If you live in Fairview, you are lucky to have this local joint! Â We need to support them, so go often. Â I've been with my family twice since moving to the area. Â Highlights were the Big Bear for breakfast, which is a crispy cajun chicken, applewood smoked bacon, their own sausage gravy & cheddar cheese on a scratch made biscuit. Â Is your mouth watering? Â Try any special, they are all good. Â They use local ingredients, have Green Man on tap, and a nice outdoor seating. Â You can bring your dog!
I will be back again, and again....and again!
Simply put, one of the best kept secrets around Asheville. Don't let the location fool you (it's adjacent/in a gas station), the food is absolutely top notch. Locally sourced ingredients Â
Food suggestion - make it in for the weekend brunch, the corned beef hash with grits is amazing...and save room for dessert, excellent cakes (they change quite a bit, but we have not been disappointed with a single one).
Great little 'find' off the beaten path in Fairview, NC! Â Lucky for those who live nearby.
It's got kind of a metro-urbane vibe for a place attached to a gas station.  Only a brief wait on a Sunday at Noon, but totally worth it. My first time here & I chose lunch instead of breakfast, although a crab-cake & grits special sounded great, with a jalapeno, cilantro & cucumber cream sauce drizzled on top...yum!  Instead I had the Local Burger with caramelized bacon, blue cheese & garlic aoli. Everything was of good quality: nice sized local-meat patty, nicely toasted bun, tasty aioli served with house-made sweet pickle chips  and house-made potato chips.  The house-made potato chips were great, and I'm not usually a fan.  Also important: strong, clear brewed iced tea.  Hooray!  My friend got a version of eggs Benedict & declared it fabulous.  Her dish came with home fries and although they don't look special they were crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside with a nice garlicky punch.  They serve locally roasted coffee, which was also a hit. Lastly, the carrot cake was to die for!  Very moist, no coconut in it but lots of carrots & pecans and a delish cream cheese icing.  I'm a foodie & I couldn't quite place how it was made so moist and with apparently so little flour.  $5 a slice but worth every penny, just like  waitress said!  I will definitely be back to check out the breakfast & to try some of the specials.  I like the early hours too, open at 7AM even on Sundays.
Very unassuming local place in fairview... But without a doubt, one of the best meals we had all week while visiting the area. We had the shrimp and grits and Cajun fried chicken, both very creative, flavorful dishes packed with local ingredients. And bonus, they have local brews on tap. The employees were nothing but helpful and charming... A must stop for anyone in the surrounding area!
Review Source:5 stars without question. Â This place is 20 miles from my house in Candler, but I will be back time and time again. Â Even though it's tucked away in a gas station, Local Joint could easily thrive downtown alongside some of the legends of Asheville. Â The burger I had was easily among the best 3 I've ever tasted, and my wife said that she has never had sirloin prepared so perfectly in her entire life, no exaggeration.
The prices are spectacular for the quality that you get, and the pride in local sources makes it fit right into the AVL scene.
So I have eaten here from Huddle house  to the second Huddle House to the Sugar Beet! Today was my chance to try The Local Joint, and am I glad I did! Casual great food. Excellent choices with a upscale flair! good to know also Breakfast served until 3 pm!!! that will make help on those weekends when you do not want to rise up early to sit in the crowds for B Fast! I will be here for breakfast real soon.Had excellent service and food today!
Review Source:This is an interesting adventure for Fairview. Â The service is very good and the food is excellent. Â Their outdoor tables give a breath of fresh air to spring in the country. Â We go there after church on Sunday AMs. Â They did not offer the omlet I wanted but were more than willing to make it.
Review Source:I'm saying A-OK because, as a group, we had a bad experience. Â The food wasn't bad, but getting the food was an issue. Â We had an hour scheduled for lunch & didn't get out for two hours. Â
It was interesting watching a cook walk by the table a couple of times and eyeball us because he KNEW something was wrong. Â It was exceptionally bad because we had already asked the waitress about getting our food and she said it was on the way. Â So, even later she came back & said she didn't know what happened but the kitchen didn't get our order.
It was nice that the owner/manager came by after that & took 1/2 off the bill.
Even though this first experience was not the best, the food was good and I would go back again and give it a second go.
Fairview is so lacking in restaurant choices, so I was very sad to see Sugar Beets go. But then, The Local Joint opened up and they have filled that void. Lots of yummy choices for breakfast, lunch AND now dinner (yay!). My favorite menu items are the Reuben and the spinach salad with the warm onion vinegarette. Good hummus trio & housemade chips as well. Service is fast and friendly.
