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

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

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

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

WE LOVE THIS PLACE!!! we go to the Everett street dinner every time we come to Bryson! we have come 3 years in a row and this is our 1# must eat at place for breakfast!

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.

My family is here for vacation and this is the best lunch we've had yet. Soups were amazing the bacon and potato was my favorite. I ate the grilled chicken cordon blu fanatic Sammy! Hubby ate the grilled cheese with bacon and a Ruben he loved them both! Kids loved the burgers. Servers work together to give great service as well. Kid friendly atmosphere Definitely will come back if we are in town 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

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

Great local breakfast spot in downtown Bryson City. Fantastic atmosphere and service. The food is also wonderful.

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

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

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

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

Saturday morning, August 16, 2025. After a terrible experience at Anthony's Derailed the night before, I was relieved to be greeted by our wonderful waitress at Everett Street diner. Not only was she attentive, reassuring and kind, but, she was perceptive. She noticed that my husband had Diet Mountain Dew as his drink and asked him if he wanted sugar free syrup for his French toast. She also knew to ask if didn't want powdered sugar on his French toast since he appeared to be limiting his sugar intake. I really appreciated her kindness and attentiveness. Thank you, Everett Street Diner! read more

I won't ramble on...I will just say this is a legit breakfast experience in Bryson City. Occasionally, the line to get in is really long. So be mindful of this when you head to this establishment High notes - the staff was friendly And attentive. They were understaffed the day we went but the owner told us as soon as we arrived. The wait this day was only about 5 min. The food was plentiful and well prepared. I had the French toast - very good. The wife had the corned beef hash and eggs. Again tasty and nice portions. The menu has tons of options and the coffee is good. If you have the time before boarding the train, you should definitely check this place out. read more

I gave this Diner a second and third chance. Went there for lunch a couple of weeks ago and for breakfast this morning. I was by myself and was quickly seated at the bar in the back. The food was hot and fresh and came out fast. Glad to see my bad experience back in October was not an ongoing occurrence. We will continue to dine at this restaurant. read more

What a unique diner. We stumbled across this restaurant when we were looking for lunch. What made the whole experience amazing was the friendliness of everyone in the restaurant. From host to wait staff, everyone were very nice. There is definitely something for everyone on the menu. I would love to try their breakfast but breakfast time was over when we arrived. However I managed to order their coffee and I was so glad I did (I always love diner coffee). I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the area. If there is a wait, there are plenty of little shops near it while you wait! read more

Everett Street Diner - Coffee - Diners Near Me - Bryson City, North Carolina

Being from Miami, Florida, we found a great family spot for breakfast in Bryson City! A guy named Mike came out and was very communicative on the process. He took our names down and as soon as there was a table, he called us in. He is super friendly and goes out of his way to make the experience memorable for kids. The kids colored a picture and he hangs it up on his wall. He informed us that he posts on Facebook live and spends 3-5 seconds talking about each drawing. What a sweet and memorable touch. Food: Large menu selection and good prices. Our food was great. Excellent homemade food, which was hot and fresh and got it fairly quick. Ambiance: Great atmosphere for family. Service: Extremely friendly folks, very attentive When we are in Bryson City again, we will return to Everett Street Diner. Thank you, Mike and your incredible staff. read more

Such a great diner! Our table has a mix of orders. I can't say it any louder, but, THE BISCUITS AND GRAVY ARE AWESOME!! We ordered the chicken biscuit which come open faced with 2 chicken strips that were perfectly fried. The grits were creamy and buttery. The other orders at the table were the porkchop breakfast amd the country fries steak. The staff super friendly and engaging. Coffee cups amd tea glasses stayed full. We lucked out finding Everett St. Diner as we are are staying in Topton, NC which doesn't have anything to offer for dining. If we are ever back in NC we would certainly plan a meal here. read more

The food here was abundant. The do not skimp on servings sizes or taste. I ordered the steak and eggs but forgot to take a picture. The steak has a sweet taste to it, from the seasoning but was delicious for a morning steak. The husband said the biscuits and gravy were amazing and should have ordered just that. There was a long wait to be seated but we shopped around until our name was called. Once we were seated all the staff were helping each other out and no table went without refills or anything they needed. read more

Me and the wife decided to go to the mountains in NC to observe the autumn foliage! We discovered this diner on Google maps and wanted to give it a try. Be prepared for a queue because of how popular this restaurant is! We ended up being seated for lunch time and missed breakfast by minutes! The owner was so nice and hospitable! For lunch me and the wife decided to split the Rueben sandwich with fries and have the triple berry cobbler for dessert! The Rueben was phenomenal and the bread they used for the sandwich was incredible. The fries were nice and crunchy! Lastly, the triple threat cobbler was sensational! The gluten they used to bind the cobbler together was probably the best I have ever had! Also, the ice cream was a great way to enhance the experience of eating the cobbler. Lastly, the owner took the time to acknowledge our honeymoon to the whole restaurant and wanted to celebrate with us. He was so kind and genuine! We totally felt loved and welcomed! 10/10 would recommend this place! read more

I have only good to report regarding our visit to this popular diner in downtown Bryson City. It was midweek and we walked up at an off time between breakfast and lunch however, still met with a short waitlist. Our name was taken promptly along with some local sarcastic humor...dealing with hungry tourists i suppose. It was all in jest and we were seated fairly quickly. Our first option was the back counter so we waited for a table. It was a small table for two directly in front of the main entrance. We were hungry...so we sat and observed. The wait staff was running back and forth amongst all tables, many filled with families. I noticed the staff seemed good natured even with the crowd. We waited a little while for service and finally placed our drink and food order. The menu had lots of choices..i especially liked the option of 1/2 sandwich w soup or salad. We both had been talking about a Reuben sandwich and saw it on the menu. We placed our orders which could have been a mistake in this part of the country where Reuben's may not be very popular, but we were pleasantly surprised. (I think of it like ordering Italian food anywhere but an Italian restaurant) Our grilled Ruben's on marbled rye came out hot and melty with just enough tender corned beef, Swiss cheese and sauerkraut. My side salad had a great homemade raspberry dressing and the homemade thousand island dressing on our sandwich was really good. We had no complaints with the fries and our server was busy but sweet and helpful. Kudos to the owner and staff who made our touristy visit to their local diner a very pleasant experience. read more
