Nature trail behind the restaurant. Walk off the calories!

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!

Black bean burger

I am not going to stop raving about Lyncoya Cafe. I haven't found a bad dish yet. Lunch or dinner, if I am in the area, I am turning into their lot for a fantastic meal. The selections do change with the seasons, but anything is worth it.

Fish sandwich, Gouda cheese grits

The cutest little place, with delicious food! I highly recommend trying. The staff was very welcoming, and service was great.

Poutine

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.

Pot roast
Joe W.

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.

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!

Wow!! Not processed meat but a ribeye Philly cheese steak... I think it's made better here!

I had the most amazing time at Lyncoya this afternoon! They have the most amazing service from their general Manager Amanda truly sets a precedence of welcoming kindness, she made sure to check in on me and her other patrons to ensure we were enjoying our meal and service ( I miss this!!) to our host Kayla and everyone involved this afternoon hugs all around for amazing food and exceptional service. I met wonderful patrons and I know I'll be there at least a few times a week!! Please keep up the great work! And the loving God fearing Christian's there are like a special treat!! Reminds you of what life is about.

Poutine

I've been here 3 times and every time there service has been spectacular! Drinks come out fast and my glass was never empty! Food is always hot and fresh! Big portions for the price! There is normally a wait, but I always go at prime time. Friday and Saturday 7-8pm. They do close at 9pm. And the wait hasn't been longer than 20 mins. This is definitely a Gem in Hendersonville!

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

Special today! Salmon, mashed potatoes, and asparagus!
Dana L.

Great service and awesome hot food! We had the special today, salmon, mashed potatoes and asparagus! Yummy!

Sweata weatha sangria
Holly W.

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.

Pot roast
Hillary R.

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.!

Not yet they are waiting on their liquor license. It is in the process. Just beer for now.

Tutti Da Gio was a recommended pizza stop, so we went for dinner…read more It's an order at the counter place and find a table. We should have chosen a larger table because the small one was very crowded if you each get a pizza. We started with the Caprese (Tomatoes & Mozzarella) immaculate mozzarella cheese and slices of fresh tomatoes drizzled in balsamic glaze. We requested more balsamic glaze because it was light. The fresh mozzarella was fantastic with the tomato and acidic balsamic glaze flavor that works so well. Just a great light perfect start and so fresh. Next the Diavola Pizza (Pepperoni) Fresh Mozzarella & Pepperoni over the immaculate tomato sauce. The wood fire crust is so good and just a nice pepperoni pizza. Fantastic Flavor. The Margherita Pizza (Cheese & Basil) Magnificent Pizza Bread Fermented for no less than 24 hours topped with simple tomato sauce covered with Mozzarella and Basil. Ours was more like a cheese pizza as there was hardly any basil. I like a lot of basil like in Italy and being an Italian Pizza I was hoping it would be very similar to Italy. This was more a cheese pizza. The pizza with the wood fired crust was still really good and I would just request more basil if you like a lot like me. Excellent Wood Fired Pizza and would definitely try the others in the menu. The service was good and would definitely return.

Absolutely the smoothest, fresh made hummus I've had in TN & the pitas tasted fresh too. Chicken swarma wrap was a great lunch bite. The menu wasn't available on their QR code/website, nor did they have any physical menu's to provide full scope and explanation of options which is a huge detriment to someone walking in first time. Because the food isn't Taziki's or other Gyro places that you encounter on a "Mediterranean" search here, they really need to address that. Staff is nice but alittle passive, & it is hard to know what options to ask them without any point of reference other than the few popular items listed on a board by name only. I even checked here, which doesn't have their full line up either. But - if you are adventurous, definitely give this a go! Small but not tight in seating; clean and cute cafe set up.

I've been here twice, and it's in a convenient spot with plenty of free parking nearby. Most recently, my husband and I stopped by for an early breakfast, and we had a quick and tasty meal! When I do dine at a First Watch, I usually aim to try something new since they have such a large menu. Their seasonal menu actually rotates every 6 weeks or so, and there's always something fun and fresh to try from their special selections. This time, I stuck to the healthier side of the menu, and went with the Tri-Athlete egg white omelette. This was light and very veggie-forward, which is just what I wanted for such an early meal. My husband ordered the Farmhouse Hash, which is a must-try for anyone who loves breakfast potatoes. Their multigrain toast is full of flavor, and one of my favorite things to dip in eggs or jam (or both!) I also love the AM Superfoods Bowl, although we didn't order that this time around. Our server was fast and friendly, and made sure we had plenty of coffee on hand throughout our meal. We'd definitely return to this location the next time we're in the area!!
