Food and service was amazing!! Lots of good food for the price, we both had leftovers for lunch the next day.

Came to Cornerstone for breakfast. What a pleasant surprise; delicious food and exceptional service from Destiny D. The restaurant is immaculate and the atmosphere is extremely appealing. We met Jennifer, the manager, and were extremely impressed with her attitude and welcoming personality. We are moving to Asheville in January and we will become regulars at this wonderful establishment! read more

We were on a mission for fried green tomatoes. They had them, they were close to the hotel. The tomatoes were fine, and it was an unusually generous portion. And this is where the positives end. I also ordered fish tacos. This was sad to the point of hilarity. At least 20 minutes after my salad was done, the three tacos came out, lettuce and tomato spilling over the top. As a rule I tend to make sure I have an even distribution of my taco fillings, so imagine my dismay to open my cold taco and find barely enough fish to actually see. Between the three tacos there was less than two ounces of actual fish, and I am being generous with that estimate. But wait--there's more. When I brought this to the attention of the manager, he asked where we were from. When I told him Florida, he actually said that was why I thought they were skimpy. Apparently fish tacos are more believable (and have real fish in them) further south. After we showed him pictures of actual fish tacos, he offered to bring out some more "grilled" fish, which (I am convinced was microwaved) did show up after another lengthy wait. Truthfully I should have been alerted when my server asked if I would like my fish grilled or fried--AFTER she took my empty salad plate that things were not looking great. My fault. To sum up: three fish-free tacos and a breathtakingly tone deaf manager. Oh-and my side of broccoli was desperately salty, Other than that, no worries. read more

The place was fine. It was a very lively place. We got there before the church/lunch rush. It was surprisingly big as we went to the way back tables. Our waiter was nice to us. The food, on the other hand, was really bad for me. My family loved their food, at least. I ordered a breakfast croissant sandwich, which said it came with fries. The sandwich was huge, so I cut it in half and looked at the avocados. They looked and tasted horrible. We told the waiter to at least tell the cooking staff about it. She was very nice when we told her, though. read more

Super cute and BEST CHILI EVER!!! Seriously blown away by the chili. Great blueberry lemonade margarita! Took a star off bc the kids spaghetti and the mac n cheese were just really lacking flavor. Fish tacos were pretty good. Would come back for that chili! read more

You will not leave hungry, the portions were huge! My husband had an omelette and I had breakfast scramble bowl. He said the chorizo was what really made the flavors come alive in his omelette. For me, it was the generous amount of potatoes in the bowl. We ate outside on the patio and really enjoyed our breakfast. Gluten free and vegetarian options! read more

Service very poor. Food mediocre. I ordered prime rib. Portion small. The second side took over 30 minutes after main. And that was after waiter came over and said it hadn't arrived. Had to ask waiter for bixes/bags three times. Wife said her fried seafood (shrimp and oysters) was good, but mac & cheese tasteless. read more

The food was the best we have had while in town for the next five days. We had an 8:45 reservation and we arrived early to see if we could get seated early which we did. Megan was our server and she is patient, knowledgeable, attentive, and professional. Do yourself a favor and visit Cornerstone! read more

Exceptional. Extensive menu. Massive amounts of food and prepared for pure comfort. Don't come here if you are trying to lose a few pounds!, they serve King Sized Portions. Food is delicious, service was exceptional and fireplace was an added bonus! read more

Very nice, we went for breakfast and my husband had steak and eggs and said everything was cooke perfectly. I just had an egg and it too was cooked the way I wanted. Service was friendly and atmosphere was pleasant. We would come back again when we are back in Asheville. read more

We finally tried eating breakfast there, since they open early and were waiting for our did at the groomers. Wanted to eat a Sunny Pointe (Exceptional) but it was closed. This place looked nice. BUT, the food was awful and the server?!?!? Can we say deer in the headlights? (Rebecca) the pancakes tasted like if you put a spoon of flour in your mouth then sipped water. It felt like having raw rue in it. I asked for fresh strawberries on top they took like 1 large strawberry and cut it in like 6 paper thin pieces. My husband's eggs were cold bacon lackluster he had to order grits because they weren't included. They were ok but nearly 5.00$, really for maybe 6 oz of grits???. We ordered coffee, still waiting for a refill. I sent my pancakes back so I just sat there waiting to leave with an empty coffee cup. We try to eat local. We don't like chains, but anything would have been better. It was over 25.00 for an egg breakfast , order of grits and 2 coffee. It wasn't even tasty it was bland and tasteless. Stay clear of this over priced under flavored, under seasoned restaurant!!!! read more

Great Ruben for lunch. Lots of meat, kraut, and cheese. Friendly service. Ate at comfortable bar. Will be back to try for breakfast.

So my recent experience at this restaurant was disappointing. First the drinks we ordered had to be sent back because they were made wrong. The fried green tomatoes were okay but all I could taste was the grease. And the chicken quesadilla look like it had been just thrown on the plate and piled up. The blackberry cobbler was tasty. The restaurant was not full, and there were multiple staff in and around the kitchen and service area. Hope you have a better experience. read more

What a great hidden gem. Our friend in Asheville recommended this for breakfast. The fresh squeezed orange juice was outstanding. Our breakfast was great and our server, Jessica, exceptional. Will definitely return during our next visit to Asheville. read more

I go every week because my friends want to go there, but I would not choose this place on my own. I'm downgrading my rating, because the hostess borders on rude, refuses to return a friendly hello, or to say welcome, which doesn't make for a pleasant start to the meal. read more

Absolutely love this place! We were staying at an air bnb near by and came in one day for lunch and it was great. The chipotle chicken wrap was divine. I wasn't the biggest fan of the Mac and cheese I would get the fries bc they were delicious. We liked it so much we came back for breakfast the next day and the waffle and sausage was sooo good! Service was great too we had two awesome servers! Highly recommend this place. read more

It's been a minute since we've been here but my wife Kathey & I stopped in for dinner. We always get great food and service at the Cornerstone and today was no different. So, Kathey chose the herb encrusted boneless pork chops with mashed taters and a salad while my pick was the seafood combo of grilled haddock and scallops with a baked tater and the coleslaw. As expected, the food was absolutely dee-lish! Our server Abbey did an outstanding job with it all. Love me some Cornerstone!! read more

Service was lackluster but not the worse we experienced. Our waitress was being run ragged and we could tell - not necessarily her fault and we felt bad but when you pay $35+ for breakfast you expect it to be a good overall experience (Waffle house is $20?). Coffee stunk and was served in a cup that was in serious need of a polishing. One of the cups also had a chip in it. Their French toast was great, decedent as all hell but tasted good. Their Matador - which is one of their flagship items was a HUGE LETDOWN. We had two for the table and both were ridiculous for $15. First off, the portion was lousy. It's supposed to be an Egg's Benedict with chorizo and avocado. There was like a table spoon of chorizo per side? One of the eggs was already had the yolk popped when served. And neither had the avocado on it. When we inquired, we got a small run around, but after some pushing we got them to bring out avocado. What was served to us too was a minuscule portion of over ripe avocado. Oh, and the sliced tomatoes for the side??? How nice one would think - what an unusual side to offer. But it was mealy and borderline unappetizing. And it was three measly slices! You're better off at other Asheville breakfast joints including the big chains. read more

We stopped at Cornerstone last night with our two kids after seeing a movie. We are not from the area and so have not experienced this restaurant previously but were staying nearby. Caroline was our server and Anita was learning alongside her. They were both great! The food was incredible and the portions were SO generous, especially for the price. My family of 4 ate for $36! The only thing keeping this from a 5 star review is that my husband and I's food came out a LONG while before the food for the kids which was slightly problematic. This was not the fault of our servers, obviously. We sat on the patio and were treated to a beautiful North Carolina sunset on our last evening. Don't pass this place up! read more

Perfect stop for a nice brunch. Great service and the menu is fantastic, plenty of options. I got the smoked salmon eggs Benedict and it was amazing. The whole restaurant has a nice rustic vibe and it was relatively calm for eating. Overall my only regret was I drank too much sweet tea cause It just kept on coming, so good!! read more

My family and I stopped in here for breakfast this morning before hitting the road back to Ky. This has some good reviews on Yelp so we decided to go for it. We walked in and it is very nice and pretty on the inside. Our waitress. Ashley, was fantastic too. Very friendly and fast. I ordered the country breakfast which was 9 bucks for biscuits gravy eggs and sausage. All was fantastic. Daughters got pancakes and fruit which they loved. Wife got banana pancakes and fried green tomatoes which was great as well. Overall and amazing place that you gotta try read more

Food was overly disgusting for a not so busy night. Our cheese curds arrived on a plate sitting in a pool (literally) of oil. Chicken was juicy, but not much flavor or seasonings. Definitely no salt. Onion rings were separating from the breading and were not held together well. Best item of the whole meal was the side order of broccoli which did have a nice buttery taste but was sitting in a pool of water. For a restaurant that advertises breakfast, lunch, and dinner all day, only the dinner menu was able to be ordered from which was very disappointing. read more

I've been driving for hours to get to Asheville. I ate at the Cornerstone on my last trip to Asheville. I walked up to the front door to order 3 pieces of pie at 7:50 pm. The restaurant closes at 9pm. The girls at the front reception booth were so busy laughing and having a good time that I seemed to interrupt their good time. My apologies for that. When I asked for my 3 slices of pie, after waiting another 5 minutes for them to finish their story, they said they were closed for takeout. CLOSED. Closed to cut 3 slices of pie. WOW. I can't even begin to tell you the look on my face. They turned around as if I was not there and continued their conversation. Think long and hard before going to Cornerstone. Not sure what kind of service you will get. read more

This is a 3.5 rounded up to a four. We had a party of 6 and had to wait a little while for a table. Once we were seated our waitress took a while to take our drink and appetizer order. She was really nice but lost our ticket and we had to repeat our order. Once the food came out it was really good. Everyone enjoyed their entrees. Cornerstone locally owned which is a nice! I ordered the ahi tuna salad, a couple of others ordered the ribeye and gyro. The onion rings were amazing and huge! This restaurant is walkable from the homewood suites. Minus the service we had a good experience. read more

We came back for dinner the same evening we ordered the calamari appetizer which I'm sorry was not good at all it was over breaded and the sauce that they serve with it was really weird it was a white sauce not the normal marinara. My daughter ordered the I have to say strawberry salad because I don't remember the name and it was fantastic, I ordered the lasagna with a side salad I wasn't impressed the lasagna just wasn't good didn't have a lot of flavor besides salad of course was the bomb I mean how can you really mess up a salad. But let me again state the Monte Cristo sandwich that I have earlier in the day was fantastic. read more

I know Asheville is known as a foodie city, having said that we look and read and ask for recommendations for a good place for breakfast After our research, we decided to come to Cornerstone diner, after waiting for about 10 minutes for a table we seat down in the patio area that is cover with plastic awning It was then that our server aka misfortune happened Teresa was rude from the get to go, she had an attitude when I asked for a grilled chicken breast she rolled her eyes She served coffee and took forever to check on us to take our order when she was passing by my husband ask for more coffee she didn't respond, after about 3 minutes my husband asked her again and she replied "i already heard you" but didn't bring the coffee The place got very very hot and we saw the awning being rolled over in order to give shade to customers seating but ours was rolled all the way up and by now we were sweating When she walk by I asked her who was controlling the awning, she said "God" and kept on walking We needed napkins and we asked a nice young last and she brought us coffee explained yo us that the awning couldn't be ser half way and it was then that we asked to see the manager After talking to manager she lower the awning, she laughs when we told her about our experience with Teresa My husband the birthday boy never tried his food We paid and left Szhvilke has TONS of gorgeous beautiful cozy restaurants THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM read more

Located right around the corner from our hotel we decided to stop in for breakfast and boy were we surprised!!! We were promptly seated by a window which makes me happy since we were from out of town. Our waitress was super sweet and was very attentive and made sure our coffee cups were full. Lets get to the important stuff.....the food. I got the berry waffles, homestyle potatoes, with a bisciut and gravy. Everything was delicious. Also the ranch dressing that they had was homemade which i always appreciate. We will definitely be back there next time we are in Asheville. read more

Cornerstone has turned into a breakfast tradition for us on our yearly trip to Asheville. They have a great menu with several fresh and different options.

My Beau and I visited in March, before the world closed due to Covid and we were amazed by the location. First, it smelled amazing on the inside. Our Waiter Graham was friendly and fun and encouraged us to look over the menu, made a suggestion about the ribs and let us peruse while he got our drink order. When he came back, we started with fried green tomatoes, and I opted to get the ribs with mashed potatoes and zucchini, my beau wanted a bowl of soup and a grilled cheese, and some chicken tenders.. We ended up with a table full of food, and a lot of left overs. Everything was was amazing. We picked and shared between us and conversed about our day. Graham picked up that it was a birthday celebration and brought by a piece of birthday cake at the end of our meal! I wish this was a Florida location. read more

Absolutely 5 stars ! We had a party of 4 and although it was lunch time in Saturday we were seated quickly. We all ordered differently but I only took a picture of mine. Amazing Blackberry cream cheese stuffed French toast ! It was huge and so delicious. My daughter had chicken fingers with crispy fries that were delicious and the honey mustard was so good . One of the others in the party got a French Dip with sweet potato fries and loved it . The last order was a western omelette and she had a choice of pancakes, toast and grits , biscuit and gravy or home fries with toast , she chose the biscuit and gravy and was not disappointed. They were continually making fresh delicious hot coffee and the service were impressive. I would actually drive back to eat again. I mean it's a huge menu and I must try more items. read more

It was a nice looking restaurant and the food was ehh ok. I got the meatloaf and it was cut thin then grilled. Ran out of mashed potatoes so we had to settle with Mac and Cheese which was tasty. My only complaint is seems they wash the dishes behind this half walled off area basically in the middle of the restaurant (who does that??) And it was EXTREMELY noisy to the point it was irritating. No one wants to enjoy a meal listening to dishes clanging around. Would I come back, probably not it gave me a headache. On the upside, you got seated right away and the waitress was very nice...oh and they have 4.00 glasses of wine, that's always a plus read more
