HomeGrown - American restaurant in Asheville - 371 Merrimon Ave, USA

We went here for brunch on Saturday. Parking is just outside the restaurant, wasn’t extremely crowded. I had the catfish poboy and my friend had buttermilk chicken sandwich with biscuit gravy on the side. We enjoyed our food. The fish was fresh and portion size was more than enough for one person.

Today was the second time I've eaten here. The first was the blackened Catfish. Twas terrible....used the same pan too many times and tasted burnt. Today I decided to give them another try (after 5 years) with the Catfish and got it fried this time...I mean how do you mess it up fried right?.....well they did, the breading was falling off and was also cooked in old grease or temperature on the fryer was too high (above 350°). The fish itself was tasty though the breading just falls off as you bite into the filet. The sauce was good and really was the best thing. The Ceasar salad had good flavor in the dressing but the kale had not been massaged to break it down and make it soft like you want it to be when it's raw and in a salad. That's like rookie cooking mistakes. And the garlic was whole roasted cloves! Lol who does that? Not cost effective nor is a whole clove of garlic something anyone wants to take a bite out of lol! Not sure who the chef is, but he either doesn't care or doesn't know what is coming out of the kitchen. Bad experience again all around. Will not be back and I suggest you avoid at all costs!

Homegrown is an absolute gem of a restaurant nestled on Merriman Avenue. I stumbled upon this charming spot while searching for soups, and to my delight, I discovered a diverse menu offering everything from sandwiches to soups to full entrees. My choice for the evening was the pasta with chicken, and it exceeded my expectations in every way. The flavors were delightful, and the portion size was surprisingly generous for the price range. Even an hour after indulging, I'm still feeling satisfied. Additionally, the Tempe and Soup were both exceptionally delicious. I wholeheartedly recommend Homegrown and can't wait to return for another memorable dining experience.

Really enjoyed this place. The Catfish was perfect & all the food was prepared well. The only thing is would be that, there wasn't AC, Except for in one small room. We used that area, so it worked out well. The place is cozy however & it's definitely worth it to eat there. I will definitely return when in the Asheville area!

Best chicken sandwich in Asheville! With the best sauce, honey mustard horse-radish I believe? Whatever it is…. get two of ‘em! Very friendly staff as well and the atmosphere is wonderful. What’s not to love?

Great grilled and fried chicken options plus lots more. New favorite is the pimpin chicken which has piminto cheese on top. Lots of delicious sides including mashed potatoes and broccoli options. Little house with side porch. Food was really good and atmosphere was nice. Order at center and dine in one of the rooms. To go options too.

This place was fantastic. Very small space inside but it's worth visiting. You order at the counter then they bring out your food. I had the open face biscuit with fried chicken and gravy. I had the potato casserole as a side. The food was fantastic and the employee that took my order and brought my food out was very nice and cordial. I would definitely return!

They have in house made from scratch biscuits. Local farm eggs and local farm sausage. I’m a big breakfast foods fan and sandwich fan. These were hands down the best I’ve ever tasted. Can’t wait to go back to Asheville to have them again.
