The sweet potato pancake is my favorite (and what I always get), but this time I tried the beet salad and it was SO good! I had apparently never eaten goat cheese and it's now my favorite.

A foodie nirvana. The food is as good as hyped. Order the Chicken Piccata with shrimp. You will not be disappointed. Great selection of Asheville-area craft brews. Biscuits with jam are terrific.

We loved the fried green tomatoes with cheese grits and warm biscuits with homemade blueberry jam & Tupelo honey. Trout was perfect; veggie burger was good. Great drinks. Delish pecan pie for dessert!

Goat cheese grits and the chopped egg and avocado sandwich. Get the beet salad with the dressing on the side, it was a little heavy. The biscuits and blueberry jelly are wonderful - ask for more.

Vegetables and herbs are provided by the owners' own 10-acre farm. A local bakery supplies the bread, and nearby breweries deliver their best beers, including Pisgah's Organic Pale Ale. Read more

Food and beers all delicious. I had to recommend only one thing - it’s their desserts. The banana cream pie and the pecan pie were outstanding.

Omg! Died and gone to food heaven💃🏼 ribs so good even the fat on them is good. The white sauce on the chicken is perfect. Sides are too good. We'll be back!
Kira RochaMay 15, 2016
Very fun place to be. Some good beer selection. Beet salad was great, Kenny pancakes with chicken, greets with shrimp, and ribs appetizer (2 small ribs). I enjoyed the cider from the drinks.

I had prosciutto-wrapped cod on succotash & puréed squash. Wife: pan-seared trout, corn soufflé & Brussels Sprouts she raved over. Free biscuits & all great. Her margarita ok, but smallish. honey/jam.

Shaksuka! Wow! Baked eggs overgoat cheese grits and creole sauce with avocado! I was thinking soup but "Oh My God" was that a good "southern" Turkish delight!
KateSeptember 11, 2022
The Brussels sprouts are so crispy and the chicken fell off the bone. I thought the fried pickles were a bit too pepper-y for my liking, but still good nonetheless

I’ve been here previously once two years ago. They change their menu pretty frequently. I had the lavender limeade and mountain harvest bowl. Great service!
Jed SingerNovember 13, 2012
Oh my god everything on the menu looks amazing. This place makes me want to eat, throw up, and order another meal. Could probably eat here every meal for a week.
Madeline BiedaJune 24, 2016
Appalachian Johnny cakes, friend chicken, fried green tomatoes, Cajun scallop sofritos, side of biscuits with homemade blueberry compote 👌🏼 all dank as hell
Sarah G.May 25, 2013
Go hungry-- everything on the menu is delicious, + they bring you a biscuit with blueberry jam & honey before your meal. Save room for dessert as they've got the best pecan pie in town, hands down.
Tracy LoweAugust 19, 2019
Good food but overpriced somewhat. The bloody Mary's were delicious. The Shakshuka was amazing. However, we did not like the meatloaf. The sides we had lacked flavor. Biscuits were to die for!
Amanda WebbJune 2, 2013
Brunch was absolutely amazing! We sat at the bar, in front of Chef Dave. He made great recommendations and kept us entertained. He made the experience that much better! Loved THC!
Amol UtrankarFebruary 9, 2017
The french toast with fried chicken, bacon, and candied pecans is a must. Literally the definition of a perfect Southern brunch. 🔥🔥
Fish FishJanuary 13, 2017
Really good food here. Have to recommend the banana pudding! Their house Rye Ale was delicious. Just the right amount of Rye! All well worth the wait for a table.
Dan GriffinSeptember 14, 2015
It's hard to explain how awesome this place is. It's as if you are experiencing the entire breadth of North Carolina cuisine in one menu. You can't go wrong with any item.
jiresellAugust 9, 2017
Delicious! Be prepared to get huge helpings! Try the southern breakfast with sausage, onion, potatoes, eggs and black-eyed peas!
Mairead MNovember 13, 2012
Hard to choose with so many great choices on this menu! Black bean burger and corn on the cob are delicious! Try the raspberry basil lemonade, but make sure to order a glass of water too.
Lynn Marie FrancoJuly 12, 2016
Amazing southern breakfast spot. They really know how to step up chicken and waffles. Get a pint-size mimosa!
Daniel AFebruary 15, 2019
Don’t miss out on the Fried Okra or the Pimento Cheeseburger w/ Fried Pickles. They also serve up a nice iced nitro cold brew. Great place!
Kevin DudleyOctober 7, 2016
Fried Green Tomatoes on goat cheese grits are amazing. The Shoo Mercy Shrimp & Grits are well worth the upgrade! They will blow your mind...
Jen CunninghamJune 1, 2019
They make really good bloody marys and their breakfast is delicious. Try the sweet potato pancakes!
David PittsAugust 13, 2014
100% awesome southern food. Top 5 pork dish I've ever had and the fried green tomatoes were outstanding.
Adam SmithNovember 21, 2014
Pancakes and fried chicken BLT. Also the coffee milk stout beer is great. You can't go wrong here.
Marisol PluharJanuary 7, 2014
Been here 5+ times
Try the sweet potato pancakes with fried chicken for a twist on chicken and waffles! The burger is also delicious!
LilchelpzFebruary 26, 2024
Interesting that it looked so much better than it tasted. I assume it was just an “off” day for the kitchen because we’ve heard such great things.
Michael LeisJune 6, 2021
Everything is great here. Chicken biscuit, drinks. And definitely get the regular fried chicken before trying the coated.
Eva SmithOctober 14, 2014
Good tasty fried chicken over mashed potatoes, same with catfish and grits, fried okra. service good, prices moderate to high noise, diner setting with a modern twist
Zulma Bauzo-SolaJuly 10, 2021
My husband enjoyed the sriracha chicken and waffles, spicy cauliflower bites and I absolutely loved the avocado toasts! Yummy!
Paul McRaeMay 5, 2014
Had a great breakfast here. Bacon, eggs and grits were awesome along with the biscuit adorned with, you guessed it, honey. I would definitely suggest THC.
Mike MartocciaOctober 11, 2015
Had maple butter salmon, fried chicken, spicy Mac and cheese, BBQ egg rolls, and sweet potato pancake. All 10/10
PureWowNovember 21, 2016
Get the Southern Belle, with Brie, gorgonzola and homemade pear-and-onion marmalade on sourdough. Read more
Xaque WilliamsJanuary 6, 2016
Okra! Southern eggroll! Fried green tomatoes! And an excellent beer selection, not to mention the friendly staff were awesome as well
Roaming GnomeNovember 16, 2013
Order the Kenny Special: sweet potato pancake with fried chicken and pecans on top. It was named after a waiter named Kenny. Which makes sense.
Karen PaceDecember 26, 2012
Nom nom nom. Ah-mazing. Grits, Mac n' cheese, grilled cheese, burger cooked to perfection. Sat at the bar. Can't wait to come back for breakfast!
D SchultzMarch 30, 2018
Great food. Live the grits. Bloody Mary is awesome. Try the pickled okra. Wait staff extremely nice. Overall a keeper .
Todd WhiteFebruary 16, 2015
Best breakfast place in town. The fried green tomatoes and chicken and waffles are always awesome but everything is amazing
Carol TOctober 17, 2011
The fried chicken strombolica was beyond awesome. It came with mashed cheesy cauliflower. (which was so good I ordered an extra side of it!). Eat at the bar- less wait & watch them cook.
JD HerreraAugust 9, 2013
Sit at the chefs table if possible you get a great show. Everything is wonderful. Excelent staff, great service. Instant favorite.
Austin ArnoldOctober 14, 2013
Everything is delicious here! I highly recommend the meatloaf!! And get the smashed sweet potatoes! I can't wait until there's one in Charlotte!
Nash PleasantSeptember 1, 2019
Great spot in downtown Asheville. Locally sourced and sustainable food for brunch or dinner. Solid cocktails
Sharon OverbyFebruary 19, 2017
Great Fried Green Tomato BLT with Pimento Cheese with a side of Brussel Sprouts....yum!
A RobinsonSeptember 21, 2015
Southern cooking with a twist. I loved this hidden gem. Get there early because there will be a crowd.
Hannah BinghamJune 23, 2017
This place is so SO good. We went there twice on one trip to Asheville so we could eat off both the lunch and dinner menus.
Melissa Longwill-AckermanNovember 5, 2015
Had the curry chicken tacos, spicy but very delicious! The blueberry preserves are amazing. Very nice establishment.
Bethany DecossasMay 24, 2013
The Appalachian Egg Rolls were a DELICIOUS appetizer! All the food is super fresh and local and it really makes a difference. So yummy!
