Welcoming, kind, and personable staff made sure we felt at home from the second we walked through the door. They're open 7am-2pm, so we were totally stoked to find a full menu served all day. I craved pancakes, and these hit the spot! Interesting cheesy hash brown bites with Sriracha aioli punctuated this carb-centered indulgence. Companion had a huge omelette with some great sides, including a legitimately sized hot coffee. (Context: we've been so tired of wimpy-sized cups of coffee, and Wynn's came through like caffeine champs.) You know you're in for a great, greasy, don't-tell-your-doctor meal when the condiments have hand-written labels on them. Thanks for excellent service, Josh. We will be back!

We arrived around 8;30 or so on a Saturday morning and found a booth right away. Within minutes our…read moreserver arrived and took our drink order. Coffee and water was brought quickly and our order was taken. I ordered pancakes, sausage, hash browns, and a biscuit. My wife ordered a kitchen sink type omelette minus the mushrooms. Service was fast and spot on with our order. The pancakes were hot and fluffy. Matter of fact, everything was hot and fresh and arrived in less than 7 minutes. Okay, so, this is not a knock or me saying the food wasn't good. It was average. To me, everything was pretty bland. First bite of hash browns I took, I tasted butter but by the end, just greasy. Again, that isn't a knock. I love breakfast diners like this for that reason. But, there really was very little flavor in any of my food. Pancakes were fluffy but nothing outstanding. Biscuit was good but again, nothing special. Sausage had the most flavor of anything I ate. My wife loved her omelette and commented on how packed it was with the ingredients. The service was very good and overall I enjoyed the food. Would I go back if I was going through Asheville again? Probably not. It was fine but nothing more than that.

Our small group of friends chose to celebrate a Valentine's dinner. It is a limited menu but you will find something that will make you want more. Several entree's serving portions are presented large enough to share in a family style. A variety of influences from different cultures and many options of protein are from farms in North Carolina. It didn't take long for me to choose the burger with a side of Pecorino fries. After eating the focaccia bread, I wasn't able to save room for dessert but all the reasons to return. A lovely spot for a cute date night, a great spot for a cocktail to start a relaxing evening or just need a a break and enjoy amazing food.

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.

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.

Upon walking in I saw two full size car booths & a jukebox. The vibe was exactly what I was looking for. I'm happy to say we got HUNNY as our server & she was the best & she cheered me right up. She was wearing a bright yellow dress & singing along with the jukebox. We talked doo-wop songs & I got recommendations for what to order. I decided on Country Fried Chicken with Mashed Potatos & it did not disappoint. The shakes are also really good & come with a waffle on top. We ended up going back the next day (HUNNY was off) but we still had a nice time. Tried the chicken & waffles & biscuits & gravy this time. There really wasn't anything bad that we tried & if you're lucky, you might get HUNNY & have a 5 Star Experience like we did. Would I return for a third time? YES!
