Stopped in for breakfast on a Friday morning around 9am. Was able to be seated immediately. Our server Garrett was great. The food itself was just ok. Their Biscuit French sounded great but not that flavorful to me. Also had the two egg breakfast which comes with eggs, fried potatoes, and one biscuit. Bacon or sausage are add-on sides. Have gluten free options which is nice. The atmosphere was fairly plain but clean and comfortable. We were in the front room. The backroom looks more interesting with tables along the windows. The location is good near the Flatiron building on Wall Street. Convenient to walk to if staying downtown. I would try again but different menu items.

I did it again. Enjoyed my full meal and forgot to take pics. The fried chicken is no joke. I'm not gluten free, but my wife is. I would not have known it was a gluten free batter if it wasn't posted. Delicious, crispy, full of flavor, and the chicken was cooked to perfection. Everyone here is kind and attentive. Had the hot chicken sandwich, and wife had the tenders. Amazing. Will definitely be back. They have a lot on the menu I want to try

Our waitress was Kate and she was fantastic! She recommended the fried chicken which we got in two different dishes and it was delicious (and gluten free). The Biscuit French was absolutely amazing - sweet, soft, and topped with homemade whipped cream. Best meal we had in Asheville (actually by a long shot).
