This charming little restaurant gets 5 stars from us. Casual dining, adorable place, great food and really warm and inviting service. We went twice during a weekend stay and would have gone more but this place gets busy! You can tell the customers are repeat and if I lived nearby I'd be one of them! If you are looking for a delicious meal in a casual, friendly environment, this is the place! read more

Chicken noodle soup exceeded my expectations. Excellent! Shrimp and Grits continue to be outstanding. They've always been good, but even better today. Abundant amount of shrimp, sausage, and seasoned just right. Add grits and cheese and it's one bodacious meal. Server Laura is first rate and made the meal an even better experience. Music is usually a little too loud as it was today, but why try to talk when you're having such a wonderful meal in front of you! read more

For quite some time I've been meaning to try this place. Now I'm kicking myself for waiting so long. Our server was ?Andrea? I think. She was very sweet. She took great care of us. They have a lovely tea menu. I had the African nectar tea and it had such a lovely fragrance and flavor. I'll definitely be looking for it to stock up at home. The West Coast wrap definitely tasted like California, with a southern twist. The crispy fried chicken and the Chipotle lime mayo were a flavor explosion. I loved it. When I wasn't looking, my hubby finished it off and I was a little peeved. To be fair, he ordered the smoked gouda grits as a side and I ate half of those when he offered me a tatse. He said his burger was great too. The food here is great. Not aberage, not good. Great. We even took an order of shrimp and grits home. We will definitely be back, and I can say I highly, enthusiastically recommend! read more

The ambiance was busy, however the service was on point and we were quickly able to get a good table. We ordered an app consisting of 6 huge buffalo wings with home made blue cheese. The wings were super tasty and hit upon arrival. We then ordered our entrees consisting of a turkey club with fries and my brother had the Ruben with fries. Both entrees were huge and we only finished half of the portions which meant boxes for home. The server was super nice and everyone was attentive. Great atmosphere and food to boot! We will be back!!! read more

We were searching for good dinner and when we read that you can take a walk behind the restaurant on a nature trail, that's all us. Staff were very friendly and food came out quick. Food was on point and after we stuffed ourselves we walked to the nature trail and took in all of natures beauty! read more

Incredible food, HUGE portions! Some unique dishes that set them apart from average fern bar! Great service and reasonable prices!

Wasnt sure what to expect, had planned on going to Moby Dicks but their parking lot was full so chose this place instead. Bravo- the Salmon dip is an absolute must have, best I have ever tasted. Fish and Chips were great along with trout. Absolutely outstanding service, food arrived quick. Definitely a Diamond in the Rough. The atmosphere was perfect. read more

Tried this place out for lunch after seeing all of the positive reviews. We've been in the area for 10 years but never had been before and we're glad we did because we will definitely be back. The poutine was some of the best we've had outside of Canada and the philly cheese steak was phenomenal. Service was quick and friendly. Can't wait to come back and try some of the other menu options. read more

The restaurant has a bit of a noisy atmosphere and is usually very busy. Also check the hours before you come because they aren't open every day. The parking lot is also a tight fit. Once seated inside when you get ready to order, be aware the staff is very strict about not letting virtually any dish be customized or altered in any way. It's as if they take it as an insult - but a lot of people have dietary alterations that they prefer (or need) to make. They don't care. I got the pot roast (just as it comes, of course!) and it was a satisfying portion. There is a whole carrot and a whole stick of celery on the plate. The pot roast itself comes on top of mashed potatoes and has a side of green beans. read more

Excellent restaurant. This is not a big place, expect a half hour wait on a Saturday night. The food is great and the service is great as well. The front and back of the house are top shelf. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and will be back the next time I'm in town. read more

Friendly Staff, amazing Food!!! I don't think I've ever left disappointed! I usually like trying their Weekly Specials, but lately I've been enjoying their Cobb Salad with their Firecracker Chicken! read more

Stopped in for lunch today. Wait staff is exceptional! Best unsweetened iced tea and so happy they offered one to go. I tried the Reuben sandwich with fries. It was a huge sandwich. You can tell the corned beef is from scratch. I wanted to like it but it was too heavy on the clove for my liking. But that's on me - not them. If you're not like me I would recommend trying it!! Fries were ok. I will go back and try a different dish because the service and food quality is top notch! Don't sleep on this gem read more

Laura was a fabulous waitress who was super fun and friendly. I wasn't sure what to order but she said the burger of the month was super good. She wasn't wrong. It was a pimento cheeseburger. The burger was perfectly cooked to a medium well. It was moist and had excellent flavor. The fries are super crispy and the perfect size. I had the sweata weatha sangria to drink and it was fabulous. It was packed with fruit and the apple cider gave it a nice undertone. The poutine fries were great. While the restaurant is technically "lakeside" it's on a main road so the lake view also comes with a view of the nearby gas station. The interior is quaint and comfy. read more

Absolutely love this place! Due to Hendersonville moved out here a couple months with my husband and baby. Saw his recommended on the Henderson Facebook page. Told it was a local favorite and oh my goodness it did not disappoint! I went here with my husband during the week for lunch and got the pot roast and it was so good that I got it to go as well instead of dessert to have for lunch the next day and then we ended up going back on Saturday with our baby. It was yet again incredible. The staff is so incredibly nice. We ended up meeting part of the kitchen staff. They were so nice to our son and everyone is just kind and nice and friendly. The place is clean. Will definitely be back again in the very near future.! read more

We finally got around to visiting Lyncoya Cafe, and our first visit will definitely not be our last! There is often a long wait for a table (this happened the first time I stopped by with a group of friends), so when my husband decided we should go we got there shortly after opening and we were seated pretty quickly. The menu has lots of burgers, sandwiches, and salads, but we opted to try the poutine, meatloaf, and shrimp & grits. The poutine has fries covered in beef gravy, cheese curds, and fried onions, and it was a delicious appetizer. My husband had the meatloaf. It sat on a bed of mashed potatoes, covered in gravy, and topped with a pile of fried (yes, fried!) green beans. I took a couple of bites, and it was some of the best meatloaf I have tasted. My shrimp & grits was also quite good. The shrimp and andouille sausage were plentiful. The Gouda grits had good flavor and were covered with cheese. Also, service was friendly, which is always important. They took great care of us and kept our water glasses filled. There are many more items we are looking forward to trying on the menu, so I am hope to visit again soon. read more

10/10 love this place. Cobb salad. The poutine is LIFECHANGING. Anyone and everyone I recommend to come here. It's such a great local place and the food is always exceptional and full of flavor. We love supporting small business and this place is at the top of our family's list read more

This gives you an upscale diner feeling. The service was pretty good considering how busy it was. The food was tasty. My wife had the catfish poorly and thought I'd was good. read more

Love love love this place and have been coming for years. Watched them struggle through many challenges and still come out on top. That said, how da frack can you run out of brownies for the Royal at 12:30 on a Tuesday?? Staff are clearly overwhelmed and at wits end as well. Please do something to reel it back in. We love this place. read more

The food is typically good, as is the service. I probably would have given 5 stars were it not for the bad taste left in my mouth after I got my bill and saw that I was charged for the little extra salad dressing I asked for. I've never experienced that miserly practice in any restaurant before, and the server didn't tell me there would be a charge for requesting additional dressing. It wasn't the money, but rather the pettiness that turned me off. read more

My wife and I finally made it here after relocating to Hendersonville from East Nashville. We always noticed the busy parking lot and figured it was a must try. We were not disappointed! We came in on a busy weekend, and were sat immediately. They have a nice drink menu, and we immediately put in an order. The portions are MASSIVE. My favorite is the short rib gravy fries. My cheese steak was great. Really though the inside was cool, especially after finding out the history of the clock in the restaurant. It was nice being able to see the tail end of Drakes Creek from inside in some areas. We will be back! read more

The Poutine w short rib gravy is killer. This is an absolute must order item. It's drowning in that amazing gravy and bits of cheese curds, soooo good. Fried Green Beans are seasoned well and the Philly was delicious and flavorful. The only thing we didn't like was the Chicken Tortilla Soup, it was really bland but thankfully we were full from everything else to care much. Overall, food here is incredible. We kept hearing wonderful things about this place and now we know why! read more

I've been to Lyncoya many times but just now got around to writing this review. Just left the restaurant for a family lunch. They were fairly busy and stated to us a 15 minute wait but it was only around 5 minutes. Our server was attentive and prompt and very courteous. The restaurant was clean as always and I was pleased to see people cleaning tables properly and disinfecting them in between guests. The food was great and I think was even better than other times I've been. Ordered the Cobb salad with Firecracker chicken. It was huge and very flavorful. Other meals in our group were the Pot roast and the House burger, which is ridiculously large with 2 massive 8 oz patties. Also the West Coast Wrap which was delicious. If you're looking for a fresh, well-cooked meal, this is your place! Enjoy! read more
