Holy Taco! That's exactly how I felt after I had my visit here. Me and my wife decided to stop here…read morefor dinner just to see what this place offered. Believe it or not they can make one of the items vegan here which is pretty crazy. I highly recommend getting there taco dinner that they have here and actually skip out on there chips and guac since their taco dinner actually comes with chips and salsa. They use pretty cheap chips by the way. Food wise, the tacos were absolutely delicious and my sides came with a good portion of beans and rice as well besides my chips and salsa. They have a pretty good drink menu as well featuring a great deal of rotating drafts and it even has some hard cider as well for my taste. Staff here was absolutely friendly and social with us throughout our entire time here. The price is here on all the items are absolutely affordable. This place felt very comfortable as well though I do feel bad it gets as quiet as it does at times. Bathrooms here are a little beaten up as well but overall, I highly recommend checking this place out for their food, their drinks and the atmosphere.

The torta was delicious in a light roll and stuffed with chicken and picked jalapeños among other tasty ingredients.

Huge portions, great service in a simple, atmosphere. We'll go there on our next trip! Very different than the run-of-the-mill Mexican food restaurant, which is good, very, very good.

The vibe, the food, the service - all of it was perfection. Kudos to the chefs, I'm beyond impressed with the Appalachia flair in each dish but also THE FLAVORS and mixing other ethnic cuisine with the local goods. A true farm to table with a flair! DO NOT SKIP the hand pie, I don't care what it contains as it changes daily. Try everything and go hungry! I'm still thinking about that meal and trying to decide if it's crazy to drive all the way back to Johnson City from Nashville just to eat there again soon. Iris, you are a gem and thank you for taking care of us. I will be back!! Also, apologies I took hardly any photos. It was too difficult not to devour the dishes right away.

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.

While staying at Broadwing Farms, Smoky Mountain Diner was recommended to us. 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.

The food was fast, and let me tell you, INCREDIBLE! The jalapeño burger was downright delicious, if you know a good burger you WILL be pleased. As for the tenderloin biscuit, one of the best biscuits to ever touch my tastebuds and the tenderloin was perfection! Nothing was dry and everything tasted fresh, everything tasted beyond my expectations. The ambiance was so comfortable, I felt at home. As soon as I walked in I knew my lunch would be a great experience from the setting alone. I wish I could give it 6/5 stars, and this is coming from someone who does not typically leave reviews.
