If someone had told me I'd find one of the best Cuban sandwiches I've had outside of Florida in…read moreBryson City, North Carolina, I probably wouldn't have believed them--but High Test Deli & Sweet Shop proved me wrong. We stopped in on the recommendation of a local shop owner while we were visiting Bryson City, and I'm so glad we did. Being from the Tampa area, we're pretty picky about Cuban sandwiches. They're a staple back home, so our expectations were high. The owner happened to be there and confidently recommended the Cuban, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. There was a short wait while it was made fresh, but it was well worth it. The sandwich was perfectly balanced, flavorful, and honestly tasted like a little piece of home. We packed it up and enjoyed it before heading out for an afternoon of tubing, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. The shop itself is charming, clean, and has a welcoming atmosphere where you can sit down and enjoy your meal. We didn't try the sweets this time, but they looked delicious and give us another reason to come back. Meeting the owner made the experience even better. He was friendly, welcoming, and clearly takes pride in what he serves. Whether you're a fellow Floridian missing a great Cuban or you've never had one before, do yourself a favor and stop by High Test Deli & Sweet Shop. It's absolutely worth it. This is an easy 5-star recommendation, and we'll be back the next time we're in Bryson City.

It's not always easy to find a place that delivers good food, good service, and good value, but High Test Deli did all three. We would definitely stop by again the next time we're in the area.

She's always extremely friendly & passionate about good food. 2. "The Hudson" a classic & the dill havarti cheese topped "Gobbler" for sandwiches & don't forget every sandwich can be made in to a salad. My go to for salad is the "Raw & Flawless". All sandwiches are toasted perfectly & made with love. 3. The homemade cookies. Worth every single penny. If she has them that day do not miss out. These are famous oatmeal crème pie cookies! 4. The courtyard. Where else in Highlands can you join the locals & visitors alike & have a glorious sandy in such a lovely setting. Umbrellas up & perfect for any day of the year. 5. The menu (simple but curated) has something for everyone. Whether you're a turkey fan or branch out to something as fabulous as "The Muff" or "The Godfather" or prefer a beautiful salad this place offers something for everyone, adults & children (a grilled cheese is always an option:) 6. A well thought out selection of wine, cheese & spreads, frozen raviolis & do not forget to stock your freezer with her amazing selection of homemade soups. Something as simple as the chicken & noodle soup is so elevated with extra large noodles & fresh chopped ingredients & takes on a new vibe. This is not your basic. Don't miss The Secret Garden on your visit to Highlands.
