We ate a later breakfast at Early Girl. I had the Black Bean and Cheddar Omelet with grits and a side of bacon (all VERY GOOD), my husband had the Porky Bowl - hold the gravy, add BBQ sauce.

The breakfast - biscuit sandwich, cornbread, multigrain pancake - all good. But the chicken sandwich was boring and the chicken itself not particularly good.

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 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
