I ordered the Mimosa Fried Chicken Biscuit with a double shot of espresso. The biscuits here are HUGE and super filling. I had no idea what that meant until I was served my food. We made it inside pretty quickly and were greeted by so many happy faces!Īt the door entrance there was a chalkboard that read cat head biscuits. The space inside is pretty small so by time you get to the front of the line and pay for your food, someone else is leaving space at an empty table (kind of like the lines at Chipotle). The restaurant is designed to have a line. My oh my… I’m so glad we decided to eat here. I decided that I needed to figure out why people felt the need to commit to eating at this restaurant. I complained a little, sent my husband to get in line, and I parked the car. I don’t like lines, I’m not a huge fan or rain, and because we were traveling in the end of April I was hoping for higher temperatures. It was raining out, it was a little chilly, and there was a VERY long line coming out of the door. After a lot of searching, pondering, and debating, we ended up putting Biscuit Head in our GPS and ended up at their unassuming Biltmore Avenue location.Īfter pulling up to the restaurant we were a little skeptical to give this restaurant a try. I did a little searching online and came across a fun article by Bon Appetit Magazine and decided to give one of their suggestions a try. After getting some suggestions from friends, and searching around yelp, all we could find were spots downtown that had really long wait times. While in Asheville we were on the hunt for a delicious and simple breakfast spot.

I mean, come on. There are currently two locations in Asheville with a third opening soon in Greenville, South Carolina. It’s easy to see why Biscuit Head is a favorite among locals and tourists. So don’t be alarmed when you see the line wrapped around the block, especially on the weekends. I didn’t really get the cheesecake flavor but it was creative. Really just thick cut bacon with the flavor sprinkled on. Probably my favorite dish there because you can put lemon curd on anything and I will be a fan.ĭaily specials include the bacon flavor of the day – in this case it was N.Y. We also splurged on the biscuit donuts tossed in sugar and served with lemon curd. Fried green tomatoes are a true Southern staple and Biscuit Head does them well. Beet loved his Biscuit sandwich with fried green tomatoes and eggs. There are enough varieties to have something different every visit for a month. Super delicious.Īlso impressive is the condiment bar with butters like fruit punch and strawberry, jams like tomato and bananas foster, and a wide variety of honey and hot sauces. The biscuits are cooked fresh and served hot. A flight of three gravies – an Espresso Red Eye gravy, Sweet Potato Coconut gravy, and a house made “veggie” chorizo gravy. Perhaps what impressed me most was the biscuits and Vegetarian gravies. However, the line moved quickly and it gave me a chance to make a decision on the menu. And when we pulled up to the restaurant, we realized that Biscuit Head came highly recommended by many people to many people. Biscuit Head came highly recommended by several friends who have visited Asheville before.
