We enjoyed an "authentic" breakfast at the Early Girl. We just had egg and cheese biscuits, but they were yummy and filling. The specials on the board all looked delicious. The atmosphere was probably the main plus, it didn't feel like a tourist trap. There was already a crowd just after opening at 9AM, so my girlfriend and I elected... more

As we waited for an hour to be seated, we watched customers leave with smiles on their faces, thanking the EGE staff, and speaking amongst themselves about how happy they were with their experience. This made our wait somewhat less painful - plus we had purchased some hot beverages from A Far Away Place Coffee Shop around the corner. Finally... more

Highly recommended if you're going to be in Asheville! Busy, but worth the wait for Saturday brunch/lunch. Hearty, healthy, locally-sourced farm-to-table stuff. Eggs benedict with spinach, tomatoes and incredible country ham over grits cakes. Mmmm. more

This cafe is located in... more

We went there to eat dinner on Sunday and the food was so good and service was excellent. It's a "Gourmet Southern" kind of food to me. We'll definitely go back. more

We decided upon Early Girl Eatery for the final brunch of our trip. This restaurant prides itself on the local flair and homegrown ingredients. For me the atmosphere was a little too urban and almost came across unkept. My wife had their version of an Eggs Benedict which was original and was a large portion. I opted for a burger... more
