Restaurants in Bryson City

“Don’t find many places like this anymore. Great food and even more the friendly staff! Nice meeting you Mr Mike!”

“The food brings me back to Oahu…only better. The location is perfect (in Cherokee and Bryson City). The service is spot on and the portion size is excellent.”

“I and my family have been eating here for almost 30 years, and I have tried almost every menu item, the best Pizza, better than NY,NY. The Sherpa is always amazing and new Onion Rings with Whiskey Sauce is the best. No matter what you are doing Whitewater, Hiking, Mntn Biking or just visiting the food is always worth it.”

“Awesome views, great service by Jack and great food. Our drinks - Piña Colada and old fashion were super delish and to find a great tasting piña colada can be a challenge but this was amazing. The feta artichoke dip was super good and great chicken Alfredo. We finished it up with a yummy cream brûlée.”

“Absolutely wonderful dining experience! Burrito was big enough to feed 3 people! Excellent chips and salsa! HIGHLY recommend!!”

“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.”

“We had tasty cocktails, a delicious dinner and wonderful service. What more could you ask for?🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌”

“amazing food with a personal touch. the steak nachos at the food truck are the best I've had.”

“Had a few beers and met some locals in the process, sitting at the downstairs bar. Great staff and great customers! I had a German Pilsner, a seasonal porter, and a really good sour (blueberry cheesecake maybe?). They were all excellent. The upstairs with the rooftop looked pretty cool. I ran up there just to see what it was like. The vibe was a bit more lively up there for sure. Great location right on the river in the heart of Bryson City.”

“Food was delicious!Staff friendly😀Great prices! Needed to turn on fans or ac being hot was uncomfortable 🤔🤦‍♀️”

“Don’t think I met Loretta, unless she is very young and has purple hair at the register. But the food seems decent, I’ll be a little on the pricey side for tots and a double cheeseburger. That being said since inflation hit in 2022, what isn’t a bit pricey.”

“Stopped on our way to Tennessee. Great food and great place to relax and watch everyone having fun on the water.”

“Been there a couple times and had the all American hot dog , honestly the best hot dog I’ve ever had ! Staff is amazing, restaurant is clean and nice , I HIGHLY recommend coming to Bryson City and giving this place a try , you won’t be disappointed!”

“Staff was very friendly and helpful. Didn't catch any names, but really appreciated their work. Food was well stocked and fresh. Sandwich was well crafted. Everything was clean. Couldn't ask for more.”

“On a couples trip to the mountains we had the pleasure of eating at Tommy's Paradise. The food was amazing and the staff was friendly as well. The Pesto Chicken Pizza was so great. We will be sure to visit again when we return to the area.”

“I bought a plain hot latte. The flavor was great. Good price, too. The atmosphere of this place was fantastic. Cozy, fun seating. Service animal friendly (edited from my original review; I misunderstood the dogs I saw there.) Friendly people and prompt service. Activities for kids that I had trouble getting my kid to finish with when it was time. The chalk station under the stairs was genius. I did not get any bakery treats as I was pretty full, but they looked amazing. My family also enjoyed browsing the store that shares space with the bakery/coffee shop. Go here if you're in Bryson City!”

“I stop annually when I pass thru the area.”

“The pumpkin spice iced latte was so good. And they were able to make me a sugar free. Not all places will do this. Thank you.”

“My family and are I are extra thankful this year for the kindness and generosity of Jeff and Pam Pulley, the owners of Mountain Perks Espresso Bar & Cafe. Two weeks ago, my kids and I came to Bryson City to ride the Polar Express train with friends. GPS said I was only .5 of a mile away from my destination, but my car got stuck on the rocky road on a very steep mountain and I had no cell service. Turns out I inadvertently got lost very high up on the mountain (later we would found out I was 20 minutes away from the house we were staying). My kids and I walked to the nearest house that had a light on, and by the grace of God, Jeff and Pam took us in and helped us. Jeff and his neighbor, Keith, also got my car out of the ditch I backed into, and my kids and I were still able to make the train ride. Jeff and Pam didn’t have to open up their door and help three complete strangers, but they did with open arms. Jeff and Keith didn’t have to get my car out, but they did. Let this story remind you that there are truly amazing people in this world; Jeff and Pam (and Keith) are angels walking among us! My kids and I visited Jeff and Pam at their coffee shop the next morning, and let me just say, their food and coffee are delicious! I highly recommend going there if you are ever in Bryson City, and they are located right across from the train station!”

“It was like walking into one of my childhood memories of one of my favorite ice cream shops. My son got his superman ice cream(classic) and he had forgotten his stuffed animal and the owner was kind enough to come back to let us get it. As an out of towner we appreciated that kindness so much!”

“Wonderful four night stay with my parents in May 2023. Food was excellent. Rooms were comfortable. Staff was very friendly as were other guests. Absolutely recommend.”

“Thank you for having the app, it's much easier to do that instead of sitting in the drive thru or dining room. I hope each of the employees that were on duty today. Wishing each of y'all a wonderful Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas!!!!!!”

“I love to eat at Iron Wok Asian Cuisine because they have a great food 🍲 and good quality food and good prices”

“we stopped in to try the bbq and eat by the river and found a true gem! The Bar-B-Que Wagon was super clean, 100 sani rating, and the food was great. We eat bbq all over and would rate this spot as top tier all day!”

“If you are visiting Brysoncity, you must check out Guayabitos. The hospitality is amazing, the drinks are well priced, and the food is delicious. We visit every time we come and it never disappoints. Come check it out”

“Had lunch there today. Our server was Toni. She did a terrific job & checked back often. My husband had the Hawaiian pizza & I had the lasagna. Food was way better here than at the Italian restaurant in town.”

“We stopped in for a dessert after a day of site seeing and the staff was extremely nice and very friendly! It was very pleasant to stop there!”

“Service, food, atmosphere was nice, Bailey and Kai were our servers and went out of their way to make sure our visit was enjoyable. Will stop by again when in the area.”

“What an incredibly fine restaurant. The service and food IS AMAZING! If you like eggplant parmesean THIS is where you can find the very best ever! I make a darn good one but Pasquale made mine look like dog food. The sauce is a heavenly experience. the plate cooked to perfection . I give this place in Bryson City ,NC. 5 ☆”
