'While there have been some modifications since Hurricane Helen, the menu remains extensive and impressive. I would strongly recommend the calabash chicken and sweet potato fries.'

Stopped by for lunch. Great recommendations and service by Leslie! Blackened flounder, fried oysters, house made chips and sweet tater fries. Everything was great!

First time here. Me and my wife very much enjoyed it. We had brunch and are looking forward to trying the dinner menu at some point. I had the breakfast bowl and it was quite hearty and good.

Stopped in last night for a bite. The food was delicious!! We received our food quickly. Our waitress Anna was super sweet and polite. The fish and chips was amazing!

If you find yourself in Asheville, I would highly recommend this place for breakfast. This Greek omelette tastes as good as it looks. Exceptional

We've been eating at Cornerstone for over 20 years. Their quality, customer service, and undeniably large portions haven't wavered. We enjoy their breakfast and lunch/dinner menus but mostly frequent for breakfast. No matter what I order, it's 2 meals for me because they have such large portions. They do everything really well, but their pancakes, omelettes, and chicken tenders are what we are most drawn to. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Plenty of parking. Aesthetically pleasing decor and layout. Easy location to get in/out of. Highly recommended!

They warned that they were short staffed so we were prepared, however, we didn’t have to wait to be seated at 1:00 on Sunday! The Gyro Platter was great, just like Brick Oven in Fay, NC! Fried pickles were perfectly fried and perfect thickness! My husband got the steak tacos and onion rings and said they were great but 90% out of 100 so just under a 5 rating. We will definitely be back when traveling through Asheville!

This is our first time here, and we're sad we haven't tried it sooner the food is absolutely delicious we got the nachos as an appetizer and I got the American burger and my husband got the jalapeño popper burger. It was delicious The service was also fantastic Highly recommend.
