A wonderful piece of nostalgia with friendly people excellent food salad bar that you can't get many restaurants these days. I read a lot of reviews that get mad because it's not politically correct about all the Scottish details... Those people need to not come here we have plenty of people from this part of the country that love the tartan diner, especially the Trump effigies! Those people better be getting used to. They're getting a big dose of him in 2025.!!!!!

I always eat here when I am up in Linville and I love the Tartan. Their home cooking is delicious and I have always been very happy with it as a Native North Carolinian. I have always received good service here too. My Step-Dad grew up in Linville and he knew the owner.

Excellent breakfast, good variety of breakfast items. Service was excellent. Friendly environment;
The food was fair, nothing special and Scottish-themed names, but basic fare you would find at most US restaurants, with a few exceptions. Service was a bit slow, but I think they forgot about us in the back corner. The biggest issue was the huge display of Trump merchandise that was only visible when you leave due to the layout. They sold yard signs, t-shirts, money with Trump on it, bumper stickers, any Trump merchandise you can think of. Generally, I prefer my restaurants to advertise their food and not their politics.

Hidden Gem. Has the old school diner vibe and years of service and history to it. If you're in the area please stop by and grab a meal. Excellent food, solid service, happy to see it going strong. Place was packed when we stopped by on a Friday for lunch. Will definitely be back if we are in the area again.

We've been coming here every year for over 15 years. Always great food, atmosphere, and service. Truly love it. I cannot, for the life of me, understand the low/bad reviews. Nor do I understand those who are "offended " by certain things. I can, but the underlying reason is ridiculous. Besides, one can only be offended if one allows themselves to be.

Great food and atmosphere. Our waitress was a little less than attentive. We saw her for our order, our initial drinks, delivery of food, and the bill. Refills on drinks would have been nice. Another waitress was kind enough to bring us refills when we stopped her and asked. I would definitely go back. Had a really nice breakfast!
