SOMEHOW THE CASHIER ENDED UP GIVING ME THE SWEATSHIRT OFF HIS BACK!?!? Let me explain. But first, this place is what dreams are made of, seriously; if you're ever in Asheville, you HAVE to come here, I'm so glad we did. My friend and I came to this location right before leaving Asheville because the other one was super busy. We met the most caring staff AND the owners/creator of the menu. This location is spacious but we did have to pay for parking in the lot directly behind the building (worth it). It took me a minute to decide what to get before the cashier recommended a staff favorite, the pulled pork biscuit, and told me how people would literally go up and hug him after trying it. He reassured me that if I hated it I could order something else, so I went for it. Let's just say that I ended up becoming one of those people that went up to hug him after. It was seriously the most delicious dish I've ever tasted.. in my life. It was the perfect combination of tender and juicy pulled pork, pimento jalapeño cheese, egg, bacon, and maple syrup. Just WOW. Not only that but they were playing my favorite song ever, the banana boat song, and it made me wanna dance on the table. The cute and quirky cat theme made everything even better. Not only that, but the owners, their kids, and their best friends were all working together this day which I was informed rarely happens. During my overflowing gratitude for such an amazing experience, I went around hugging all the workers LOL! Y'all it was THAT good. To top it all off, the cashier who recommended my entree gave me the sweatshirt right off his back after we took the group photo. I mean come on, talk about going far above and beyond for your customers! Hands down, my favorite dining experience ever. Cannot WAIT to be back! read more

One of my fav places to eat in Asheville! Great spot for tasty soul food that makes me proud to be Southern They have three locations in Asheville - all of which stay pretty busy! But the food is definitely worth the wait and the staff is super friendly. P.S. you MUST get their legendary pimento cheese grits in order to reach maximum appreciation for their cuisine read more

Guys this place is so good. So good. SO good, that I have been ordering their hot sauce to send to me in Chicago since I went there TWO MONTHS ago. Their Grilled Jalapeño hot sauce is e v e r y t h i n g. It's deeply flavored with a slight kick and tastes AMAZING paired with anything you try. Goat cheese and ritz crackers? Shepherds pie? Chili from a can while camping? This hot sauce MAKES MEALS. Their Cat Scratch is also tasty in a more traditional hot sauce way. I like to use both the Cat Scratch and Grilled Jalapeño together to pump up the spice level of the Grilled Jalapeño. Like a spicy breakfast? Cream cheese on English muffins topped with their Blueberry Jalapeño hot sauce. HEAVEN! When I ate there I ordered biscuits and gravy and it was tasty. Cooked well, loved that you got some of their hot sauces and jams with your order. The fact that it came with the hot sauce is what led me to find my one true love - the Grilled Jalapeño hot sauce - but the jams were tasty as well! I particularly liked the Sweet Potato Chai with my leftover biscuit. Delicious! Overall bomb brunch spot with ESPECIALLY GOOD hot sauce. Order the hot sauce online!! Do it now!! It's amazing! read more

Trying to decide? I'll help! Yes, you should have breakfast here! The place is fun and trendy and has lots of amazing choices. The biscuits are soft and fluffy on the inside and crispy and flaky on the outside. I saw one reviewer dropped a star because the biscuit was crumbly, but for me I'm ADDING a star for that!! The fruit cup get bonus points too for not just being full of melon chunks; it had grapes, strawberries, orange slices, and 1/2 a banana. And can't close out this review without mentioning their super amazing selection of house made jams! Loved the sweet potato chai and the apple pie jams! Parking in the back is $3/hour (as of June 2022) and you pay at the self-service kiosk in the parking lot. read more

Considering the situation with Covid. The staff was amazing with social distancing! They all had masks on and the limit any option of having to come into contact, as much as possible. They even had plenty of options for outdoor seating! The food was amazing, with many side jams and sauces (local/homemade) to choose from! If I'm ever back in the area again, this would be a place I'd come back to visit! read more

One of the best breakfasts I've ever had. Everything was perfect. I had the pulled pork biscuit and the bbq itself was great. The side jellies and sauces are all great. The line is justified.

Saw this place on tv several years ago and always wanted to try it if in the Asheville area. Ordered the Filthy Animal (Biscuit with fried chicken, bacon, egg, cheese and smothered in gravy -$12) with a side of home fries - $3.50) and the country ham biscuit sandwich (ham, fried green tomato, egg, cheese -$8), and a half breakfast (biscuit, 2 eggs, bacon -$7). We all ordered water and they have super tiny water cups for some reason. Those of us who want water, don't want to drink less just because it's water. Please give us normal cups! The biscuits are good, but wasn't overly impressed with the food. It was good, average breakfast, but nothing I feel like I need to go back again for. The home fries weren't crispy and lacked seasoning and left us wanting something more. Jams were all very tasty. Service was quick. Staff wasn't super friendly, but not rude. *Website said vaccinated customers not required to wear a mask, but they were requiring them when we went in even if you showed your card. All in all, glad to finally try it and knock it off the list, but probably wouldn't talk it up to others as a must try place. read more

Visited Biscuit Head for breakfast while vacationing in Asheville 9 years ago - went this weekend and it's still just as delicious! We love the casual/pet friendly vibe and the super friendly staff. The menu has a great selection of biscuits for every craving and good luck just picking one! I had the country ham biscuit which incudes cheese and a fried green tomato. Yum!! *Note - if your biscuit doesn't come with a fried green tomato on it - definitely get one as a side item. My husband had the ridiculous sounding yet drool-worthy bologna benedict. I wasnt able to steal a bite - but his plate was clean. Definitely a must for breakfast in Asheville. read more

Super fire. Stopped by on a getaway trip, gotta get down with the down south classics. BEC Chicken and gravy biscuit was 5 stars.

Need I say anymore than: Gravy flights, biscuits and a butter/jam/honey bar to pick your own (or sample many)? This is a must stop place for foodies in Asheville. I'm ready for them to expand across the planet or at least to Raleigh, NC. The half breakfast for $6 was ideal for me--one side included so I enjoyed a cup of fresh fruit. Hubby had the flight and added eggs. He reluctantly shared his gravy goodness with his appreciative wife. You order at the counter, take your number to your table and they deliver. Self-serve drinks. Bring your own drinking vessel if you'd like. Friendly, fast and so darn good! read more

This place is AMAZING! It was pretty busy for a Tuesday morning but the line moved fast and the food came out extremely quick. The orange juice was some of the freshest I've had. The bacon egg and cheese was delicious and portions were large! The biscuit fell apart but this just gave me an excuse to try out a couple of their jellies (which were also delicious). My husband got the filthy animal which he said was very yummy and filling. Next time I'm in Asheville I will definitely be back! read more

First time at this location. Have they country ham biscuit with red-eye gravy. I would say as good as country ham as it gets biscuit was a little undercooked. Red-eye gravy was ok. The portion was large and I love the jelly bar they always have a great selection. Overall a good experience. read more

The flavors of the chicken, gravy, and pimento cheese were so good! The biscuit crumbled a bit more than I prefer, I like them fluffier. Be sure to help yourself to some of the house-made jams to add to your biscuit. read more

This pace isn't not worth the hype of standing in line for 35 mins for a cold biscuit, and chicken that tasted like it was from yesterday. I had the mimosa fried chicken sandwich. The chicken was cold and dry, also they forgot to add pimiento cheese. They line goes through the center of the building, which is very awkward. You're standing over people eating then, once you get a table people are standing over you. It's cramped and small. Many people in line didn't understand why they don't have the line going through the back door, so people could still enjoy a desirable eating location. It makes it almost miserable to even eat in the location. The young lady at the register, didn't even say hello back. She just said what is your order. Not personable at ALL! over all, we use to love visiting when we came to Asheville but won't be back. read more

Not sure of the hype about this place. Nothing special, its biscuits for Christ sake with some lame toppings. And the inconvenience of the long lines did not warrant the sub par taste of the food. To put a sign on the Jelly section: don't waste we work hard to make it. Is that necessary? We know, it's homemade and it's free. With the price of your biscuits, giving a free jelly is the least you could do for your customers who waited in line for at least half hour. Do better, hire more people and expand to avoid those lines., maybe then you can now charge for your "homemade jellies" and drop that condescending Sign! read more

Expect a line. We got here and had no idea what to order.. The menu looked amazing. I got the fried green tomato sandwich.. Holy Moly was it good... And massive. Portions are for two!!! The almond joy latte was such a treat. This place is very good.. I'd go back for their biscuit in a heartbeat. read more

Food was great! Amazing breakfast options. I had ordered ahead but for some reason their system didn't notify them, so when I arrived they kindly rushed my order for me. Really appreciate you guys! read more

Interesting concept! Biscuit fried green tomatoes was very good and tasty! Ordered also the mimosa caraffe!

We stopped by biscuit head for the first time to have breakfast. This is an offbeat place that I quite enjoyed. This is a restaurant we walk up to the counter and order and they bring your food out to you. They also give you a table number. The Decour is eclectic and quite pleasing to the eye. It does not have its own private lot so you have to do street parking. I was a bit disappointed because they don't have bread for toast or English muffins however there are plenty of delicious items on the menu. I ordered the fruit platter which was filled with burstingly fresh melon and grapes and strawberries. I also ordered a biscuit of course and some yummy bacon while my dining companion had French toast. Food was ready promptly and everything was delicious. I really enjoyed the fruit platter particularly the fresh grapes. I am not a big French toast fan but I tried my dining companions French toast and it was pretty good. I am just not a major French toast lover. All in all this is a great place to have breakfast. I had called around earlier and most places have a waiting time of about 45 minutes or more but I am pleased to say that biscuit head did not so we got in right away. That does not mean they never have long waits as a friend told us it is quite a popular spot and it was pretty packed when we were there. I would definitely recommend this place for a yummy breakfast or brunch. Enjoy! read more

Good food and very cool environment. Would definitely come back. Service was good and easy to order.

I walked in and saw their menu. VERY expensive for some fancy biscuits. This is not my cup of tea here. If I want to spend a lot of money on breakfast, I would want a whole spread of food. Anyways, I walked out before I spent that kind of money on biscuits lol. Just giving y'all a heads up if your wanting something different read more

Went here for breakfast with a couple of friends and we ordered the Mimosa Fried Chicken Biscuit and a Biscuits and Gravy with two cups of coffee and an orange juice. The plates were quite big and you can definitely order one dish and share with another person. We had to take one complete meal to go but that means we just had leftovers for dinner that night. Overall, there was a line and we had to wait around 30 minutes to get seating. You can bring your pet but you have to sit outside. There are about 5-7 tables outside so the wait can get a little longer if you bring your furry friend. Furthermore, there is parking on the street but it is quite hard to find a spot. read more

Experienced this place during my first adventures in Asheville back in 2016 (I was still a developing Yelper and apparently skipped a review here for some reason). Regardless I remember the airB&B I stayed at was nearby so it was easily walkable and I assuredly came here several times during that trip as they offer unforgettable biscuits and a fantastic jam / jelly / honey bar, even though there is always a line as soon as they open. Fast forward to 2019 - While driving through TN, my wife and I purposely drove out of the way to come through Asheville just so we could stop here again. Dang! It is STILL Worth The Wait. We made it around 9AM on a Sunday; they open at 8; there was already a line wrapped around the building (as expected), but they move it well. Regardless it was a 30-45 minute wait before we made it to the cash register to order. Once you order and have a table number, you can claim a seat/table. I appreciate that you can only sit once you have a # otherwise those line-waiters without food would hog all the spots. Special Kudos to those single parents with 3+ kids toughing it out for this goodness! Oh My GAWD these biscuits! They're quite large with the perfect amount of fluff and flaky ness without becoming a spongey dinner roll. Whether it's a crafty breakfast sammie or keepin that biscuit to the side, it's delicious. Expansive house made jams and jellies to strike your mood; even better, you can buy a jar to take home. This visit I had the full breakfast: this comes with two eggs (cooked perrrrfectly sunny side up, as requested), a biscuit, and two sides - I chose the Sriracha maple sausage and the daily side special. The sausage is in patty form (not a sausage link) and has a much desired texture; I would've liked a bit more heat as the sweetness of the maple overpowers it, but overall is still very good and not so sweet that it takes over your whole meal. The side special this day was sautéed mushrooms, chilis, onions, and kale; this was impressively full of flavor, I could've eaten more of it for sure; the south sure knows how to dress those bitter greens!!My wife had the classic biscuit sandwich with the sriracha maple sausage side (insert in sandwich) which she thoroughly enjoyed. We shared the Mocha latte which was delightfully constructed with their house-made chocolate milk; very smooth. They encourage both composting and recycling (which is awesome since earth friendly options seem to be less than even considered in most red states). Fun cat theme throughout the interior (with the idea that the biscuit size should be as large as a cats head- and they are true to size!!). Despite the constant line of hungry people pouring in, the servers and the cashier were incredibly pleasant throughout which makes this place an all around excellent choice. My only complaint is that they have two single stall restrooms- while it's awesome these are unisex / any-sex / non gender specific, they are so busy that 2 toilets are not enough (how the poor staff even get a chance to pee is beyond me). Clearly this is not reflective of their service or food and they are clean so it really is a minor consideration. Anyway. Back to the biscuits. They're so darn good, we also got 6 "road biscuits" (AKA to-go so we could bring them back to Orlando where good biscuits are scarce). Bonus - if you order 6, you get a jar of jam for free, yes please! Can't wait to pass through here again- worth an out of the way driving route and waiting line outside, Every Dang Time. read more

Any time I wait more than 45 mins for a meal, I expect it to be something pretty dang delicious. Well, Biscuit Head, you were...just fine. I had an OK breakfast biscuit sandwich with egg, cheddar and the bacon of the day--which was just bacon slathered in a little bit of peach sauce. My side of "moon fries" was not really worth the $3.50. But my boo raved about the biscuit benedict, so maybe I just ordered the wrong thing! The staff was nice enough and the cocktails looked good, but man do I hate waiting in line that long. Though I will say, the sauce bar is worth the hype and I enjoyed some delicious jams and such. read more

There is no better way to start your day, than breakfast at Biscuit Head. I never truly appreciated the art of making the perfect biscuit, until I ate my first biscuit at the restaurant. It was so good we went back three times. The biscuits are the size of a your hand, I mean generous portions. Then, it is golden and crispy on the outside and flaky and tender on the inside. They are true, mouthwatering goodness! Whether you top them with one of the many creamy and tasty gravies or one of the 20 or so, homemade jams. I loved the sweet potato chai jam. It was all that and more! You could put it in the mimosa fried chicken like they did or slather it on a decadent biscuit. The variety of menu items from brisket, to eggs Benedict, or fried chicken defy logic, but satisfy any diners tastebuds. The down home country welcome and sweet service make you feel like family. I really enjoyed my vanilla latte too. I brought jams home for everyone in my family! This is the first place I would want to visit, when I return to Asheville! Bravo Biscuit Head! read more

Biscuit Head, you sure do know how to make this Maryland native feel welcomed! I walked in feeling like I was at home and left out feeling like I was leaving behind a dear friend. *Real Tears* When I say that I had THE BEST biscuit I've ever eaten in my life here, I literally had THE BEST biscuit I've eaten in my life here!!! I visited with my BFF for another good friend's wedding (Congrats Sahar & Chris) because, it came highly recommended by the bride, who has frequented here several times from past visits. Free parking is available in the rear of the restaurant, just make sure to ask the staff for a parking ticket to insert in the parking box outside. Since we were in town for a limited amount of time, we decided to order a few items on the menu: fried green tomatoes, moon fries, biscuit donuts, and THE BEST biscuit ever....mimosa fried chicken biscuit. I don't know who prepared our food, but it was clearly made with love! Everything came out piping hot, fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious! All we could do at the table was say, "mmmm, mmm, mmmm!" The chicken is so moist and crunchy, the biscuit is light and fluffy, the coleslaw has the perfect crunch, the honey butter adds the perfect sweetness and the egg just tops it off. Ahhhh, pure perfection! Not that you need anything to accompany your food, but BH has a jelly bar with fresh jellies and butters for your food. I tried a couple and they were delish! The staff were so friendly and helpful, such wonderful southern charm! The line may grow outside the door and around the corner, but the cashier moves at lightning speed and your food comes out just as fast. Seating is provided inside and on the back patio. My BFF and I discussed how we need a Biscuit Head in Maryland, but I'm kind of glad we don't. Otherwise, she and I would both be big as a house!! Farewell dear Biscuit Head, until we meet again. *Real Tears...Again* read more

Don't be shy about ordering some plain old biscuits bc Biscuit Head has LOTS of jams and spread choices in the back for you to plaster onto your biscuit. The significant other and I ordered the gravy flight and mimosa fried chicken biscuit with a side order of the country ham. For the gravy flight, I chose the espresso red eye, house-made veggie "chorizo," and the mushroom melody. I rec the mushroom, somewhat for the veggie chorizo, and sort of for the espresso since it had a bitter aftertaste. The biscuit pieces that came with the order was huge and made breaking it into chunks for dipping easier. The significant other's mimosa fried chicken biscuit was good, but you can hardly taste the mimosa. :( The biscuit was topped with a poached egg, sweet potato butter, and the chicken with slaw at the bottom. This was one mighty biscuit not really meant to be eaten by hand. I def rec this as it is more filling. The side of country ham was good, but it was particularly super salty as it was cured locally. The significant other seemed to have enjoyed it. This particular location isn't quite as busy as the other located on Biltmore Ave which had a super long line going all the way outside. read more

Horribly long wait time and nowhere to sit. Be prepared to wait minimum of 1 hour (standing in line). Then when you finally sit down another 30min+ before the food is out. You would think a breakfast place is quick. This one was totally not worth the wait. read more

They don't make biscuits like this where I come from! Or gravy... Or jam... Or butter... Real talk? My meal at Biscuit Head had me reconsidering every decision I've ever made that led me to not living in the south. Biscuits are LIFE. Now, let's get this out of the way. I'm really bad at making decisions when it comes to food. Chances are, I won't have the opportunity to eat at Biscuit Head in the near future, so how do I ensure that this ONE MEAL lives up to all my breakfast hopes and dreams?! Talk about stressful. Well, the gravy gods heard my cry. Two words: Gravy Flight. Instead of settling on one type of gravy, I could pick THREE. Not only that, it doesn't come pre-assembled so I had plenty of biscuit to also take my talents to the jam and butter bar to try even MORE insane flavor combinations. I tried three gravies: fried chicken, pork sausage, and the gravy of the day which was potato, bacon and cheese. My favorite was hands down the fried chicken, but they were all distinct and delicious. Ok, now let's get real with that jam, butter, honey, and hot sauce bar in the back. DO NOT MISS IT. Seriously. You can sample everything from peach habanero jam to Sriracha honey. It's worth saving the majority of your biscuit just to go cray cray. Trust me. Did I mention all of this was only $7?! And I was full for most of the day. There are plenty of sandwiches and other options when you visit Biscuit Head but I don't regret one second of my gravy flight order. I visited the West Asheville location to take a look at where the cool kids are hangin' these days upon suggestion of a few locals. There was plenty of seating both inside and out, as well as a parking lot. Ok, Biscuit Head, you got me... With a location in Greenville too, chances are I'll be back very very soon. read more

We waited in line for awhile to get inside this restaurant, as its highly reviewed in the Asheville area. I personally don't think this place is worth the wait. The donuts were not great. The sausage egg cheese biscuit was alright but it lacked flavor. It was cool that they had a jam bar so you can try all of the different jam flavors. Overall, I was not impressed. read more

Don't waste your time or $$. First of all, they don't have the menu that is on Yelp. No catfish or brisket biscuit, Parking was $5, the gravy that we told the guy was for our 7 month old was spicy, the food was cold when it came out (we sent it back and it came back cold again), the service was not even kind of ok. The lady jerked the plates out of my hands when I took them back due to the food being cold. No one offered any care that we were very unhappy. We had to stand around like a buzzard to get a table once someone got up. Gross. This is the worst $50 breakfast I've EVER had. read more
