So we took a little detour for a Monday afternoon lunch, so I was taken to this little place in…read moretown. One of the first things we noticed was actually the one big negative this place has and why I can't give this any higher than what this is getting. So this was a cute little place where you could even get some outdoor seating, but because of the bustle this place has gotten, you can notice right away how cramped this can get. Over at some tables, you might get a little trapped if you sit their at the wrong time. It works against waiters and waitresses too because they could easy bump into tables and spill a bit of food. For example, I did notice a few chips fall on the floor on its way to a table. So if you choose to eat in, do keep that in mind. That or either eat outside or get it delivered. That being said, everything else about the place was pretty good. My brother and I got large lemonades, and their idea of large fits! We got jumbo cups of the stuff which is nice on a hot summer day. For lunch, I had the triple grilled cheese, no tomato and extra bacon while my brother went with the Reuben. When we get the food, my brother said a little prayer of grace before we began eating. I totally devoured that sandwich like it took my lunch money. It was a good sandwich with a nice char to the bread. As for the Reuben, my brother replied it was alright. Nothing bad, but nothing spectacular either. That was about fair. So overall the food's good. So is the attitude of the employees as well. I have no complaints with their customer service. So overall, good spot to eat as long as you don't mind it being a bit cramped. This is about a 3.5/5 and is what this would get if half-stars were available on Yelp. For now though, it has to settle for a 3.

If someone had told me I'd find one of the best Cuban sandwiches I've had outside of Florida in…read moreBryson City, North Carolina, I probably wouldn't have believed them--but High Test Deli & Sweet Shop proved me wrong. We stopped in on the recommendation of a local shop owner while we were visiting Bryson City, and I'm so glad we did. Being from the Tampa area, we're pretty picky about Cuban sandwiches. They're a staple back home, so our expectations were high. The owner happened to be there and confidently recommended the Cuban, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. There was a short wait while it was made fresh, but it was well worth it. The sandwich was perfectly balanced, flavorful, and honestly tasted like a little piece of home. We packed it up and enjoyed it before heading out for an afternoon of tubing, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. The shop itself is charming, clean, and has a welcoming atmosphere where you can sit down and enjoy your meal. We didn't try the sweets this time, but they looked delicious and give us another reason to come back. Meeting the owner made the experience even better. He was friendly, welcoming, and clearly takes pride in what he serves. Whether you're a fellow Floridian missing a great Cuban or you've never had one before, do yourself a favor and stop by High Test Deli & Sweet Shop. It's absolutely worth it. This is an easy 5-star recommendation, and we'll be back the next time we're in Bryson City.

It's not always easy to find a place that delivers good food, good service, and good value, but High Test Deli did all three. We would definitely stop by again the next time we're in the area.

Located just off the Erwin highway, it's easy to find. There is a small sign at the road entrance,…read morebut the two red buildings are easier to see. The one closest to the road is the covered eating area with the other being the deli. Parking is on a half paved, half gravel lot in front of the buildings. The parking spaces are not marked and I did not see a designated handicapped space. There is a nice ramp going into the deli to make entering easier. Walking in, the ordering counter is directly in front. There is a meat and cheese cooler to the left and a pie/ cake cooler (which also holds the drinks) to the right. This area is small so can get crowded. The only menu on the wall was for the meat and cheese deli items. The prepared foodi menu is on the ordering counter, although they seem to prefer you order ahead by calling or online. There is also a small sign on the counter with the daily special. I was greeted as soon as I entered and my order taken right away. The Reuben sandwich and fries took about 10 minutes to make. The sandwich was well-wrapped separately from the fries. Everything stayed hot for the short drive home. The Reuben ($9.49) was very nice. The marble rye was grilled with plentiful sauerkraut, Thousand Island dressing, and cheese. I would have preferred more meat as it did get lost in all the other ingredients. I tried a French fry as soon as I entered my vehicle and found they were not crispy on the outside. The fries ($3.99) were fine and were fully cooked, but I prefer them crispy on the outside. The cash price was $14.25 and was certainly a filling and good meal. Their sandwich menu has several interesting options and the cakes and pies looked delicious. The Whistle Stop is worthy of a stop.

I stopped in my first day and got the LT sandwich, which was amazing, but I ended up spending almost as much time looking around the store as I did eating. They have everything from local mustards and honey to tinned fish, seasonings, and a whole section from a local creamery with ice cream, yogurt, smoothies, etc. Everything seems thoughtfully picked out and locally sourced when possible, without having the ridiculous prices you sometimes expect from a place like this. The staff was also amazing--genuinely friendly, helpful, and happy to talk about the food and everything they carry. I liked the place enough that, despite having an entire city of restaurants I'd never tried before, I came back the very next day. This time I got the grinder, which ended up being my favorite, along with the roast beef, which was also delicious. Between the sandwiches, the people, and the frankly ridiculous amount of good shit packed into the store, everything about this place was great. There are plenty of places I didn't get a chance to try while I was in Asheville, but I have absolutely no regrets using two lunches on this one. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town.
