16 Best American Restaurants near Canton

“I usually order to go when I am too lazy to make a home-cooked meal. The food is good, generous, and well worth the price. I like different restaurants for different reasons. This falls into my "guilty pleasures/greasy spoon" category of restaurant, not because its a dive but because it is simple, decent, southern comfort style food. Don't go for Michelin Star or for fusion foods, but when you want something comforting like grandma would have made it. I give it a 5 star rating not just for its food, but the heart and spirit of the owners and employees. I have seen from behind the scenes, more than once, how this restaurant helps people and the community-for example with food for flood victims and fundraisers for local schools. Their compassion alone makes it a business worth supporting, the tasty fried country steaks, okra, rolls and desert are just the icing on the cake.“

“We were looking at adding a den onto our cabin and met with three different contractors. We felt comfortable with Josh and we made the right choice. We are part timers here in waynesville so we really needed someone we could trust. He kept us informed throughout the construction and made great suggestions. Can’t say enough how thankful we are that we chose A and B. Thanks for a job well done“

“Very nice place for lunch or breakfast“

“Very Good!“

“We made the HUGE mistake of skipping Grateful Table initially because my other half was craving Mexican food—let’s just say that decision led us straight into a flavorless disaster at Three Compas. But after that major letdown, we wandered over to Grateful Table Cafe & Provisions... and WOW. What an absolute 1000% improvement! Though we didn’t sit down for a full meal (this time!), we picked up a few goodies that completely redeemed our taste buds. First, the homemade molasses and ginger cookies—soft like pillows, perfectly spiced, and honestly tasted like they came straight from heaven. There was a subtle hint of clove, one of my favorite spices, and it made the whole experience feel cozy and special. Then came the duck fat caramels. As a duck owner, I was beyond curious—and while I’ll admit I prefer traditional caramels, these were rich, unique, and absolutely worth the try. They even sparked some ideas for experimenting in my own kitchen. We also grabbed some salami, and let me tell you: it was out. of. this. world. Packed with flavor, clearly made with care, and easily one of the best cured meats I've had in a long time. We *will* be back—especially in hopes of snagging some of that homemade bread we sadly missed this time (it was sold out, which honestly tells you everything you need to know). You can taste the quality in every product they sell, and it’s clear they’re using top-notch ingredients that make a real culinary impact. Totally worth every penny. Grateful Table, thank you for turning our day around—we can’t wait to come back!“

“This place was amazing!! From the superb waitress (Nancy) to the outstanding food. We are local and found out about this place from a friend. We will be back for sure! Great food and great prices!“

“We came here from Massachusetts and wanted true southern food. It was great! Bruce had the meatloaf and said it was the best he has ever had. I had the pot roast and it was great!“

“Food cook exactly the way it should be. Great service. ALL the staff were so pleasant and friendly. The banter back and forth between them was absolutely entertaining and made us smile. I have ate at multiple waffle houses in multiple states for years and this one is my favorite by far. A lot of the others act like you are an interruption in their day. No smiles no greetings and you constantly have to ask for refills. Not the case at the one in Canton. We will be stopping in there again on our travels through the state.“

“We enjoyed a wonderful and filling breakfast this morning. The service is incredible, the waitresses are so sweet and kind! Our food was hot, delicious, and was prepared quickly. I had more food on my plate than I expected! I highly recommend!“

“The food is wonderful! Highly recommend!“

“All of their food is excellent! My favorites are cheeseburgers, hotdogs and biscuits and gravy! They have a high sanitary grade even though they are in a food truck. The only drawback is they have only outside seating and close at 2:00 pm..“

“Very delicious food. and a lot of it. .nice variety.. Quick service...Friendly staff..clean. ...Highly recommend dining with Waylon and Honeys. ..anytime.....“

“Ribeye was outstanding, 2 vegs and bread. Good menu items and fast service“

“We visited the area the week of Aug. 2-6. Our first visit. Take out only. Not a problem. They have a system to get you in and out quickly, with hot food, done as ordered. I eat my hotdogs pretty plain, husband eats his ATW. We loved our food. We ate outside on one of several small booths. This is a locally owned business. We strive to find these when we travel. Glad we found this one.“
