Country Ham Biscuit
Gracie G.

Giant delicious biscuits! Pictures don't do justice to how large their biscuits are, we tried the filthy animal and the country ham. Both were very good, they also have a jam bar which is very unique. Would recommend!

Full Breakfast with sausage gravy
Adam L.

I like biscuits. I'm in the South. How could I pass up a place called Biscuit Head? My wife was skeptical. I was right. First thing you notice is that a lot of folks like this place. The line was out the door and we had to wait for seats. As we worked our way toward the counter we had time to figure out our choices. Order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. The layout is basic, simple tables and chairs, but you're here for those biscuits. Fluffy tall biscuits covered with sausage gravy and fried or scrambled eggs are a common choice. Or some version of a biscuit sandwich. Maybe add some fried chicken. This is the good stuff. They have tons of sauces to choose from too. There's a lot of variety making this a good breakfast or brunch spot.

I can't stop thinking about this glorious place! They have a fantastic menu, ranging from familiar favorites to inventive creations. Loved the spacious indoor seating; lots of long tables for larger parties. But the best part by far is the homemade jam bar!

Outstanding breakfast! You can't go wrong with a cathead biscuit. We enjoyed a savory and sweet breakfast and loved it! Amazing service and vibes!

Biscuit & Gravy (GF Biscuit, Sweet Potato Coconut Gravy)
Luca D.

Service and ambiance worked out as the line was not very long. I got GF biscuits smothered in sweet potato coconut gravy, the only GF and vegan gravy available. The gravy came out very warm, and the flavor was complex, but it was almost kind of sweet. Regardless, pretty grateful that there was a suitable biscuits and gravy option.

Best place to eat breakfast in Asheville if you like biscuits, jams, and hearty breakfast meals. This is our favorite place. We only eat breakfast here every year for our annual trip to Asheville. Everything on the menu is delicious. The coffee bar is extensive and they always have special drinks. Try the bacon of the day! Take full advantage of the jam bar. The service is always friendly and is much faster than the lines make it look. 100/10 recommend

Biscuit covered in mushroom gravy
Zac G.

(4.25 stars) Biscuit Head has acquired a lofty reputation since it opened its doors more than a decade ago, and it was only a matter of time before we ended up here to see if it lived up to the hype. One drawback to said reputation: it gets busy, and it gets loud. Best try to catch them during an off-peak hour and hope that you can snag an open table. That caveat aside, the menu is great. You can keep it simple with a biscuit and your choice of topping, roll the dice with a biscuit sandwich, or step up and take on a gut-busting breakfast platter. There are also sweet dishes and a bar full of complimentary jams. My wife and I went with the biscuit of the day (Korean fried chicken), a biscuit with mushroom gravy, fried green tomatoes, and a side of bacon. The biscuits were good, but if you get them in a sandwich, don't expect the sandwich to hold together. No matter: forks exist for a reason. The Korean fried chicken included both Korean BBQ sauce and pimento cheese, an interesting fusion of Asian and Southern that somehow worked. The accompanying tots were crispy and addictive, and the mushroom gravy was creamy and rich. The fried green tomatoes were respectable but would have been better topped with pimento. Ultimately, Biscuit Head did not disappoint. The biscuits weren't the best I've ever had, but the food here was still satisfying.

Hands down, these are some of the best biscuits I've ever had! They're large, fluffy, and incredibly soft on the inside. Biscuit Head is a must visit if you're in the area and craving a fun, lively breakfast spot. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and helpful. What truly impressed me was their wide variety of house made jams! They have jam stations where customers can mix and match, trying different flavors on their biscuits. I highly recommend the raspberry, peach rosemary, and mango chili jams; but they're all fantastic! I loved them so much that I bought a few bottles to take home. The restaurant itself is spacious, with seating options for large groups or just a party of two. There's also a charming outdoor patio with picnic-style tables, perfect for a cool spring morning.

Knew this place was going to be good based off of the line going all the way through the door! We had a hard time picking what we were going to eat given their wide variety of things to go along with biscuits. Don't let the long line fool you, the service was very quick! We got the classic sandwich with sriracha maple sausage, fruit, side of sausage gravy. We appreciated the jam bar they had and the wide variety. The biscuits were large and very crumbly which made eating the sandwich somewhat difficult. The sausage gravy was delicious and was a great added side to dip the crumbles into.

Hot chocolate

Food was cold. Who wants a cold hard biscuit? Service was good. Staff is friendly. Seats are limited. You have to order first before you can get a table. Some tables are set up communal so be prepared to share a table with others. Not a fan of how people are hovering over tables while people are eating.

Asheville Benedict
Anthony D.

Came in for a quick breakfast before driving out of Asheville and thought biscuits would be a great filling start to our day. I enjoyed the interior and exterior with it being cat-themed. Your order number comes with a picture of a real cat which I found to be a cute touch. They also have a generous jam/hot sauce bar which was really fun to try and adds a unique twist to your experience. My partner got the Half Breakfast with a side of bacon. She really enjoyed the jam bar since she was able to customize each bite to her liking. I tried the biscuit by itself and I have to say that I wasn't that impressed. It was just fine at best and so for a "biscuit-specific" restaurant, this fell flat. It didn't seem like it was made right then and there between the luke warm temperature and the brittle texture. I got the Asheville Benedict which was interesting. I wanted a slightly 'healthier' biscuit option and so this one was more vegetable forward which I definitely appreciated. However the end result with a warm biscuit and very cold veggies made for a temperature clash that was not very pleasant. I think there's a world where this specific dish could work (maybe separate some of the elements) but as constructed, it's kind of all over the place. I'm confident that had I gotten a different item I'd give it higher marks, but this specific dish plus the biscuit being average really let this meal down for me.

Mimosa Fried Chicken Biscuit
Lynn B.

Biscuit was fluffy and chicken was fine, but I don't like thighs and the waiter talked me into trying the thigh. Should've gone with the maple ham, egg and cheese biscuit instead. Line was out to door, and specialty jam bar was a nice touch.

Vegan gluten free biscuit and gravy
Melissa G.

I appreciate that this place offers a vegan/gluten-free option. Sadly, they weren't great. The gravy had pieces of sweet potato and was more of a soup? Not bad necessarily, just not a gravy at all and didn't satisfy the craving. The biscuit was just ok. One cool thing is the jam bar! Tried a few jams that were tasty. Went on a weekday morning and it was pretty empty and service was fast.

Since we got there so early, we had ordered from their cafe and their lattes were nice to sip on while walking through their edible garden! I really liked our server, a ginger man, very kind and quirky and it felt personable which I enjoy, he told us about being a Michelin recommended and I'm glad to have experienced it! For starter, I got the smoked salmon hash, and that was filling enough and very fresh! I had ordered their Philly cheese steak with auju and it was sooooo filling, I love a hearty breakfast, but I could only finish one half. I ordered their local sausage patty and it was nice and Smokey and savory! The grits were chunky and cheesy which I really enjoyed, everything was great! Love it! My partner ordered a classic breakfast and their maple bacon is sooooooooo good, I told him he needed to learn to make it because I want more! Their fruits seemed home grown and I really appreciate their decor of sexy veggies on the way! Such a cool place to eat and hang out!

They also grow their own herbs and veggies in the adjacent garden to the restaurant. The flavor on the waffle sandwich was superb. Waffle crispy and chicken moist. The hash was also great but was a bit salty.

The best falafel (a daily Benedict special) and that's saying something given I've eaten falafels in Israel, Turkey and NYC. The bed of arugula and hollondaise sauce was chef's kiss.

My honey is a meat and potatoe dude and the burger he had was sumptuous. A hint of horseradish (he thinks) with the smoky bacon and perfect seasoned fries. In summary... total gastronomic taste gasm.

The menu is Southern creative. We started with the biscuits and gravy appetizer which might have been a mistake because I was almost too full for my entree after sampling it. The signature gravy was heavenly! We scooped it up with our forks when we ran out of biscuit. The coffee is excellent and we all enjoyed the fresh squeezed juice. (Those are important touches for breakfast.) the service is super friendly. Maybe could use a more extensive child's menu. My older son eats like a little adult but my younger kid is a typical "kid" eater. Although he loved his waffles and the picture provided for coloring. If I lived in this neighborhood, I'd be walking down here all the time.

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.
