"Also known as the High Test Deli & Sweet Shop,this local standby—situated just over the state line in Bryson City, North Carolina—has fueled hikers, area residents, and tourists for more than a decade. The signature Cuban is a best seller, but every sandwich is customizable,with more than a dozen bread varieties, nearly as many cheeses, and all the proteins you’d expect from a top-notch deli. Still, you wouldn’t be blamed for skipping the meats altogether and heading straight for the “frozen sandwich” section, where you can choose from a creative selection of ice cream sandwiches that will challenge even the most decisive sweet tooth."

This place is an awesome deli. Probably one of the best sandwiches I have ever had was here. Sour dough pressed in garlic. This is now my go to lunch spot when I’m in Bryson City. They also have some sweet treats. Huge ice cream sandwiches. If you don’t get one of the homemade ice cream sandwiches you’re doing yourself a disservice.

This small but mighty location is a special delight. Something for everyone, but only seating for a few, so be prepared to wait or get it to-go. They do close early- 3pm. Glad we got there just in time. The serving size is perfect. Absolutely loved the chili cheese fries. We added bacon. And the Reuben- yummy!!!! Will certainly come back to try their other items and desserts.

First time vistor to Bryson City. Research said High Test Deli was a great lunch stop. 😋 It was better than great. Located for 17+ years in a reconverted gasoline station. Go in the door on your right, order your food from the very friendly staff and the many menu boards, then get assigned your table. Take in the history and enjoy your very tasty meal. You might even get a chance to say hi to Barry, the owner. This is a must stop when in Bryson City. Thank you all.

This was our favorite food place we ate at while in Bryson city! The sandwiches were yummy, the cheese curds with ranch was amazing, and the ice cream sandwiches were so good! Really impressed overall with the food and wish we had time to eat here again before we left. If they were open later in the day we would have had dinner here as well lol

5/5 across the board! Rueben was legit, my daughters loved the Turkey sandwich and chicken tenders. The wife and I ate the Cuban before we even considered taking a picture. The sweet potato fries are big and fat, as am I after eating everything! But the best of all, the ICE CREAM SANDWICHES! We had the black & white. Super friendly people that run it. Definitely a stop through if rafting the Nantahala.

If you go to Bryson City and don't stop here, that's your fault. Yes, there will be a wait. Good sandwiches, and ice cream sandwiches too. Very few places I will wait to eat at, 2 of them are in Bryson City.

I wish I could give this more than 5 stars. I had the cuban which was recommended by the owner and wow!! I have had some good cubans and this one is in the top 3 for sure. The owners are friendly and engaging as are the rest of the staff and the menu is vast so everyone can find something. This is a must stop.
