22 Best Southern Restaurants in Asheville

“Outstanding service along with a seasonal menu is a win! You have to get the filet, eggplant manicotti and peach burrata salad, so good. Can’t wait to get back and try more items!“

“My friends and I ate here during our visit to Asheville in August 2024 and I can’t stop thinking about it. It was so good! I cannot wait to have another opportunity to go back“

“I highly recommend any business that steps up for their community in times of need. thank you for getting those 596 people fed yesterday!! kudos!“

“I heard about Biscuit Head about a month ago, through a Facebook ad. We were in Asheville to visit Biltmore after Christmas,and visited Biscuit Head on Biltmore Ave twice in two days! The whole staff was so friendly, and the vibe in the restaurant is so fun!! Everything we had both days was fantastic! I ordered the Mimosa fried chicken biscuit both days, and the biscuit donuts, as well! I had to keep apologizing to my family because I was making too many “yum” noises. My husband said the sausage gravy was the best he’s had in ever, and your coffee was great!! When we left yesterday, we genuinely intended to come back for Brunch #3, but the moods were not in our favor today. We look forward to coming back next time we are in Asheville!!“

“My girlfriend and I were in town to celebrate our one year. We decided to try out Tupelo Honey. The food was absolutely fantastic and the service was amazing. It has a great atmosphere with an outdoor seating option with a view of downtown. If you’re ever in Asheville I HIGHLY recommend you giving Tupelo Honey a chance!“

“I had the glazed meatloaf. Innovative and tasty. Crispy potatoes are a nice contrast in texture. Room is noisy but there is outdoor seating

Parking: Hard to find at night with all the visual clutter. Use an inline map for guidance.“

“Rachael, our server at Early Girl, was one of the best I can remember! Attentive, thoughtful, and funny without being overly so. Truly a delight! (The prices at EG are surprisingly high for what it is - this lowered my overall rating of the experience.)“

“Definitely one of the best, if not the best, in Asheville!“

“WOW! Very good food and service. We will be back to try other dishes from their menu.“

“The food was so good and the service was awesome. Everyone was so nice! We will definitely be back again!“

“Best pulled pork I have ever eaten. I wished they had a place in South Carolina. I had collards and Okra with the pulled pork. My wife and I both thought it was excellent!“

“One of my favorite places in Asheville, and that's really saying something. The entire menu is great and I love all of the staff. They know me by name and are always so friendly! Sarah often draws little cartoons on the to-go boxes which really adds to the charm. I'd have never expected to find such a great restaurant in a gas station but I've never been disappointed.“

“Love the Luella’s bbq! Just wish they had the NFL games on the television! Bbq and football 🏈!!“

“Food was great our waitress was great and informative.“

“The veggie breakfast bowl was so delicious and amazing I think it was my favorite breakfast ever in my 19 years of life. Thank you very much it was delicious and very good service. I am visiting from Vermont.“

“We were a party of 8...in the summer...around lunchtime...so it was crowded but we were seated quickly..had biscuits right away and our food came out quickly...portions were huge..(.I think the meatloaf slice was a pound of beef by itself.)..Staff were courteous and helpful with our wheelchair and walkers.food was reasonably priced... our only "negative" comment would be that some desserts ran out :( but everything else was great!“

“Chicken salad pita tasty. Garden salad sufficient. Line service queue quick. Plus $3.25 water bottle. Diet coke fountain. Portions could have been more for the price, had to satiate hunger elsewhere afterwards. Maybe that’s their grand plan.“

“The classic chicken sandwich is super delicious. Great light crispy breading, the pickles add a nice salty touch and the bun is a little sweet. And, Cheerwine bourbon slush! Need I say more?“

“I have been to this RESTAURANT for the past 10 hrs and have NO COMPLAINTS...& others love it too! And wish it was in HENDERSONVILLE!!!“

“Nice Cracker Barrel with great service“

“lot's of cool stuff to like at and some amazing food ...“

“The cheese plate was a wonderful selection of cheese, fruit, nuts, and toast slices. The barbecue sandwich was dry and no extra sauce was provided. The meatloaf was great! The alcohol prices were reasonable. However, the decor was bland and boring.“
