First I'd like to say, we are local full-time residents of Bryson City. Not that this should make any difference but to some it may. Everett Street Diner is our most favorite place for breakfast - hands down. Hubby and I have tried many items, none have disappointed. Fresh, hot, correctly cooked, presentation, service, hospitality, coffee, atmosphere, and prices - all are spot on fabulous. The owner - Mr Everett Street Diner ALWAYS greets everyone with a smile and friendly conversation. Family oriented, he welcomes you in, sits you down and makes you feel like you're in his kitchen. If (more like when) you wait for your table, it's never long. The staff bust their butts and don't make you feel rushed at all. This morning we/the restaurant celebrated, as an entire group, the expected January arrival of a little girl, and three birthdays!!! And yes, we ALL sang happy birthday. Well, except for Mr Everett, apparently he doesn't sing and will tell ya so!! Seriously though, if you're looking for a good meal, friendly service, and a place you can't wait to come back to ..... try Everett Street Diner!! Oh, and if you're looking for a little heat and spice? You've GOTTA try their spicy diner relish!!! We're on our 4th jar and have gifted 3 jars out to friends, family and a great barkeeper in San Antonio (but that's a different story)! Love you all at Everett Street Diner!!! read more

If you're looking for a good country breakfast with friendly people, this is the place. Definitely arrive early before 8am, otherwise you'll be waiting for a table. Everything was very tasty. Husband thought his gravy could've been a little hotter. Other than that, no complaints. read more

May be the best diner, to which I've ever been. The fried steak and eggs was easily the best that I've ever had. The gravy was fresh made and not full of cheap salty sausage. The country Benedict featured the best southern biscuit, at a restaurant, that's not mine, that I've ever had. Service was excellent! You're greeted warmly outside and that sets the tone well. The ambiance is very diner homey. This is an experience! Destination stop in Bryson City! read more

This place is awesome! Best Grilled Chicken Salad I have ever had. I asked the owner how the chicken tastes like that. He said they use a seasoned grill, so all those different tastes from everything cooked on the grill are mixed in. That taste really popped! And the vegetables were super fresh. I even enjoyed the bacon bits (not like me). I preferred the Thousand Island dressing over the Italian dressing for this meal. I didn't eat the egg (I only eat scrambled eggs). The second trip was more of a breakfast meal and also very strong. Super-fresh fruit, eggs cooked very well done as requested, good bacon, and quality toast. I would give the first meal a 10 and the second meal a 9.4. Both incredibly high. The staff is very friendly, the prices are fair, and they will accommodate anything you want that isn't on the menu as long as they have it. Highly Recommended! read more

The absolute best country "mountain" fried steak breakfast I have ever had! Smothered in the most awesome white gravy but still crunchy!! My over easy eggs were delicious as well. Eat here! Not only do you feel welcomed, the food is delicious and won't break your budget! 100% recommend read more

Lovely diner with delicious food, friendly staff and a homey vibe. We stopped in a little after 11 on a Saturday, and had a short wait for lunch. After being seated, the staff came over and let us know the kitchen was switching to lunch, which we planned to get. I opted for the Light Lunch, with a half BLT and cup of chicken noodle soup. My partner ordered the Ruben with sweet potato fries. They are definitely worth the small up charge! We ended with a slice of homemade carrot cake which was large and delicious. We ended up bringing half of it home. read more

This place was absolutely incredible! I decided to have breakfast here my first morning in Bryson City and I was not disappointed. Wait time wasn't bad at all for a Saturday morning. Service was absolutely impeccable-- I've never been treated so well at a restaurant before! I decided to order the breakfast burrito while my partner got the Mountain Man and both were absolutely delicious. The salsa was perfect for the burrito and the pancakes were so soft and buttery. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town. read more

The service was excellent and the Diner Club sandwich rates 5 stars by itself. The toasted sourdough bread made the sandwich.

What an outstanding experience! I hadn't been to the diner in 15+ years but recently re-purchased my prior home in Bryson City and we decided to go for lunch. Mike is a new owner (to me) and he has created such a wonderful environment with outstanding service and even better food! We ordered the burger and a reuben and both were amazing. Next time I will be trying one of the desserts. You cannot go wrong at Everett Street Diner! read more

A Bryson City staple. Always busy. Efficient. And with personality. Coffee was acceptable. Biscuits and gravy was sour. Ordered bacon and got sausage but they brought the bacon quickly. Worth a visit but not a return. read more

This place has always been great for breakfast, but while we were in town visiting, we decided to try it for lunch on my birthday. I ordered a burger with fries and paid extra for bacon. Unfortunately, it was the worst small burger I've ever had. The fries tasted like they were a couple of days old and had dried out, and the bacon was cold and hard. I was very disappointed. Their breakfast is great, but based on this experience, I can't recommend the lunch menu. read more

Comfort food! The waffle was delicious! Eggs were flavorful. Bacon was crispy! Service was great. We had a server for our table, but everyone checked on us. I'm assuming the owner/ manager came by, inquired about our plans for the day and mapped out places to check out. Restaurant was clean and friendly! read more

Cutest little place on the happening little street downtown. Very nice gentleman greeting everyone and the servers seemed to all be so friendly. Large portions of food and pricing was reasonable. Exactly what we were looking for. read more

My experience seems to be apart from the norm, but I just wasn't wowed by Everett Street Diner. The staff are perfectly nice, which I sincerely appreciate. The scrambled eggs were fine and cooked perfectly , and kudos to them for not doing the "scrambled eggs should be 1/2 runny" thing. But dang, those sausage patties are literally the worst tasting sausages of my life. And I hate to say that since I read that they're locally sourced. But the smell and flavor was WEIRD. Almost a wet dog food aroma, and the flavor was almost like the meat was completely unseasoned. Also very lean for sausage. The muffin I ordered was really dry, to the point where I'm really glad I had a beverage next to me. I'm glad people love this place, but I'm just not digging it. read more

This is our second time eating at the Everett street diner and it didn't disappoint! We missed the breakfast hour but they served a light menu which was perfect. My husband had steak and eggs and I had bacon and eggs. The portions were very generous and everything tasted great. What stands out most is the service from the owner who greets everyone and talks to each table to the servers and other staff- super attentive to every detail. We'll definitely be back when we come back to the area! read more

Yesterday we were looking for Breakfast Restaurants in Bryson City and came across Everett's Street Diner. Mind you, it was in-between Breakfast and Lunch transition, the owner was very upfront an honest about it and would try to get us in due to the wait, but was unsure. After a few minutes he was able to get us in for breakfast. Super nice owner, very friendly staff with awesome service, and the food was good as well. The bonus, their were 3 people with Birthdays the owner recognized and asked everyone to sing Happy Birthday. Great small town vibe in Bryson City at the Everett Street Diner!! read more

Ate there about 20 years ago and it was great. Went back again it is was just as good.

Kudos! Finally a restaurant that offers a "Kids, SENIOR and Lite" menu option! And the choices are good and reasonable. Thank you!

The food was very good, well seasoned, good flavors, and decent prices. Service was tag team and covered all of the bases very thoroughly, and with a smile. Very quaint country decor. You will probably wait to get a table because the food and service are so good. We'll worth a bit if waiting. read more

Starting off, we came on a Bachelor's trip, and the gentleman working (I assume he's the owner) kindly announced his wedding to the guests, asked my buddy a few questions, and shared some laughs with the whole restaurant! It was a very small thing that went a long way for making the seemingly simple breakfast stop a memorable one. Now, the food... amazing. Look at the picture of the Mountain Man plate I've attached to this review. Go ahead, look... Bask in its beauty. Entrance yourself in the magnitude of food. You can guarantee a plate will be eaten clean if it's put in front of me and A.) I'm hungry, and B.) it's breakfast food. But jeez, Everrett Street proved me wrong, all while keeping it around $15. I might have to drive all the way back to NC so I can prove to myself that I can conquer a breakfast plate here. read more

Kid friendly atmosphere Definitely will come back if we are in town read more

We ate here the last visit and looked forward to another good breakfast. And that is exactly what we got! We ate breakfast there every morning.

Both the service and food were amazing. My wife and I split one of the combo breakfasts and it was almost more than enough food for two.

BEST VEGGIE BURGER I'VE EVER HAD...and trust me, I've had a lot. Attentive service and friendly atmosphere. Everything you could ask for in a local diner! :) read more

Can't go wrong here. Fantastic breakfast and engaging service. Great local spot, highly recommended.

Everything's outstanding, but ... as an old Georgia boy who's had a whole bunch of killer Southern breakfasts in his life, take it from me when I tell you that the star of this show is the gravy. There's a reason it's all over the menu: it's literally the best country gravy I've ever had. Get a plate that includes biscuits and gravy, and enjoy the outstanding service, too. What a terrific place! read more

We got there on a Saturday morning (2/13) right before lunch. It was chilly outside and a line awaiting tables (approximately 7-8 groups /couples. A gentleman took our name and gave us approx wait of 20 minutes. They had a standup heater to help take off the chill. He kept checking on us, giving us wait update & calling next customers. Wait was about 25 min. Once we got inside, a server was immediately there taking drink orders then the waitress taking menu order. The food service was fast, correct, hot and delicious! I wouldn't hesitate to return to Everett's. Awesome! read more
