The locals raved over the nachos and I heard them ask for the recipe. I'm here to rave to you over the side salad. You get a choice of "boring fries" (their name not mine) or a side salad with your sandwich. Holy cow, that's the best side salad I've ever had. No boring iceberg and insipid tomatoes here. Spring greens, sweet onion, shaved fennel, gourmet tomatoes, pepitas (pumpkin seeds), Craisins and lots of fresh herbs with an amazing house-made vinaigrette dressing. Impressive. Absolutely make a stop here and see for yourself.

It's not often a breakfast spot makes its way onto my Michelin radar. So when I saw this bad boy…read morepop up during my first trip to Asheville, I knew I had to check it out. I figured I'd have to get there right when they opened to beat the crowd. Then I hit snooze about a thousand times and stumbled in a few hours later. Somehow there were only three people in line. While the cashier at the counter cut me off after I ordered two items, telling me I was "going too fast"... I thought she was about to ruin my morning. Turns out she was an angel, guiding me to the light. She recommended The Standard, which I assumed was just a basic-ass breakfast sandwich, then told me to get it on the biscuit instead of the bread/roll/bun/whatever. That flaky, buttery, soft biscuit made me feel like I was in heaven. And don't forget the herb mayo--the cherry on top of one of the best milkshakes... I mean sandwiches... I've ever had. The lavender, fairy-dust, moon-water, up-your-ass spritzer seasonal special or whatever the hell it was... also delicious. Such an amazing way to start my day that when I told my friends about it, they immediately wanted to go for lunch. I RARELY, IF EVER, EAT AT THE SAME RESTAURANT TWICE IN ONE DAY. By lunchtime I felt like I should've been getting employee discounts. Hell, it was so damn hot in Asheville I bought one of their tank tops after breakfast... then came back wearing it for lunch like I'd worked there for years. I'll spare you the details of everything we ordered, but let me tell you this: not a single complaint. And that's saying something with the group of professional complainers I seem to have surrounded myself with. If you're reading this, lady at the counter--you were right. I hope you're out there telling other lost souls they're going too fast... and to get the biscuit. Asheville might've gotten the Michelin recognition, but you deserve a star too. Verdict: I'd eat here twice in one day again

Like many cafés in Asheville, it's a self-bussing establishment, so guests return their own dishes after eating. The cafe is charming, with plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating. The staff were warm, welcoming, and food was very good. We ordered drinks which was okay...next time I'll opt for water. Luckily, the Buddha Bowl and the breakfast sandwich served on a perfectly baked biscuit, and both were fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. I even bought their after-meal herbal tonic a try--not sure if it worked, but like to try it to give my stomach more energy and room to eat!!!

They do traditional Southern staples especially well, including grits and country-fried steak, and the fried chicken was pretty good too. Their biscuits are a bit different from the classic Southern style--more fluffy than crumbly--but my friend loved them. The service was very efficient, though at times we felt a bit rushed. For example, a server cleared my plate while I was still eating my biscuit and didn't ask whether I was finished. We were a little surprised by that, especially since the restaurant wasn't even busy. The food deserves a four star, but the service made it a bit lacking. The ambiance was excellent. The space is large, with indoor and outdoor seating options, booths, tables, and bar seating. There's also plenty of room between parties, making it feel comfortable and relaxed despite its size.

Today I found myself near the one local store we hvae in Asheville, so I headed over there for a late lunch. For getting there at 2pm I was surprised the parking lot was so full - usually a good sign. There was a very short line, my wait to order was less than 3 minutes. the store was exceedingly clean and the staff was very friendly. I ordered a bacon deluxe, onion rings, and a caramel shake, then found a booth in a quiet corner. My lunch was delivered surprisingly quickly for having been cooked to order. My burger was great. The meat was tasty and well cooked, the bacon still had a bit of chew to it rather than being overly crisped, the tomato was good, the lettuce had some crunch. Best true fast food burger I've had in some time. A definite 5. The onion rings were good but not great. Crispy outside, but not much onion inside. The shake was very good, tasty, and about as thick as you can yet without needing a spoon. If it was closer to my house than a 30 minute drive I would be a regular customer. I'll certainly keep my eyes open for their restaurants in my travels. Wish I could give 4 1/2 stars, it was definitely better than a 4, but not quite a 5.

I ordered a basic item off the menu (wrap) and specifically asked for no sauce on the wrap and to put the sauce on the side. I drove all the way home (20 min) to discover that they soaked it in sauce. I had to toss it. The ticket even says "sauce on the side." Between the long wait and lack of attention to detail, I doubt I will go back here. Shoulda gone to Bojangles like I had planned.
