Five Points Restaurant

Nestled in the heart of Asheville at 258 Broadway St, Five Points Restaurant invites you to experience an authentic American diner vibe with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that perfectly complements its hearty, flavorful cuisine. Known for blending classic comfort food with attentive service, this charming breakfast and lunch spot is a beloved local gem that effortlessly satisfies cravings from the early morning rush to casual midday meals.

Step inside Five Points and you’ll immediately feel the nostalgic charm of retro booths and a bustling counter where you can watch the cooks “slam and jam” orders with precision. The atmosphere hums with friendly energy—a place where familiar faces and genuine smiles make every visit more than just a meal, but a comforting ritual.

The menu is a tribute to American diner staples, and each dish highlights the care and quality that Five Points pours into its kitchen. Breakfast is a particular standout here. Imagine savoring perfectly fluffy biscuits smothered in rich, savory gravy or indulging in the Farmer's 3 Egg Omelets, bursting with fresh ingredients. Their sausage patties bring a satisfyingly seasoned warmth, while breakfast potatoes tossed with green peppers and onions add that ideal, hearty crunch. The French Toast Platter offers a lightly caramelized sweetness that is both nostalgic and deeply satisfying.

If you prefer a coastal twist at breakfast, their Crab Cake Eggs Benedict is a must-try. As Laura Poland raves, the fluffy béarnaise sauce with just the right dash of paprika and finely diced green onions elevates the succulent crab cake to something truly memorable—comforting yet refined. Pair that with a cup of rich hot chocolate for a creamy, indulgent start to your day.

Lunchtime options continue the tradition of diner favorites with an impressive lineup. The Pattie Melt Hamburger paired with crispy French fries offers that classic, juicy bite, while the Club Sandwich loaded with fresh ingredients provides a satisfying, layered texture. For something a bit lighter, the Greek Salad for One balances fresh greens, tangy feta, and olives—the perfect palate cleanser amid heartier fare. Don’t miss their homemade baklava for a sweet, flaky finish to your meal.

Customer experiences consistently highlight not just the tempting food but also the attentive, friendly service that rounds out each visit. As Ron Rosenzweig notes, the efficiency of staff during a bustling lunch rush adds to the charm, making dining here seamless and enjoyable. Meanwhile, Barry Kaye’s appreciation for the perfectly cooked “two of everything” breakfast special underlines the consistent quality that keeps locals and travelers alike coming back.

Five Points Restaurant truly shines through its ability to combine nostalgic diner flair with spirited, wholesome food. Whether it’s the comforting aroma of gravy on fried chicken livers (a surprising and delightful revelation as Kendall W Cochran III shares) or the interactive joy of sitting at the counter to watch the kitchen’s rhythm, this is a place that leaves a lasting impression on both appetite and heart.

For anyone seeking an authentic American breakfast or classic diner experience in Asheville, Five Points offers not just a meal, but a deliciously warm embrace of tradition and quality.
