Had the lunch special, fried fish & fries with some hush puppies, and choice of peach or blackberry cobbler. Hands down the best fried fish I have EVER HAD. Crispy and packed with flavor. Fingerling hush puppies were just like mamaws! Also ordered a BLT with was delicious. Plenty of bacon , freshly sliced tomatoes, crunchy lettuce ... My mouth is watering again, hours after eating as I write this. Very clean. Plenty of parking. Plenty of seating inside or out on the back deck. A small gift shop and miscellaneous items for sale, t shirts, ball caps, cup, souvenir items. Even had a few automotive items, motor oil, trans fluid etc... It is out of the way. LOL. TAKE A DRIVE. This is East Tennessee at its best. I will be going again for the fall colors, and a truly amazing meal. Air B&B cabins on the river are available too.

Great local eatery with a warm, welcoming staff & delicious food!…read more We tried their burger & onion rings, as well as the Club sandwich and tater tots. Food: My fiance enjoyed his burger and loved the onion rings. I got the club sandwich which came on warm Texas toast with heaping piles of ham & turkey, and fresh crispy bacon. I liked that they put some sort of creamy Italian dressing vs mayo on it - was a unique twist! The tater tots were PHENOMENAL - they must have been deep fried because they were super crispy and hot. The burger & onion rings meal was very affordable (~$8-9). The club sandwich & tots was a bit pricey for what it was (closer to $12) but was a packed sandwich so I can't complain. Service: Service was stellar - our waitress checked on us several times and we had everything we needed the entire meal! Including a never ending cup of coffee. Location: The place is smaller with less than 10 tables but still spacious enough where you don't feel cramped. During COVID wait-staff wore masks (& wore them properly over the nose) so I felt very comfortable eating here. It's a bit hard to find --- GPS will try to take you down to the funeral home. Keep an eye out for the railroad tracks and look for a corner restaurant near there - that's where you'll find Charly's!

Just had breakfast here for the first time this morning. I had the biscuit and gravy with bacon,…read morescrambled eggs and added a side of cheddar rounds. My husband had the pancakes. The pancakes were just ok.... They made the batter as we ordered it so it didn't have time to absorb the flour so it wasn't all that good. He said he would try a burrito next time. I loved my biscuits and gravy. The gravy was a darker color but the sausage was so flavorful and it was light in pepper which I like because I don't like pepper. The biscuit was a really great size and fluffy. The bacon is not thick cut but still Crispy and good, eggs were cooked nicely. Now on to the cheddar rounds..... I try these all over but these are the absolute closest you will get to the Pals version. They were lacking the season salt which would have made them taste like Pals. Over all I was very happy and will definitely be back!!! Also the prices were good (pic of menu (included)

The serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner depending on the day. It's a little disconcerting when you pull up to my the entrance and slightly more as you step in the dining room. But the place, though worn, is spotlessly clean. The food that they prepare is all scratch made to order. So don't be impatient it's well worth the wait. My wife had corn dogs and fries. The corn dogs had a wonderful crunchy cornmeal crust that reminded me of my childhood (I'm pushing 70). I had the patty melt that had a very tasty yet unknown cheese that was so melty that I loved the sandwich. This place is a little out of the way but if you are anywhere near Johnson City it's worth the effort.

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.

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.

There wasn't live entertainment, just karaoke, which is offered in many places downtown for no cover. It was also not posted which, from my experience in Atlanta, they always post that there is a cover outside. Just feels scummy. It's a very average bar that offers literally nothing special. There is no great view, the service is the same as any bar, it doesn't even have a nice decor; there is no reason to be charging an entrance fee. Enjoyed the visit but will not return.
