Haywood Cafe - Waynesville

209 has had its ups and downs, but is currently on an upswing. Food is good meat n 3, stay away from Granny 's deserts- if you 're watching calories. Atmosphere? If you like diners, but any lack of is amply delivered by the wait staff- all of em country cousins. Porky, the Legend of Crabtree, has even been seen there.

Great place to stop for breakfast. We enjoyed it and the staff was great! Good coffee. Fast service looks to be a good local place. We will be back next time we come thru

A great respite for the weary traveler or the knowing local, this cafe serves up hearty, honest diner food as well as a welcoming family atmosphere. The servers feel like relatives (the ones you actually like, haha), and provide both quick service and friendly conversation. I visited HC 209 twice during a weekend staycation with my wife. For supper the server recommended the Iron Duff Burger as a good vegetarian choice. I was skeptical black bean burgers can be gushy, flavorless wastes of time but took her advice. This baby was epic! It had beautifully crispy edges and the spicy flavors really popped. The fries were excellent as well. At breakfast, my omelette was liberally stuffed with the veggies and cheese of my choice and, served with hash browns and toast, was wonderfully satisfying. Don’t miss the treasures within the display case, made with love by a wonderful mystery lady who goes by the name Mamaw. I’m already dying for another cherry turnover. Bless you Mamaw, whoever you are!

We were looking for a pace to stop by for a coffee and breakfast, and we only knew the big chain coffeehouse you all know (I was not excited as the food there is usually painful). Then I searched for pancakes and found this place. It was a great surprise to find it, their black coffee was great, pancakes were delicious and the atmosphere was amazing. I wish we had more places like these around, not only the big chain coffeehouses.

Excellent food, friendly waiters and the whole place was insanely clean! Bathrooms included. Great place to stop on a road trip
