Food Scene
Probably the most famous breakfast spot in Asheville, for good reason. Insider tips: send one person ahead to get your name on the list. When their phone app tells you your table is almost ready, start walking over. It’s easier to get a table for dinner -- and their breakfast menu is available all day!

There are two Nine Mile locations: the original in Montford and this new location on Haywood Road. The Haywood Road location has shorter waits, more space, and the same menu. It’s a family favorite.

Brand new spot on Haywood with fancy pizza and beer. We've grabbed takeout here once, and it seems promising. The space looks fun and popular.

Not just great beer! New Belgium has a grassy field perfect for frisbee and soccer, a paved greenway path near the river, non-alcoholic seltzers made daily, and there is always a food truck. Drive here or catch a Lyft; it’s a steep descent down to the river. Plentiful parking; if first lot is full, try the staff lot (after 5 pm and all weekend) or street spots. Weekend afternoons get a bit crazy, but there is space for everyone (and they pour outside when the lines inside get super long).
