And the location, close to Mission Hospitals, the Kenilworth neighborhood and East Asheville, means the Roys can serve a larger swath of Asheville’s population. Jason, who said the duo found the Tomato Jam building through Craigslist, said its small size made it manageable for expansion. “Between us and the managers and the people who help us run Biscuit Head, we know we’ll be able to keep the quality the same.” “It’s a little crazy, but we have really good people who work with us, so we feel good about it,” Carolyn said. “I don’t know how we’re doing it,” Carolyn joked from the kitchen of their original restaurant at 733 Haywood Road. Biscuit Head, the Haywood Road brunch spot known for giant biscuits and lines out the door, will open a location on Biltmore Avenue in the former Tomato Jam Cafe later this year. If you’re not into that, it’ll taste just as good in the car.Roughly a year after opening their first location in West Asheville, Biscuit Head owners Carolyn and Jason Roy are set to open a second. With that said, it’s definitely more of a takeout spot than a place to dine out - you have to stalk people for a table. It’s a super low-key spot, which always makes the perfect breakfast, in my opinion. The value is good, and the food is excellent. I highly recommend picking up a bottle - or five.Īll in, I give Biscuit Head an 8/10. I also went back and ordered a bottle of the Sweet Heat Hot Sauce after trying it on the biscuit - it’s a wonderful blend of sticky, sweet, and hot (like sweet chili sauce). I picked up a copy of the cookbook because the food really was great. I added the Sweet Heat Hot Sauce, which made it perfection (and it ended up being my favorite!).īiscuit head also sells merch, a cookbook, homemade jams, and hot sauces - if you want to bring something home.

Mimosa Fried Chicken Biscuit: Biscuit with mimosa fried chicken, sweet potato butter, sriracha slaw, and a poached egg.
There was a bit too much pimento cheese, which overwhelmed the other flavors. I was expecting this to be my favorite, but it was actually my least favorite. It was mild and not too sweet, not too tart.įilthy Animal: Fried chicken biscuit sandwich with pimento cheese, bacon, scrambled eggs, and house gravy. The donuts were crunchy on the outside yet soft and pillowy on the inside. The hollandaise added a nice tartness.īiscuit Donuts: Tossed in cinnamon sugar and served with lemon curd. The tomato was firm with a crunchy, fried coating. The egg was cooked perfectly - firm whites with a runny yolk. The sweet jam was totally YUM.įried Green Tomato Biscuit: An open-faced biscuit with fried green tomato, brie, tomato, two poached eggs, and smoked tomato hollandaise. Thankfully, most people were there for takeout orders, given the dining room was closed (COVID), and there was limited seating outside.īiscuit French Toast: Blueberry syrup, whipped cream, and powdered sugar. I can only imagine how it would’ve been with only one location. I’m VERY thankful they have multiple locations because this place was packed! There was a huge line. A few locations have super small interiors and a menu that, as the name suggests, focuses on biscuits. When I was researching where to eat in Asheville, I kept stumbling across this place called Biscuit Head.
