11 Best North Carolina Diners | Eater Carolinas

"In a city renowned for its buzz-worthy restaurants and chic eateries, Five Points is a landmark for those who crave something a bit more nostalgic. Just steps away from downtown Asheville, this 1972 diner continues to serve its regulars seven days a week, through generations of local family ownership. Here, customers are like extended family, and most are known on a first-name basis. From the hefty eight-ounce ribeye steaks and over a dozen varieties of stuffed omelets, it’s clear why Five Points has kept guests coming back for almost half of a century. Don’t stop at its generous breakfast offerings, the Five Points lunch and dinner crowds are equally as busy. This diner’s best-selling dishes are tied between its fried seafood platters and roasted Greek chicken, which sells out every Wednesday night." - Sara Akhavan
