French toast - Good
Sowmya V.

Good spot for a quick breakfast at Cherokee, NC. French toast was freshly made and tasted good & the waffle was okay too. It looked like an unassuming place from the outside but was bustling with people inside. Counter style seating, order the food and they bring it to you. Prices were high as it's a tourist spot (Cherokee is a tourist trap beware) close to Smoky Mountains.

Thought we leave the casino road to get some breakfast out of the crowds. Disappointed the food was so so at best. Cappuccino so sweet hardly drinkable. Order the iron skillet breakfast for 12.99 and an omelette and pancakes. The skillet and omelet did not come with any toast or biscuit. I asked for no peppers on everything and she said it was it was an onion pepper mixture so I ordered the skillet without onion and peppers and left the omelet as is thinking I would pick them out but oh there were sooo many. I couldnt even finish have of it. The skillet only came with 1 egg. Everything is lack flustered and over priced. Don't waste your time foodies!

Pancake and a sausage patty
Samantha G.

Ambiance: Diner style Food: Plenty of pancakes (at least 3-4 in the stack), but 1 sausage patty. Wish they'd give 2 sausage patties instead and less pancakes IMO. The food was good, the pancakes were fluffy, the sausage was seasoned, nothing to rave about. Service: Friendly, counter order. Someone will bring your food out. You leave your dirty dishes at the table once you're done eating.

Biscuit  and gravy
Will C.

I was on a trip with my girlfriend and on our way out i stop at this place to get some breakfast, this is small town so i didn't know what to expect but i will say food was good, is not the best place i have ever been but definitely a good place, i have never had biscuits with gravy so this was my first time trying them and they were pretty good, i had some eggs, sausage, potatoes and grits which i don't like, overall the meal was good a big portion, my girlfriend doesn't eat breakfast but she ate the grits and some of the biscuit and she liked, coffee was hot and good. Service was fast and the atmosphere very peaceful. As always this is my personal opinion.

Soda choices

My favorite breakfast place i found on multiple vacations to cherokee. Extremely reasonably priced with friendly staff and seems to be where a lot of locals go. They open early and have a drive through so you can get to the hiking trails faster! I had the sausage, egg, and cheese croissant and my dad had the biscuits and gravy and everything was delicious.

This little place is attached to a gas station so it's very unassuming. Our family of 8 tried a LOT of things. The staff is friendly and helpful with the menu. The double cheeseburger was thick, and juicy, the footlong hotdog was the best I've had in a long time! The bologna croissant is delicious! We would eat here a lot if we were local!

Croissant
Denise D.

I just love gas station restaurants! Mabel's was no exception! Greeted with a friendly "How yall doing today?" And all of our menu questions answered! Hearty portions, cooked as requested, and a follow up to make sure we enjoyed it all! Nice & clean with a gas station store next door. Give Mabel's a try!

Big kahuna burrito
Bridget C.

Food was delicious! We had the big kahuna burrito. Seasoned perfectly! Took a minute to get our food but it was worth the wait! Busy place!

Betty Lou's Kitchen Sink
Chris L.

I saw this place on Yelp. It was just a stone's throw away and it had good reviews, so why not? They did not disappoint. I was, however, visibly shocked at the sheer size of this Kitchen Sink. It lives up to its name! I had to take some of it back with me (along with some extra gravy.) The staff was friendly, as well. I would definitely recommend this place, if you're in the area.

Betty Lou's Kitchen Sink
Leo L.

Food was delicious. Definitely better and quicker than some of the other breakfast places we've eaten in town. 10/10 would come again. Don't let the location fool you, customer service was great and food was excellent. We had a party of 12 and no complaints. Posted below is Betty Lou's kitchen sink. It's delicious.

Betty Lou's Kitchen Sink...YUMMY!!!

This place is awesome! Best Grilled Chicken Salad I have ever had…read more 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!

Lovely diner with delicious food, friendly staff and a homey vibe…read more 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.

Absolutely phenomenal…read more No wonder they were rated one of the top restaurants in the southeast, and that's not just for breakfast places. This place does everything right! If anyone reading this wants to open a restaurant, I would highly recommend studying this place. Let's get to the good stuff. I was told I would have a 30-minute wait, and that's just for one--I always travel solo on a poker trip. Well ... almost any trip. Anyway, I explored the grounds and I found a large lawn, a creek, a bridge over that creek, a fake mill (I think it was fake), and three little birds (they were not at my doorstep). After this pleasant exploration that brought great peace and even the idea of moving to Maggie Valley to be closer to poker (and a pancake house), I was called in. The super friendly lady that checked me in told me it would be worth the wait. She was not wrong. So, check this out. Two big pancakes, perfectly cooked dry scrambled eggs as I ordered them, and the best bacon I have ever tasted was a total of around $15 before tax. That's a pretty good deal, especially for one of the best breakfast experiences of your life. My waitress was also superb. I won't mention a name because now that I stopped writing books and this is my writing outlet, some have jumped over and each Google review is getting 10k-100k views (not talking about photos, actual reviews). And then people speculate. I'm going to avoid all that drama. I might have made one mistake with my meal, but it depends how you view it. I went with the super healthy syrup. It's not called Super Healthy Syrup, but that's how I viewed it. I'm a gym rat and I don't eat heavy at all but I sure don't like boring. The pancakes themselves were excellent but I chose the wrong syrup. Now I know to go with the chemically-enhanced version. It's the rebel in me. Gotta do it. Last thing: atmosphere is amazing. Everything is spotless and perfectly spaced. Just so you know, you pay at the front. Extremely Highly Recommended! To have Joey's Pancake House and Frankie's Italian Trattoria right down the street from each other is something.

Check in was orderly. You walked up into a holding area where someone took your party number and…read moreput you in queue. Weather was nice so we had the choice to sit outside or in the holding area. We were sat fairly quickly. Helpful tip : if you order house specials and decide to upgrade to fancy pancakes, you can have two different pancakes! Their syrup is brought to the table nice and warm! I got the house special with sausage. Went with the poppyseed pancake and the seasonal (whixh apparently was strawberry). I had my eggs scrambled. Pancakes were great! They were light and fluffy, and the lemon poppyseed was excellent. The scrambled eggs were nicely done. I really enjoyed the pancake! Daughter got the 3 pancake set from the kids menu. Same wonderful pancakes. Husband got a bacon and cheese omlet. The egg of omlet was great, they were generous with bacon. He did not care for the cheese they used... and did not like the "butter" they put on his toast (wish I knew to ask for on the side?) Service was very good! Would recommend for sure

Our server was friendly & attentive without over doing it. The Ambience was top tier. The restrooms had been remodeled from single Men's Room / Women's Restroom to 3 Unisex single Restrooms located behind a privacy wall which had been added. The outside dining area which had been on a porch had been enclosed & remodeled to an interior decor with heat added. We can't say enough good things about this restaurant. They have done everything right.

There were about four or five parties in front of us when we arrived but we didn't have to wait too long. The hostess was great, immediately grabbing us drinks when she seated us. Diet Cokes were perfectly carbonated. Waitress showed up shortly after and we put our orders in. Husband and I both ordered the Mexican omelette and home fries. Daughter ordered short stack pancakes with egg whites and a side of cheese grits. We were all really hungry after a hike so food would have tasted good even if it wasn't. However, home fries were perfectly cooked and generous portion size. Pancakes were huge. Omelet wasn't super flavorful but still good. Service was excellent. Waitress was very attentive to refilling drinks and food came out quickly. Decor was a quirky mix of beach and mountains.

I got the coconut refresher, not too sweet and still had caffeine. They have topo Chico, my favorite sparkling water, so they got bonus points for that. They have a pastry window(?) that had a decadent looking, huge, slice of blueberry coffee cake and a cheesecake I would have tried if I was in the mood for sweets. I saw a couple enjoying it and letting the staff know the coffee was delicious. The tables are spacious, there were only around 6 people when I went and the atmosphere made it easy to ignore the other people and write this. But other "strangers" began conversations so it is still inviting. The music is acoustical versions of modern songs. I saw a staff cleaning the counters around the place while I ate so they definitely keep it clean. The gentleman who took my order was friendly and not overbearing. Overall perfect place to sit and read on my break from a gloomy day. Only note would be that I wanted my food for here and they made it to go.

Coffee? Delicious! Biscuit breakfast sandwich? Delicious!…read moreBuuuut what really made me love this place was the friendliness of the people working.

The meat and three along with the vegetable only options are welcomed changes to the family style only meal for those desiring smaller portions. In our experience, the food was served hot and was perfectly prepared. We chose white meat chicken and received two large breast that were excellent! The two catfish fillets and four slices of meat loaf were delicious. The vegetables were Lima beans, cabbage casserole, creamed corn, potatoes au gratin, slaw and a spring salad. All were served fresh with two biscuits and two corn muffins. The relish, apple butter and Sogrum-sage butter were delightful. We were blessed to have April for our server, and highly recommend her for your visit. She shared the history of the area and is proud of the changes and history of the Dillard House. Thank you for a great meal. The fried chicken is better than I remembered. Yes, the restaurant is open, and parts of the motel are being remodeled/updated and the new hotel is under construction. Don't let the remodeling deter you from the eating at the restaurant or enjoying your favorite drink from the bar.

Poor service, poor food quality. Not impressed at all…read more Ambience is nice, very spacious, newly built, restaurant. Friendly staff. Not very attentive at all. Say for 15 minutes before the manager had to obtain a server for our table. After the food was delivered, the server did not provide adequate service. I requested a water refill, which took an additional 15 minutes, because she continually forgot. Food quality wasn't the greatest. They served chicken, which consisted of 2 thighs and 2 drumsticks. Along with friend catfish filets, that had been way over salted. Both were very soggy. I ate half the thigh and quit. Veggies? Only vegetables were Lima beans, everything else considered vegetables, was a casserole. A table full of starches. Over rated and over priced. Sadly disappointed. If you want good southern food, go further south to Thomasville, GA. Go to O'Neals. You can fool some folks, but not someone that knows southern cooking. We won't return.
