Debbie Packer

The sweet potato pancake is my favorite (and what I always get), but this time I tried the beet salad and it was SO good! I had apparently never eaten goat cheese and it's now my favorite.

Nick Aguirre

A foodie nirvana. The food is as good as hyped. Order the Chicken Piccata with shrimp . You will not be disappointed. Great selection of Asheville-area craft brews . Biscuits with jam are terrific.

stephanie s.

We loved the fried green tomatoes with cheese grits and warm biscuits with homemade blueberry jam & Tupelo honey. Trout was perfect; veggie burger was good. Great drinks. Delish pecan pie for dessert !

J.M. Denman

Goat cheese grits and the chopped egg and avocado sandwich . Get the beet salad with the dressing on the side, it was a little heavy. The biscuits and blueberry jelly are wonderful - ask for more.

Epicurious

Vegetables and herbs are provided by the owners' own 10-acre farm . A local bakery supplies the bread , and nearby breweries deliver their best beers , including Pisgah's Organic Pale Ale . Read more

J Crowley

Food and beers all delicious. I had to recommend only one thing - it’s their desserts . The banana cream pie and the pecan pie were outstanding.

Alix Record

Omg! Died and gone to food heaven???????? ribs so good even the fat on them is good. The white sauce on the chicken is perfect. Sides are too good. We'll be back!

Kira Rocha

Very fun place to be. Some good beer selection . Beet salad was great, Kenny pancakes with chicken , greets with shrimp , and ribs appetizer (2 small ribs ). I enjoyed the cider from the drinks.

John Kraft

I had prosciutto-wrapped cod on succotash & puréed squash . Wife: pan-seared trout , corn soufflé & Brussels Sprouts she raved over. Free biscuits & all great. Her margarita ok, but smallish. honey/jam.

Shaksuka! Wow! Baked eggs overgoat cheese grits and creole sauce with avocado ! I was thinking soup but "Oh My God" was that a good "southern" Turkish delight !

Cassie Gibb

I’ve been here previously once two years ago. They change their menu pretty frequently. I had the lavender limeade and mountain harvest bowl. Great service!

Kate

The Brussels sprouts are so crispy and the chicken fell off the bone. I thought the fried pickles were a bit too pepper-y for my liking, but still good nonetheless

Jed Singer

Oh my god everything on the menu looks amazing. This place makes me want to eat, throw up, and order another meal. Could probably eat here every meal for a week.

Tracy Lowe

Good food but overpriced somewhat. The bloody Mary's were delicious. The Shakshuka was amazing. However, we did not like the meatloaf . The sides we had lacked flavor. Biscuits were to die for!

Madeline Bieda

Appalachian Johnny cakes , friend chicken , fried green tomatoes , Cajun scallop sofritos, side of biscuits with homemade blueberry compote ???????? all dank as hell

Sarah G.

Go hungry-- everything on the menu is delicious, + they bring you a biscuit with blueberry jam & honey before your meal. Save room for dessert as they've got the best pecan pie in town , hands down.

Amanda Webb

Brunch was absolutely amazing! We sat at the bar , in front of Chef Dave. He made great recommendations and kept us entertained. He made the experience that much better! Loved THC!

Amol Utrankar

The french toast with fried chicken , bacon , and candied pecans is a must. Literally the definition of a perfect Southern brunch . ????????

Dan Griffin

It's hard to explain how awesome this place is. It's as if you are experiencing the entire breadth of North Carolina cuisine in one menu. You can't go wrong with any item.

Fish Fish

Really good food here. Have to recommend the banana pudding ! Their house Rye Ale was delicious. Just the right amount of Rye ! All well worth the wait for a table.

jiresell

Delicious! Be prepared to get huge helpings! Try the southern breakfast with sausage , onion , potatoes , eggs and black-eyed peas !

Mairead M

Hard to choose with so many great choices on this menu! Black bean burger and corn on the cob are delicious! Try the raspberry basil lemonade , but make sure to order a glass of water too.

Lynn Marie Franco

Amazing southern breakfast spot . They really know how to step up chicken and waffles . Get a pint-size mimosa !

Daniel A

Don’t miss out on the Fried Okra or the Pimento Cheeseburger w/ Fried Pickles . They also serve up a nice iced nitro cold brew . Great place!

Kevin Dudley

Fried Green Tomatoes on goat cheese grits are amazing. The Shoo Mercy Shrimp & Grits are well worth the upgrade! They will blow your mind...

Jen Cunningham

They make really good bloody marys and their breakfast is delicious. Try the sweet potato pancakes !

Adam Smith

Pancakes and fried chicken BLT . Also the coffee milk stout beer is great. You can't go wrong here.

David Pitts

100% awesome southern food . Top 5 pork dish I've ever had and the fried green tomatoes were outstanding.

Marisol Pluhar

Try the sweet potato pancakes with fried chicken for a twist on chicken and waffles ! The burger is also delicious!

Eva Smith

Good tasty fried chicken over mashed potatoes , same with catfish and grits , fried okra . service good, prices moderate to high noise, diner setting with a modern twist

Michael Leis

Everything is great here. Chicken biscuit , drinks. And definitely get the regular fried chicken before trying the coated.

Paul McRae

Had a great breakfast here. Bacon , eggs and grits were awesome along with the biscuit adorned with, you guessed it, honey . I would definitely suggest THC.

Zulma Bauzo-Sola

My husband enjoyed the sriracha chicken and waffles , spicy cauliflower bites and I absolutely loved the avocado toasts ! Yummy!

PureWow

Get the Southern Belle, with Brie , gorgonzola and homemade pear-and-onion marmalade on sourdough . Read more

Mike Martoccia

Had maple butter salmon , fried chicken , spicy Mac and cheese , BBQ egg rolls , and sweet potato pancake . All 10/10

Roaming Gnome

Order the Kenny Special: sweet potato pancake with fried chicken and pecans on top. It was named after a waiter named Kenny. Which makes sense.

Xaque Williams

Okra ! Southern eggroll ! Fried green tomatoes ! And an excellent beer selection , not to mention the friendly staff were awesome as well

Karen Pace

Nom nom nom. Ah-mazing. Grits , Mac n' cheese , grilled cheese , burger cooked to perfection. Sat at the bar . Can't wait to come back for breakfast !

Todd White

Best breakfast place in town . The fried green tomatoes and chicken and waffles are always awesome but everything is amazing

D Schultz

Great food. Live the grits . Bloody Mary is awesome. Try the pickled okra . Wait staff extremely nice. Overall a keeper .

Carol T

The fried chicken strombolica was beyond awesome. It came with mashed cheesy cauliflower . (which was so good I ordered an extra side of it!). Eat at the bar - less wait & watch them cook.

Lilchelpz

Interesting that it looked so much better than it tasted. I assume it was just an “off” day for the kitchen because we’ve heard such great things.

JD Herrera

Sit at the chefs table if possible you get a great show. Everything is wonderful. Excelent staff , great service. Instant favorite.

Austin Arnold

Everything is delicious here! I highly recommend the meatloaf !! And get the smashed sweet potatoes ! I can't wait until there's one in Charlotte!

Nash Pleasant

Great spot in downtown Asheville. Locally sourced and sustainable food for brunch or dinner . Solid cocktails

Sharon Overby

Great Fried Green Tomato BLT with Pimento Cheese with a side of Brussel Sprouts ....yum!

A Robinson

Southern cooking with a twist. I loved this hidden gem . Get there early because there will be a crowd.

Melissa Longwill-Ackerman

Had the curry chicken tacos , spicy but very delicious! The blueberry preserves are amazing. Very nice establishment.

Bethany Decossas

The Appalachian Egg Rolls were a DELICIOUS appetizer ! All the food is super fresh and local and it really makes a difference. So yummy!

Renee Perelmuter

Worth the wait. Server was nice. Food was great and prices reasonable for the quality of food. Banana pudding and pecan pie were wonderful too.
