The Greenback Drugstore and Diner sits right beside the Greenback Heritage Museum on Morganton Road. It's the type of place where you walk in and feel like family.
The restaurant is mainly open for breakfast and lunch Monday through Saturday, but has some specials. Thursday is catfish. You can be sure to find plenty of home cooking at any time of day, though.
Whether you are
sitting at the counter, a table or a booth, there's a good
chance the staff and other customers will soon turn from
strangers to friends.
The diner is preparing to celebrate 100 years in business on Saturday, May 20. From noon to 6 p.m. at the restaurant, there will be live music, food, entertainment and storytelling.
The business is also making T-shirts and sweatshirts with the "100 year anniversary" logo. You can head over to their Facebook Page to find out when those designs will be available to purchase.
The mural on the side of the historic building boasts designs relevant to East Tennessee. There's an outline of the Volunteer State, a tri-star and "865 Life" painted on the brick.
