Over Easy Cafe (breakfast)

 

I second the over Easy. That's usually my first suggestion but I thought you were just looking for dinner spots. Over Easy is awesome. Expect a wait. Get a Bloody Mary at Stradas across the street while you wait. They have a nice little bar to dress your own drink.

 

Homegrown for breakfast was amazing.

I would pass on the Lobster Trap. At least 2 dozen places in Asheville I would rather eat.

 

Whenever I go to Asheville I have to go to 12 Bones for lunch. It is so good and so reasonably priced.

I'm also going to second Corner Kitchen. It is extremely quaint and delicious. I've been there for dinner and breakfast, dinner was delicious, but at breakfast their biscuits and gravy are some of the best I've ever had.

 

I thoroughly enjoyed the Lobster Trap. A bit pricey, but not obscene. Great food, service, and the Oysterhouse beers were good. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

Salsas isn't my thing but we went anyway on Sunday AM, it gets packed within 20mins. Eating with my elbows in because there's no room kinda sucked. It wasn't bad, but I prefer a place that's not packed in like sardines.

 

Just end up at French Broad Chocolate for hot chocolate after. That's all that matters. Usually an early (and frequent) stop on my trips there.

Every time I eat there, I have a great experience. Beautiful plates, great prices for what you get, all in a non-stuffy, rustic, eclectic atmosphere.

 

Salsas (Veghead or The Asheville burritos on lunch menu amazing). Does get packed.
Blackbird - used to be in Black Mtn - good dinner spot.

Thanks to all for the other suggestions (and OP for asking). I get there every few months.

IMO, Lobster Trap not worth it. Thought the lobster was pretty tasteless and the service getting us a table was brutal. But if your wife really wants lobster, go for it.

 

Don't mean to thread jack here but my wife just decided we are going to asheville for thanksgiving weekend. What are some of the best breweries to hit up while there? Was searching on the internets and there are a lot of them.

 

Wicked Weed, Green Man. Stay nearby for the best result- walking distance.

 

Curate is excellent.

 

All of them. Everything is close enough, even the ones you make a drive to, to tour them all in a weekend. I did it last year with plenty of down time in between.

 

Shame, our meal was outstanding, and we sat at the bar area so no wait. Easily the best seafood I've ever had.
