I was working in the area and starting to feel a little under-the-weather....so I figured a good dose of comfort food might be just the thing to get me through the day. I am glad that I gave this place a try. First, the sweet tea is exactly like my grandmother used to make... super sweet and delicious. I decided to order a veggie plate and ended up with a major carb overload... mashed potatoes, fried okra, fried creamed corn, and baked apples along with cornbread! Yikes! It was not a healthy meal but it was delicious. The mashed potatoes were yummy, okra was very good, and the fried cream corn nuggets were unbelievably delicious! Since I was dining alone and sort of in a hurry, I just sat at the counter and everyone working there was super sweet and very helpful. Prices are super inexpensive. I definitely would eat here again...hopefully next time I will make healthier choices though, lol!

I visited Tom's Creek Falls in the Marion area and stopped at the Country Diner for a burger. I had high hopes based on the other reviews, but was pretty disappointed. The cheeseburger was the best part of the meal-- it had a very good taste though it was a little skimpy on the condiments. The fries were undercooked and meagerly doled out. The Cheerwine did not taste right--like it was diluted or something. There was a mystery smell that kept wafting my way and interfered with my enjoyment of the meal. It had a bleachy, industrial cleanser smell and made my food, the fries in particular, have an odd taste from time to time. The service was average and the price was high for what I received. On an unrelated note, Tom's Creek Falls is a gem--a very tall waterfall, especially for being outside of the mountains proper. It is particularly impressive after a good rain.

I arrived at the peak time. 6:00pm. Luckily a booth opened up in a couple of minutes. Waitress came right over and got my drink order then got my meal order when she delivered my drink. Seemed like just a couple of minutes until she brought my meal. The bar-ba-que was beautiful. It was light colored and lean with almost no fat or burned pieces. The taste was just as beautiful. Best bar-ba-que I've eaten. Service was great, food was great, price was reasonable. What more can I say?

Stopped here on our way to Grandfather Mountain. The food was exactly what we needed to fuel us up for our hike. The service was great and the conversation with the other diners made us feel welcome. The ambiance was exactly what you expected for a roadside diner. If we were locals, it would be a weekly spot for us.

This diner is amazing! Was trying to find a lunch place on a road trip and stumbled across this place. The wait staff was very nice and on point and the food was amazing. Best chicken sandwhich and corn nuggets I've ever had! Not to mention the inside of the restaurant was very welcoming.
