Ammons Drive-in - Waynesville

This is a fantastic local business! It offers excellent diner-style food. I ordered hamburgers and fries, which are my benchmark for diners, and I found them to be quite good—though the burger was a bit on the small side; a larger one would have been preferable. The prices were very reasonable, particularly for a resort area, and the milkshakes were outstanding. The service was quick and friendly as well. Overall, a great experience!

Every time I visit this restaurant, the food is served quickly, at the perfect temperature, and packed with flavor. I've never encountered any cold or dry dishes. While I would love to see more options for fries, I can't fault the service or the food at all. It's definitely a must-visit spot while traveling through, and it's a great place for a quick lunch if you're working remotely.

Just pull into the parking lot, and these folks will take your order in no time. This restaurant serves the best home-cooked meals. I love their daily specials, especially the catfish and roasted chicken, which have a steak-like quality. The coconut cake is heavenly. It's a fantastic spot for a delicious meal!

Ammons is unique because they are curb hops coming to your car and take your order. I always get a cheeseburger and French fries, even though their burgers are not so great; I think they're sucking them in water, but the pommes are good. They also have good hot fudge cakes and sunflowers. I enjoy going here because it has been there for years (used to be Boyds when it was outside Russ Avenue).

Chili not the same as it used to be.. we used to get chili rolls every week. Last couple of years the chili is just very salty, doesn't taste homemade like before.. Disappointed in that, but overall food is decent. BBQ is good. Very clean restaurant, safe and friendly staff. FYI Cash only.
