were absolutely delicious. I added two eggs on top and it was super filling. The Asheville Benedict was a great local dish worth a try. Service was incredibly fast! We had barely sat down and our food was coming out from the kitchen. Everyone was so nice. It is a smaller cafe, but very bright and there was ample parking in the lot out front. read more

Visited 3/26/24. There's very few things in life better than a good breakfast sandwich. And wow was this one up there. Definitely prepare for a potential line but they have the system here down so they move tables pretty fast. My mom and I got the bacon egg and cheese biscuit and the biscuit was what made it. Slightly crumbly with the perfect top, this gigantic biscuit made my morning a great one. Bonus points for great hot sauce options (they make their own). If I were to come again, I would potentially go "more adventurous" and do fried chicken in lieu of bacon but dang that his was good. If I'm ever back in Asheville you best believe this will be my first stop. read more

This place has so much charm! You must get a biscuit obviously, but everything on the menu is delicious and just good, southern, comfort food! I was so surprised we came only a few minutes before closing and they still let us order, and did not rush us out of there. My favorite thing, they have a "jelly bar" with a huge assortment of different jams, jellies and flavored butters. They were all so unique and delicious. Prices are also amazing for what you get! read more

The biscuits were soo good. So buttery and fluffy. We got the Filthy Animal and Mimosa Fried Chicken. Both were amazing and had best combination of flavors. They had a jam bar which was so fun to try a bunch of different jam flavors. This place is located in an office park area which was confusing at first as we thought we were in the wrong place. It was pretty busy when we went but the line moved fast. Inside is pretty small but had a very charming feel. I was surprised how quickly our food came out. read more

Favorite place I tried when visiting Asheville! We went to the location near the Biltmore and it was pretty busy, but we were still able to order quickly, find a table and didn't have to wait in line. I got the biscuit donuts and they were out of this world. They really reminded me of a beignet but in a round form. Fried to perfection, dusted with powdered sugar and topped with a lemon curd sauce. These will blow up your taste buds! The cat theme of the restaurant was super cute. I appreciate that as a cat person. Not sure the story behind all the cat things but I loved it. This is a must for anyone visiting Asheville. read more

I am SO glad to have found this place! Literally and figuratively. Discovering this restaurant was the highlight of my recent Asheville trip - and also, actually finding the building was great because I thought my GPS was lost! Anyways, my partner and I went in on a Sunday at 1:15pm (closes at 2pm) and felt so bad to arrive close to closing time, but they welcomed us right in to take our order, we were seated immediately, and the food came out in less than 3 minutes! Everything was great - the service, the vibe, the food/drinks, the seating, truly everything (they also had free cute stickers!) I tried the Mimosa Fried Chicken biscuit and got the S'mores Latte, which were both INCREDIBLE. 1000000/10, honestly! My partner got the Filthy Animal biscuit and a Caramel Chai, which he rated just as amazing. I know that whenever I go back to Asheville in the future, I will 10000% come here again!! read more

Bottom line up front? A solid 5 star rating in all respects. Great biscuits, more than ample portions, wide selection, some unique jellies. Friendly, helpful PROMPT assistance from multiple people at the counter and amongst the wait staff. Portion size more than generous, food tastes fresh, obvious attention to quality meats (pulled pork in my case) and a broad enough range of menu options, including vegan, to please most anyone. Airy, roomy, exceptionally CLEAN indoor dining area as well as ample outdoor seating. The toppings area showed ample concern for hygiene and cleanliness. Fair prices and the quality and taste are excellent. Hard to find $8 decent hot meals, and the giant biscuit and large side of pulled pork made a great lunch. read more

So yummy! This is a very worthy breakfast spot. The biscuits are amazing. I mean it's in the name, so I should have been expecting it, but wow. My biggest regret is that I didn't realize they had a whole CONDIMENT BAR OF JAMS AND BUTTERS AND SPREADS FOR THE BISCUITS. I will live with that regret for a while, because they looked amazing haha. Don't be like me - locate the condiments haha. The eggs and pimento cheese grits I got were also delicious. The interior decor features lots of cats, which was a delightful added bonus! read more

As usual, my wife did some research and we selected Biscuit Head for breakfast on our way out of town. As others have mentioned it can a little hard to find. Slow down look around. There are two signs on the street that say "Doctors Park" and the buildings look like townhome apartments. We arrived a little before 10am on a Monday and it was busy for such a small location. There were people coming and going. They have menus in the entry and the order counter is just to the left of the entry. They give you a number and you have a seat. They bring it out to your table. We were excited to try this based on their overwhelmingly positive reviews. We had looked at their menu prior to arriving and knew we each wanted to order the Filthy Animal and had high expectations. My wife also ordered an additional biscuit because she was excited to try their homemade jellies. When they arrived at our table, they looked amazing. But as we proceeded to eat them, we were not very impressed. The biscuits appeared to be dry and were crumbling/falling apart. I dismantled mine to get to the bacon and fried chicken. I was surprised to see under the chicken there was shredded cheese. I tasted a bit of the shredded cheese mixture and it tasted and looked like mayonnaise with shredded cheese in it. That is not what I anticipated for pimento cheese. Yes, I know pimento cheese has mayo in it, but I did not expect mayo with shredded cheese that was not well mixed together. My wife commented that the gravy on her biscuit was a bit cold and not piping hot like she would have preferred. I ended up eating the fried chicken which was not very crunchy and a little bit of the bacon which felt undercooked. I left the rest. My wife also agreed that chicken was not very appetizing but she did enjoy the bacon. My wife also enjoyed the berry jelly but again didn't think much of the biscuits. We really wanted to like this place and thought we would for sure love the filthy animals. Maybe we visited on an off day but we don't anticipate coming back and cannot imagine waiting in a long line for what we were served. We had a much better breakfast in Asheville earlier in our visit. read more

This would've been a five star experience if not for the curtness and impatience of the man taking our order. We arrived at a perfect time because it got crazy busy 15min later, but we had no trouble getting placed at a table. We were prepared with our order when it was our turn at the counter - biscuit with pork gravy and breakfast sandwich with bacon - but apparently inquiring how the maple bacon latte was prepared was too much of an ask. Food was excellent and came out quickly. You either like this type of biscuit or you don't - we did. read more

I was visiting Asheville for a concert and chose to get breakfast here the next morning. The menu sounded good and it was only a few minutes from my hotel. I hate to say it but I was disappointed. I ordered the classic biscuit with bacon and it wasn't what I expected. The biscuit was very crumbly and fell apart as I tried to pick it up. No flavor. The bacon was thick cut which I don't prefer but it's not a big deal. I ended up taking the bacon off and eating it separately because it was too difficult to eat it on the biscuit. For a drink I got the iced appalachai and it was good. Looking around the restaurant I noticed no one else had what I had, so maybe I just ordered something unpopular but I feel like it was the most basic and safe option. I'd be open to trying this place again but would get something different. It's quite popular; the line was out the door when I left. read more

I had egg and cheese on a biscuit at Flour, and it was fantastic. Debated going for another the next day but decided to try something new instead. So I went to Biscuit Head and ordered the same thing; this proved to be a mistake. The biscuit was nowhere near as good--it was bland, missing the nice crunch and crumbled apart after the first bite. The thick slice of cold unmelted cheese made the whole sandwich feel cold. I ordered the latte of the day, which was syrupy sweet. No ambiance, awkward line at the crowded doorway, dirty menus. I won't be back. read more

When in the south, must have biscuits! Biscuit Head came up multiple times in my searching for best breakfast spots in Asheville, so we knew we wanted to stop by. Luckily, there was a location on our way to visit the Biltmore, so headed there for breakfast. The location we went to was in a little shopping center with seemingly little parking, but we were happy to find a spot ourselves. We visited on a Friday morning, and the line was a bit out the door, but we didn't mind waiting, and it went by very quickly. While waiting, we got to enjoy the beautiful brick exterior - it's super cute! They do have some spots outside to enjoy your meal, as well as ample seating inside. Once we got in, we appreciated the eclectic-ness of the decor - cute little signs etc. were all around the restaurant, making for a fun and quirky environment. We placed our order at hte counter and waited for our meal while enjoying our coffee. We decided to take our food to go, but it did seem like seating was a bit limited, although I don't think we would have had to wait for too long to snag a table. We wound up not hearing our name called (or maybe it never actually was?) while waiting for our food, and we were unclear of where to pick it up ... but after a bit, we did clarify pickup and wound up getting our food. In terms of food, obviously biscuits are the name of the game! Their menu is extensive, offering your basic biscuits and breakfast sides but also more elevated dishes like pulled pork biscuits, mimosa-fried chicken biscuit, etc. My husband opted for the pulled pork biscuit, which featured not only the pork but also bacon, jalapeno pimento cheese, an egg, and maple syrup for a bit of sweet. They certainly did not skimp on the pulled pork - it was so plentiful! The dish itself was quite large, and my husband loved the blend of sweet syrup with savory cheese and bacon atop the fluffy biscuit. He really enjoyed it! I eyed up the Asheville Benedict, which I believe was unique to this location. Atop a biscuit was tomato cream cheese, tomatoes, kale salad, artichokes, hollandaise, and poached egg. The biscuit itself was one of the best I've had - so buttery and flaky, very delicious (and large). I loved all the veggies with mine, and the cream cheese was a unique pairing with the hollandaise and veggies, but it worked! Definitely a great dish that I would order again. We were both pleased with the cost and size of our meals, and we definitely finished our meal feeling appropriately full - I think it tided us over up until dinner! Overall, Biscuit Head was a great stop on our Asheville trip! I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a solid southern biscuit with many options for toppings / meals. If you plan on eating in, be prepared to stalk a table; if you plan on taking out, clarify the pickup plan to avoid confusion! Thanks for an excellent southern breakfast, Biscuit Head! read more
