Granny's restaurant, lunch spot, breakfast stop, hole in the wall... whatever you wish to call it, is a little behind the times. I remember years ago they were talking about remodeling the building. Then they mentioned an addition to the existing structure. Now I think they are just waiting for someone to buy them out and build something there. The Weaverville Hardee's that was across the street diagonally went out of business due to mismanagement when it comes down to it. I stopped going because it looked unkept totally from the outside, then I walked it and got bad attitudes and service, and the Manager was constantly behind the counter eating. It kind of made me lose my appetite.Granny's is a great place for a quick snack, home cookin, breakfast and lunch specials, and periodic desserts. Some people call it the "greasy spoon" because there is nothing "Green" about the place (well I did see they had some fruit one day, lol). Country Cooking in the raw, maybe just lightly blended to match the mixed clientel around Weaverville. Contractors and subcontractors (as well as regulars and locals) fill this place up for breakfast and lunch. You have to go outside (and then in another side door) to use the bathroom, so it is kinda the outhouse effect. I remember years ago, they used to ask what type of ham... City or Country. I did not know at the time, but quickly realized "City" ham was what I wanted. For those of you who do not know what Country Ham is; it is a slab of thick ham and covered in salt. Throw that "slab" on a biscuit with some eggs and breakfast was served. I think it comes from back in the days before we had refrigerators and food slicers. I like my ham thin, and the Boar's Head brand if available.
Granny's has been around for years, but with the area growth, they will be forced to make a move soon or get run over by incoming chain restaurants and competition. Businesses are going to eat the New Stock Road exit in Weaverville NC alive. There is too much room and it is the perfect connector to Woodfin and North Asheville. Granny... can you please tell us your plans!

Granny's is in Woodfin, not Weaverville. Just thought you'd want to know. So is Ingles and Pizza Hut for that matter.
once weaverville town council votes to let woodland hills to become a part of the town, it will be included in weaverville and not woodfin!!!! Therefore ingles and pizza hut will NOT be included in woodfin.
Well just to say a few things about Granny's, to help clear up the first post that I read on here. First thing is, we have been here for 22 years. We lease the property, so we have never talked about adding another structure on to our building.And we don't ever want the owners to sell it,unless its to us. We keep it clean, and most of our food is homemade, we keep our prices low, for the working people who are the heart of our buisness. Therefore the building may not be the fanciest one around. Our attitudes we always try to keep in check, but on certain occasions, we may have had all we can take from a hateful customer, or one who thinks they are better than us people who work there, and it might be reflected in our attitude. We have never had fruit on the counter, not sure where that came from. Its just downhome cooking, simple and good. There is not a manager there, the owners are always there, plus a few other workers, people do not eat behind the counter, when we eat we have a table in the kitchen that we use. When we are not so busy that we have time to eat.
Really good food..we love to eat there, good prices... anytime we are working in that area, we are there!!!
We drive from candler to eat there .Marvelous biscuits and gravy. Just like my grandmother made back in the fifty's. Job very well done.
