Don't let the outside fool you--this little spot is definitely worth the stop. We ordered two breakfast sandwiches to go, and they were delicious. The staff were friendly, and the prices were great. We'll definitely be back! read more

Highly recommend stopping in for breakfast either to dine in or take to go! Parking was easy and the seating is ample inside, with everyone being friendly and helpful with ordering. I wanted a quick chicken biscuit to go and found myself in heaven with the very simple breaded chicken patty with mayo between a homemade flaky biscuit. It was the perfect pick me up I needed to make the drive home from visiting the mountains. I will definitely be back to explore the menu next time I'm in town! read more

Wow! How cool is having a great breakfast in a drugstore? Coffee's was awesome. Not five stars because my eggs were over easy instead of medium like I ordered and one of my refills came with a hair but still great. read more

Awesome to find this nostalgic drug store cafe! I had the most delicious grilled pimento cheese sandwich. The pimento cheese is homemade. Hamburger, BLT, Fries, and onion rings were tasty. To top it all off they had flavored fountain drinks! Soda with cherry it was. The outstanding friendly service made our day! We will be back soon. read more

Not sure about all these rave reviews. Maybe it's geared to locals only but I felt out of place and felt a bad vibe. While the service was fine, the food was very mediocre. My Mom ordered the potato soup which she did not eat as it tasted like water. I had a salad and can't remember the last time I had an iceberg lettuce salad. Very disappointing. I may not be a local but I am a taxpaying land owner in the area. read more

Sweet Louise's Cafe - Lemon for my iced tea. Need I say more? - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - West Jefferson, North Carolina

This may be one of the best places to feel at home and have a meal that feels like moms. First, you won't stumble on this place. It is inside of a small rural pharmacy and that adds to the charm. I drove by 4-5 times and never noticed it. I'm so glad I found it online. I came in for breakfast and stayed 2 1/2 hours surrounded by some of the nicest and most remarkable locals. The service, food, conversation and charm were all 5 stars. The food is home cooked with love. I couldn't decide. Omelet, meatloaf, tater tots, grilled cheese, BLT, coconut cream pie and so much more Make sure you stop here. Most likely you will come back again. read more

Sweet Louise's Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - West Jefferson, North Carolina

Back in time to the 50's. This small diner in the back of a pharmacy has been open since the 1950's and is literally unchanged. the green seats and lighting are all vintage. Cute place with friendly staff. We ordered the pancakes they were big and fluffy. Also ordered eggs with toast and sausage. Basic nothing special hash brown was just a warmed up frozen Patty. I would have enjoyed a more "southern" meal of good ol Fashion Home fries and such. Still looking. read more

A quaint diner with good basic lunch food. The service was friendly and attentive. Not a lot of fresh food

Great food and service. We had breakfast this visit and the food was delicious. Conveniently located in West Jefferson.

Stopped in for breakfast. It is an extension of a drug store. The atmosphere is very nostalgic and bright. I had an omelet and blueberry pancake. Very tasty! The employees were very nice as well. read more

I tried this spot out twice over the weekend, once for lunch and again at breakfast the next day. Smiling faces, friendly folks, and very tasty food! Burger and dogs were spot on, and the homemade chili was exceptional! French toast with powder sugar was a hit with my son. My wife had the sawmill gravy and biscuits, and I built my own sandwich with crispy liver mush, LTM, cheese, and a country scrambled egg...all of which were very good. Prices were very reasonable and we'll definitely be back!!! Almost forgot, in addition to the great place for grub...get your meds refilled at Peoples pharmacy while you're there and shop the local crafts and goodies located in their decor barn. It's like Cracker Barrel but better in every way! read more

Great food, great services , best hot dogs!! Give it a try !! You want regret it , there a Ashe county tradition

Delicious country cooking. BEST hotdogs. They are always packed it seems, so a bit difficult to eat in the restaurant at times. Love this place and the people that work there! read more

What an incredible place! So grateful to have found this cute cafe. Prices are amazing and service is great. Also has that hometown feel. Cant wait to come back!!! read more

Wow what can I say, this place is a true gem and a flash back to times long gone. Ordered the double cheeseburger and it was amazing! So large that I couldn't eat it all so order with that in mind. Tater tots as a side were good, nothing over the top. Someone beside me at the counter ordered what looked to be a potato cake which looked excellent. I'll order one of those as a side next time! read more

Delicious food. Pleasant employees. Hate that it closes so early (1400) We go there every time we visit West Jefferson read more

Great breakfast. Clean, real plates and utensils. Friendly neighborhood spot located in a drugstore. The drugstore can be closed and the restaurant be open (breakfast). Walk into the dark drugstore and make a right to get to the cafe. Booths and counter seats. Waitstaff take your order quickly. I'll return as often as I can. read more

I almost missed this place. The gps took me to a drug store and the signs for the cafe were so small and pastel colored it took me a minute to realize I was at the right place! Food was great. Service was hometown great! read more

It's diner comfort food, and we've never had a bad meal here. The burgers are good; the desserts great, and the servers and cooks are always helpful and friendly. We liked the egg salad and grilled cheese, too. How fun to get tater tots! read more

Great little local spot in the drug store. The food was good and good service. We would definitely recommend for a quick bite

Such a cute little cafe in the middle of west Jefferson. Located inside of Peoples Drug but definitely a gem you don't want to miss out on. My son and I love to eat lunch here and we are never disappointed. Great burgers, fries, pintos, salads, etc. never had anything I didn't like. read more

Very unique local café in a drug store. Pure Americana! Good food at reasonable prices. Very friendly and attentive staff. If you are looking for a slick, franchise restaurant, this isn't for you. But if you're open to a truly unique dining experience, we highly recommend this small café in the mountains. read more

Perfect diner hidden away in a drug store. Nothing fancy but so good! Friendly staff, great regulars to talk to, highly recommend the BLT!

Tucked away in the peoples drug store is a quaint diner, with a small local home town feel where we had breakfast after harvesting this years Christmas tree. The whole family enjoyed their food and the the waitress shared memories of her childhood. I personally consumed a two pancake, two eggs (scrambled) meal that I found delightful. Come on over as long as you're not wearing Duke merch LOL. Haved a blessed holiday season! read more

My husband and I never go out for lunch together due to our other activities but, we won a gift certificate at a golf tournament and finally got to today...loved it, reminded me of an old time diner...quick and efficient service..great food , friendly employees...a hidden gem in Ashe county ! read more

Saw reviews and it made us want to check it out. So glad we did. Small diner inside a drug store. Cute, clean, and neat. A Sweet friendly server. Smallish menu on the board on the wall, but plenty enough choices to please everyone. My husband and I had grilled chicken breast. It was seasoned just right! A friend with us had the fried flounder strips and enjoyed those. A regular customer and I were both eyeing the last piece of butterscotch pie, she asked for it first and the kind kind lady halved it with me. Part of the pharmacy is booths for individuals to sell goods. There were many nice things available. If we're ever in the area again, we'll go back. read more

Ok so the food was food and just fine. Its a breakfast place with no frills. However the employees and owners are amazing. They treat you like you live in the town. Everyone smiles and has a tremendous attitude. I was so impressed with that more than anything. I was ready to leave and they asked me if I wanted a water to go. Like who does that???? THEY DO. read more
