A great chicken sandwich, but I prefer to be able to eat without hearing f-bombs coming from the kitchen, which is literally 10 feet away. I listened to some woman talking about she was "f-ing pissed" about something, and some "F-ing huge apartment". I'm certainly no prude, but I'm also one who was raised that that particular word is NOT part of everyday conversation. read more

We've been going to Sand Hill since they opened! Food is consistently good. One of the best fried chicken sandwiches in town! I particularly love their lemon bars that they make on occasion. read more

What a gem. I've been here twice now and have loved it. First time was breakfast. I had a breakfast scramble that had sausage, egg and a Cayenne sauce that was very good. The ingredients blended well together. Yesterday I had the Reuben sandwich accompanied by the collard greens. The Reuben was one of the best I've ever had. The bread soft in the middle, right amount of sauerkraut, and a thick slice of pastrami. Collard greens were not a gummy mess but were soft and had a great texture. read more

So hubby and I, plus the kid by default decided to forgo the free breakfast at our hotel in favor of exploring local eats. With that said, we wanted to save most of our blow out meals for dinner. Thus I was happy to come across this place. Anyway, like Charme C. mentions, this spot is located inside a gas station. Not near it or attached to it, but inside it. Yeah, that's right. And I don't know about you, but when I think of gas station food, a phrase I use VERY loosely, my mind goes to the wrinkled-like-a-prune, sketchy looking hot dogs the high school kids snack on at my neighborhood fuel center. No worries of that here: This is food made with love. In fact, I had the chance to chat with the friendly chef/owner and from what I recall, she is a home cook who decided to grab the opportunity to open a restaurant in this location in an effort to provide affordable, thoughtfully prepared food to locals in need of such an option. As for our breakfast, I adored my Grit Cakes, something I'd never tried before. They are like a lighter, less dense version of Polenta Cakes, if you're familiar, but made with Grits of course. Hubby wasn't as enamored with his Breakfast Burrito, but I took a bite and it was definitely solid and fresh tasting, especially for the price. Kid, who's never encountered a Chicken Biscuit he didn't like, was happy with his pick. Interestingly, while conversing with the aforementioned chef/owner, she confided that she makes her Biscuits using only cream and no butter. So know that the Biscuits here are soft and tender, but different. Personally, I prefer the flavor and flakiness that butter adds. But that's me. The dining space for this little eatery is off to the side, away from the rest of the Gas Station. But don't go expecting much in terms of ambiance. There's some seating, and for us, at least, it was perfectly fine for a quick, uber casual breakfast. I kind of wish we'd had time to stop in again to try the Beet Sandwich that Hillary E. raves about. Maybe next time and I really hope there will be one.:) read more

We were like, how could a place that is located in a gas station have 68 five star reviews? Then we discovered -- it is fantastic. Next time I have people in town who want Southern, but in a great way, as opposed to a mass-produced-huddle-house way, I will take them all the way across town to this gas station. I got the Bowl of Goodness with grit cakes and sausage gravy and it almost killed me but, wow read more

These guys are awesome! I stumbled across their restaurant while taking a short-cut (I thought it was going to be a short-cut). I needed gas and stopped at the BP station. Traffic was backed up on Sardis Rd. so I decided to get a bite to eat. Great hamburger for around $10 with homemade tater chips. Nice little detour and spontaneous venture that paid off. They have plenty of variety on their menu. Anxious to try their chicken sandwich. Will recommend you should try at least once. read more

Sand Hill Kitchen - Nice visit, friendly staff, delicious burger - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

This was surprisingly super yummy! We got breakfast there and both got the bowl of freshness. I couldn't finish it because there was so much but it was soo good! They make there sausage homemade & the sauce they put on top was really good too. The only reason why I'm not giving it 5 stars is because it is in a gas station. If it was in its own stand alone place it would be the spot! The menu is limited but the choices are solid. Don't underestimate a place that is in a gas station! It might surprise you! read more

Sand Hill Kitchen - A lot of food! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Love me a convenience store diner! San Hill Kitchen is delicious. We had the rueben, fried chicken sandwich, and a cheeseburger. Everything was cool perfectly and super flavorful. read more

Popped in here before a hike. Was full of working locals; construction, painters, UPS drivers. A great sign that proved to be accurately read. We had the roasted beet sandwich: Fantastic veggie option. Grilled cheese for the kiddo, and fried chicken sandwich. All were outstanding. This is just a counter with a few tables in a gas station, but one of the best things I've eaten in a while. read more

Don't let the location fool you, as it's located in the gas station. The food and service is perfect. Very delicious! This might be one of my new favorite breakfast & lunch spots. A true hidden gem. We had a pork belly BLT and fried chicken sandwich. With Homemade pickles and homemade chips. I ate food too fast so sorry, no photos. lol read more

This place is IT! The staff are the best. The burger, Fried green tomato BLT, breakfast burritos are huge and yummy.

I love SHK for breakfast and lunch! Everything on the menu is excellent, and they have great daily specials. The Love Cheeseburger is one of the best in town. For breakfast, the chicken biscuit can't be beat! Occasionally the special is French toast with chicken tenders and blueberries. That's my absolute favorite, and I wish it was on the menu daily! So excited they are now offering dinner a few days a week, and I look forward to what they will be offering! As others have said, don't let the gas station location discourage you from eating here, it's truly some of the best food in town. It's nice to not have to go downtown or into West Asheville for a tasty meal. On busy days we usually order ahead and get it to go because seating is limited. read more

We were in Asheville for a long weekend and searched Yelp for a place for Saturday brunch. Thankfully we tried Sand Hill Kitchen. This was hands down the best meal we had while in town. We ordered the BLT + egg, fried chicken + egg, and eggs + sausage + potatoes. We spent the meal both offering each a bite of what we ordered and yet hoping they wouldn't want a second. So fresh. So yummy. So off the beaten path, we're lucky we didn't miss it. Do yourself a favor and stop by. We will definitely be back. read more

Great food and great people. Perfect when I'm in the mood for a treat. Fried chicken biscuit never disappoints

Delicious, well priced food in an unlikely location! Don't be fooled by the exterior, folks, SHK has a delicious breakfast worthy of bellying up to the table as well as fluffy biscuits stuffed with all kinds of goodies! Don't forget to come by for lunch and sample a nice assortment of well made sandwiches, a great "Love" cheeseburger, and the Kitchen Sink salad. My favorites include the Roasted Beet sandwich and the award-winning fried chicken sandwich! read more

I love, love, love Sandhill Kitchen! Wonderful owners, great food and one of my top 3 casual food stops in my general neighborhood. Food is fresh and locally sourced. It's located in a gas station so you can easily miss it but don't let that deter you. It is currently only open as a drive through take out but they have managed to stay open during this pandemic and I am eternally grateful! My heart would break if they went away. I should add that I am terribly picky about my food and yet I don't like to cook and clean . Thank you Jamie for keeping this gem open no matter what! Nancy read more

I still can't believe that good this good comes from a gas station cafe. Every time I have the fried chicken sandwich, I'm blown away. I brought the family this time and everything they got was awesome, too! That cheeseburger was as juicy and messy as a good one should be, and it now contends with the Vault Burger for my fav burger in town. I was sad that the potato salad was sold out, but the pasta salad was good as well. House made pickles and chips are just as good as the main courses! read more

Yum! I've heard a lot of things about this place recently and ordered lunch for pick up. I didn't realize it was in the gas station. The beet sandwich was really good, perfect with the rye bread. My burger was delicious too. Everything tasted so fresh and was prepared great. Our sides, chips and potato salad, were spot on as well. We were intrigued by the grit cakes on the menu and they let us add some to our order, we loved them, a unique twist on classic grits. Can't wait to eat here again. read more

This is one of those places that you don't want to put on Yelp, because you know the lines are just going to get longer as people find out about this place... but then you remember other yelpers have helped you discover places before, and that sharing is caring. Look, it's in a gas station, and honestly not even that great of a gas station, you sit right next to the isles of snacks... but the food will have you forgetting where you are with the first bite. Everything I have gotten here consistently exceeded my already high expectations. Each item goes the extra mile, like the chicken biscuit comes with a generous amount of honey, or the tenders have just a hint of rosemary, or the turkey sandwich where the turkey is marinated in some great spices. It doesn't have reclaimed wood with Edison bulbs in the interior, but if your after good food, look no further than Sand Hill Kitchen. read more

Gem in a gas station!!! Who knew? Obviously a few people who rightly gave this place five stars. Limited menu but tasty food. I had picante burrito....who knew melting sharp cheddar on the outside of tortilla on the flat top could be sooooooo good!?! Daughter had egg/cheese biscuit and again w/the "griddle crust" in the biscuit. And did I mention size???? Good coffee...always needed for my day to go well. . Fast service and friendly staff along with good prices. read more

We have been to SHK many, many times. Great food across the board. However, the bulk of their lunch menu is sandwiches now running $10-13 each with a tiny side. Overpriced for essentially a drive-thru experience at a gas station. Could be more palatable if the large sandwich portions were smaller and more suited to a lighter mid-day meal rather than a heavy dinner. Hand-made desserts are delicious, but also overpriced. Amazing food, but we've been going to SHK less frequently due to the poor value. read more

Great little restaurant attached to service station. Was wonderfully surprised by the Turkey sandwich that I got. Was full of flavor and could tell the ingredients were quality. Would recommend based on taste, quality and price. Don't the the gas station fool you. This is a legit place to eat. Will be back again soon. read more

On a quick Asheville trip, I ate at several of the go-to establishments with 500+ Yelp reviews. Despite the competition, this was THE best meal I had that weekend. My husband and I split the burger and fried chicken sandwich between ourselves, both were fantastic. But the burger was SO good, I made us order another one just so I could enjoy it a little more The ingredients are fresh and high quality, they don't try to overcompensate with grease or salt. The employees offer fun, laid back hospitality. And if you're worried about a gas station- the restaurant and bathrooms were all sparkling clean. 10/10! read more

Like others, I was hesitant about this gas station spot. I was quickly proven wrong. Between the excellent service (straight forward with just the right amount of attention to detail) and the made from scratch menu, I left with nothing but a full belly and a new love for this neighborhood joint. I had the Reuben, which is always a risk for me when eating out because I am quite picky about them and it was the best I have been able to find in quite a while. Fresh corn beef and LOADED with kraut, it was stunning. Highly recommend visiting this locally owned and operated kitchen. These girls are KILLING IT! read more

Best Reuben I've had in years. My husband had a burger, it was great with the homemade chips. Quirky, eclectic....our kind of place!

The best fried chicken sandwich that I have ever had. People told me if you visit Asheville to make sure you stop out here. It was worth the side trip. The sandwich is juicy on the inside, a little bit extra crisp on the outside, just how I like it. Chips were homemade, decent but not amazing. service was quick and friendly. It's in a gas station, blink and you will miss it, but go back of you do as it's well worth it. read more

This is my first review on yelp and I'm delighted to give a shout out to Sand Hill Kitchen. This is the kind of place you would totally expect to appear on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. Who would ever think such awesome diner would be co-located within a gas station. Awesome! I went there with two friends. The owner was friendly and the food was fantastic. I had the chicken sandwich. Perfect! I am jealous of the locals but will definitely stop by next time I am in Asheville, NC. read more

This restaurant joins a great tradition of gas station restaurants we've enjoyed. Don't let that fool you or you will miss out. They report that they make everything in-house and you can tell.We had lunch here. My husband had a cheeseburger: it was amazing--fresh beef, perfectly cooked. It had grilled onions and all the flavors just combined. Cravable, my husband said. He also said it did not need the bacon he ordered on it. I had a meatless Monday egg salad sandwich. It was typical egg salad, but on fresh bread with grilled onions, tomato, and spinach. The stars of the meal? The pickles, house made chips, and the chocolate chip cookies. Cookies: soft (not crispy), thin but not too thin, and the lovely taste of butter and egg in the background. All in all, a good experience!!! read more

I would give this more than 5 stars if I could. I was questioning whether or not to eat here, as I typically don't eat at restaurants attached to gas stations. BOY AM I GLAD I DID!! The food was amazing and the portions were very sizable! This is obviously a hidden gem....go check it out! read more
