The nicest people you will ever meet! Everything you would hope a stop along the way would be. Great atmosphere, clean, new Field. The people are amazing. The coffee was excellent. I didn’t try the food but I saw many plates and people looked very happy and the food looks delicious. Highly rated!

Stopped here for a late breakfast on our way back from Pigeon Forge TN.
Parking lot was pretty full despite the amount of open tables inside, but we found one irregardless. Don’t let the looks fool you, this is a very nice and cozy place inside!
Seating was at our leisure, so we opted for a small table to the left of the bar area where our kiddos would disturb the fewest folks. This place was very clean (bathrooms included) and had that down-home atmosphere that reminded me of similar places back home.
Loved the decorations and how they reflect the local culture. Very “homey” and comforting. Staff was very attentive and greeted us well. Drinks came out promptly.
The breakfast menu was well varied and had plenty of options including a Kids section. Sides could have been better displayed. Overall, breakfast here is akin to Waffle House mixed with local flair. Standard breakfast mixed with some interesting one-offs.
Wife enjoyed a standard egg/meat/side breakfast. Kiddos had pancakes, which were large. Non-issue there:). I opted for the Irishman Omelette which was corned beef hash with Swiss cheese in an omelette. Side was hash browns with toast. I opted for toast over biscuits.
Food arrived quicker than expected and was well prepared. Hash browns could have been cooked a little longer and given a bit more crispiness, but they were still good. Perhaps options for add-ons for that would be good.
Kiddos asked for syrup for the pancakes and that took quite a bit of time to get.
Price was decent for the food quantity. Mine was $14 and it was more than I could eat. Kiddo’s food was $6-$8 each and seemed a little high given that kids dont always eat much. Wife’s meal was $10 and seemed appropriate for the quantity.
Overall a good experience and would definitely love to visit again to try their lunch menu and some of the baked goods in the glass case up front!

We had the best experience at Haywood 209 Cafe! This small-town spot has such a warm, welcoming atmosphere and delicious comfort food. The highlight for us was the chocolate cake — rich, moist, and absolutely decadent. It was the perfect sweet ending to our meal.
A huge shout-out to our server, Kayley, who was so friendly and attentive. She made sure everything was perfect and truly made our visit special. We’ll definitely be back! ✨

I’m from out of town, eating here on my relative’s recommendation. Great good, great southern atmosphere.
Food was prepared and served in a reasonable amount of time given how many of us there were sitting together. The outdoor seating was pleasant for the warm fall day. I got a burger, and I’d love to try the catfish next time.

I love Everytime that I stop in at 209 the atmosphere is already just right for the day and the food is never a waste.! Generiis and down home love it! But now I have a bonus reward whenever we stop in to eat! Kayley is always the light of the room when you walk in! Always smiling very courteous and attentive to a customers needs! She is always so swift and precise and has the best attitude and welcome tone about her! Our drinks are never empty questions never unanswered and always feeling welcome and wanted! She never stops going! Will always be my first request anytime I stop and eat in the future!

Absolutely amazing. Being attached to a gas station might make it look meh but they dont miss. Favorite overlooked spot in town. Locals will always point you here and for good reason.

We had an absolutely incredible experience at Haywood 209 Cafe! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, welcoming, and full of that genuine small-town charm that’s so hard to find these days.
The food was outstanding — true comfort food done right. You can tell they take pride in serving hearty breakfasts, classic diner favorites, and homemade desserts that make you feel right at home.
But what truly made our visit unforgettable was our server, Kayley. She was attentive, kind, and incredibly personable — the perfect balance of professionalism and friendliness. Kayley anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, kept everything running smoothly, and made us feel like valued guests rather than just another table. Her positive energy genuinely elevated the entire dining experience.
If you’re looking for amazing food paired with exceptional service and a welcoming environment, Haywood 209 Cafe is an absolute must-visit. We will definitely be back — and we’ll be asking for Kayley again!

I love finding these local diners. This was part of a gas station bldg. but totally separate complete with chrome chairs. Nice outdoor patio too. I didn’t try any of the baked goods in the case but they sure looked yummy. I would have given them more starts but they couldn’t poach an egg and the over easy egg was kinda slimy. That won’t keep me from going back though.

It was absolutely fabulous! We went in for a late breakfast and ended up sharing the larger rainbow trout dinner, which was excellent!!! Audra K. Was our server. She was extremely helpful in telling us about their selections, including they’re locally sourced meats and home made dishes. We splurged and got the chocolate pie for dessert…yum yum yum yum yum! We put this in our favorite places to go since we travel a lot and we expect to try more things on the menu next time. Thanks to the chef and the staff for a wonderful experience.
