Sand Hill Kitchen

Really good little grill inside a gas station. Limited inside seating, but enough for about 18-20 people. We got there a little early and had no trouble getting seats. Busy and full up by the time we left. Really nice guy taking orders. I got the chicken sandwich, my daughter got the daily special burger. She got homemade chips, I got the potato salad. Both of us had iced tea. Burger and chicken sandwich were both pretty good. Sides were good. Best ever lunch? Nope. But I'll come back when I'm in the area. Everything seems homemade. Place was clean and well lit.

We joined a friend for lunch at Sand Hill Kitchen and we were pleasantly surprised by the meal. It is located in the BP Station and has a great takeout business. Our food was delicious and we enjoyed our meal and conversation. I’d recommend it even if it’s off the beaten path. We had the chicken tenders and a couple of grilled cheese sandwiches.

My fried saw a lot of people getting food from here when we stopped at the gas station. I normally would by pass a location in a gas station BUT so many people were getting food here and we checked the reviews. High reviews on both Google and yelp!!! So we gave it a shot and oh my!!! It was incredible! This IS a hidden gem and I HIGHLY recommend it! She had the chicken sandwich and I had the Ruben. We had to wait about 15 minutes on the food but worth every minute and was extremely fresh. The staff was friendly and helpful. This is how it is done!

Oh my goodness 😍 we had the best lunch of our trip at Sandhills! Literally every bite was delicious! The chicken sandwiches were amazing! We also LOVED the potato salad, pickles and housemade chips!

You go here to eat and maybe get some gas. The crispy chicken sandwich was great. The chicken was so tender and flavorful. Bun was fresh. A very filling meal. Potato salad was potato salad. Go before peak meal hours. Unfortunately, they only have water, tea, or lemonade. If you want something else you have to buy it from the gas station side. There is seating, but it fills fast. The parking is going every which way around the building and limited. "Honey, I am going to get some gas!" Wink wink.

Good stuff. Great service. Busy yet quick. Want to try more things on menu. Will be back. Had Winners Burger and Reuben. Both are great, lots of flavor. The side of pickles were terrific. It's definitely worth stopping in for a bite to eat. I'm excited to go back for the breakfast menu. I want to try the burrito and a bowl.

Don’t let the gas station fool you, this little diner has delicious, handmade food! Burgers were so so so good but the chicken sandwich— phenomenal.

I'm certain this is a great place for people to grab a quick lunch but "award winning" is stretching it. The food was okay. Chicken sandwich kind of dry, smashburger a bit overcooked. Fries were great. As their response has indicated, they actually were chips, not fries. That's on me. And I don't remember what the burger was called, but it appeared to be smashed. It was a cheeseburger. 🤷‍♀️

So good! I've been following this restaurant for quite some time now and I finally got to visit and it was worth the wait. I got a Reuben which was perfectly cooked, the meat was great quality. The home chips were good as well and seasoned nicely. I can't wait to go back. The only drawback is that it's in a gas station and it is a bit off the beaten path. But dang it if it isn't so delicious!

This is one of our favorite places to eat in the Asheville area. Don't be put off by its hole in the wall appearance. The food is what really matters. My favorite is their fried chicken sandwich (Pictured) w/chips & ranch and a sweet tea. My wife loves their cheeseburger and chicken salad sandwich. I've had both as well and can tell you both of those are really good. The staff is friendly as well. I can't leave that out of my review! We'll obviously be back soon. And then again after that!

The "restaurant" is a very unique spot inside of a gas station. Serving up anything from breakfast burritos to chicken sammies. I had the breakfast burrito because I had read other reviews of it being amazing and it definitely didn't let me down. This was a monster, appropriately priced and very flavorful. Pictures don't do it justice but I did my best.

Best cheeseburger and chicken sandwich period. Only potential gripe would be their limited hours, but then my wallet would have a problem.

So after reviewing all the reviews my husband and I stopped to try this place. Normally we would not eat at a place that is located in a gas station, but we said let's try it because how bad can it be. Well we both said it is not worth stopping. It is just an average buffalo chicken sandwich. You can get a better one at chic filet, zaxby, Publix, and so on. The fresh chips they are calling fresh were just average. They were not hot fresh out of the fryer, they are pre fried. The wait is is just a tad too long but I will wait for good food. So if you're driving by, my suggestion is keep going. You can find better food elsewhere.

Don't let its unassuming gas station exterior fool you. It's a good sign when you order an Arnold Palmer, and the lemonade comes out of a homemade glass jar. I grabbed the last available table in the intimate dining area, and asked the attendant behind the counter what she recommended. She said definitely the fried chicken sandwich. My husband returned to the table with a buffalo chicken fried sandwich, which was exceptional mistake! He got the Love Burger, which he instantly fell for. Their potato and pasta salad sides were also delicious. I use Yelp often to guide me to local hidden gems and this was definitely one of them.

Woww talk about hidden gem!! This place is located in a gas station and is one of the better burgers in town! They have a drive thru too! They do breakfast and lunch which is great! They also have a little are to sit and eat inside if you like. The staff here were warm and friendly, super nice!

Love love love Sand Hill Kitchen. Surprising good food in a gas station...check! Hot chicken sandwiches...check. Random homemade dessert by the checkout...check. Useful but sorta confusing drive up window...check. Lots of thing to love but I really want to write about just how good the spicy chicken sandwich is and to coo about the sides. This is flat out the best hot chicken sandwich in the area. What sets it apart is the clean preparation and quality local ingredients. As compared to some of the other popular local hot chicken sandwiches the masterpiece at Sand Hill is not caked in a thick batter. You taste juicy chicken and a surprising quality chicken at that. This is not low brow ironic hipster food. This is classy gas station we feed the locals what we would want to eat ourselves food. I almost always get the potato salad side which is also clean and just perfectly executed. The sandwich comes we these delicious pickles too I wish this place was open past 3pm and on weekends so I could get there more. Man. So good.

Great red beet pastrami! Definitely hit the spot. Great customer service and quality.

This place is 100% worth a drive even with these gas prices. It's one of Ashevilles many surprisingly delicious gas station/restaurants. So the ambiance is very gas station. You can go in to order or drive thru. Even though it's not a dine in establishment It's easily one of my favorite breakfast spots in town. The grit cakes are omg mind blowing fluffy fried carbs. The biscuits are soft humongous melt in your mouth perfection. The service is quick and southernly kind.

Great quality breakfast, only complaint is there is no sides for breakfast as an option to go with the main dish, otherwise this would be five stars. The food was hot and fresh and the staff are friendly. I don't care if it's in a gas station, it's good food and well worth a stop. I will be coming back for lunch since I have a good idea that their fried chicken sandwich will be amazing!

Listen closely friends. In the south, some of the best food you will find is in a gas station. I kid you not. This place is an example of that. The location of the restaurant is on the side of a gas station and is a quick stop to grab a real good fried chicken sandwich. This sandwich should come with a gym membership because it's that good. They have other options but the chicken sandwich is notable. The service is not too long but there are typically only a few people on staff at a time and the food will come out fresh after ordering. The ambiance is very simple and the place is meant for takeaway more than it is for sitting down and eating at the store.

Best gas station food I've ever had! The crunch of the chicken was a perfect intermingling with the buffalo sauce, bonus points if you get the pimento cheese :)

Many locals say the Sand Hill Kitchen is a hidden gem for good breakfasts and sandwiches. It's in the BP station at the corner of Sand Hill and Sardis in Enka-Candler. They especially recommend the breakfast biscuit and gravy, breakfast biscuit sandwiches, fried chicken sandwich, cheeseburger and Reuben. Most sandwiches are $10 to $12.

So long as you know you're walking into a gas station to order, be prepared to be pleasantly surprised by the quality of your breakfast sandwich! My husband had the scrambled egg and bacon on toast and I had mine on a biscuit. Both were amply proportioned and delicious. Perhaps the best value for a meal during our time in Asheville.

Sand Hill Kitchen certainly lives-up to its reputation. I enjoyed both a breakfast and lunch over conductive days during a recent trip to Asheville. There is a reason their Fried Chicken sandwich earns awards. It was sublime. I need to come back and try the Love Burger. Value priced, but not lacking for quality. Highly recommended.

Second lunch here, we tried something new too! Yay!!! It's not often that we stray from something if we love it. So the fact that we both went with something new, pretty darn proud of ourselves. This time I got the special - roast beef and Turkey with a horseradish Mayo, greens and pickled onions. I would have liked my onions to be more pickled but it probably would have been overwhelming. The roast beef wasn't what I'm used too, a little less rare and much thicker pieces but it fit in perfectly with the Turkey. The thing was massive. First thoughts were, how am I gonna get this in my mouth? Before I could answer my own question my sweet one was already finished. He got the "award winning" fried chicken sandwich and ate it so fast I'm not even sure if he tasted anything. So it must have been good. Twas also a pretty darn big Sammie. We both got chips. That seasoning is a real game changer. A little salty, a little sweet, a whole lotta yum. I still think the pickles are "disgustingly, delicious"... they are just a different kind of weird that I can't wrap my taste buds around but I really do enjoy them. Service was quick and friendly per usual. I really enjoy the drive up window, makes my Togo order fast and breezy. Next time I'm going for the roasted beet Sammie. Unless they have a daily special that calls out.

Basic, good food. No fluff, just the core. A go to place for everyone who likes good food.

Probably one of the best chicken sandwiches I have ever had. Blake ordered a burger and we split them so we could experience them both. AMAZING! I opted for the zucchini salad and it was great. I love places like this, where the food speaks for itself. Will we go back? Absolutely! Friendly staff and again, the chicken sandwich was a 10!

Great fresh fast cooked food. The chicken sandwich was amazing Fried Chicken Sandwich

Once again Yelp friends did not disappoint! Had a potato, egg and cheese breakfast burrito. It was hot and delicious. Just needed a bit of salt but that was a quick fix. A nice break from the hotel free breakfast for a small price. I got there during what turned out to be a brief lull and soon all the little Formica cafe tables were full with waiting diners. Recommend this place

Back again. Meatloaf sandwich special today! Omg pls don't Tell anyone because I am asking them all to come home with me to feed me till the end of my days. So satisfying.

What a great find - found on Reddit via locals and well worth the drive. Don't be alarmed by Sand Hill being located inside a gas station, the food is delicious. Grabbed breakfast here on a recent visit to Asheville and both happy with our choices. It was one of those menus where we wanted to try everything. Portions were very hearty and service was fairly quick. There were drive-thru/pick up options as well, but we snagged one of a couple tables right by counter.

Popped in here before a hike. Was full of working locals; construction, painters, UPS drivers. A great sign that proved to be accurately read. We had the roasted beet sandwich: Fantastic veggie option. Grilled cheese for the kiddo, and fried chicken sandwich. All were outstanding. This is just a counter with a few tables in a gas station, but one of the best things I've eaten in a while.

I really enjoy coming to this spot! My burgers have consistently been good and the service is always so friendly! I have had the love cheeseburger each time I've gone (about 3 times now ) and it's always so delicious!

I was skeptical when I first heard of this place especially as a gas station restaurant but I have been proven wrong. I've never ordered the same thing twice and have never been disappointed! The breakfast burrito is so delicious and reminds me of the ones I used to get in Phoenix from one of the many "-berto" restaurants but better! The chicken sandwich is crispy and juicy. The Love Burger - my lunch today- was one of the best in the city. And I'm a HUGE fan of their homemade chips and pickles!

A great chicken sandwich, but I prefer to be able to eat without hearing f-bombs coming from the kitchen, which is literally 10 feet away. I listened to some woman talking about she was "f-ing pissed" about something, and some "F-ing huge apartment". I'm certainly no prude, but I'm also one who was raised that that particular word is NOT part of everyday conversation.

Don't let the location fool you, as it's located in the gas station. The food and service is perfect. Very delicious! This might be one of my new favorite breakfast & lunch spots. A true hidden gem. We had a pork belly BLT and fried chicken sandwich. With Homemade pickles and homemade chips. I ate food too fast so sorry, no photos. lol

update tiiime! words aren't needed. just look at the best chicken sandwich in town!

My husband was spontaneous in dropping in for lunch here, and I was deliciously surprised. My only real complaint is that we arrived at 10:55 and they didn't start lunch until 11:00. So we had to wait 15 minutes for our food. I had their award-winning cheeseburger and he had their chicken sandwich. My burger was super greasy and messy, but also super delicious! Their homemade pickles were in between the cucumber and pickle stage, but had a deliciously rare flavor. I was not a fan of their macaroni salad, but my husband loved it. He says the chicken sandwich was simple, yet had the perfect combination of condiments to make it admirable. It was crispy and yummy. I would recommend this place!

We've been going to Sand Hill since they opened! Food is consistently good. One of the best fried chicken sandwiches in town! I particularly love their lemon bars that they make on occasion.

Chicken sandwich is insane.... Pork belly BLT was also insane... Blackberry cobbler? Yep you guess it, insane.. Can't stop eating at this place.

OK now don't be shocked but this little restaurant is in a gas station. But please don't let that stop you the sandwiches are scrumptious that means really good LOL!!! My husband and I love to run everywhere and try all kinds of unique little places. This is one of them they were very friendly when ordering and they had delicious gluten-free bread which I try to eat as often as possible. I had an absolutely delicious turkey sandwich (Turkey was piled high) with their homemade potato chips yummy!!! My husband had one of the best Rubens I've ever eaten. The sauerkraut and creamy sauce that they had made for the sandwich were a definite 10!!! They usually have potato salad, pasta salad and their homemade chips but they often run out of the potato salad. The chips are crispy and season with something that made them absolutely delicious. Give this restaurant to try you won't be disappointed they also had a very large breakfast menu I'm going to post both of those so you can see what they have.

Love me a convenience store diner! San Hill Kitchen is delicious. We had the rueben, fried chicken sandwich, and a cheeseburger. Everything was cool perfectly and super flavorful.

Great food and great people. Perfect when I'm in the mood for a treat. Fried chicken biscuit never disappoints

Great food!!!! In a gas station !!! The burgers are wonderful... philly steak flavor is second to none. The house made chips are a must. Mac and Cheese is packed with cheese... should be called Cheese&Mac!!!! Banana Pudding tastes awesome.. I like a few more cookies. Great place to hang with friends and grab a bite. This place is a gem. Try it!

This place is IT! The staff are the best. The burger, Fried green tomato BLT, breakfast burritos are huge and yummy.

What a gem. I've been here twice now and have loved it. First time was breakfast. I had a breakfast scramble that had sausage, egg and a Cayenne sauce that was very good. The ingredients blended well together. Yesterday I had the Reuben sandwich accompanied by the collard greens. The Reuben was one of the best I've ever had. The bread soft in the middle, right amount of sauerkraut, and a thick slice of pastrami. Collard greens were not a gummy mess but were soft and had a great texture.

So hubby and I, plus the kid by default decided to forgo the free breakfast at our hotel in favor of exploring local eats. With that said, we wanted to save most of our blow out meals for dinner. Thus I was happy to come across this place. Anyway, like Charme C. mentions, this spot is located inside a gas station. Not near it or attached to it, but inside it. Yeah, that's right. And I don't know about you, but when I think of gas station food, a phrase I use VERY loosely, my mind goes to the wrinkled-like-a-prune, sketchy looking hot dogs the high school kids snack on at my neighborhood fuel center. No worries of that here: This is food made with love. In fact, I had the chance to chat with the friendly chef/owner and from what I recall, she is a home cook who decided to grab the opportunity to open a restaurant in this location in an effort to provide affordable, thoughtfully prepared food to locals in need of such an option. As for our breakfast, I adored my Grit Cakes, something I'd never tried before. They are like a lighter, less dense version of Polenta Cakes, if you're familiar, but made with Grits of course. Hubby wasn't as enamored with his Breakfast Burrito, but I took a bite and it was definitely solid and fresh tasting, especially for the price. Kid, who's never encountered a Chicken Biscuit he didn't like, was happy with his pick. Interestingly, while conversing with the aforementioned chef/owner, she confided that she makes her Biscuits using only cream and no butter. So know that the Biscuits here are soft and tender, but different. Personally, I prefer the flavor and flakiness that butter adds. But that's me. The dining space for this little eatery is off to the side, away from the rest of the Gas Station. But don't go expecting much in terms of ambiance. There's some seating, and for us, at least, it was perfectly fine for a quick, uber casual breakfast. I kind of wish we'd had time to stop in again to try the Beet Sandwich that Hillary E. raves about. Maybe next time and I really hope there will be one.:)

We were like, how could a place that is located in a gas station have 68 five star reviews? Then we discovered -- it is fantastic. Next time I have people in town who want Southern, but in a great way, as opposed to a mass-produced-huddle-house way, I will take them all the way across town to this gas station. I got the Bowl of Goodness with grit cakes and sausage gravy and it almost killed me but, wow

These guys are awesome! I stumbled across their restaurant while taking a short-cut (I thought it was going to be a short-cut). I needed gas and stopped at the BP station. Traffic was backed up on Sardis Rd. so I decided to get a bite to eat. Great hamburger for around $10 with homemade tater chips. Nice little detour and spontaneous venture that paid off. They have plenty of variety on their menu. Anxious to try their chicken sandwich. Will recommend you should try at least once.

This was surprisingly super yummy! We got breakfast there and both got the bowl of freshness. I couldn't finish it because there was so much but it was soo good! They make there sausage homemade & the sauce they put on top was really good too. The only reason why I'm not giving it 5 stars is because it is in a gas station. If it was in its own stand alone place it would be the spot! The menu is limited but the choices are solid. Don't underestimate a place that is in a gas station! It might surprise you!

I love, love, love Sandhill Kitchen! Wonderful owners, great food and one of my top 3 casual food stops in my general neighborhood. Food is fresh and locally sourced. It's located in a gas station so you can easily miss it but don't let that deter you. It is currently only open as a drive through take out but they have managed to stay open during this pandemic and I am eternally grateful! My heart would break if they went away. I should add that I am terribly picky about my food and yet I don't like to cook and clean . Thank you Jamie for keeping this gem open no matter what! Nancy

Just go..once you do, you will become a regular. Breakfast burrito highly recommend. Daily specials..that are truly chefs kiss! Meatloaf sandwich is to die for. The staff are the absolute best! If you're lucky you may even get a little drawing on your to-go box.

I would give this more than 5 stars if I could. I was questioning whether or not to eat here, as I typically don't eat at restaurants attached to gas stations. BOY AM I GLAD I DID!! The food was amazing and the portions were very sizable! This is obviously a hidden gem....go check it out!

Worthless place that will hang up on you because you paused when ordering. Then when you call back and express that it's rude, they hang up again. Save your time. Obviously the little girls in here can handle taking orders.

We were in Asheville for a long weekend and searched Yelp for a place for Saturday brunch. Thankfully we tried Sand Hill Kitchen. This was hands down the best meal we had while in town. We ordered the BLT + egg, fried chicken + egg, and eggs + sausage + potatoes. We spent the meal both offering each a bite of what we ordered and yet hoping they wouldn't want a second. So fresh. So yummy. So off the beaten path, we're lucky we didn't miss it. Do yourself a favor and stop by. We will definitely be back.

We have been to SHK many, many times. Great food across the board. However, the bulk of their lunch menu is sandwiches now running $10-13 each with a tiny side. Overpriced for essentially a drive-thru experience at a gas station. Could be more palatable if the large sandwich portions were smaller and more suited to a lighter mid-day meal rather than a heavy dinner. Hand-made desserts are delicious, but also overpriced. Amazing food, but we've been going to SHK less frequently due to the poor value.

I love SHK for breakfast and lunch! Everything on the menu is excellent, and they have great daily specials. The Love Cheeseburger is one of the best in town. For breakfast, the chicken biscuit can't be beat! Occasionally the special is French toast with chicken tenders and blueberries. That's my absolute favorite, and I wish it was on the menu daily! So excited they are now offering dinner a few days a week, and I look forward to what they will be offering! As others have said, don't let the gas station location discourage you from eating here, it's truly some of the best food in town. It's nice to not have to go downtown or into West Asheville for a tasty meal. On busy days we usually order ahead and get it to go because seating is limited.
