Butter Churn Cafe

A great hole-in-the-wall operation. The sandwiches are fantastic and I love that they serve ice cream from Young's Dairy.

Wife wanted to go here. I was in the mood for an Italian sandwich. So drive over with high hopes for this cute little eatery in downtown Waynesville. We get there, nice lady interacts with us and we decide on the famous grilled cheese and I get the Italian with a side cup of tomato bisque. We find a table, sit and wait for our food. I get anxious, get up and start wandering around. I find all sorts of old school items all over the place which is quite a blast from the past. So food arrives and I'm a little apprehensive as the grill or hot plate was obviously not hot enough to make grilled anything and left a kind of off putting gray smear all over the bread? So we ate around those parts or just peeled them away to eat. I've no clue why they'd put these on a plate for customers. They really should have just either remade them or give us options on what to do. Will we ever go back? Who knows, maybe we just came on a bad day as there are a ton of 5 star reviews with folks raving about it. Oh! They have ice cream!! :)

A small little treasure in downtown Waynesville. It's small and cozy. The inside is on the small side with 6 tables, a bathroom, and the parking is street parking. They have some of the best hand dipped Young's Jersey dairy ice cream with 12 different flavors to choose from. Plenty of sandwiches, salads, amd 2 soups to pick fromFor 13.00 I got1/2 of The amazing grilled Cheese $6.99White America, cheddar, Swiss, cream cheese, and a herb spread. It was really good but next time I will ask for no cream cheese.Bowl of chicken noodles soup $3.50 Full of flavor 22 ounce of diet CokeThe sandwich came with rather a fruit cup (tropical fruit prepackaged) or kettle chips and a small delicious sweet bite size muffinIf you are shopping downtown and want a great little lunch spot definitely stop in.

Very quant place for lunch with several sandwiches, soups and salads. I would come back but prob for coffee and ice cream.

Stopped here with my first after receiving a gift card. I had never been before. The location is on a busy Waynesville street, nestled between some quaint little antique shoppes. When we went in, we grabbed menus and sat down to decide what we wanted. The place is known for panini's so that's what my eye was looking for! When placing your order, you head to the register. While waiting to order, we noticed there are some yummy looking desserts as well as Young's Jersey Dairy ice cream! There is also a pop cooler with 20 oz. Coke products. My oldest decided on a full-size 6-cheese grilled cheese sandwich and fruit. My youngest decided to share a panini with me so she could also order Mac and cheese from the kids menu. I ordered a full-size Turkey panini with chips. We all got soft drinks-coke products. We went to sit down to wait for our food and just took in the atmosphere. There are antiques everywhere-hanging on the wall, leaning against the tables. The place is small but comfortable! We got there at a good time because the restaurant got busy while we were waiting. The food arrived within 10 minutes. Everything was warm, fresh and delicious. Each meal came with a small muffin. We didn't know the exact flavor of them but nevertheless, they were tasty. The only reason for a 4-star review is that my daughter's panini was a little burnt. She liked it but said it could've been better. We got free refills before we left. The ladies behind the register were kind, albeit busy. There is an upstairs to the place, possibly with more seating. We didn't go up so not sure. I would definitely check this place out if you're in the area. We were too full to get dessert but I'm glad we can get Young's without driving to Springfield!

We love this wholesome spot, the baked goods and the coffee are wonderful, the setting is like having lunch at grandma's house. The people that work here are kind and quick to help.

This is a great little lunch spot. There were two women working busting their butts for all the customers and it was worth the visit.

I always stop here if I am in the area. The Monto Christo is second to none. Service is great, very friendly staff.

The paninis were great!!! The inside decor was super cute and I found myself looking around for entertainment because it was all so lively.

I have it two stars because the people working there were very nice. But the food was straight from GFS ( they told us ) and put on a plate for us to eat. It was below average
