Louise's Kitchen

Stuart Frandsen

We’ve tried to eat here several times in the last two years and been scared of the large crowd. We came in as a party of 10 at 12:50. They were fast and got our orders correct. The wrap around porch was nice! Everything on the menu is great. Breakfast burrito 10/10, Reuben 10/10, pimento cheese grilled sandwich and tomato soup 10/10, pancakes 10/10, trust me it all good!

Set in an old home (we ate on the porch so I never actually went inside), the food didn't really live up to the expectation after standing in line for an hour to place our order at a host stand before we were seated. The food was all lukewarm when it came to the table. The French toast had not been fully saturated with the egg mixture and the center of the bread was dry and not very warm. The huevos rancheros breakfast special had reasonably good flavor, but the beans were cold in between the tostadas. The service was good, though and the porch was lovely.

A wonderful country kitchen with a very open and welcoming vibe. Locals know, so be ready for a bit of a wait, but oh so worth the wait. Pancakes are fluffy and tasty with a delicious houde-made Vanilla Bean syrup, and the Challah French Toast is nourishing and satisfying. Coffee is bottomless goodness, as well. Dining out on the porch adds an extra level of charm.

Y'all! 🤩 what a gem! 💎 Back Story: We were traveling through NC & wanted to stop for a nice brunch someplace along the route. We anticipated having to take a detour into Asheville, but instead found Louise's, not only on I-40, but less than a half mile off the interstate. I wouldn't be surprised if this place had a line around the building 99% of the time, but our service was superb! First impressions : Circle the block till you spot someone leaving & steal their parking spot. You order from the hostess stand on the porch, choose your seating & they'll miraculously find ya. The ambiance : we agreed to sit outside since it's a beautiful spring easter morning. They offered inside, porch or yard seating. I was a tad chilly in the shade, so when I spotted a table under the pergola, & jumped on it. I wish I had peaked inside. Drinks : We each had a megamosa. Highly recommended. Hubby went traditional with the OJ but I got the mango& pineapple. These came out within a few minutes of us sitting down. Perfect size in a pint mason jar for this occasion. Food : the big boy burrito looked mighty good but I was feeling some down home biscuits & gravy. Hubs got the burrito & I wish I had. It was a loaded, hardy breakfast burrito with the best sausage we've ever had. It was advertised as Chop Shop sausage outta Asheville. The biscuits & gravy left a little top be desired. The biscuits themselves were incredible, the gravy had a tad too much oregano, maybe, for my taste. It was still a delicious dish, but I wouldn't get it again without a side of sausage to help balance out the seasonings. It was a large helping with 2 biscuits & an ample amount of gravy. Worth every star 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
