★★★★★ 5.0 Shawn Casselberry · Mar 2026

We stayed over one night in Waynesville and found this gem of a restaurant. They had us at "mountain tavern." It was a popular spot for locals but we were still able to be seated within five minutes. They have unique drink specials, we tried the blackberry gin fizz, which was sweet and good. We started with some buffalo wings and then had the fettuccine alfredo with onion straws and the country fried steak. Everything was excellent and the portions were generous. We were stuffed and had plenty of leftovers. We will definitely come here again whenever we stop through the area.

Last stop after a day long of reckless eating, so want too hungry. They have a taco Tuesday special, $3 tacos, and I think $5 assorted sides. Wife and I got the shred beef tacos and a side of beans and rice. Food: Typical white washed tacos, not a fan but I’ll eat em and I did. Tacos were cold, served without salsa, just some drizzle of something on the top. Beans and rice, lifeless without seasoning. Considering where we are, a typical diner in Waynesville NC, it’s not unexpected although there are gems to be found in the area. I could see the how these tacos could pass for the area. Not hating on them, just not my kind. Price: Pretty decent, $3 for tacos and they’re “normal” size, not street size. Service: Great. We were checked up on and refilled multiple times. Atmosphere: Cozy. Di

Our server and bartender Heather was absolutely amazing! We are visiting from Florida but she was absolutely warmer than Florida to my whole family! Food was delicious we definitely recommend this place! and you should definitely ask for heather to be your server ❤️

We went, kinda late, for dinner. We arrived around 8:15. The place was pretty much empty. Love the aesthetic and all the decor! Our waitress was amazing and funny. I wish I would've asked for her name. We got our food quickly and it was really good! We all tried something different. I highly recommend the chicken and waffle sandwich with a side of pimento mac and cheese! We will definitely be going back!

My husband got their cheeseburger, which was excellent. I got the seafood combo, with cod & shrimp, which was overbreaded but it was served piping hot. We received great service, but there were only a few people there. Very clean, plenty of parking and t.v.'s for sports enthusiasts.
