My wife and I enjoyed a great breakfast at reasonable prices while visiting Asheville. I enjoyed the sweet potato and sausage scramble. This was an unbelievable meal! I really enjoyed the flavor combinations within this dish. My wife enjoyed the granola as well. Great place to visit!

We have eaten at the Early Girl Eatery before and it has not changed, thankfully. Young energetic staff, good menu selection, well-cooked and super fresh food (with emphasis on local produce) all made for a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

We literally stumbled upon this restaurant during a recent first-time visit to Asheville as we were exploring the city on foot. The place was very busy during the lunch hour and is obviously popular with the locals. The restaurant has an clean and welcoming décor, our server gave good service and was attentive, and the food was very good, with... More

This was probably our 6th time there, but the first for dinner. Wish we had tried it sooner--what a treat! We were there to celebrate our daughter's graduation from UGA--Go Dawgs--and they certainly rose to the occasion! I had a special of ramp and rabbit stew which was awesome...served over one of their amazing biscuits. Had the chard which was... More

Early Girl appears to be one of the more popular places for breakfast in downtown Asheville. They serve breakfast all day so it's a convenient place to go if you want a late breakfast. My husband and I both had egg dishes; he had the sausage and sweet potato egg scramble and I had a "create-your-own omelet" which allows you... More

We had the chance to dine at Early Girl for their breakfast and the omelets were stuffed to perfection! Lots of healthy choices and great service - Friendly staff and charming interior. A good choice for families and anyone visiting the Asheville area!

We made a reservation for Sunday night dinner but it was not necessary. We ordered the rabbit stew + honeyed beets ($12), plus the trout + green beans + potato salad ($15). It was all wonderful, especially the rabbit stew! It was a quiet little place and the waitress left us alone to chat and enjoy our meal. I like... More

We waited 35 minutes for our table on Saturday morning but it was well worth it. The food was great and different. The three of us shared a table with a family. I love the community feel.
