Heading back east after a mountain lake fishing trip, I knew a good breakfast awaited me in Asheville. Why? Because it's Asheville and food's kind of a thing there! Parked, checked Yelp for someplace I'd never been and up popped Butter Punk. Great call, Yelpers! Got an OG Breakfast Sammie with added sausage, a latte and both were top notch. The biscuit was excellent and the soufflé egg, amazing! The sausage was a little too sage-forward for me but that's a personal taste thing only. Someone who may have been the owner checked on me and she was very friendly. They've been open a year now and have my best wishes for continued success in the River Arts District. read more

Top-notch biscuits in a vibrant and airy spot on the edge of the River Arts District. We stopped in on a busy Sunday afternoon, and every staff member and customer looked like the coolest member of your favorite indie band. But here's the most important thing: The food is good. The biscuits are appropriately buttery, and they don't fall apart when you pick them up. The bacon wasn't as crispy as I would've liked but it was flavorful and paired beautifully with the tomato jam. Definitely recommend this one. read more

Wow! I went in not knowing what to expect, I walked out after eating one of the best sandwiches ever: a biscuit, with candied bacon, lettuce and tomato jam. The biscuits were light and not buttery. Crisp on top and bottom. We were amazed. Go immediately. Located in the river district is cozy with eclectic decorations. read more

Friendly and greetful service. You order at the register before claiming your seat! Grab a number and seating is family style. Clean and cutely punked out! I ordered the biscuits and mushroom gravy with sausage and egg. So Hardy and comforting. Homemade sausage has great flavor read more

I'm not a southerner, but the biscuits & gravy here may very well turn me into one. I had a biscuit with mushroom gravy & candied bacon. Man did that work up my day. So delicious! Truly comfort food. And I got a flavored latte. The seasonal flavor escapes me, but it sure was good, lol. Another incredible restaurant in Asheville. read more

Wow! The very cute name matches the colorful decor and the creative menu. This location on Depot ST is ideal for visiting the many Art Galleries of the Arts District in recovery & a higher elevation after the storm damage. The service, atmosphere & food are fantastic. Such a unique (to me) twist of crispy biscuits with lots of delicious variations. I hope to return soon to sample more. My iceTea was great too -- hibiscus maybe? read more

Butter Punk is a really cute spot to grab a coffee and/or breakfast. It was a plain butter bomb biscuit with jam and butter and an OJ for me and the biscuits n' mushroom gravy with an egg and a latte for my husband. The service, drinks and food were all really good. It was perfect for a quick stop on our way home from Asheville. read more

Stopped by while on a trip in Asheville. Solid spot for breakfast/coffee. The staff was kind and greeted us and didn't feel rushed to place our order. The biscuits themselves are very different from the traditional southern, fluffy or flaky biscuits. Still good, their recipe is a more crispy, crackly biscuit with sweetness to it if you are fan of that type. There are various seating arrangements but I wish it could have been a bit more organized. It's pretty much find your seat when you can - my party as well as two other couples that were waiting behind us were waiting for seats to open up. One table did, but the latest patrons that came in just so happened to be standing there and it kind of sucked they "jumped" all of our waits and took those seats. Outside of how seating is, good & unique place to try out. Would recommend. read more

Finally got to visit butter punk & I'm still dreaming about the biscuit I had. I got the OG breakfast sandwich with sage sausage. It had a homemade biscuit, aioli, a soufflé egg, sausage and cheese. YUM. I don't know what kind of magic they used to make the egg but holy cow it was perfect! Can't wait to go back! read more

We tried Butter Punk for the first time this morning. The service was wonderful and the food was amazing. We had the biscuits and gravy, coffee, oat matcha latte, and an order of a biscuit, two fried eggs and a side of bacon. The quality of all the ingredients was superb. I had homemade vanilla sweetener in my matcha. The coffee is served in an East Fork mug. The biscuits and pork gravy were wonderful with a hint of sage. The biscuits are flaky and buttery with a nice crispy top. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a classic with quality ingredients and great service. read more

Finally made it to this hot pink butter palace in the River Arts District. Local pro tip: go mid-morning during the week! Plenty of room and a chill vibe. I had an oat milk latte and the mushroom gravy biscuit. It's definitely the best biscuits and gravy I've had in town, obviously freshly made with quality ingredients and a distinct flavor. The latter was excellent (and again, one of the best ones I've had in town). The folks working the counter and coffee bar were patient and professional. They also got an extra biscuit out ASAP for a very excited and demanding toddler, and I saw them answer a lot of questions for curious guests as well. If somebody wants a dang good Southern biscuit, I would bring them here! read more

OMG this is by far the best biscuit I've had in my life. I honestly didn't want to stop here because I'm on a diet and didn't want biscuits. But this was the stop and I got the bblt which was omg delicious! The candied bacon. The tomato jam. The buttery biscuit. I ate every bite and even got a to go box with an extra biscuit to make tomorrow for breakfast along with a butternut squash scone and a double chip cookie (chocolate chips and potato chips) which I cannot wait to try. If you're reading this and deciding whether or not to stop, just do it. It's worth the carbs. read more

Someone recommended Butter Punk to me as an amazing biscuit. It's a cute location in RAD with a good amount of seating and fun wall paper and little china plates. Overall I think I like my biscuits more fluffy and less crispy, but also the whole sandwich came off very fatty and greasy. The crispy on the biscuit comes from a bunch of butter (yeah I know it's in the name so you get what they tell you) but for me it was too much. The mayo spread they put on it kinda made that greasiness worse. I will say that the soufflé egg on it was phenomenal and I'd eat that alone. I also ordered that special hash brown and I didn't care for it either since it was 90% onion and 10% potato. read more

Sooo tasty! Had the regular breakfast Sammie with candied bacon and it was perfection! Whatever kind of seasoning they added to the butter was so tasty and the biscuit had a perfectly cooked golden outer layer. There was a line to get in but it did go relatively quickly. Not a ton of seating inside but cute decor- very Instagram worthy! Staff was friendly enough but they just took your order and served food at the counter. Signs up to bus your own biscuit, I mean table. Definitely a new fave! read more

Got here early on a Saturday morning, right before business picked up. The employees were friendly and the space was clean. I've never had a soufflé egg until Butter Punk and it was good! I was on the fence about the biscuits, because I like mine to be light skinned, respectfully. But don't worry, these biscuits have a good bite to them and are still soft in the middle. And the candied bacon whew, fire! Butter Punk you're on to something! read more

We've got our normal go to breakfast spot whenever in the Asheville area, but this time wanted to try something new. Searching Yelp for breakfast recommendations near our hotel Butter Punk was one of the top suggestions with great reviews and mouth watering pictures. We arrived just after 10, there is no parking lot for this business, it's just on the main road in the River Arts District, so street parking is the only option. I didn't have to go too far, and was able to find a spot, and walked up to the restaurant to find a short line out the door. It was maybe a 20 minute wait until we were able to get in the door and place our orders at the counter and then we were given a buzzer to take a seat and await our food being ready. Seating is a bit limited, first come first serve, so the smaller your party is the easier you'll be able to find a table. Food came out after a short wait, but not bad at all considering how many people were there. I got the sausage egg and cheese biscuit! This thing was stacked high and I knew I wouldn't be able to unhinge my jaw to enjoy it, so grabbed a fork and knife and went a cleaner route consuming it. It was definitely a tasty breakfast and very filling. I'm glad we didn't go too early, or I may not have been able to eat the whole thing. The interior of Butter Punk is pretty eclectic with lots of bright art and patterns to give you some visual stimulation. The pricing is a bit high, but reasonable considering it's Asheville. Overall this spot definitely gives our usual spot a run for its money...I'm on the line about which is better, but this is one of my top 2 breakfast spots for sure! Their menu is a bit smaller than other spots, but the food is on point. I'm. Sure I'll be back on another visits. read more

Beth Kellerhal and Dana Amromin have brought their distinctive, mouth-watering menu to RAD after earning high praise from prior food truck ventures to include Smorgasburg Los Angeles. At Butter Punk, their Butter Bomb Biscuits, among the best l've ever had, are featured in dishes to include the OG Breakfast Sammie with soufflé egg, cheddar and special mayo, and with a luscious mushroom gravy, served with paprika as well as fresh flat-leaf parsley and dill. Service is cheerful and welcoming; the eclectic ambiance gives a perfect artsy vibe. read more

Dear my fellow southerners, Comfort zones are for weenies. Do not fear the mushroom gravy--it will not disappoint. Trust the chefs, they absolutely know what they're doing. Though the seating is limited, the service is speedy, warm, and there are thriving plants everywhere so I repeat: fear not. Give it a try, and I'll pray you get a good parking spot. Yours, A guy who did not love mushrooms (but does now) read more

I was drawn to this restaurant due to a yelp review mentioning their sausage gravy with mushrooms as my husband is an avid fan of both gravy (of any kind but especially sausage gravy) and mushrooms so those two thing together had to be a hit! What we found was actually a delicious cream gravy with mushrooms (vegetarian and possibly vegan) that you could have sausage added to. This is not your grandmas biscuits and gravy but it's definitely uniquely tasty in its own way! The biscuits were fresh and you could see the hard work going into making them in the kitchen. The kitchen employees seemed to enjoy working together as a team which is always nice to see. read more

Delicious biscuits piled high or a large plate of biscuits and gravy, whatever your heart desires. Come here for breakfast immediately. Super nice staff and delicious coffee. I can see me coming to Butter Punk every visit. Don't take my word for it. Go see for yourself. Sidenote, if you drink decaf coffee, you know how hard brewed decaf is to find. They have it! read more

Staff was super friendly, I even got a visit from the sou Chef who happened to sit next to me during breakfast. They were very approachable and let me ask them questions. The biscuit was garnished with dill and I loved it! So I ask; why dill? And they said there's dill in the gravy! WOW! Would've never thought about that but ITS AMZING!! Also got the milk tea, which was delicious. This place is so good.. we went back for seconds in the same visit! We snagged brown butter pie and it's heavenly. I need to move down here bc it's so amazing. The inside was also very cute and cozy. Thanks Butter Punk read more

Super delicious. New Little spot. Inside is very cute and well curated. I like that. It stays busy, but there is never a very long. Wait because they keep the menu simple. You are going here for a biscuit or a baked good and that's what you get, and it's gonna be a good one. Dan, but not too dense, buttery and flaky, but not too flaky (Can you really be too buttery?). The coffee is also delicious, and the workers are super kind. I do wish they had a vegetarian meat alternative. read more

Love this new spot in RAD. Such a cool funky vibe inside and the biscuits are amazing. Such a nice crunchy biscuit and you have to try a pastry from the case. They rotate the options and the scones are seasonal. The blackberry scone with lemon glaze was really good. Go early, though. We got there right when it opened at 8 and it was starting to pick up when we left. About 2 hours later we passed by and there was a line out the door. Everyone in there is super friendly too! read more

The biscuits are very large and tasty- unfortunately they weren't warm (I was hoping for hot). There is an up charge for butter and jam that was ok. Hubby got a breakfast biscuit that was delicious. The candied bacon was good. Hubby had drip coffee and I had the cafe au lait. Smaller mugs than I expected but still good. The staff was friendly, decor is quirky, bathroom is clean, and there was just short wait for a table and food. There is parking on the street as well as a lot. read more

Is 5 stars really the highest rating I can give? Maybe they need to add a few more for places like this. This new women-owned biscuit bakery in Asheville's Upper River Arts District (RAD) is truly amazing and one-of-a-kind. From the interesting interior decor, to the fantastic, friendly service to the incredible food and coffee, innovative places like this are exactly what the RAD needs to usher in its recovery from last year's devastating hurricane Helene and its historic flooding. The biscuits here are without a doubt the best biscuits I've ever had. Sorry, Biscuit Head, there's no contest here. Not even my grandma's biscuits were this good. They are ample sized, golden brown and crispy on the outside and white and flaky on the inside. We had them as breakfast biscuit sammies with egg and cheese, and one with added candied bacon. Both were super good and enough for a filling breakfast before a walk along the French Broad River greenway. Their coffee is excellent as well. Prices are inline with portion size and quality of the food. We got a beautiful fresh strawberry scone with a sumac glaze to go. Haven't tried it yet, but I'm already looking forward to having it tomorrow morning for breakfast with some additional strawberries from our garden. We will definitely be back to try their biscuits with mushroom gravy and their other baked treats. It's also our new go-to coffee spot when in the RAD. UPDATE: The strawberry scone we got to go was almost as good as the biscuits, which, as I noted in my original review above, are hands down THE BEST BISCUITS EVER. read more

The owner, Beth, has curated a lovely, on-trend space. It's perfect for the RAD (River Arts District) without being too Asheville "weird" (IYKYK). I loved it! She's also entirely likeable and greeted everyone thanking them for coming. I know biscuits are personal and everyone likes what they like. However, IMHO, these are classic & perfect. I'm not an early riser so I missed out on the daily special Plum hand pie so I opted for the menu staple: egg (soufflé) biscuit sandwich. It's got a burnt scallion "mayo on it with cheese. I can't do pork so I didn't add any meat. It was genuinely yum! Rich as heck though, and messy, so I resorted to open-faced fork & knife eating. Still Amazing. I'll def be bringing my people and maybe early enough to get a daily sweet special. :) read more
