Restaurants in Bryson City

“What a wonderful diner! We enjoyed meeting everyone!! Yall are the best.”

“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.”

“If you're ever in Bryson City you must get the Friiters At Honey Bear's Cupcakery!!”

“They have the best skinny margaritas in Bryson City, and we know because we tested skinny margaritas at all three this past Saturday! It's funny how testing them all in one day made it a clear as a side by side test. Hands down!4 Queens had the best and the view from the patio was just icing in the cake!”

“Best sandwiches my family has had in a long time. I have picky kids and they loved it. The Italian Turbo sandwich was amazing. Worth stopping in Bryson City for this delicatessen.”

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

“Great salsa and chips. Food came quick and was exactly what we ordered. The food tasted fresh. Portions were big.”

“Have to leave this place a review since I've come here almost every day.

I only tried one of their beers because I'm not an IPA guy and kinda fussy but they had a Mexican lager option that was perfect for the summer heat and boy is it enjoyable. Crisp, light, but flavorful. I can only assume that whatever they brew that's in your flavor wheelhouse is equally as good.

The adjacent food truck SLAPS so hard we ate their twice in two days here. Food was up and down in Bryson City being a small town but they are top class.”

“Wife and I took the GSMR and when we returned we decided to give it a try. Sign said “Best Burger in Town “ so we got a Mushroom Burger and a Slaw Burger with Fries and Tots! Burgers were cooked perfectly and the Fries and Tots were super crispy and Hot!!! Young Man brought it to the Table and was very polite!! Highly Recommended Support Local Business!!!”

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

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

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

“It’s on my Bucket List for sure!”

“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.”

“This bakery did not disappoint. Everything we had was spot on, and after our first visit we ended up visiting three days in a row during our stay in Bryson City.

The seasonal stuffed croissant was an absolute masterpiece. It was like experiencing a four-part harmony where every person hit their note perfectly.

From the pastries to the coffee, everything was fresh, delicious, and clearly made with care. If you’re visiting Bryson City, this place is a must-stop. We can’t wait to come back.”

“Coffee was so good- milk options are a plenty as are syrups! Bagels are 10/10! Came with a group of friends and we all thoroughly enjoyed. Joe and his team are kind and this coffee shop is definitely worth the stop.”

“This is a wonderful place! Simple fare that exceeds expectations, excellent coffees, and a great experience!”

“We stayed down the street for an impromptu work trip return adventure. We stopped in on our way back from dinner, the putt putt drew us in, but Tank sealed the deal! The ice cream was delicious, the wife enjoyed the drink options. Spent quite a bit of time here between the putt putt, cornhile and just hanging out around the fire pit. Will definitely be back in the winter, they turn the putt putt course into an ice skating rink! Say “hello” to Tank if you stop by, but be careful, he’s a charmer!”

“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!”

“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!”

“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.”

“I have been going to Heavenly Fudge since I was a kid 15 years ago. It was always one of my family's highlights when going to the mountains. Now, as an adult, every year for my birthday we make the 2.5 hour trip just to get some Heavenly Fudge. It's nostalgic for me I'll admit, but I can't understand how anyone could say the fudge is bland. I've personally never had that experience, and like I said I've been there a lot.

My personal favorites are the chocolate, chocolate pecan, and peanut butter fudge. They melt in your mouth and are fabulous with a glass of cold milk on the side. The mint melt aways and chocolate turtles are also delicious.

A word to the wise where the dry comment was mentioned. As soon as you get the fudge home put it in a zip lock bag and let as much air out as possible. Keep it wrapped in the paper you're given. This keeps it moist for up to a week while you enjoy it.

I'll keep coming back for Heavenly Fudge year after year. The Fudge Shop down the street ain't got nothing on it. The customer service is great and they are always willing to let you sample. This small family business is a one in a million find.”

“Best gluten free pizza ever had.”

“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.”

“Food was good and hot. Drive through was backed up and inside was slow as well, did not appear that they had enough people working. The girl doing the register seemed to also be tending to.thw drive through as well.”

“The food was great and fresh! The salsa had taste and spice to it! If you’re from out of town and used to flavorful salsa, then this restaurant has that! The inside is a little outdated, but if you don’t care about esthetics, I’d 100% recommend the restaurant for its food! We had a party of 7 and everyone was highly satisfied!”

“Absolutely amazing pizza 🍕”

“We came up for a pre party for my little sisters wedding and had the time of our lives! The wait staff was amazing considering we had a party of over 30 people. The wings were fantastic and the beer selection was great! Live music was the cherry on top! We definitely recommend and hope to come back soon!”

“Hey all. My wife and I brought our two year old twin boys to Bryson City for the second year in a row for the polar express. We tried Bryson City Brewery already, but for reasons that need not be mentioned, we wanted to look for a different family friendly spot. Gave you guys a try tonight and man. What a great experience! The Santa, kids karaoke, holiday drinks and the grinch?!? Come on! That is how you do a holiday family friendly bar/restaurant experience in December! Santa was so welcoming. Karaoke was super fun and the grinch stole the show! Thank you guys!! We will absolutely be back!”
