Everything was amazing and the hospitality was great! The food was delicious and I will definitely be coming back again to try out new dishes! read more

This is a great little diner. The staff are friendly, attentive, and efficient. We ordered a burger, chicken tender sandwich, fries, & corn nuggets. Our meals were tasty and fresh. Pricing is reasonable and portion sizes are generous. Pioneer reminds me of old time diners in a good way. read more

This is a typical old school restaurant/diner. They hand cut their own french fries and they make their meals from scratch. The portions are huge and the blackberry cobbler taste like it came from grandma. Don't dare leave without trying a cobbler or cake! The weight staff are all family and they're very sweet and kind And helpful. This place looks exactly like it did back into 50s. Charming and old school. If you're in Clyde/Waynesville area you have to make this a stop. read more

Easy to find with a good amount of off street parking. I didn't notice specific handicapped spaces but the lot is paved and easy to walk. The entry door faces the parking lot. We were greeted on entry and told to sit anywhere. Seating is a mix of booths and stools at the counter. It was about half full when we were there after the breakfast rush. Menus are on the table. Our waitress took the drink order right away. She dropped off the drinks quickly and said she would come back for our food order. We had our food in less than five minutes! The Working man's breakfast had two eggs cooked as ordered, two pieces of sausage, grits, and a biscuit. I added gravy for $0.99. The biscuit and gravy are made in house and the sausage seemed like it came from a local supplier. Everything was excellent. I did add pepper to the gravy but that is a personal preference. My dining partner's Western omelet was packed full of ham and veggies. The hash browns were cooked to perfection and the biscuit held up to jelly very well. This is a definite stop if you are ever in Clyde and we plan to return to try their lunch menu. read more

This is an old school restaurant. The service is friendly and on top of things. They make everyone feel like you've been going to the restaurant forever. The food is unpretentious and the quality and portions are very fair for the prices. read more

Great place to get good home cooking. We live in Murphy but every time we visit Clyde we stop in to eat. Great customer service , good prices and great food. read more

This is the craziest, weirdest greasy spoon that ever opened..sometimes open, sometimes not ( and I am referring to general business hours)..some days I drove by at 730 no one is there, other days people are parking on the side of the street..you have to have ESP and a little luck to get a biscuit there ..guess the food is ok but WTF read more

Sever wasn't real knowledgeable or forthcoming when describing menu items. The food was pretty good, but I would have a different choice if the sinage/info wasn't ambiguous. read more

Old school country cooking at it's very best. Waitresses always remember you and always make sure you have everything you need. Haven't tried dinner but I'm sure it's great as well. read more

A classic locals breakfast place, in business for a long time. Good food and excellent service. It reminds me of places I remember from the 70's. There aren't many left. read more

Very local, family run joint. Couldn't be friendlier. Pancakes are huge and incredible. Decent coffee. read more

Sherrill's Pioneer Restaurant - a pancake on a plate - American Near Me - Clyde, North Carolina

Great memories here. I grew up going with my Papaw and the place has not changed one bit aside from the fact that it isn't filed with cigarette smoke any longer. 4 stars instead of 5 because the hours are erratic lately and my last visit they were not taking COVID protocols as serious as I would like. read more

This place gets three stars for being a stereotypical greasy spoon and our server was kind and attentive. I stopped here with a couple friends I was visiting nearby. We got our drinks and food fairly quickly and overall you get a lot of food for the money. I had a typical breakfast-two eggs, toast, fried potatoes and eggs. Again you get a lot of good for your money but I wish the food would've had a bit more flavor. My eggs were cooked to perfection and my toast was delicious. The potatoes were a bit burnt and a little bland. Overall this is a pretty good place and as always, check it out for yourself! read more

Your breakfast will come before you finish your first cup of coffee. Love their meals and friendly staff. Never disappoints.

Really good steak sandwich with homemade French fries that were excellent (hand cut). The best part was the staff... Super friendly and made us all feel at home. Will definitely return! read more

If you like homestyle cooking - this is the place to go! The waitresses are very friendly, or we're the last time we were there. My only complaint, which isn't a complaint but more of an observation and personal preference, the hamburgers are unseasoned and could use something to boost the flavor - even if it's just some salt and pepper? Too bad they started closing at 3. I know they're missing out on a lot of business. read more

If you're looking for biscuits that are massive and wallpaper glue gravy this is the place for you!! The biscuits were sooo good. Too bad the gravy was such thick and bland yuck! The food is incredibly cheap. Thats good! You get a lot for your money but it's just ok. Nothing special. If they worked on their recipes I'd come back. Until then ill avoid this place read more

This simple little place surprised me with their food. My wife and I each got a chicken salad, one grilled and one fried. They came with two thick pieces of bacon and one sliced hard boiled egg. It was awesome. We will be back to try more items from their menu. Lots of locals, like us, come here. read more

Best diner in the area by far! Ate there several times a week through school and still frequent there for the food and company! Small town friendly service! Try the Pattymelt! It's really delicious! read more

Awesome local joint! The food was great! The service was fantastic! Visiting out of town but felt like a local! Try it out

Good local food. The services was great, very attentive and nice. Small place and limited menu options but will definitely come back again.

Old time diner. Casual. The waitress was very prompt in taking /bringing our orders. I had the beef stew with mixed greens and mashed potatoes. I added hot vinegar to turnip greens. Then for dessert, had blackberry cobbler. Delicious. read more

While the service was wonderful, the food was not. The biscuits were flat and dry and the gravy. The Gravy was just over cooked flour and water. Almost no sausage and tasted like it was yesterdays gravy. read more

Just had lunch here. Two hot dogs and fries. All was delicious. Unbelievable service and friendliness. Remember when you used to go in a restaurant and staff seemed like they were really glad to see you? And they treated you like they were working hard for your business and really wanted you to come back? Well, this is that kind of a restaurant! Outstanding on all accounts. Sweetest ladies in the world!!! You won't be disappointed here. read more

WOW jJust Wow the flavor, the portions, the service, and speed of your order is outstanding! The lunch special was so big and so tasty, I'm not going to have dinner tonight, I am just going to ride the high of a fine home cooked meal. I have no idea why this place is 4.5 stars that is a mistake. I first stoped into a 5.0 Star rated Restaurant in the same town, but noted all the vehicles parked at the Pioneer and, boy am I glad I decided to stop in to this place. If this restaurant was with in 40 Miles of my home I would eat at it often! read more

The epitome of an old time breakfast place. With the fixed barstools at the counter to the menu boards above the kitchen counter, this is the real deal. I ordered a short stack and coffee. Coffee was hot and good. Refilled by 3 different servers walking around with coffee. Food was out in less than 5 minutes. Spectacular service by very experienced servers. Small place that gets busy. They turn tables fast so you dont wait long. read more

Great lunch stop. Small place with a few tables and counter seats. We sat at the counter. I had grill cheese with corn nuggets. Corn nuggets are bites of fresh corn kernels deep fried into bites. Very good. Hubby had the special, stew beef (not beef stew, just the meat with no gravy). Very yummy along with his coleslaw and corn nuggets. The coleslaw was delicious, fine cut cabbage. Definitely worth the little trip off the freeway. read more

Such great food and even better service!!!! Chef salad is awesome! Love love love it!!!

Absolutely amazing food and very nice people! Basic menu items ( diner) and a daily special- all are great!

Great place for family atmosphere and good food. My wife and I eat there often on occasion there is a mix up but they are good about fixing the problem. read more

They cut their own fries fresh and fry them to perfection. As tempting as breakfast sounded, I couldn't turn down the lure of fresh french fries. And this place did not disappoint. There were not a lot of offerings for vegetarians, which is to be expected, but they had a grilled cheese that worked for me - but again, this visit was really about the fries. My dining companion opted for a burger which she gleefully reported to be well cooked and delicious. Again, those fries came along and we were in fried food heaven. Coincidentally, we landed there on Halloween and the staff were dressed up for the occasion in a variety of costumes. The restaurant was decked out in Halloween decorations and made for a fun, festive environment. This was amplified when staff gathered round and wished a coworker a happy birthday - cake and all. The staff was on point. Food came out quickly and accurately. Waitresses routinely stopped by to refill drinks and see if we needed anything else. The whole team worked to make sure that everyone was happy and well-fed. Note: They charge a fee for using a debit or credit card. The max they can charge for credit card use (and NOT debit cards) is 4%, though management here instituted a flat fee for all cards which may be problematic. read more

Down home cooking. Small portion options. We placed a pick up order and and it was ready in a snap!! read more

Great food and generous portions for a reasonable price. The pancakes were everything I could have hoped for. This is a great place for a diner or home-cooking style meal. If you're on the way through, drive past the fast food options and stop here for your meal pit stop instead. Tables comfortable seat four. You could probably add a fifth at the end of the table, but it's not an ideal solution. read more

Wonderful Family owned since 1954 great food! Friendly service with a smile always. Lots to eat also. read more

Best homemade french fries ever!! I will totally stop in here any time we are passing through. Also, the gentleman behind us got a piece of chocolate cream pie that looked to die for. This is a tiny little restaurant with about 10 or so booths and seating at the counter. They had daily specials with their phone ringing constantly and people coming in and out so it sounded like the specials were the hot ticket. The place was HOPPING! The wait staff were sweet as could be, just like the tea!! read more

This restaurant is as good as its reviews. As noted, the inside is a little small with about 10 booths and counter space for dining. Upon request, our waitress made several recommendations. We got the bacon cheeseburger, chili dog, and hand-cut french fries. Our food arrived quickly, and was very fresh and hot. All three items were delicious and the portions were big. It was a VERY good value, combined with a friendly atmosphere, and great service. We'll come back soon to try some of their traditional southern dinners. I'm sure they will be great. read more
