Haywood 209 Cafe,

3360 Crabtree Rd, Waynesville, NC 28785, United States

"We stopped here for gas and found this amazing AMAZINGLY delicious diner! We had our dog, and they were so welcoming even tho we had him. Outside seating was wonderful! I had a Philly cheesesteak sandwich with extra cheese and it was to DIE for! Best I’ve ever had! My kids had French toast, biscuits and gravy, and mac and cheese and absolutely no complaints on any of it. Delicious delicious Also, this area of NC, is just pure gold! Enjoy!!!"

"Was a great experience! The server, Mac, was wonderful and very helpful with getting our toddler situated with booster chair and coloring page. The atmosphere was upbeat, cheery and welcoming. The food was delicious and the portions were more than enough!"

"I had one of the best dinners that I have had in a very very long time. And the service couldn't have been better or more friendly. This location is next to a gas station but don't let that fool you the food is top notch. The atmosphere is that of a diner, but more open and modern. I WILL be back. I had the blackened catfish and it was delicious! I will add pictures. PS, they tell me that they are opening up a new location in downtown Waynesville!"

"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 stopped here at the last minute before heading home and the food was very delicious! Flavorful and served quickly. The service was just as wonderful… if you happen to be in the area or just passing through, definitely stop by!"
