Corner Kitchen

December 28, 2025

I went to Corner Kitchen on Christmas Eve to celebrate after going a few times before Hurricane Helene, and it felt great to walk back in and see the place buzzing again. The space is warm and inviting, with a patio outside for nice weather, and even without a reservation, we were seated immediately at the bar for brunch, which made the experience feel relaxed and welcoming. We started with the Merry Old Fashioned cocktails, which were the perfect way to kick off brunch. Greg took great care of us, was fun to chat with, and made the whole meal even better. I have to say that their burgers have always been excellent, but they are even better now with the Wagyu meat. It’s one of the best in Asheville, and I ordered mine medium, which came out perfectly juicy and flavorful. It was a bit surreal to see the small sign near the stairs marking how high the water line had risen during the storm. Seeing what they went through and bounced back from makes me proud to be in a city with such resilient residents and business owners. I’m happy to see Corner Kitchen back and better than ever. We will definitely be back and wholeheartedly recommend it to both locals and visitors alike!

This was our first visit to Corner Kitchen, but the manager and hostess made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived, giving a great table in a small area in front of the kitchen where we could watch plates being prepped. I started with the Chengazi oysters (think Chinese orange chicken but with fried oysters!), which were absolutely wonderful, while my wife had a great mushroom Wellington. For our main course, we had the halibut special, with me choosing the normal preparation with a panko crab crust, and my wife opting for a simpler sear with herbs. Both were excellent and paired with with our bottle of Gavi di Gavi. We ended our meal with creme brûlée of the day, in this case Grand Marnier. Overall service was excellent and the food was wonderful. We'll definitely return on our next visit to Asheville.

Great place. We had the chicken and waffles as well as 2 orders or waygu cheeseburgers. Im not a huge waffle fan,but they were great-doughy and sweet tasting. Please note, picture doesnt do the chicken and gravy justice. Food was delicious, nice and hot. Place was very busy (Tuesday lunch) and you should make reservations. Highly recommended. Bathrooms was clean Server was very sweet and attentive

We are so thrilled to see them them back up and flourishing after Helene! The last time we dined here was for Father's Day 2024 with my husband and our children. On this day, however, we did not have a reservation and it was around 2 pm. Luckily, Olivia, with her bright smile and kindness, was able to seat us about 5 minutes later. We sat outside at Josh's table, right next to the kitchen's back door, I believe. Luckily, the staff wasn't too bad, but we did here an occasional F bomb drop. Iit was near their closing time between 2:30 and 5 and it was fine. We ordered the tater tots with pimento cheese to start. They were the expected greasy, crunchy, and tasty that we expected.. The remoulade that accompanied them was yummy! My husband ordered the reuben with extra crispy fries. He said the sandwich was okay and wished there was more meat to it. The fries were seasoned and cooked to perfection. I ordered the burger with a side of the feta potato salad. The burger was cooked too a perfect medium rare and was a great burger. The potato salad needed a touch more seasoning so I added salt and pepper and then it was real good. Josh was a terrific server as well...he was attentive, knowledgeable, and didn't make us feel rushed even though it was getting too be their closing time.

What a cute, warm little restaurant! This area was hit really hard a year ago by the hurricane and they are all struggling to rebuild. Many places in this village area have not reopened. We stopped in here for breakfast before our Biltmore Estate tour. So happy we did! Our server was great, our food was good and we felt warm and cozy and seen. I hope these businesses are able to bounce back eventually because this was a nice place and a nice area. Go to the Corner Kitchen and give them some business! The coffee was good and the Bloody Mary was great. My biscuits and gravy were just what I wanted on a cold, rainy day! Corner Kitchen. Go. Eat. Enjoy! Oh!! And look for the picture with the little placard on the wall that says This High. That's how high the waters rose during the hurricane in 2024.
