Early Girl Eatery - Downtown Asheville

You are invited – we’d love for you to come share a meal with us at Early Girl. Since 2001 we’ve been combining the best local ingredients to create delicious Southern-inspired comfort food. Morning, afternoon and night, Early Girl Eatery serves a wide variety of delicious southern dishes that’ll please every palette. “Made from scratch,” with many ingredients acquired from local farmers, our menu reflects the creative diversity of true southern cooking. The menu relies heavily on the high quality local produce grown in the area by family farms and community-supported agriculture (CSAs). Our cheeses and some of our meats are also produced and raised locally. The Early Girl serves dinner Tuesday through Saturday night with a well crafted beer and wine menu and offers breakfast and lunch 7 days a week. Regulars’ favorites include pan-fried free range chicken with herb gravy for dinner, the local sausage and sweet potato scramble for breakfast and the almond and ginger salad almost anytime. The menu changes periodically with the seasons, while the specials change daily. This enables us to better utilize the local ingredients available. We believe local food tastes better and sustains a healthy community. Made from scratch is the motto at the Early Girl, and our recipes reflect our background in southern cooking as well as our vast experience with vegetarian fare.
