The food was flavorful and delicious. Mattie was a wonderful server. The back patio is beautiful on a nice day.

The food was excellent overall! The corn dip was rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious. I customized my burger with goat cheese and pepper jelly. I had asked for no tomatoes and to add pickles. They accidentally left the tomatoes on but did add the pickles. It was an easy fix, so it wasn't a big deal. The sweet potato hush puppies were delicious and definitely worth ordering. The crispy Brussels sprouts were the only disappointment. They weren't actually crispy and seemed a little undercooked. They were better dipped in the ranch, but I think they would have been much better if they had been cooked longer and sliced a little thinner. The atmosphere was great, with plenty of seating, and it was very kid-friendly. Overall, I'd definitely come back. read more

We had an excellent meal at Main Street Diner! The fish and chips were outstanding. Crispy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The portions were generous, and everything came out fresh and hot. The inside of the dinner was so pretty. Loved the brick, bold wallpaper, and chandeliers. Chris was our server, and he was fantastic. Friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever being overbearing. Great food and great service made for a wonderful experience. We would definitely stop here again the next time we're in Waynesville! read more

It has been a while since we at at Main Street Diner. We came in today to meet friends for breakfast. I have had lunch here before, but not breakfast. I had biscuits and gravy with eggs and bacon. It was really good. Cooked exactly as I had ordered it. Our friends ordered various other breakfast items. All were good. Although we were seated right away, it took quite a while for a server to take our drink orders. It took even longer to order our food. Considering that it was not busy at all, we were a bit surprised it took so long. The restaurant was clean inside as usual. We ate outside and the floors were quite sticky. Overall it was a good experience, a very good meal, and not terribly overpriced. We will go back again. read more

Cute spot. Server was new, did ok but was very nervous. Instead of an entree I got two appetizers. The Street Corn Dip was delicious. The Fried Goat Cheese was a miss - a bit gloopy and the breading didn't have much crunch or flavor. Needed the sauce. read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE! Went for breakfast on Tue. Aug 18 at 8:15am. Nice facilities, but POOR service. Only 2 other people in the place seated at the counter. We sat a counter too. No staff seen anywhere in the dining area. !! Waiting 5-7 minutes...still no staff. Saw a young lady with dark black hair enter from the back of the room. I made eye contact, but she went directly into the kitchen. Waited another 2-3 minutes. Still no staff in the dining area. My wife and I got up to leave the Diner. As I opened the exit door I was able to look down the hall and see the young lady with dark black hair talking with a young man will stark red hair. They looked up, saw us, and then went back to their small talk with one another. The Manager or owner should make sure their hired staff are doing the job for which they are paid. read more

Fantastic food! It was busy -- to be expected for Sunday brunch -- but my husband and I only waited five or 10 minutes. I knew I had to have a blueberry pancake, but it took a while to decide what all to order because the menu looked fantastic. Fresh biscuits, sandwiches, omelettes, unique sides... I ended up going with the Reuben, because I can rarely resist it on a menu -- especially if the corned beef is house made, which at this spot, it is. l ordered pesto orzo as a side, at a slight upcharge, and of COURSE my blueberry pancake for dessert. My husband got a French dip-style cheesesteak and fries. The flavors on everything were immaculate. I don't usually like cheesesteaks because the meat usually lacks flavor and relies on cheese to make it interesting. Not at Main Street Diner -- the ribeye is local and full of flavor. The corned beef was salty and tender. The pesto orzo was bright and herby. The pancake? I mean, how could you go wrong? Soft and buttery with just a hint of crisp at the edges, doused in syrup as it should be. Our server, Richard, was super friendly and never let our coffee mugs get low. It felt really clean and modern in there, but it still had a little bit of that read more

Still a great place, but wished you had chips for your sandwiches instead of fries! Just a suggestion from a repeat customer.

Saw this cute diner while doing some shopping in the area. We were greeted and seated right away. Our waitress was friendly and attentive throughout our time there. The menu had tons of options. I went with the meatloaf with mac & cheese and mashed potatoes. Everything was delicious! The meatloaf might have been the best that I've ever had. I highly suggest giving this place a try. read more

We stopped in for a quick appetizer and cold drink. Saw the sanitation score of 100 and knew we this was the place. It's been here since 1806 but you wouldn't know it. Clean, fresh and huge inside! Entered and immediately greeted with a welcome. Set at the counter on a very comfy stool. Ice cold coke and fried pickles with homemade ranch HIT THE SPOT!! The husband got hungry and ordered a breakfast sandwich that came with hasbrowns. The sandwich was HUGE, not fancy or any extra frills. Simple and delicous- done right. The hasbrowns were so crispy and cooked perfectly. Breakfast is served all day so we don't have to wake up early next time we visit. The place is welcoming and clean. Definitely gotta give it a try if you are ever downtown Waynesville! read more

We went on a Sunday afternoon around 1:30ish. It wasn't packed and they sat us immediately(5ppl). We ordered and added an appetizer of fried pickles. The pickles had a good breading crunch but the pickles themselves were really soggy/hardly there. We waited over an hour for our food as we watched tables around us get theirs before us, yet they arrived after us. The waitress was very sweet and although we had to ask for our refills, she did respond quickly. Once we got our food, it was just okay. The hot honey for the chicken and waffles wasn't good in our opinion. I like trying small businesses but for the price , what we got, and how long we had to wait- we won't be going back. read more

Awesome service and food. Mattie was great with our huge group. Brussel Sprouts were amazing, as was the fried goat cheese.

Stopped in here on the way to another spot, and we were not disappointed. The diner has been around since the early 1800's and definitely has a great feel. Food was great, service was awesome. One small critique is I asked for a printed receipt, and it never came so we just ended up leaving. That said, I would absolutely come here again. read more

First time having lunch here. Large space. Jack was our server. Did an amazing job with the Arnold Palmer.

We have been here so many times I've lost count. Not once have we had bad service or bad food. I love the historical photos and dark cozy setting. We came for a birthday lunch for my husband expecting to have one of their yummy desserts, but couldn't eat another bite. We tried a new appetizer, fried goat cheese with pepper jelly. I'm not a fan of either of those but believe me, the combination? A MAZE ING. read more

Main Street Diner in Waynesville never disappoints, but this visit was next level thanks to our waitress, BAYLEIGH! From the moment we sat down, she was warm, attentive, and on top of everything without ever making us feel rushed. Our drinks stayed filled, our food came out perfectly, and she checked in at just the right times. You can tell she genuinely cares about her customers and takes pride in what she does. Great service like that makes all the difference. If you go, ask for BAYLEIGH -- she's a rockstar! We'll definitely be back! read more

Will be back to Main Street Diner. The smash burger delivers juicy, flavorful beef with a great crust, complemented by well-chosen toppings. The chop salad offers a balanced mix of textures and flavors, elevated by a standout homemade ranch. Overall, great service and home cooking. read more

Ate lunch first day and came back for breakfast the next morning. Great food. Service was spot on.

Delicious food, good service, and beautiful design. Went here for breakfast and had the most delicious omelette ever. Great place for mocktails, including virgin daiquiris! read more

So yummy!!! We're from out of state and was just passing through. We saw this diner and stopped to get takeout. The girl taking our order was so nice and helpful (I didn't get her name but she had long, reddish hair). We took forever to decide what we wanted and she was so patient and helpful with us and told us what was best on the menu. We ordered an hour before close so there was only one other family dining inside. We got the pimento chicken dinner, the parkway steak sandwich, and the declarlo chicken dinner. We also got sides of grilled broccoli, onion rings, fried okra, and french fries. Everything was phenomenal, no critiques whatsoever. Would definitely go back and recommend to others!! read more

Mattie was awesome. Food was great. Definetly recommend this place. My favorite was brussel sprouts and fried goat cheese. ​

Waited 20 minutes longer than we were quoted (not a huge deal) then once seated waited 10 Minutes to take drink order and then another hour plus to get the food. Absolutely ridiculous!! Food was so-so. We won't be back! read more

I always love coming to this restaurant. The food is good, and employees are so nice. Erica was my waitress last week and she couldn't have been more accommodating. She checked on me and made sure I was happy with my food. I don't think I've ever had a bad experience yet at this restaurant read more

I stopped by Main Street Diner recently, and honestly--it was a bit of a mixed bag. The place has that cozy small-town vibe, and the staff seemed semi friendly but distracted on first arrival. The menu had all a lot of choices--breakfast plates, soups and sandwiches. My food came out pretty quick, which I appreciated, but some dishes hit better than others. The soup was flavorful, but the salmon plate was a little under-seasoned and not as flavorful as I'd hoped like it was straight out of a package. The food itself at best was warm and not steaming hot as expected. Prices were reasonable, portions were okay and overall it's a good spot if you want comfort food. Just expect a few ups and downs depending on what you order. Would I go back? Probably, not especially beings our waiter also would only speak to my husband and stood directly over us as we paid and made sure we tipped and then commented on the tip left. read more

Excellent service! I was greeted as soon as I entered and seated immediately. I had a BLT with coleslaw and a Cosmo to drink. Everything was delicious and delivered promptly. This may be my new "go to" spot in the area for lunch. I'm definitely planning a return soon to try breakfast. It's such a cute place with a great vibe. read more

Great atmosphere and service. Friends recommended after they had great breakfast there a couple weeks ago. The breakfast special with strawberry cheesecake pancakes were delicious.
