We had a good brunch experience. The restaurant is beautiful and I loved the industrial look. We enjoyed reading about the history of the restaurant as well and were glad to support this local spot. I ordered the chicken and waffles and my husband had the steak and eggs. We also ordered a side of pancakes. The chicken and waffles were a great balance of sweet and savory. The chicken was delicious. The waffles were also good, though I tend to prefer a little more of a light, slightly crips waffle. These were a bit softer. My husband said the steak and eggs were okay. Not much to say about it. We also got a small side plate of pancakes which actually felt like a TON for the price we paid for them. I can't imaging what the regular sized plate looked like. The mascarpone and sweet topping on them gave them a bit more character than basic pancakes. I would visit this place again and maybe try the shrimp and grits next time.

Amazing brunch on our trip to Asheville. Highly recommend! We came early and they seated us anyway. The service was lovely and the food was delicious. Steak and eggs and chicken and waffles recommended for sure… and get a side of their delicious grits. Bloody Marys and mimosas were yummy. We will be back!!

Four of us went to brunch at Benne on Eagle. We had a reservation and we were seated right away. Our server was Bo, and he did a great job. Two of us had the mushroom toast with softly scrambled eggs, one had the avocado toast with eggs over easy and one had the chicken and waffles. Everybody was very pleased with the food. The coffee was good. If I had to make any negative comments, it would be that I thought there was too much salt in the food, but we never use any salt when cooking at home, so the salt content in the food was probably quite normal for most people. We all very much enjoyed the brunch and will definitely return.
