We happened to come across this restaurant in Asheville looking for a place to have breakfast.We certainly were not disappointed in our choice. The portions were generous, the food was delicious and the service was excellent. It was really busy but we were open-minded about this because we were drop-ins and they were most accommodating. I highly recommend this restaurant... More

The hype led us to believe this was an outstanding restaurant in the middle of Asheville. Maybe it was us, but the food was only decent and the acoustics awful. Meh...

Our family recently enjoyed a weekday lunch at Tupelo Honey. It was packed, but we only had to wait about 15 minutes. The service was warm and accommodating. Everyone found their lunches delicious, particularly my husband and his fried chicken blt. The biscuits, giant and delivered hot to your table while you waited for your food, made finishing the generous... More

This restaurant was listed as the 15th best in Asheville and we believe it has lived up to its rating. Not a fancy place but the staff is efficient and friendly, the food is well prepared, portions are large (so come hungry), and the prices are reasonable. Lots of interesting dishes. I had the Zippy do da pork which was... More

Lunch was delicious....started with pimento cheese dip and chips, their to die for biscuits and jam. Veggie plate and goat cheese grits topped it all of. Server very knowledgable about local beers and breweries. Would recommend to anyone stopping in Asheville .

After reading a review on Urban Spoon, we weren't sure about this place, but decided to give it shot. We were very pleased with the quality of food and service. The cafe is decorated well and the seating arrangements were ample. We had the BBQ eggrolls (comes with bbq dipping sauce and a jalepeno type dipping sauce), I asked for... More

They had a great menu with a Southern slant. The food was delicious! They also had a great bar selection of wines and unique cocktails. It had a fun vibe - I had the impression that there were a lot of locals in the establishment. Great staff!

My daughter said the mac 'n cheese was the best she's ever had. I had a burger, and I don't know if it was the best I've ever had, but it was certainly close. This casual restaurant is VERY busy. We went in mid-afternoon, so the wait was only 10 mins, but I think the waits are much longer at... More

Great local spot in the middle of downtown. A full menu is available. Had breakfast there and was pleased with the service and food. The coffee is very good. Great breakfast joint in downtown.

Everything was delicious. Great service and atmosphere. Maybe the best biscuits I've ever had. My only critique would be that some things were richer than they needed to be to taste great.
