A double-patty beauty, smothered in cheese. This is definitely one of the best burgers in the city. While we were eating, I heard the waitress at the high top behind us taking an order for a burger “cheese only”, so apparently, they’ve relaxed their stringent “get-it-the-way-we-make-it” attitude. Being a fan of neither pickles nor onions, I accepted that fact and ordered mine with both and took them off when it came to the table. When we first visited, back in late 2010, they would not alter the burger (it is served with pickles, onions, ketchup and mustard). The burger is the crowing glory of this menu. We were FORCED to eat them at the same time. I know they were trying to get the crowds pushed through, but they arrived two minutes after the appetizer. The only complaint I could raise about this meal was the quickness with which the burgers arrived. The site is the former home of H&F Burger, the first introduction as an Asheville restaurateur for James Beard Award. It was so dense that the thin crackers kept breaking trying to dip in it.Īnd then arrived the burgers. James Beard Award-winning chef Linton Hopkins cheeseburger is a thing of beauty in its thoughtful simplicity: Two griddled. Cut the bun in half, spread the insides with butter, then placed butter-side down on the grill to toast. We started with a pimiento cheese appetizer, which was very good. Mix and grind the meat through a grinder twice. He said that they start preparations for the burgers at 10:00 and that they’re crowded until after 1:30 (they serve brunch until 3:00). I talked with the bartender (we ended up sitting at the bar, as the few tables were filled by those ahead of us in line) and asked him some questions about how busy they were. This leads to quite a crowd on Sundays, when the burgers are served on the brunch menu (below).Īs you can see, the menu is fairly limited, but the star gets top billing. It is complicated by the fact that they don’t take reservations.ĭuring the week, they only serve twenty-four burgers a night, starting at 10:00 pm, partly due to the size of the kitchen (above). It even has its own page on their web site. Why in the world would anyone wait outside, in the wind and cold, for brunch? It’s quite simple – the burger. When we got back, we endured the brisk winds for another ten minutes or so, then went inside.
I dropped off Jo at the door and we went to park. See 44 traveler reviews, 40 candid photos, and great deals for Asheville, NC, at Tripadvisor. When we arrived about 11:15 (they open at 11:30), the line was already worming its way down the sidewalk. Holeman and Finch Asheville: This place should be on any foodies bucket list. About a week ago, after church when we had zero chance of getting there before the crowds, it occurred to me just how long it had been since we had been to Holeman & Finch Public House for their fabulous burgers, so we made plans to go today.
