Country Diner — Restaurant in Watauga

The minute we walked in we were greeted by the locals, a lady across the table from us got up and came to remove some left over cups from the previous people and then her husband came and wiped the table clean. They do not work there, they saw how busy it was so they lend a hand. The lady that took care of us knew everyone by name and treated us like we were part of the locals. I had the best tasting pancakes I’ve had in a long time. My husband had eggs, country ham, biscuits with sausage gravy and hash browns. Everything was delicious, before we left we had to order another pancake, that is how delicious those pancakes are. I can’t express enough how welcomed we felt. I can’t wait to go back. Something that was pretty nice, while we were talking to the locals, we just finished eating and a little older man seating across from us came over and picked up our dishes and took them to the kitchen. I looked around and people did that for each other, that warmed my heart. God...

They are quick, yet thorough. The BBQ pulled pork or beef is delicious, and my favorite dish is that with their cheddar rounds! They DO CLOSE FAIRLY EARLY, but their breakfasts are even more delicious than their lunches, because they have true homemade, hand-made biscuits...

Oh my lord! What an unexpected treat! I drive through Watuaga all of the time for work and saw this diner. I looked up the reviews and KNEW I HAD to eat there.
