Love this place! - Edit
I love a good vegan breakfast, and The Smokin' Onion delivered! A standout for me was their seitan chicken! Perfect texture, breading, flavor, and thickness! I've never enjoyed chicken and waffles so much, including the real meat version!

So grateful to have a place in town to get a good vegan brunch! Everything I've tried has been wonderful. The Brussels sprouts and the fried green tomatoes are unreal. And the pancakes! The staff are extremely friendly and the whole place just gives me good vibes. Really enjoy coming here.

Mouthwatering - perfection! - Edit
Every thing we ordered was outstanding! We were amazed at how fast everything was prepared, and the restaurant was full. Incredible gyro, BLT, and fried green tomatoes! We got a breakfast burrito to take back to the hotel to eat in the morning. It’s was just right! Filling and flavorful but not heavy. It was also great to get pastry from back porch bakery. We will definitely be back!

Lovely atmosphere + food - Edit
Such a great place! Everything was very flavorful and delicious, the interior was warm and inviting, and the staff was beyond friendly. The seitan in the gyro had such great seasoning and the pita was so soft and fresh! Would definitely recommend!

Good food - the only vegan brunch place in AVL! - Edit
I'm super glad that we have The Smokin' Onion in Asheville! It's really nice to have a 100% breakfast/brunch place. The atmosphere is 5/5, the workers are 5/5, and the food is pretty good. The only thing is that the prices are a bit high. I've been there twice now and would go back again!

Delicious food, a must try! - Edit
Service: ?/5, Quality: 5/5, Value: 3/5
Read moreVegan Options: 5/5
Overall: Delicious food, a must try!
Further:
Service- we did takeout (unrated)
Quality - very delicious food. Everything we had was good. I really liked the trashy burger. While I'm not usually a fan of the cop out impossible patties, the toppings along with adding house bacon made it quite the treat. The cheesecake was some of the best I've had in recent memory.
Value - price was somewhat high but portion sizes were fair and i left satisfied with how much i ate
Vegan options - everything was vegan. I reserve 5/5 for all vegan restaurants🤘
Pros: good portion sizes (filling!)
Cons: limited seating (especially patio)

Great breakfast spot - Edit
We went here for breakfast and got the biscuits and gravy, which had fried green tomatoes on top and the “chickn” and waffles. Both items were great and it wasn’t very crowded, so we were served fast. You can get breakfast or lunch all day, which leave a lot of options.

100% vegan - Edit
Absolutely loved our visit to the smokin’ onion! We stopped by at lunch time on a road trip home. It was slammed! The kitchen handled it like a boss. Food came out in good time, hot food, picture perfect, and sooooo good. Restaurant was clean. We got to chat with the owner. Staff was friendly and helpful. The only challenge was parking—not their fault. I would 1,000% recommend this place! They had healthy options and soul food options.

Offers breakfast and lunch from open to close . Used to go to the food truck and was one of my favorites and now they have a brick and mortar. It definitely doesn’t disappoint.
