Welcome home to Louise’s Kitchen, a unique ask-for-seconds restaurant in North Carolina. Located in picturesque Black Mountain, the scrumptious cuisine offered here leaves us wanting more. This creative culinary team makes breakfast, lunch, and Sunday brunch sourced from local farms. And the kid’s menu is outstanding. Beginning at 7:30 a.m., breakfast is served all day every day except for Sunday when brunch begins at 10:00 a.m. Lunch is served from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. when this delightful eatery closes. Craft beer, Manmosas, and Megamoses are refreshing choices to complete any meal at any time.

Louise's sits inside a charming house that was built in 1904.

We love the buttermilk pancakes served with love and house-made vanilla bean syrup, strawberries, and a choice of bacon or Chop Shop sausage.

This baby calls for peppers, onions, and Louise’s famous pimento cheese on a fresh hoagie roll.
