“We stopped in for breakfast and it did not disappoint! The staff were friendly, service was quick and the food was delicious! AND they had a 100% sanitation rating. That is very difficult to achieve in the restaurant world. I would recommend this deli for breakfast or lunch. The lunch menu looked delicious as well, as did the homemade ice cream sandwiches. I wish we were not leaving today - I would go back!”

“Great experience and awesome food!”

“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!”

“In Bryson city for a couple days to mountain bike Tsali and hike Andrew’s Bald. Stopped her last night. Great beer. Nice place. Tonight I decided to try Bryson city brewing. I got a simple pale ale. Damn near. Couldn’t finish it. Place was very touristy too. Went back to mountain layers had another VERY good beer ( they have beer award medals all over). I mentioned where I had been right before and what I assume is a regular said “ I’m sorry!)”

“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!!!”

“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.”

“Best Food and Beer we've had yet in Bryson City. Do yourself a favor and get the Fried Deviled eggs with the Bacon Jam and a Native Girl Blonde to wash it down. DELICIOUS!! Headed back today for the Chicken Livers!”

“This place is THE BEST. Definitely visit!!! I dream of their pastries and their coffee. It's ruined me for anywhere else, truly. You can tell everything is made of excellent ingredients and with love for the craft, by lovely people. And the connected store is my favorite! Anything they sell is good quality and so unique. I scheme of ways to make a trip to Bryson City just to eat and shop here.”

“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.”

“Amazing place for breakfast. I had the Charleston Bowl, oh my word delicious. My sister and aunts had gravy and biscuits. Everything was fabulous. The latte was the best I think I’ve had. Cannot recommend this place enough! Too full to try any bakery items but hope to soon!”

“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!”

“Five stars simply does not do a place like this justice! My girlfriend and I stopped by after our ride on the GSMR, and it was a phenomenal time! We both were treated so kindly by Pop's and we got to pet on Tank, who is just the cutest dog! The recommendations Pop's gave us has us wishing they had a location back home in Missouri! His soda shop will absolutely be a first stop next time we vacation out this way, and I would EXTREMELY recommend this to anyone looking to quench their thirst with a tasty treat! Thank you, Pop's, for creating a fun atmosphere that had us talking about you and your shop the entire drive back to our cabin!

“Best burrito BACON & SAUSAGE ever! Really flavorful. Cooked with love(butter) and garlicy potatoes. Im impressed and Im a dam good chef myself. We returned 2 days later and added a ham and cheese omelet and homemade biscuit. Best breakfast out ever. Thank you!”

“Always great food and service when we go to Bryson City annually. Authentic Mexican dishes, good beer selection, and full bar. I had their pork dinner for the first time, and it is my new favorite dish on their menu. Portions are a good size.”

“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!”

“Absolutely amazing pizza 🍕”

“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.”

“Best gluten free pizza ever had.”

“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!”
