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

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

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

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

Time for dinner at the Main Street Diner, tonight we had a cup of Chili and the chicken strips with fries and slaw. The restaurant wasn't too crowded and was quiet. Our waiter was very friendly and we were able to order almost as we arrived. The food was hot, fresh and delicious. 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

Mattie was the BEST!!! We are regulars and will continue to be!!! You can look for us every Monday

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

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

Great place. Our waiter Jack was fantastic! The Philly Cheesysteak was fantastic. Great atmosphere and history too.

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

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

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

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

Not the same place as it used to be, no one to greet at the door, slow service , food was lukewarm, saw a manager walk by with head down and tried to get her attention, lots of places to eat around here 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

We are local and love to eat at MSD. A real treat is going after church on Sunday which we did today. From the minute you step inside, the staff are friendly and give you a smile. Our server, Jack is "da' BOMB!!" He went above and beyond to provide us with excellent service and checked on us with precise accuracy. We will 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

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

We had a great breakfast, eggs were perfect over medium, no runny whites, the hash browns were crispy and good bacon. Service was excellent! Will be going back soon! 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. Service was great too! Also found out we can bring our dog to eat on outside deck, which we will do in the future. Really cute hometown place! read more

Awesome food , had the Rueben. Wife had the Philly and mashed potatoes. Awesome!!!! Definitely going again! Service was good too

We had the breakfast eggs. bacon. and waffles with blueberries. It was more than enough! Service was excellent, management was attentive and welcoming. Overall we were very pleased with everything. read more

good breakfast but service was slow. my husband and I both ordered omelets . I received one slice of small toast which was not adequate to go with a three egg omelet and a side of grits. lots of wait staff but poor service considering there were not many patrons Sunday afternoon at 2pm read more

I ordered a ribeye steak which cost thirty dollars. The steak was cooked perfectly. Unfortunately, the steak was a very thin cut and was very fatty. Needless to say, I was disappointed and will not order another steak from this establishment. My partner had the chicken wrap which was well prepared and delicious. We love the restored building and the wait staff was attentive to all our needs. read more

Arrived within 45 minutes of closing time but still received excellent service and our dinners were very good. The location is renovated but still charming. Breakfast is available all day and they also offer beer or wine. We will definitely be going again. We are hoping local folks will support these local businesses! read more

Ah, how Main Street in Waynesville has changed. Ate Dinner here last night. Our server was great. Food was good. The atmosphere was a little dry; but who cares. I'm a fan of the 209 Cafe. Yes I know, same owners. The difference between the two is the atmosphere. The 209 is a more comfortable atmosphere and the Main Street Diner is trying to be more. Similar menus. My opinion is to stick to the basics and do what you do at the 209. Create that same feeling of getting a home cooked meal with great customer service. Overall good food and service, but not the same feeling as the 209! read more

Food was good. The server was nice, but kept forgetting to fill our drinks. The soda was flat. The light over the booth was too low. It hurt my eyes. I'll have to get a table next time. I like the look of the place. The exposed brick walls and wood floors are beautiful. read more

The food is delicious! They serve breakfast all day and it's great! The service is good as well. Nice atmosphere just love it all around!!!

Cute diner atmosphere. Very loud though. Lights in the booth are hung too low. Serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. We came for dinner. Got the Reuben no kraut with brussel sprouts in the side (for an upcharge). The Reuben was good. I loved the brussel sprouts but probably could give you more than 6 for a 1.99 upcharge. . My husband got that French dip with onion rings on the side (for an up charge). The onion rings are homemade and he liked them. The French dip meat was smoked which was a bit odd and the bread was good. The food came fast. Deanna was our server and she was excellent. Attentive, friendly and helpful. I wish they served breakfast all the time. Will be back and try something new! read more

The food took 45 minutes to get it out to the table and wasn't even worth what was paid for it. The waiter never refilled our drinks and we ran out before we even got our food. The ham that was ordered was thin sliced lunch meat that looked like it came out of the lunch meat section at Walmart. People behind us got their food and were almost out the door before our food was even delivered to the table and when it was it was slammed aggressively causing sauce that was never ordered to spill all over the remaining food. read more

The food was incredible but even more incredible was the service! Adam was such a good server, answered all our questions, even knew what was in the food because he had cooked as well. Great all around place! Don't miss it! read more
