We spent our Honeymoon in Waynesville and stumbled upon this delightful fine dining establishment. WHAT A GEM!!! The soup of the day was a Coconut Shrimp Curry Bisque, which was to DIE FOR. My wife had the Massaman Shrimp Curry and I had the Scallops. Best meal of our trip! DO NOT MISS OUT! read more

Tasty catfish sandwich and Burial beer on tap. Outstanding lunch, need to try dinner but this place looks like it might be the restaurant to go to when in Waynesville read more

The place was very nice and service was excellent. My wife had the jerk chicken and loved it. I had the sliced sirloin strip and I would say it's OK, not great. We also had the cheese and meat board appetizer and it was good. Overall we would go there again but I would order something different. read more

What an absolute gem this restaurant is. Surely, as they hire more staff and expand their menu, they will only get better too (although I can't fathom how the food could improve). Every item on the menu looked delicious- I had the charcuterie board and the pork chop. Each component of every dish was thoughtfully executed, and the flavors were phenomenal. Our server was top notch- she knew the menu inside and our, and was very willing to answer questions and help guide our choices. I want to go back ASAP. read more

Singletree Heritage Kitchen - The Cheese Monger - New American Near Me - Waynesville, North Carolina

A beautiful restaurant with fabulous food and a good wine list. Fine dining so do not come dressed in shorts or blue jeans. The potato soup was out of this world good. Beautiful Arugula Salad with watermelon. Spectacular mountain trout. Excellent service and wonderful ambiance. Perfect venue for special occasions. Even has a bar. Super addition to Waynesville restaurant scene. We will return! read more

My husband had read about this new restaurant opening in The Mountaineer, so we were excited to try it when we would next be in town. Wow! No need to drive to Asheville anymore for fine dining as the chef-owner, Josh Weeks, hails from one of AVL's stalwarts, Corner Kitchen. We ended up eating here twice during a week's stay--once for lunch and then back for dinner. It was that good! For a restaurant that had just opened, there were none of the usual new restaurant difficulties one would expect. Both visits, we were able to be promptly seated. Don't expect that to be the case a month from now. Word is out. Service was prompt, sincere, and informative. With farm-to-table restaurants that have smaller menus, I sometimes have the problem of not seeing anything I'm dying to eat. The opposite was true here--I wanted to eat every entree. For lunch, I had the catfish sandwich, a perfectly crusted piece of fish accompanied by a delicious sauce. My husband had a roast beef sandwich that he greatly enjoyed. I washed my sandwich down with a tasty spicy margarita. When we returned for dinner, we had the cheeseboard, which I didn't really want (calories) but ended up devouring. For dinner, I had the steak, which was perfectly seared and accompanied by sweet potato puree and green beans. My husband had the shrimp and grit variation. read more

We stumbled into this place during their first ever service and were beyond impressed. It's so beautiful inside and the service was wonderful. Our food was some of the best we've had in the area, and it was only lunch time. The price was excellent as well, I'm thinking they must be keeping prices low as they start out. We even bought a gift certificate for our friends and they said they also really enjoyed it. It's great to have modern, quality food available and we love seeing the food scene grow. read more

We decided to give them a second try and it was amazing! The food and service were outstanding! We will be going back again soon.

Absolutely delicious food and excellent service. Ice tea perfect sweetness, fresh rolls were great, server checked on allergens, the trout and the steak were magnificent! Lovely! read more

Fantastic new restaurant in Waynesville! This town is so blessed to have such amazing dining options. Service was fantastic! Food is fresh and creative and just delicious. I had the tail fish and it was out of this world. My husband had the shrimp appetizer and a salad and loved both. We also shared the blue crab fritters as an app and they were filled with crab and crispy and delicious. Wine selection is nice. We were especially impressed with how well everything was running open only three weeks ago. Hoping they put some blinds or something on the windows for a better evening ambiance...but overall definitely deserving of a 5 star rating and we will be back!! read more

Waited a long time for two sandwhiches, a pork and a hamburger. Sweet potato salad was interesting, not bad, just not impressive. Fries were good. Not sure how this is no. 1 rated restaurant in Waynesville? Decor is nice as is the clean restroom. read more

We have been here for lunch and dinner from Greenville, SC. We have enjoyed both experiences so much. The food is delicious and the staff are outstanding. read more

Oh my! What a beautiful lunch at Singletree! The flavors were outstanding and the presentation was just beautiful. Started with the Cauliflower soup - to die for! The Brasstown Melt was so tender and tasty. The quinoa and black bean side was the perfect accompaniment. We couldn't pass up the chocolate and cherry desserts - and of course they were delectable. Nick, our server was so nice and helpful - ask for him when come in. I am certainly coming back and I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Quaint little upscale restaurant off of Waynesville's Main Street. Great food with a simple menu and great service. Our waitress was super. Had the Trout salad, Brisket Burger, Farmer's Daughter and Trout sandwich - all was great (french fries were delish)!! Highly recommend ! read more

With reservations, Singletree was able to accommodate our group of twelve during the holidays. Service was excellent. Prices were fair. The restaurant is fashionable but not stuffy. I would feel comfortable in any clean, non-distressed attire from jeans and a collared shirt to a suit. Our group ordered just about one of everything, and I heard nothing but compliments from the table. We had desserts, coffee, after- dinner cocktails. Everything one would expect from a nice restaurant. No one leapt from their chairs exclaiming that theirs was the best morsel they'd ever tasted, but other than that, I don't think there's anything I would change or wouldn't recommend. read more

Second time here and I'm giving them 5 stars. The food was excellent, brasstown steak sandwich and Caesar salad. Everything was fresh, the restaurant is 5* clean and a wonderful, courteous waiter. It will be my new go to for an excellent meal. Wonderful variety on the menu read more

I have been here many times to dine since they opened. I have found the quality of dishes to be extremely inconsistent; sometimes excellent. Sometimes mediocre, sometimes made with downright rancid ingredients or way overstalted and/or over peppered which renders food inedible. When I'm going to a restaurant that is very expensive like this, which I would normally consider to be casual fine dining....I have come to expect a much higher quality of food and consistency. Generally the quality is there -- but the consistency is not. read more

The food and service are great. I love the decor! Great wine list! You definitely need a reservation.

EVERYTHING prepared at this restaurant is first-class. The chef strives for excellence and attains it! ALL the soups are out of this world, as are all the entrees!! An outstanding place to visit! read more

My wife stopped in with our dog, we weren't sure if they had outside seating. A young lady came out to offer our dog a bowl of water and told us how to get to their patio. We tried the Salisbury sandwich and a catfish sandwich which were both excellent. They were freshly cooked and hot from cooking. read more

This is a great place with a fun atmosphere. The menu changes frequently, so no getting tired of the choices.

WONDERFUL food and experience! The Local Cheeses & Charcuterie Board was full of delicious and varied mouthfuls! The MOROCCAN STYLE VEGETABLE TAGINE was an explosion of flavor on the 1st bite until the end. Spicy and delicious! The PARISIAN GNOCCHI was more subtle but delicious - almost like a homestyle comfort food! Our server, Michelle, was outstanding. She was able to recommend wines for our anniversary celebration - and provided tasting after inquiring what we prefer. She was very attentive to our meal but not overbearing or interrupting it. Michelle was able to answer all our questions about the foods, the history of the Chef, etc. Bonus- dedicated parking area so you are not hunting for parking nearby read more

If you're kayaking, climbing, hiking, going to the theatre or just window shopping in Waynesville and you need a little respite and some wonderful food don't miss Singletree Heritage Kitchen. Located in the downtown area on Depot street, Singletree is Chef Josh's culinary oasis and you don't want to miss it. Inside and out it's spacious and lovely. There is parking, and as soon as you've stepped out of your car you feel everything else fall away. Once inside you are greeted by charming, friendly people. There is a bar if you need refreshment before being seated. The cuisine is excellent and on a fine dining level. Each dish we ordered you could tell was carefully prepared just for us. The salads were amazing and the crab fritters were the best I've ever had with three different sauces that lingered on the tongue. The pasta primavera was homemade and fresh as could be. The pan-seared branzino was absolutely superb with accompanying olive tapenade, an array of cucumber, red onion and tomato, and a mountain of delicious crispy-creamy fingerling potatoes. We chose to share the chocolate flourless torte for dessert and as chocolate lovers we were not disappointed. Our server was the best! Everything seemed gear to our enjoyment. Well done! A welcome addition to Waynesville. read more

I love this place. Have had lunch here 3 times already. Fresh Farm To Table menu. Savory soups, fresh salads and delicious sandwiches. Can't wait to try dinner! Wait staff are confident, friendly, happy!! That's a great sign of success! read more

We had dinner tonight at Singletree! It was fabulous! My husband had the trout and I had the heirloom tomato pasta; pasta made in house. Is was spectacular!! We net McRae at the Swag, she works there now and it could not have been better. We are from out of town, but will definitely be back!! read more

The food was amazing! It is great to see Waynesville finally getting some top restaurants with high-quality food. This was our favorite to date but Birchwood is a very close second. The menu changes and highlights the local food and season. Four of us in our dining party and everyone loved their food. Airplane chicken was moist and excellent, oregano gnocchi-light and tasty, and seafood bisque was light and not heavy. Excellent describes everything about this place: food, service, atmosphere. read more

We just stopped at this restaurant for lunch. Wonderful service and food. I had the chicken salad and my husband had the steak sandwich with fries. All perfectly seasoned and flavorful. The interior was elegant and matched the vibe of the restaurant. My only suggestion would be to add some shear curtains to the windows, because the view of a tattoo shop and car wash didn't do the food and service justice. read more

After reading the wonderful reviews online, I chose Singletree Heritage for my husband's surprise birthday dinner. That is one of the best decisions I've ever made! The dining room is lovely, our wait staff (Amanda) was perfect and the food was absolutely amazing! Everyone at our table raved over their dishes. All of them are from large cities and stated that their meals were some of the best they've eaten. Our small town has some really wonderful restaurants and Singletree Heritage has definitely brought something extra special to our area. We highly recommend this wonderful restaurant! read more

Decided to try this restaurant based on others' reviews. We were not disappointed with the quality and presentation of the food. Cream of Basil Zucchini soup is DELICIOUS. The restaurant is not offering desserts yet, but I am sure when they do they will be noteworthy. Very personable, helpful staff and WIFI password available to patrons. The one thing we did not enjoy are the dining room acoustics. Conversations when dining are very difficult due to lack of sound absorbing materials in room, but I recommend the food and nice decor. read more

Reviews looked great but unfortunately we were disappointed with our lunch experience today. Extremely slow service from seating to ordering to receiving our meal. Appears to be short staffed in every aspect. Fries were cold, sandwich was luke warm and the portions were incredibly small. No one checked in on us after the meal was served until we were finished. We would have communicated issues with the food but no one was available. Won't be recommending this establishment to friends or family. read more

I ordered the Thyme Chicken salad. It was a fairly, small portion for the price of $16. Didn't taste any dressing, but the food was fresh. Restaurant prices have really gone up. read more

Had a much needed perfect lunch today at Singletree. I had the Creekside trout and beet salad . The trout was pan seared, seasoned lightly . My hubby ordered the always good catfish sandwich . He shared a few bites with me ! It was delicious . Fried with a slightly sweet cornmeal coating. Thanks to the chef and our wonderful server , Jake! read more

Get the DUCK! It absolutely delicious. We still eat here several times a month . Looking forward to warm weather to enjoy the outdoor seating . read more

We have been twice, first on 7/26 and then on 8/9, and I'm sure we will go more times before we leave at the end of September. All the food is sophisticated, beautifully plated, and tastes wonderful. The restaurant is low key and all that work there are friendly and obliging. Our first server was Elna and the second Patti, both totally competent, efficient, and knowledgeable about the food and wine as well as friendly. Both nights were middle of the week and the place was full, so probably best to make a reservation...seems like Singletree has finally been discovered! They do take walk-ins but don't be disappointed if they can't fit you in. They also serve lunch, the menu for which looks great. read more

This was our 3rd visit and by far our favorite ...everything was great. cocktails, appetizer, salad, dessert and especially the short ribs. Our server Kennedy was excellent read more

One of the best meals in a long time. Everything thing was incredibly fresh. It's a place to sit and enjoy food well prepared.

My husband and I had the pleasure of dining for dinner at your restaurant on 8/9/22. Our cocktails were refreshing and yummy. Great wine list. The salad tasted fresh and crispy. The Crab cake fritters with the remoulade like dipping sauce were superb. I ordered the Sunburst trout entree and it was delicious. My husband ordered the heritage pork chop entree which was over cooked, dry and chewy. His meal was disappointing for the price. The hostess and dining room staff were friendly and attentive. The dining room was extremely loud so it made it difficult to converse with each other. While waiting for our food I noticed that the tables by the windows were full of sun. Maybe a half curtain on those windows would provide shade while still keeping the view of the mountains. We consider ourselves local foodies. We wish this new restaurant much success. read more

Innovative cuisine, great service. A real find. Didn't desserts yet, but when they do, they'll be delicious.

Very nice staff. Food was exceptional. I ate the New York Strip. I would order it again!

Comfortable, delicious food, amazing atmosphere and service. We drove an hour to eat at Singletree and definitely will again! This place is a must! The sauce with the steak and pork chops is to die for! And the blue crab fritters were melt in your mouth good. So innovative yet still down to earth comfort food. Our server was beyond wonderful, so super friendly and the restaurant itself was clean and crisp but like everything else very comfy! Highly recommend!!! read more
