Wonderful fresh menu. We arrived just before closing. Had Greek salad and cup of soup and a southwest bowl. Both were delicious. Seems like a great place for lunch or a relaxed dinner.

Me and my wife dropped by after rafting in Bryson city for a snack. We split a Diego taco meal and had a chocolate chip cookie. This made a perfect snack to split, the tacos were on flour tortillas and had a great lime slaw with pineapple salsa. The tacos were juicy and flavorful and I would hesitate to eat them again.

Delicious food, made from scratch. I ordered bean (veggie) tacos which were scrumptious. Also, loved their french fries. Amazing service, I definitely do recommend this place.

What a wonderful find. You can order at the counter and eat at one of the tables or you can order in advance and have it for pickup. The food is excellent, really top notch, and the menu is not just your standard fare, it's fare with flair. Highly recommend.

One of my favorites in town. Go-tos are chicken salad, sidewinder fries and lemon-garlic hummus, but honestly I have never had a single non-delicious thing on the menu.

We ordered takeout from her yesterday and it was one the best meals we've had in Waynesville. We have the folkmoot + cobb salads, chicken + waffles, pimento cheese dip, and sidewinder fries. It was all well-seasoned, fresh, and delicious. Reasonable prices too. Highly recommend.

One of the best surprises when I visited Lake Junaluska. We tried BBQ quesadilla, Folkmoot Salad and Mats Special. All the food were very tasty, flavorful and most importantly fresh. Can’t wait to try other options in the menu on our next visit. I, 100% recommend this place.
