This Tennessee Diner Has Fried Honey Buns That Are Melt In Your Mouth Good
Tennessee is a state that has managed to capitalize on its southern hospitality and affinity for biscuits and gravy with a few fabulous restaurants and general stores, but this tiny hole-in-the-wall really takes the cake. Greenback Drug Store & Diner is located in Greenback, Tennessee, and it has long had the heart of locals. But now we have a feeling of few out-of-towners may make their way to this delicious diner to try out a honey bun or two.
Friendly service and homemade meals reign supreme here in Greenback, Tennessee, where the locally owned and operated Greenback Drug & Co adds a bit flavorful depth to the community.
The space is small with no frills, but it makes up for the tiny storefront with a whole lot of delicious menu items and an explosion of flavor.
The diner serves breakfast and lunch, with a cup of piping hot coffee on the side. It's been in operation since 1923, which means this Greenback locale has honed its dining expertise for almost an entire century.
Good country fare is always fabulous, but these rural cooks know how to deep fry a honeybun! The signature dessert is served with vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup and goes for $3.59 a pop. Easy, hefty, and the best way to end a meal of cheeseburgers and grilled chicken, it's become something of a local legend.
Bring your friends, bring your family. Try the Cherokee Buffalo Chicken, covered in ranch and Buffalo sauce, or come early to indulge in the Giant Pancake for a mere $5.19. Easy on the wallet and heavy on the stomach, Greenback has you covered.
You can visit for yourself at 6729 Morganton Road in Greenback, Tennessee, from 8am to 5pm Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, from 8am to 8pm on Thursdays, and 8am to 2pm on Saturdays. Keep in mind this local joint isn't open on Sundays! Happy eating, friends.
