Biscuit Head, Southern breakfast restaurant in West Asheville, US
Biscuit Head is a breakfast restaurant in West Asheville, North Carolina, known for its homemade buttermilk biscuits served with a wide array of house-made toppings. Guests order at a counter and then customize their plates at a self-serve condiment bar stocked with butters, jams, and gravies.
The restaurant opened its first location in Asheville and eventually expanded to a handful of spots around the city. Each new location kept the same counter-service format and focus on scratch-made biscuits that defined the original.
The biscuit is a cornerstone of Southern breakfast culture, and this restaurant treats it as the main event rather than a side dish. The gravies, many of which are made in-house, follow recipes rooted in the cooking traditions of the Appalachian South.
The restaurant opens in the morning and closes in the early afternoon, so arriving early helps avoid a wait. Ordering takes place at the counter, and the condiment bar is accessible after you receive your biscuits.
The condiment bar includes options like catfish gravy and tomato jam alongside more familiar choices, which sets it apart from a typical breakfast counter. Some of these recipes are made fresh each morning and rotate depending on what is available locally.
