We ate here this week and it was absolutely delicious. Our waitress was Lauren and she was fabulous! Very kind and welcoming. The environment was amazing as well. Everyone was so nice from the time we entered to the time we left. Wonderful place to eat!! read more

Absolutely phenomenal. No wonder they were rated one of the top restaurants in the southeast, and that's not just for breakfast places. This place does everything right! If anyone reading this wants to open a restaurant, I would highly recommend studying this place. Let's get to the good stuff. I was told I would have a 30-minute wait, and that's just for one--I always travel solo on a poker trip. Well ... almost any trip. Anyway, I explored the grounds and I found a large lawn, a creek, a bridge over that creek, a fake mill (I think it was fake), and three little birds (they were not at my doorstep). After this pleasant exploration that brought great peace and even the idea of moving to Maggie Valley to be closer to poker (and a pancake house), I was called in. The super friendly lady that checked me in told me it would be worth the wait. She was not wrong. So, check this out. Two big pancakes, perfectly cooked dry scrambled eggs as I ordered them, and the best bacon I have ever tasted was a total of around $15 before tax. That's a pretty good deal, especially for one of the best breakfast experiences of your life. My waitress was also superb. I won't mention a name because now that I stopped writing books and this is my writing outlet, some have jumped over and each Google review is getting 10k-100k views (not talking about photos, actual reviews). And then people speculate. I'm going to avoid all that drama. I might have made one mistake with my meal, but it depends how you view it. I went with the super healthy syrup. It's not called Super Healthy Syrup, but that's how I viewed it. I'm a gym rat and I don't eat heavy at all but I sure don't like boring. The pancakes themselves were excellent but I chose the wrong syrup. Now I know to go with the chemically-enhanced version. It's the rebel in me. Gotta do it. Last thing: atmosphere is amazing. Everything is spotless and perfectly spaced. Just so you know, you pay at the front. Extremely Highly Recommended! To have Joey's Pancake House and Frankie's Italian Trattoria right down the street from each other is something. read more

Check in was orderly. You walked up into a holding area where someone took your party number and put you in queue. Weather was nice so we had the choice to sit outside or in the holding area. We were sat fairly quickly. Helpful tip : if you order house specials and decide to upgrade to fancy pancakes, you can have two different pancakes! Their syrup is brought to the table nice and warm! I got the house special with sausage. Went with the poppyseed pancake and the seasonal (whixh apparently was strawberry). I had my eggs scrambled. Pancakes were great! They were light and fluffy, and the lemon poppyseed was excellent. The scrambled eggs were nicely done. I really enjoyed the pancake! Daughter got the 3 pancake set from the kids menu. Same wonderful pancakes. Husband got a bacon and cheese omlet. The egg of omlet was great, they were generous with bacon. He did not care for the cheese they used... and did not like the "butter" they put on his toast (wish I knew to ask for on the side?) Service was very good! Would recommend for sure read more

We stopped at one of our favorite breakfast places while in the mountains, Joey's Pancake House. Greg was our server and he was awesome. The pancake of the day, PEACH. OH MY GOODNESS. I had the House Special with two eggs, bacon, and two pancakes. My husband had the special with corned beef hash. He also added the hashbrown casserole. Both were so delicious. The peach pancakes with fresh peaches were over the top delicious. The corned beef hash was crispy and yummy. The hashbrown casserole was creamy and yummy. Every single thing we ate was SO delicious. You need to visit soon. Make the trip, it is definitely worth the trip. read more

Shout out to Brenna, (and Hailey*) she was awesome! Super quick and mindful of us. If we come back during our visit we would ask for her again. Never have I had a pancake as light and fluffy as I have here. The pumpkin pancake was awesome and the service was fast and reliable too. Food came out pretty quick but it looked like we just beat a huge crowd when we were on our way out. Try to get there before 9 to beat the crowds. The restaurant itself is old but so obviously well cared for and clean/ renovated. Beautiful location with beautiful views outside even in the waiting area up front. It was a bit expensive for breakfast BUT it was so worth it with all other things considered. Awesome food, awesome service, great ambience and vibes. read more

In town for the week from Florida with my wife and MIL, who has been here several times over the years. Last two years we've been up during summer and the wait was too long for our larger party. Thankful that we are here off season and had only a 3 minute wait! First of all, the charm of this place is something else! From the wooden booths with big cushions, to the gingham curtains and old-timey feel it's just amazing and welcoming. Then add the friendliness of the staff (Howard was our server), and this place wins several points. There's also a great little shopping area near the register, full of all kinds of Joey's merchandise to take home. Then you get to the variety of options and the actual food itself. Wow!!! I always get a veggie omelette when I go to breakfast places and this one -- and with all that comes with it -- hands down, the best breakfast I've had while eating out! The omelette itself was delicious and had amazing, fresh veggies packed inside and out. It was moist and flavorful. It came with a salsa on the side that was so fresh and tasty, that I ate some by itself as I don't prefer things like that on my eggs. The most amazing biscuit was included as well, along with a choice of grits or an up charge to their hash brown casserole, which is what I chose. Wow, delicious!! (Get the original if you don't like spicy). My wife got the Tuscan omelette and gave me her grits, and they were so creamy and packed with buttery flavor even before I added a little maple syrup to them! Finally, my MIL got eggs and two pancakes, one she shared with my wife and I -- again, paying an up charge for a small bottle of their maple syrup (much like you'd get at Cracker Barrel, but local and fresh). It was big, fluffy, and had a great flavor! As I mentioned, Howard was our server and we had great conversation with him. He recommended a couple of great dinner options around the area we hadn't considered, and we heard him recommend other touristy stops to make to another couple nearby. Be prepared to pay a few bucks for the up charges, but to me they were worth it to make this such an amazing meal. I reviewed a breakfast place back home recently and said I'd never pay $15-20 for breakfast there again, but when we come back here next year, I definitely would! read more

Stopped in for an Anniversary breakfast and we're were greeted with a smile as we entered. Our waitress was sweet and took care of us with hot coffee and ran through the specials for the day. We were treated with special heart waffles as a treat for celebrating our anniversary with them. The waffles and red velvet pancakes were fantastic. The restaurant was clean and quiet. I'll be back again soon. read more

We had heard from The Many who toasted JPH. YES! It is an excellent breakfast gathering for campers and locals. Decor is good and promotes local highlights: mountains and elk. Service is good once seated. The two seaters are tight and should be for singles only. WiFi was excellent and with computer in hand was grateful for the extra space of a 4-seater. I ordered the 2+2+ ham house special. It was just the biggest ham slice ever and never made it to the doggie bag. The pancakes were 1st class- warm plate, real warm syrup, with butter and VERY tasty. The eggs came as ordered (over easy) but nothing special there. A very filling balanced meal- thank you. My wife had a western omelette that was excellent. I was jealous of the additional flavors but she liked my ham. Choices. . . !! Sharing is a couples thing. Our service was real good. The ladies are attentive and professional. But the out front hostess seemed clueless about availability. There were many empty seats while we awaited our seating call to come inside. Her role as a greeter though, coming and going, is a friendly reminder of hospitality past. It slows us down so that we are prepared to BREAK the FAST. The bathrooms were clean and void of oders. So often they are overlooked. Not here. This parting remembrance solidifies 5-star scoring. A comment on the parking. We travel in a motor home. There was plenty of parking. Thank you Joey read more

Delicious! Had the apple strudel pancakes with the real Vermont maple syrup and bacon! Yummmmm! So light, fluffy and tasty! Aiden suggested the loaded hash browns too - they were phenomenal! I wish I could have eaten more but I was stuffed. He kept our coffee cups filled and checked on us regularly. The place was packed. The sweet lady checking folks in told us it would be 20-25 minutes and it was exactly 20. We were seated in the cutest 2 seater booth with a lovely view of the mountains. Great place! read more

We came to Joey's for brunch on a Tuesday and had a delightful experience. Service was quick and friendly, food came out hot and was delicious! We had pancakes, bacon, corned beef hash, eggs and hash brown casserole. Obviously based on the name, we had high hopes for the pancakes. They did not disappoint! Fresh, fluffy and hot, with softened butter and warm (!) bottles of sweet pancake syrup on the side. They have bottomless coffee and a homey diner vibe. Definitely a great stop for a cozy mountain breakfast! read more

Joey's is a fixture in Maggie Valley. A trip for meal will tell you why. Something rarely seen is a health score of 100. They have a large breakfast menu and are open until 2:00, so thats breakfast and lunch. The kitchen is loaded with cooks so the food comes out quick, even on busy days. The wait staff is on point always. Some a full time some are part time, but all are easy going and provide service with a smile. The atmosphere is relaxed and casual. You can have a conversation without having to holler. I enjoy the extra large wagon wheel lights and the metal elk wall sculpture. read more

The ladies I came around repeatedly filling my coffee cup, they were great. The waitress had trouble getting her order. She was very busy even though it was well after two on a Sunday. After the breakfast rush. We couldn't decide what to order. I finally decided on the Tuscan omelette, which was actually very good, except it arrived cold. I was so hungry I didn't and I didn't wanna complain. I just started eating. Funny it was the first thing that came to the table. A cold omelette. The next thing that came to the table was my friend side dish. I can't remember if the biscuits arrived after that or my friends massive omelette. My friend ordered the southwestern omelette and repeatedly told the waitress she wanted it well done even burnt. She also requested egg whites. She was charged $3.95 extra for the up charge of only White. When her omelette finally arrived, it was massive. The strangest thing is that it was decorated with a drizzle of what we could only figure out was balsamic vinegar glaze. It was not listed at all in the menu. All I could say is definitely order pancakes there. Or the Tuscan omelette. My friend didn't eat any of our omelette. We ended up bringing it back to Asheville and in the end, throwing it away. If I were her, I would've refused to pay for it. Again, five stars for the lady that kept coming around and filling my coffee cup. I waitress for many years and breakfast restaurants. An omelette shouldn't arrive cold. All the items should not have arrived separately. Our omelettes were ordered at the same time yet arrived at least five minutes apart. Again it was at the end, the very end of their breakfast rush. They had no one waiting in line to be seated. There was no explanation for why the food came separately like that. read more

If you end up in Maggie Valley after visiting the park or even before stop at Joeys. I would normally skip a pancake place but most other restaurants were closed. This place is great! Super friendly staff and excellent food. More breakfast options than you can decide on. I went with the Greek omelette which was very tasty and full of cheese and veggies. It also came with baked apples a slice of tomato and a biscuit. Plenty!! Go early as they are only open until 1pm. read more

i apparently didn't get the same amazing service everyone else gets when they come here. maybe i just don't fit the usual crowd. a waiter came by my table and told me i looked "grungy." it was the weirdest thing anyone has ever said to me. i just moved here, and this wasn't a very welcoming feeling. i guess he saw the look on my face and tried to backtrack and say he meant it as a compliment. how exactly? also the strawberry pancakes were overly sweet and the coffee was weak. not worth the price or the buzz this place gets. then again not everyone gets insulted by the waitstaff like i did i guess. read more

Heard about this place from a gentleman at a nearby gas station and knew I had to try it, nothing beats a good breakfast joint. Well, I think I found the BEST breakfast joint. Stopped here with my fiancé before our long trip back home and was blown away by the food and outstanding service. Skyler was our server and she was extremely attentive, positive, down-to-earth, and helpful when we asked what was probably an absurd amount of questions regarding menu items. In the past I have felt like a bother when asking questions but she made me feel right at home! And the pumpkin pancakes??? I'll need to contact Joey himself for the recipe cause I need them all day every day. Thank you Joey's for a wonderful meal and Skyler for a wonderful experience! read more

What can I say, the hype is truly worth it. Our party of 4 arrived there at 12:30pm, a half hour before Joey's 1pm closing. There was still a line of patrons waiting for tables. The hostess was full of southern hospitality and told me not to worry, that they take patrons until 1pm, so we were ok. She said it would be about a 1/2 hour wait, but it was only about 20 mins. Let me say, that it was WORTH the wait! Everything we ordered was delicious. The pancakes are no lie, the fluffiest! I ordered the candy pecan pancakes with a two scrambled eggs and bacon! The bacon was cooked exactly how I like it! Nice and crispy My sons loved the original and chocolate chip pancakes. My husband ordered the seasonal strawberry pancakes. When the pancakes first arrived to the table, it seems like they only have a little bit of each topping on them, but when you separate the pancakes from each other, you can see they have plenty of whatever topping you ordered. Lastly we ordered a side of the Western Hashbrown casserole (extra cheese, onions, and red/green peppers). We we love original HBC, and make it all the time at home, but the Western HBC was a nice surprise to the tastebuds. I couldn't finish my pancakes and that's ok because I got to take home the leftovers Also a BIG shout out to our amazing waitress Claudia who was very nice and patient with all of our questions about the food and touristy places in the area. read more
