text: The Tryon House is as oldschool southern diner that is been around long before diners or Southern food became cool again The ageing interior definitely bears witness to this While I am partial to both my meal at the Tryon House did the job and little elsennLike all good diners the Tryon House has blue plate specials the holy trinity of a meat veggie and a starch The blue plate special are around In my case it was a hamburger steak covered in yellow onions and brown gravy green beans and yams While not impressive or particularly flavorful the food sticks to your ribs And of course its served with a complementary chicken soup more like chicken broth and cornbread nnOur waitress was quick if not hurried for no apparent reason She literally whisked herself after every order refill and How is everything going That Is a bit unnerving but I did not have high expectations at a diner Will I go back Hmmm maybe Like all good diners I am sure Tryon House has that one dish that really defines them think Grecian Chicken at Teds or fried squash at Crown Point Tryon House is certainly not a destination for me but its cheap and near my job It seems like fair bet for lunch if I am craving diner fare
