Restaurants in Waynesville

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We absolutely love The Singletree Restaurant! We give you five stars without hesitation.

We were there the very first week Josh Weeks opened this establishment and have been loyal patrons ever since—sharing it with friends, cheering him on, and returning again and again.

Tonight’s meal was outstanding. The duck, ordered by my husband and son, was absolutely delicious, and my scallops were succulent and fabulous. Every visit reinforces why we love coming back.

Thank you for consistently delivering farm-to-table, thoughtfully prepared food in such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We will continue to support and recommend you.

Merry Christmas! 2025 🎄✨

“Stopped by late afternoon with a party of 11. Everything was really good. Service was super fast and friendly. Large draft beer selection. Lots of interesting and yummy specialty pizzas, or build your own. Large portions. The salad was really good and someone in our party had a wrap that looked delicious. Will definitely be back!”

“Great service and delicious food.”

“My fiancé and I dinned in tonight with our 4 month old son for Valentine’s Day! The food was absolutely out of this world! Steak was cooked perfectly, the potatoes were literally to die for, the asparagus was crunchy and fresh, and our crab cake🤤🤤🤤 everything was so perfect and the atmosphere was perfect. You could taste the love that’s made into the food! We felt so welcomed with our baby, it was our first real big dinner since he’s been born! Mama had to eat!🍴🥩 We love Fuego! Our server Maddie (I believe that was her name), was also fantastic! Checked in with us and made sure everything was perfect! If you’re wondering if you should try Fuego…answer is, YES! The owners David and Leah are so dedicated to their work and to show their love for every single customer, it’s all a big family and you can feel it the second you walk in!❤️”

“Very relaxed beach burger stand vibes that delivers not just on taste, but on quality as well. One of the best burgers I've had in WNC and I've had a lot of them. Get a shaved ice after to really drive home the nostalgic summer feel. Thanks for the great lunch Gigis!”

“Excellent service. Best yeast rolls I have ever had! Ample portions, appropriately priced. The 4 stars for atmosphere is due to how loud it was in the restaurant. I couldn't hear my husband from just across the table.”

“Amazing location and friendly staff.”

“We tried a sampler plate. The food was great! So nice to have a choice besides the chain restaurants. Service was friendly and health rating was 100. We’ll be back soon. Favorite item on the sampler-empanadas!”

“My wife and I live about a mile away, maybe we are biased. The food is always good, the worst service we ever got was when they were literally slammed busy. I bring friends and family here when they visit and I have never heard a complaint. Miss Wendy and her staff are awesome. Will keep going back.”

“Absolutely delicious!!!! We got the raspberry pizza pastry (absolutely delicious!!!!), a cannoli (absolutely delicious!!! Not the classic cannoli that isn’t sweet enough, more like an icing flavor which I love!!!), a raspberry macaron (absolutely delicious texture, best macaron I’ve ever had!!! Didn’t taste much raspberry but that could’ve also been because I was stuffing my taste buds with a bunch of other flavors at the same time 😅), and a cinnamon roll/bun (which wasn’t dry at all!!! I feel like a good tell or whether a bakery is quality or not is if they have cinnamon rolls - are they dry or moist? And let me tell you these were the absolute BEST cinnamon rolls I’ve ever had!! So moist, yet flaky, and full of flavor!!! Their prices are AMAZING!!! And they were busy but efficient!! We were in and out within 5 minutes even though the line was backed up to the door!! HIGHLY recommend this bakery!!!!! My favorite bakery ever!!! So glad we discovered it!!!! ❤️❤️”

“Terrific experience at Chef’s Table this evening. My wife and I did not have a reservation and actually left to go elsewhere when the waiter came out to get us and asked that we be patient for just a few minutes… we were and I’m glad we stayed.
I had the cheese salad and the ribeye and my wife had artichoke with mushroom ravioli…WOW. All the food was great including the wine. The waiter was very attentive and gave us good recommendations. Even the bread and butter were very good. We plan on returning often.”

“SINCE I LIVE RIGHT BEHIND LOWE'S AND HAVE SEEN THEIR TRUCK THERE, I POPPED OVER TO GET SOME LUNCH. THEY SERVE THE ABSOLUTE BEST PAPUSAS I HAVE EVER EATEN. THEY ARE COOKED PERFECTLY, A LITTLE CRISP AND THE CHEESE AND CHICKEN WERE JUST SPOT ON. TYPICALLY I HAVE ONLY HAD A RED SAUCE SERVED WITH PAPUSAS, BUT THEIR GREEN SAUCE WENT VERY WELL WITH THE SLAW. I ALSO ORDERED A GORDITA, BUT COULD NOT EAT DUE TO BEING TOO FULL FROM THE PAPUSAS, WHICH COME 3 TO AN ORDER. FANTASTIC PRODUCT.”

“The food is wonderful! Highly recommend!”

“Wow! This bakery is amazing with friendly staff. I had coffee and a coconut cream puff. So good. Try this place. You won't be disappointed.”

The crab rangoons are amazing too! I look forward to eating here in the future. Waynesville is lucky to have this 💎!!”

“We had our son’s 7th birthday party at Kilwins, and it was a WONDERFUL experience! They made our son feel extra special putting up decorations and putting his name and birthday on their side walk sign, and all the kids had such a fun time getting to decorate aprons and make their own treats to take home! This experience was a 10/10! I 100% recommend Kilwins for a unique, fun and stress free (for the parents 😁) experience.”

The pub has a separate entrance but is basically in same building as Bocelli's - owned by same person. Restrooms were very clean. Parking is a little tough at times, small parking lot but if you're used to downtown Waynesville, you understand the parking”

The atmosphere is so relaxing and inviting! The owner Tracie is very friendly and hospitable. Oh! We must not forget. It’s a pet friendly establishment.”

“We had a birthday party for my nephew and needed something everyone would like but still a variety..... If your planning a party or just feeding a lot of people Little Caesars is where I would recommend going to. Even thou it was 21 pizzas and 7 crazy breads, when we picked it up, it was all fresh and not sloppy or made in a hurry. Everything was right and everyone was happy! Great group of people that helped us plan an event that an eight year old won't forget!!”

“Best eggroll ever.. Shrimp not overpowered with excess sauce. Crispy on the outside. The shrimp, under the coating, was properly cooked, but very bland.”

“seem like a nice place to work but they were a lady, blue shirt and believe her name could have been Tracy. . she was very rude to employees. I feel little training of how to be manager and be polite around customers would go a long way. knowone need to be treated like that. Great employees will not last under that lady. I am a past manger at a Dunkin in Ky and we are trained better than that. Great work employees even tho you have a rude manager.”

“This is a great place to enjoy a meal at. I ggreat selection to choose from and they ve daily specials. And save room for some dessert which they have that you can choose from a big variety”

“Good Fat Belly and big Beard lunch and dinner barbecue entrees. We got the 1/2 Rack Rib combo plate and beef brisket, and pulled pork, & 1/4 chicken combo plate. Come and get you some neighbors.”

Next thing I know an employee is running out the back door with liver samples for me to try! 5 stars to the employees working today 8/23. And the livers were fresh and delicious!! Thanks for the great service.”

“I don't know why this location is so much better than every other location of Taco Bell, but they run a tight ship. Never messed up an order even when I have weird alterations.

It's gotten to the point that I won't even eat at a Taco Bell unless it's this location because I'll end up disappointed.”

“Kids love it here, good place for quick bite, nice people

Parking: Didn't count the spots but there is room. . .
