Iron Horse was always a favorite. It's now under new ownership and there are changes to the menu, but in a good way. It now has Asian items on the menu, which I'm excited to try next time. My husband and I had the smash burgers, which were excellent. The fries were crispy and delicious. My son had the 4 oz sirloin and collard greens. His steak was cooked perfectly and the collards were some of the best we have had! There is no liquor by the drink sales in Hot Springs, so I was impressed by the sake margarita. I'll be craving that again for sure! The ambiance of this place is different since the flood. I hated that the original bar, floors, and booths got destroyed, but they did a very good job with the decor. The bar is much bigger now and the space feels more open. This place is run by a sweet family that recently moved here. It seems like everyone pitches in. I'm excited to stay in the inn. I hope they do well so they can expand. We will definitely be back to support!

I was in Hot Springs for a couple of days on section hike of the Appalachian Trail. I stopped in to…read moreeat 3 different meals there over the course of three days. Day 1: Lunch. Another hiker and I decided to stop in as we got to town and have a late lunch. It had been a couple of days since we'd had town food and we were tired and hungry. The first thing I noticed was the wait to be seated. We waited about 20 minutes, and once we got to the dining area, there were several empty tables. Once we're seated and ordered, the food came out timely and was delicious. I had a cheeseburger and the cherry cobbler with ice cream. Day 2: Breakfast. Since the food was good, we decided to go back for breakfast again the next day. Again, there was a wait to be seated. We were a group of 5 so we expected there might be a wait. The waitress was friendly and our orders were placed quickly. it did take a while for the food to come out from the kitchen. I had a country breakfast plate with ham. Again the food was delicious. Day 3: Supper. We had a relatively short wait to be seated this time. We were seated and asked for some water. It took over 20 minutes to get the water. Finally a different waitress came out and took our order. I ordered the hungry hiker challenge. It is a cheeseburger with three 8-ounce burger patties on it. The menu says if you finish you get some free cobbler. While we were waiting for our food we noticed that a local who came in and sat down after we were seated had already been served and was done eating before our food arrived. I finished the burger, and some of the other patron's noticed and congratulated me. When the waitress arrived she asked if we needed anything else. I asked if the free cobbler came with ice cream on it. She said no, so I ordered ice cream to go with my cobbler. It was a peach that day. Again, the food was delicious. The main thing that I notice about the restaurant was that despite having great food, service was pretty slow. One of the hikers I ate with noticed that the waitresses seemed to have to seat the customers, take the orders, deliver the food, clean the tables, and handle the check-out at the end of the meals. It seems like the service would have been much quicker if they had someone handling the seating, check-out's, and possibly bussing and cleaning tables. The worst part of the experience was the long waits to be seated and for the food to come out. The food itself was great and I found the servers and other customers to be friendly. The furnishings were clean with a 1960's diner feel. Overall, I would hesitate to go back if I were in a hurry of any kind. If time is no object, the food is great.

Not only was the food…read moreamazing, the entire experience was so nostalgic that I'm looking forward to booking another stay in Hot Springs again soon and enjoying more meals here. Next time, I'm leaving room for pie. I don't believe we had just one waitress. It seems that in this quaint little Diner, everyone is looked after and checked on as a whole by staff. My Ball jar of sweet tea was never any less than half full, and that sweet tea was *chef's kiss*. We both decided on the meatloaf, and I opted for cornbread, green beans and pickled beets. I felt like I had been transported back in time and was being fed by my great great grandmother. Sounds a bit dramatic, I know. But I haven't had cornbread, meatloaf or beets like this in so many years. It did not taste like restaurant food, it tasted like home cooking. We're already planning our next little "run away from life and parenthood" to Hot Springs, and Smoky Mountain Diner is top of the "will definitely visit again" list. Thank you for treating us like family.

It started out with my glass of wine, which was $18 and looked to be about a 4 ounce pour. The focaccia appetizer was very good. We sat there waiting for a good 30 minutes, excited to eat. My son ordered a burger and fries. The burger was OK, but the french fries were cooked so much that they were hollow inside. They were really bad. My husband and I split the pasta special and it was honestly terrible. It tasted like Campbell's tomato soup, and there was a very small amount of ground sausage in it. My other son got the mushroom papardelle. The mushrooms were good, the pasta seemed house made but was overall not very tasty and it was stuck together. The sauce was ok. On the plus side, the atmosphere was beautiful. very cozy and inviting. The waitress was very nice. If the food and portions could be caught up with the atmosphere, this place would be a winner for sure, but they've got a ways to go in my opinion. We don't mind paying for good food but this was not it.

Everything on the menu we ordered was delicious, but the roasted carrots on a bed of ricotta and the sautéed spinach were perfect starters with the garlic knots. Absolutely loved the short rib stroganoff and would order it again. Another standout was the wild boar Bolognese, not really for me, but the other people in our group loved it. Overall, this place has a lot of ambience and great service too. Again, I would say order extra garlic knots. In the first round, they bring them out on the house, but additional orders are at a nominal cost. Delightful place and the food is superb!
