There was a long wait to be seated for brunch. Very understandable on a Sunday morning. We decided to wait and try it out just to be disappointed. First they didn’t do egg whites for my wife, really!?! Only to get an attitude from the server. Then we was ignored for the hour it took to get our food only to be disappointed again. We will never return. Do not recommend !

Went on recommendation that this was the place to get corn beef and cabbage. It’s a bad day for any restaurants and I get that. So I didn’t mind when my margarita was super unbalanced. I just asked for oj and fixed it. I didn’t care about the poor presentation. I overlooked the watery cabbage and the unseasoned boiled potato. I guess herbs are not available. I had just about 85% grizzle on my one piece of meat. I can overlook that the one eatable bite had absolutely no salt and was chewy with a blob of cheap mustard. I can overlook that it was cold and 28$ because what do you expect on saint Patrick’s day. But here the thing…I work in the industry and I told the manager nicely it missed the mark. She gave me an attitude and stood by the meal. So ok- I’ll be happy to show you my dinner on all social media. So you can stand by it. Today I turned forty and this marks the official worst meal I’ve ever had.

The food was fine but the service was terrible. You can find something with food just as good or better with much better service.
John Edwards
This is the best breakfast in Asheville. The food is traditional style and simple but made with superior ingredients and skill. Everything here is the best version of that dish. Brussels are the best Brussels, brats are the best brats, and the pancakes are honestly the best I've ever had.
Kirt and Cathy Kaempfer
Hipster meets old time diner. The best of the two worlds with wonderful service and old school favorites with a twist. Casey (KC) was on point with the service: timely, friendly and engaging. Had the skirt steak sandwich, not sure what the sauce was, but reminded me of something mom used to brew up in the kitchen. Real deal french fries with skin on…Pancake was as big as the plate. Highly recommend locally sourced, and an excellent value.

Nice little breakfast find, they offer traditional breakfast like biscuits and gravy, pancakes ? and other egg dishes.They are apparently really busy and wait staff gives off that “we don’t need your business vibes” and you need to overly thank them for doing their roles.No substitutions on certain days as the kitchen is pretty busy.Parking can be found behind the restaurant and we got a table right away, only a couple open when we arrived.Pancakes were really good, coffee decent, the sausage was pretty tough, eggs nice and biscuit quality a little smothered by the gravy.Price was right and it was a nice breakfast spot, will try their corn beef (I think that’s what it was) next time.
Michael Lampen
Good breakfast, enjoyed the biscuits and gravy. Biscuits were a bit dry though. Wife had prime rib Benedict which was also great. Definitely will be back.
Eric Durham
Smaller (delicious) food menu but with plenty of cool drink options. Most of the meals are between $10-$16 a plate, but they are definitely worth it. My wife and I were impressed by the quality and how well all of the flavors on the plates went together; there was real thought put into the components of each plate. The service was friendly and fast, and the whole place was clean and neat. Couldn’t recommend more and will be back to try other meals.
Parking: Plenty of parking around the building

Delicious!!! Buckwheat pancakes were gluten free and AH-mazing!!! So good that we didn’t get a picture before they were gobbled up. Thank you, Sawhorse!!
Sally Noble
Went for an early Friday night dinner and snagged seats at the bar. Our server was very welcoming and helpful with great menu recommendations. Not pictured was a delicious cup of red split pea soup for a starter and we shared our entrees. Beef was cooked perfectly, meat pie was hearty and flavorful and all of the accompanying vegetables really made the courses shine. Wasn’t sure I had room for dessert but I’m so glad I ordered the Maple Eclair. That might’ve been my favorite bite of the night!They’re busy/popular on weekends so I’d recommend hitting up Sawhorse for a weeknight dinner. So glad we finally checked this place out! We will most definitely be back.
10 of us had breakfast here recently and it was extremely good.Biscuits and gravy were loved by all, and the breakfast sausage sandwich was amazing. Service was friendly and beers were cold!
Sally Noble
Drink menu curated with intention. Saw some fun Amaro bottles, Underberg, sessionable beers like Pils and Guinness and cocktail special. The meat pie was so yummy, especially with house pickles and mustard. The maple eclair was the highlight of our meal! The bartender was so friendly and offered some great recommendations. We’ll be back soon!
Dawn Gibson
Our first time here, and we had an amazing breakfast!The pancakes were rich, with tasty creamy butter and REAL maple syrup.The bacon was smokey flavored and perfectly crispy!And the Strawberry Cobbler Donut…Oh my!Get the Bloody Mary. Just perfect!! Toni, makes a perfect drink, and took great care of us.We will definitely be back!! ?
Deidre Boyd Baker
What a great find. We were on the road coming back from TN and Google led me to this restaurant. Our food was delicious. I love farm to table style restaurants. Definitely will be returning.
Stephanie El-Hajj
Still awesome. This time I got an iced Canadian coffee spiked with booze and maple syrup. So good. Also got mushrooms and caramelized onions on toast (incredible) and cod cakes. The cakes were fine but the mushroom dish did not want to share the spotlight. The wait staff are all wonderful.---Hell yeah. We sat at the bar and Kacie(?) greeted us like old friends. We ordered right down the ala carte menu because we wanted to try everything, and everything was great. We also got the brussels sprouts.Y'all, I don't care what you're eating, just make sure to get the brussels sprouts.Friendly, community vibe and not your standard southern fare if you need a break from that.
