The restaurant also serves hand dipped ice cream and shakes. They have homemade pies for dessert. They have a few picnic tables outside next to the river and some beautiful flowers

We visit Waynesville a couple times a year and I have passed by this place (on the motorcycle)…read moredozens of times without a thought of stopping. Then, I heard about the place on Facebook on one of those "unique out of the way places to eat" posts. The post peaked my interest, especially, since I knew exactly where it was, so, I YELPED it and made plans to go. On our last visit to Waynesville, I put it on my cheap places to try list. We had my in-laws in tow, so I'm reporting the opinions of 4 people. My wife and her dad got the country fried steak. They said it was okay, but nothing special and they wouldn't get it again. My MIL and I both got the Meatloaf sandwich. I got mine on a hoagie bun and my MIL got hers on Texas toast. We both enjoyed our meatloaf sandwiches. Mine was worth going back for another. My MIL also enjoyed half of hers and gave me the other half. The Hoagie bun was definitely the better decision. This is a cheap diner with cheap diner food. The atmosphere is just what it looks like in the pictures and it's exactly what we were looking for. The staff is very friendly. Our waitress tried to sell us some of their homemade desserts, but, unfortunately we already had ingredients and plans for an apple tart, back at the cabin. We will definitely visit this place again, on our next trip. I'll get another meatloaf sandwich, (it was really outstanding) my wife will get something other than the fried steak and we'll both grab a couple of those good looking homemade desserts they had in their display case. We spend a lot of money eating out, when we travel, so I always sprinkle in a couple of cheap places, in order to afford a few pricier, more upscale places. This place is exactly what you should expect after reading the reviews and viewing the pics. I'll try to remember to get some pics next time.

We found ourselves in Saluda, NC exploring some their historical landmarks and businesses and…read moredecided to stop in at Ward's Grill hoping they were still serving breakfast, fortunately for us it wasn't past the 10:30 AM cutoff and the grill hadn't transitioned over to lunch yet. I absolutely love these small town restaurants and couldn't wait to see what unique local favorites were on the menu - they certainly have all the traditional breakfast offerings along with Coca-Cola products, fresh coffee and plenty of sweet tea. The biscuits and gravy caught my eye as I scanned the laminated menu and after our drinks arrived it was decision time and I hadn't fully committed so our wonderful server gave us an additional few minutes. Okay there's no better way to experience the local flavor than ordering the homemade fare - 1/2 order of the homemade biscuits and gravy with a side of "Charlie's Spicy Sage Sausage" and a giant pancake with a side of crispy bacon. When my plate arrived I immediately knew I made the right choice, the light biscuit was fluffy with a crunchy bottom smothered in a delicious sausage gravy and the sage sausage was to die for it was definitely spicy but the hand formed patties is like nothing I've experienced before. Whoever the hell Charlie is he should be extremely proud of his creation it's exceptional and of very high quality. The pancake was perfectly executed as well and one pancake is a large portion so if you order more than one you better be extremely hungry - it light and fluffy and stands tall on the plate, add lots of syrup and real butter and it's something worth bragging about. The staff here are happy people and it shows they take pride in what they do, besides the food being absolutely delicious it's very reasonably priced. This little diner like atmosphere is beautiful and I feel lucky to have found it, it certainly could be a destination...

The home fries were generously supplied and featured satisfying crispy edges. - I subbed the toast/biscuit for a single blueberry pancake which was large, scrumptious, and served with rich blueberry compote as well as warm maple syrup. - Definitely worth a return trip.

I had asked for no tomatoes and to add pickles. They accidentally left the tomatoes on but did add the pickles. It was an easy fix, so it wasn't a big deal. The sweet potato hush puppies were delicious and definitely worth ordering. The crispy Brussels sprouts were the only disappointment. They weren't actually crispy and seemed a little undercooked. They were better dipped in the ranch, but I think they would have been much better if they had been cooked longer and sliced a little thinner. The atmosphere was great, with plenty of seating, and it was very kid-friendly. Overall, I'd definitely come back.

They have plenty of seating and the dishes have healthy proportions. If you are in the area stop in and step back into time. It feels like they converted a gas station from the 1960's and kept some of the signage as decorations. Two thumbs up and we will be back again when we are in the area.

They also offer pet-friendly outdoor seating, which is a great option if you're dining with your furry friend. Our waitress, Mackenzie, was fantastic! She was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out quickly. The service was excellent from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious. We had the Grit Bowl Special, Chicken & Waffles, Brioche French Toast, and fresh fruit. The chicken tasted just like my grandma's recipe. It was crispy, flavorful, and paired perfectly with their spicy hot honey. Everything was fresh and cooked perfectly. The coffee bar was another highlight! They offer so many specialty drink options, including hot chocolate topped with homemade whipped cream. And don't skip the fresh-squeezed orange juice, it was some of the best we've ever had! What really made this place stand out for our family was how kid-friendly it is. The kids got to draw pictures while we ate, and afterward they were able to hang their artwork in the hallway for everyone to see. They absolutely loved it! There's also a large lounge area in the back with cozy seating and games like Shut the Box and chess, making it a great place to relax while waiting for a table or after your meal. If you're looking for a delicious breakfast, outstanding service, and a family-friendly atmosphere, Lucy in the Rye is definitely worth a visit. We'll absolutely be back, and I highly recommend it!
