We were in North Carolina recently, and met friends at this restaurant. It's important to note that the menu changes, and you're not likely to get the exact, same meal twice, but you can bet it's going to be good. This is not a vegan/vegetarian restaurant, but there are items on the menu for those who choose such dietary options. When we were there, there was a Risotto made with Faro that was very rich, and very tasty. There weren't many other options for us, so I am glad that this one was so good. The restaurant, itself, is very comfortable, the service is excellent, and both the wine list, and the beer list are long. I like that they had several "local" beer offerings, and the porter I had was perfect; as good as any I've had anywhere. Our waitress explained that it's because of the local water, filtered by the mountains. I believe it. I agree with all of the five star ratings, but I, myself, couldn't got five because of the predominantly "meat-oriented" menu. I do understand that any restaurant needs to appeal to its customer base, and I get the idea the veganism/vegetarianism isn't real big here in the mountains. I only say that so people with dietary restrictions will know ahead of time, but I do recommend this restaurant for anyone visiting the area. read more

I don't after give a 5* but for Waynesville this is top notch. We sat outside with our pups. Nice view, excellent service. I had the crab cake appetizer with succotash. Delicious and I'm from Maryland! Great twist on the succotash. Better than my homemade. Husband had the Reuben with house chips. He said the best he ever had. read more

Excellent Wine List! We had a nice Tempranillo from Rioja at a decent price! They always have a vegetarian option that they can Veganise. During our visit it was the cauliflower steak which was excellent. Such a nice combination of greens and veggies with a spectacular taste! The non Vegans at the table had what they described as an excellent steak and tasty shrimp. The menu changes almost monthly so there is always something fresh and new to try. It's very popular so make a reservation. We will be back for sure! read more

I had a phenomenal experience at Singletree. I ordered the tomato soup to start, which was the best soup I've had at a restaurant to date. For my main, I had the NY strip with puréed sweet potatoes and shallot-tossed green beans. It was a perfect medium rare, and all the flavors of the different components worked well together. The service was great -- we never had to wait for refills or new silverware, and our server was very friendly. The space is small, but luckily not too loud or cramped. read more

Oh my goodness -- hats off to Josh Weeks!!! Single Tree Restaurant absolutely WOWED us again!! The Caesar salad is to die for! Even when splitting it, they graciously bring out two separate Parmesan cheese bowls -- and trust me, you'll eat every single bite! For my entrée, I ordered the fish of the evening -- Atlantic swordfish -- and it was honestly one of the BEST I've ever had! Perfectly cooked, succulent, juicy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious! My husband (who is tremendously picky and has eaten duck all over the world -- including China ) was in heaven! Thanks to our wonderful server's recommendation, his duck entrée was everything he dreams of -- tender inside, crispy on the outside, and bursting with flavor! He said it's now his go-to dish (and this is coming from a man who usually orders the pork chop! ) We are so thrilled to see how beautifully this restaurant has flourished -- we were among the very first patrons when they opened almost 4 years ago -- with founder and chef Josh Weeks -- and have been huge fans ever since! If you're in Waynesville -- DO NOT MISS THIS GEM! Incredible food, warm service, and the kind of meal that makes you smile all night long! read more

We chose this restaurant for our 28th anniversary dinner. It was our second time here and we were not disappointed With the dishes we chose. We really enjoyed all the food which was prepared and presented wonderfully. Josh owner chef has a definite talent. My only complaint was that the reservations asked if it was special occasion but no one acknowledged that it was our anniversary. A glass of wine or dessert would have been nice. read more

I had the stuffed with Gouda cheese... And lightly covered in panko crust... absolutely wonderful no MSG in this restaurant as well!

This place is amazing! JR Williams was my server, we was extremely polite, attentive and made sure everything was correct. I ordered the New York Strip Steak, and it was extremely delicious. The flavors on every bite whether it was the steak, mashed sweet potatoes, green beans and the house steak sauce were very tasty! 10/10 would recommend and will for sure be back!! read more

If you are ever in Waynesville NC, don't miss out coming here. Great food and service. Best salad ever; soup tasty and hamburger made with brisket...perfectly cooked...delicious read more

doesn't have much stuff and the place is kind of hard to find. The place is also really old and not for kids

Our experience was sublime! Sam, our server, was fantastic! She was welcoming and friendly and offered suggestions to our menu inquiries. When our meals arrived, you truly do "eat with your eyes", as the presentation was lovely! The flavor of our meal choices were equally delightful and spectacular. Sam was very attentive without being bothersome, just letting us know that she was available. We will definitely be back as the atmosphere, the service and the food collectively made for a wonderful dining experience. We are looking forward to trying some of the other items on the menu as they all look amazing! As you may tell by this review, we HIGHLY recommend this wonderful establishment. read more

I had the chicken salad, and it wasn't a conventional chicken salad. The best I've ever had. Husband had shrimp sandwich and loved it. Waitress and owner visited several times. It took a while for the food but very much worth the wait. We will definitely visit again. read more

This place nails it every time! Last night I had red snapper that was served w a coconut rice -there was more but I unfortunately cannot describe this dish to a fair level other than to say it was by far my favorite dining experience in a long time. I started w a Caesar salad along w the others at my table. It's the best one around. Salad served in a Parmesan cracker bowl.... Like warm Parmesan was shaped and cooled and the salad went perfectly inside. Just can't say enough! It's nice to get excited about dinner w friends knowing it's going to be money well spent ~ plate presentation is always creative w color and if you take pics of food, you'll need your camera. I was too hungry to snap any, but I wish I would have. It was a beautiful night to enjoy the patio and the service was fantastic as well. No rush. Very accommodating and kind. And we had lots of laughs as well. Don't pass this place up. Owners are dedicated and talented and it shows- you'll see and taste it yourself. Keep slaying SHK! read more

WOW!!!! Great food at expected pricing. Hats off to the chef! And the servers are wonderful. We WILL be back!!!

This a wonderful resturant. The owners are so accommodating and kind. My boyfriend and I eat here at least once a month and we would recommend this location to anyone. Perfect for a date night!

I recommend the linguini and the chocolate torte. read more

I LOVE the food at Singletree. I try to go there often. I even ordered out when special guests were coming to my house for lunch. They loved it too and we had lots of left overs. The price may be a bit higher but worth every nickel. I simply love the food, staff and atmosphere. read more

Too fufu for us. Very few classic dishes (burgers). Everything had spoiler ingredients. Glad we went one time. No plans to return.

Delicious food. Good service. Nice atmosphere. My mom and I went for a late lunch and both really enjoyed our meal.

5 stars! Food is incredible. We ordered 3 different sandwiches for lunch and each one better than the next. So so good. The unique flavors and textures created perfection in our mouths. So yummy. We'll be back! read more

The almond crusted trout with lemon chive beurre blanc sauce is a MUST HAVE!!! By far the best trout mom and I have ever eaten! The beef carpaccio was delicious also! Great atmosphere and fantastic service! Definitely recommend and will be coming back! Great place for a date night too! read more

Ordered the Haywood burger with tomato basil bisque and Dixie coleslaw for lunch. The burger was delicious, the bisque was probably the best I had but I wasn't crazy about the slaw. Soda came in cans, not a big deal. Service was great from start to finish. Ambiance is contemporary and fresh, classic rock playing. There is outdoor seating. Would definitely recommend and I'll be back. read more

Very very happily surprised when looking for a good spot nearby-ish. The food - Creole seafood stew and Greek style snapper - was excellent, drinks and service also amazing. Will certainly return when next in town read more

The meals were excellent. We were a large group. Our server did a great job, on a large large group. We were all seated together. Our server answered questions, and made recommendations. She was friendly, and professional. The kitchen got all the meals out quickly, and everyone got their meals at the same time. Everyone in the group liked their meals, and all agreed they will return. read more

It was a beautiful place and the service was excellent. The food was ok but not that impressive. We had chicken and trout. The trout was a bit salty for my taste. Overall it was a nice experience. read more

The best scratch kitchen I've ever eaten in. Everything is homemade and unbelievable. If you like desserts, you've gotta have their desserts. They're amazing. Their burger is definitely the best burger I've ever had in my entire life. read more

No reservations. We sat at the bar. She had a house mezcal cocktail, which was balanced and nuanced. I had a Hendricks gin martini, up, dry, olives. Which was above any good bar or tavern. Very well executed. Ordered a bottle of white and a bottle of red. The gewurztraminer paired well with the salads and my wife's entree of orzo and ratatouille. The Jean Louis Chave was perfect with the beef. Had a trio of desserts, some coffee and digestives. All the food, drinks and wine were on the level of "big town", (Whatever that is). The kitchen timing was on point and the flavors were as well. Seasoned aggressively but with a very careful hand. Communication was clearly visible. They obviously have a cohesive front and back of house staff. Service at the bar was impeccable. The wonderfully funny lady behind the bar clearly had an ownership stake in the place. Or maybe, just maybe... the hospitality business can still produce quality craftsmanship. Kudos to those that are still fighting the good fight. Had a short visit at the bar with chef, who was affable and humble. He never even introduced himself as the chef. Again, very humble and inviting. We came to the valley with little expectations. We have left feeling full. Full of great food, wonderful wines, experiences with great locals, and the anticipation of returning soon. read more

No wait on a Saturday night! Of course it is early 6:10, but still.. This is a local restaurant in Waynesville set a couple of blocks off Main Street. It was resurrected from an old gas station. The place is cozy with a nice bar where you can eat as well, when it's busy or you forgot to make reservations. We managed to find a night that the tourists didn't know to eat there. Local beers, extensive wine list and quality liquor complement your meal. I had the chicken with seasonal vegetables. It was well prepared tasted great. The service was excellent, as it has been the other times that I've eaten there. The servers are familiar with all of the entrees. The manager is familiar with many of their wines. So, you can get some great suggestions when dining there. It is casual dining. However, you can come dressed up and you will not look out of place. In Waynesville it is a place not to miss when looking for a quality meal. read more

We love to support local small businesses and have been wanting to try Singletree out for a while. We went for lunch today, and honestly was a little shocked at the prices for the entrees. I got the Salisbury sandwich (Ruben) with gas station fries (Yukon gold potato wedges). It was good, but I would rather not of paid $17 for it. The waitress was great and very attentive. The Christmas decor was very minimal and added to the ambiance of the restaurant. It's a nice place but would not recommend for children or picky eaters. If the price was lower and maybe there was an option for people with young children it would get another star. It was nice but not somewhere I would run back to. Dinner may be a different story. read more

Wonderful cocktails. Friendly and helpful staff. Food was amazing from starters through dessert. We had the blue crab fritters, trout, scallops and chocolate espresso torte. read more

Food was great. All dishes prepared perfectly (except the plantains) - highly recommend the trout. However, I noticed that the menu on the website was not the current menu which made it hard to plan ahead for food allergies. The space is beautiful. Overall it's an elevated dining experience but the service was lacking a bit. Our server was very friendly but not attentive. At the time, the restaurant was about 40% occupied and seemed there was plenty of staff. It took 25 min after ordering for the food to arrive, and during this time, the server did not check on us and she forgot my beverage order - and my glass for water was empty until after I received my dish. read more

Love this place! Great food, especially veggie options. Service is excellent. Definitely a place to visit.

Excellent food and service! Great cherry pudding! Never had a bad meal! Have to say probably the top restaurant in Waynesville. A must tray!

Really glad we decided to try Singletree Heritage! The service was great and the food matched up. Will definitely return for special occasions! read more

The entire meal was delicious. We had a quick lunch on a Saturday with a Parmesan basil soup and pork tenderloin sandwich. Nice outdoor seating and just incredible food. read more

We had dinner here yesterday. They have an updated menu which did not disappoint. My husband had the creole and I had the tomato fondue with grilled shrimp. Both were heavenly. The service was lovely. Everyone here is so friendly and very accommodating. This is our new weekend spot. I highly recommend this beautiful restaurant. read more

Ambiance was lovely and our company was great, however the main course was not what I hoped for. We started with the crab balls which were tasty I ordered the blueberry habanero chicken and I didn't realize it wasn't boneless. My error, I could have asked. The pork chop option was clearly listed as bone in, so I just assumed the chicken entree would state that as well. When asking about the bone-in chicken the server asked if she could return the dish to the kitchen to cut off the wing. (A different entree was not offered as an option until the end of the meal when the owner came out.) Moving forward with a now boneless piece of chicken -the chicken was tough & the asparagus was cold. Our friends ordered the same entrees and also confirmed tough chicken. The owner was very pleasant and encouraged us to let them know if weren't pleased next time, We were offered complimentary dessert but our friends had purchased dessert to have at their house. Hope this place is successful but it's not somewhere I'd return. My husband had the pork. read more

Wonderful addition to Waynesville dining establishments (my favorite so far in 8 years of visiting) . The service was superb, the atmosphere is elegant and the food quality and presentation is hmm outstanding. Started with the Cornmeal Crusted NC Shrimp. Very lightly breaded (almost tempura style) with a delightful relish and tarter sauce. We had the Bone in Pork Chop (perfectly prepared and juicy) and the Half Roasted Chicken, which was succulent. Highly recommend!!! read more

We spent our Honeymoon in Waynesville and stumbled upon this delightful fine dining establishment. WHAT A GEM!!! The soup of the day was a Coconut Shrimp Curry Bisque, which was to DIE FOR. My wife had the Massaman Shrimp Curry and I had the Scallops. Best meal of our trip! DO NOT MISS OUT! read more
