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.

Great food and service! Many thanks for the true American cuisine and atmosphere there.read more

We had a great version of shakshuka, this one containing not just (poached) eggs, tomatoes and zug sauce, but also roasted sweet potatoes. While the taste was great overall, the sweet potatoes are what really made this dish outstanding. We also had the lion's mane mushroom sandwich with fries. The lion's mane mushroom had a nice outside coating. The weird consistency of the mushrooms was more noticeable in this dish though than in the dinner entree we had here before, where the lion's mane was used in a gnocchi pasta. But the taste was still quite good. The fries here are always good, whether their basic ones or the Japanese-style seasoned Totoro fries. Service as usual was excellent -- friendly and efficient.

I got a side of veggies (carrots) and ranch. The ranch was packed with flavor! My husband got the smash burger and fries both days and said it was one of the best he's had. The next day I got the spicy chicken sandwich and fries and they were also delicious! Definitely cannot wait to go back! The service is amazing. You order at the outside counter and they bring the food to you. The staff were very friendly. The decor is super eclectic! We ate outside both visits and it was very cute on the patio. The women's bathroom inside was very interestingly decorated, but also very tasteful.

Made reservations a week in advance since it is popular & we were coming on a Saturday night. had to call to do this but the staff were quick with the booking. We were staying on the north side of Asheville a few minutes from downtown & this was a quick 12 drive to Weaverille. Place was packed when we arrived 10 mins early for our seating. We waited maybe 3 mins though & were in our booth.The vibe here is something else. Decor is eclectic but layout mimics the vintage diner that it resembles from the outside. Very casual but doesnt necessarily feel that way. Menu isnt extensive so you dont have to fret about too many choices which i personally like. We started off with the seasonal watermelon salad which my wife says is one of her favorite things shes had anywhere in recent memory. I had a side portion of the steak wedge salad. For mains i had the carolina shrimp & grits & my wife got the pot pie. Both were insanely rich & satisfying. Good portions & quality ingredients represented. Even though at this point we were stuffed we had to go for dessert & tried the omg peanut butter pie & the tiramisu. not surprisingly, both were excellent. Apparently they have a dedicated pastry chef who makes the desserts every morning. Service was really good here and my sister in law's friend who was working the bar came over and raved about being employed there which is good to hear. Cant find anything negative to say about this place & you'd be hard pressed to find anybody doing so online really either. Just a local joint serving good food in a fun environment. Highly recommend

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.

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.
