Smoky Mountain Diner - Hot Springs

This restaurant is a must-visit for anyone seeking the finest breakfast options and excellent service! I highly recommend it, and don’t forget to pick up one of their shirts as a keepsake. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a lovely mountain vibe. The food is not only delicious but also reasonably priced, and the staff is friendly and efficient.

This is the best home-cooked meal I've ever had! The French toast was the most delicious I've tasted anywhere! The cinnamon buns are absolutely amazing—make sure to go early on Saturday to enjoy them, or call ahead to reserve some.

This is the best country-style diner I've ever been to! The BLT I had was absolutely the best I've ever tasted—period! It included crispy bacon, romaine lettuce, and delicious, batter-dipped, deep-fried tomatoes. Most people find they need a to-go box for leftovers, so you definitely won't leave hungry!

This restaurant offers the finest home-cooked meals and features a remarkably friendly and dedicated staff. To my surprise, they serve generous, wholesome salads made with fresh greens, along with delicious fried green tomatoes and all the other classic accompaniments you would expect!

We visit Hot Springs every year, and the Smoky Mountain Diner is a must-visit spot. It's one of the reasons we look forward to our trip. Their breakfast and friendly staff are among the best in the Carolinas. In past years, we've always camped, but this year we're staying in a charming little cabin called the Boathouse, which I absolutely love because it's closer to the diner. Definitely a five-star experience!
