We arrived around 8;30 or so on a Saturday morning and found a booth right away. Within minutes our…read moreserver arrived and took our drink order. Coffee and water was brought quickly and our order was taken. I ordered pancakes, sausage, hash browns, and a biscuit. My wife ordered a kitchen sink type omelette minus the mushrooms. Service was fast and spot on with our order. The pancakes were hot and fluffy. Matter of fact, everything was hot and fresh and arrived in less than 7 minutes. Okay, so, this is not a knock or me saying the food wasn't good. It was average. To me, everything was pretty bland. First bite of hash browns I took, I tasted butter but by the end, just greasy. Again, that isn't a knock. I love breakfast diners like this for that reason. But, there really was very little flavor in any of my food. Pancakes were fluffy but nothing outstanding. Biscuit was good but again, nothing special. Sausage had the most flavor of anything I ate. My wife loved her omelette and commented on how packed it was with the ingredients. The service was very good and overall I enjoyed the food. Would I go back if I was going through Asheville again? Probably not. It was fine but nothing more than that.

Went back to Regina's on a Sunday for brunch. The place was packed, but the wait wasn't too long…read more(reservations are recommended though). We had a great version of shakshuka, this one containing not just (poached) eggs, tomatoes and zug sauce, but also roasted sweet potatoes. While the taste was great overall, the sweet potatoes are what really made this dish outstanding. We also had the lion's mane mushroom sandwich with fries. The lion's mane mushroom had a nice outside coating. The weird consistency of the mushrooms was more noticeable in this dish though than in the dinner entree we had here before, where the lion's mane was used in a gnocchi pasta. But the taste was still quite good. The fries here are always good, whether their basic ones or the Japanese-style seasoned Totoro fries. Service as usual was excellent -- friendly and efficient. Great brunch spot on the westside!

As locals, we're always looking for places that serve consistently good food, and Haywood 209 Cafe…read morenever disappoints. This time I ordered the jambalaya with yellow rice, and it was excellent. It was loaded with chicken, smoked sausage, peppers, tomatoes, and just the right amount of seasoning. The rice was cooked perfectly, the biscuit was soft and fresh, and everything tasted homemade. The sweet tea was exactly what you'd expect from a great Southern restaurant, and the service was friendly from the moment we walked in. Haywood 209 Cafe has become one of our favorite places in Haywood County because the food is always fresh, the portions are generous, and the staff makes you feel like family. If you're looking for great Southern comfort food in Waynesville, this place is absolutely worth a visit. We'll definitely be back for the jambalaya again.

We decided while we were there we'd eat as well since the menu looked good. The food was amazing! I got the spicy burger with the jalapeño and cream cheese and it was so tasty! I got a side of veggies (carrots) and ranch. The ranch was packed with flavor! My husband got the smash burger and fries both days and said it was one of the best he's had. The next day I got the spicy chicken sandwich and fries and they were also delicious! Definitely cannot wait to go back! The service is amazing. You order at the outside counter and they bring the food to you. The staff were very friendly. The decor is super eclectic! We ate outside both visits and it was very cute on the patio. The women's bathroom inside was very interestingly decorated, but also very tasteful.

You can put your name on the waitlist before you arrive. Small restaurant with rustic style/decor. The menu is one double-sided sheet but offers a lot of variety; steak, burgers, seafood, chicken, veg options. Wish I was going to be around to go back and try more. My wife and I both had the mahi-mahi. She had the grilled and I had the blackened (the blackened seasoning was a little heavy on the salt in my opinion, but still good). Good selection of sides! Servings were appropriate for the very reasonable prices. Our server was friendly and attentive.

I was in Hot Springs for a couple of days on section hike of the Appalachian Trail. I stopped in to…read moreeat 3 different meals there over the course of three days. Day 1: Lunch. Another hiker and I decided to stop in as we got to town and have a late lunch. It had been a couple of days since we'd had town food and we were tired and hungry. The first thing I noticed was the wait to be seated. We waited about 20 minutes, and once we got to the dining area, there were several empty tables. Once we're seated and ordered, the food came out timely and was delicious. I had a cheeseburger and the cherry cobbler with ice cream. Day 2: Breakfast. Since the food was good, we decided to go back for breakfast again the next day. Again, there was a wait to be seated. We were a group of 5 so we expected there might be a wait. The waitress was friendly and our orders were placed quickly. it did take a while for the food to come out from the kitchen. I had a country breakfast plate with ham. Again the food was delicious. Day 3: Supper. We had a relatively short wait to be seated this time. We were seated and asked for some water. It took over 20 minutes to get the water. Finally a different waitress came out and took our order. I ordered the hungry hiker challenge. It is a cheeseburger with three 8-ounce burger patties on it. The menu says if you finish you get some free cobbler. While we were waiting for our food we noticed that a local who came in and sat down after we were seated had already been served and was done eating before our food arrived. I finished the burger, and some of the other patron's noticed and congratulated me. When the waitress arrived she asked if we needed anything else. I asked if the free cobbler came with ice cream on it. She said no, so I ordered ice cream to go with my cobbler. It was a peach that day. Again, the food was delicious. The main thing that I notice about the restaurant was that despite having great food, service was pretty slow. One of the hikers I ate with noticed that the waitresses seemed to have to seat the customers, take the orders, deliver the food, clean the tables, and handle the check-out at the end of the meals. It seems like the service would have been much quicker if they had someone handling the seating, check-out's, and possibly bussing and cleaning tables. The worst part of the experience was the long waits to be seated and for the food to come out. The food itself was great and I found the servers and other customers to be friendly. The furnishings were clean with a 1960's diner feel. Overall, I would hesitate to go back if I were in a hurry of any kind. If time is no object, the food is great.

Service was excellent, my order was taken quick and my meal delivered even quicker. The cakes here are sweet, delicious and bigger than your face. I added Strawberries sans whipped cream and a side of bacon for some fatty protein. This is prolly the largest diner I have ever been to. Seating is plentiful, the decor is cute and not too disruptive, and the breakfast bar has a telly. There is even a pink Caddy that serves as a table for that unique dining experience. I didn't have time to stop and shop but The Sunlight does have a gift shop tucked in the corner. I will definitely come back when I next visit. The hospitality of the staff here is off the charts!

We went around 4pm, which was already busy but we got seated right away. The food seemed to be pretty normal for a diner, so I didn't expect anything that would wow my tastebuds. We were too full when we left, we didn't even get a dessert, which I would have liked to get a classic banana split. Em was our waiter, he was great! My only complaint- my husband ordered onion rings, which I think he was looking forward to trying but he got fries, Em took the up-charge off.
