Big Wesser, located in the North Carolina mountains, offers a scenic creekside dining experience with awesome river views right at the Nantahala Outdoor Center. This restaurant has a laid-back atmosphere, allowing visitors to enjoy cold draft beers, music, and mountain views in a kid-friendly outdoor space. It is family and pet-friendly, featuring picnic tables and plenty of seating along the river. The menu includes options such as Buffalo cauliflower bites, fried green beans, Sherpa rice with tempeh, Philly portobello sandwich, and the highly recommended smash burger with brisket chili.
Guests have mentioned that the location is perfect for a stop on the Appalachian Trail or for those traveling via highway. While some find the food a bit overpriced for how basic it is, others enjoy the solid and fresh options like grilled chicken salad and nacho bowl that are served quickly. The service is friendly and efficient, even during busy times with rafters and bikers coming in and out. Live music during the summer enhances the experience, and visitors can relax with cold drinks while enjoying the stunning river views. Parking can be limited, and the restaurant operates on a counter-service basis. Overall, Big Wesser is a great place to sit back, refuel, and appreciate the mountains.
