“Everything about the experience was top notch! The owners are very warm and inviting. The atmosphere was cozy. The food is amazing! Working in fine dining for twenty years in New York. Coming from a grandmother that cooked everything from scratch, including home made ravioli. I can say this place is truly fine dining.I thought the prices were reasonable. Where ever your coming from, it’s worth the drive! This place will not disappoint❤️”

“Just what was needed after a busy day: large serving of Mexican comfort food brought to the table by a friendly staff. The bill was not as expensive as other places I have eaten for a plate of food so full. My carryout box fed me for another meal the next day!”

“This place was nothing short of amazing! Drinks were well-crafted, service was excellent, and the food was delicious! This place is a must if you are in Bryson City.”

“This place is awesome! Better get in before the seats fill up during the busy season because it's packed constantly. They offer delivery through one of the services though if you need to. I got the double burger combo and it was huge!”

“We really enjoyed our lunch here after our hike in GSMNP. The fried pickles were a hit with our whole family. We all enjoyed the sandwiches as well!Kid-friendliness: My kids enjoyed the atmosphere here. They really liked finding license plates from every state. They were excited to go in the bathroom to find more! ?”

“Stopped by Big Laurel yesterday with a friend of mine, I want to say, Shock, the bossman behind the counter hooked me up. Everything was piping hot! Queso had a nice bit of spice to it and was very flavorful, fries were perfectly crispy. I'll definitely be back in the future!”

“There are 3 different Mexican restaurants in the general area as LA Poblana. We had been to the other two before, so we thought we'd give them a try. The parking lot was emptier than the other places when we arrived, so I was a little worried.My worries were unfounded, as we were very happy with both the food and service, and found the prices to be very reasonable.”

“We always have the egg rolls and fried dumplings for an appetizer. We normally choose the house fried rice, sweet and sour chicken and house special lo mein as our entrees.

“Cool place with good tunes. So many choices of brews with seasonal options. Main level, upstairs (inside and outside) and patio seating. Great staff with friendly conversations. Awesome food truck with yummy bites. Glad we stopped in for a visit.”

“I tried the Cactus Mexican Kitchen food truck this afternoon. It is parked in front of BC Outdoors every Thursday. I ordered the Quesadilla with New York strip. It was very good. They also included pineapple pieces and a cup of green sauce. The young lady in the take out window was very friendly.”

“This is our first time trying this food truck. I ordered the Havana, which is basically a Cuban sandwich. My husband got the Greek. Both were very good. They give you the option of French fries or homemade chips. The chips were hard and over cooked. I would recommend getting the fries. All and all it was a good experience.”
