Best gluten free pizza ever had.
We took the Smokey Mountain 🏔 Train and it stopped here. Train brakeman said we only had an hour stop and we might not get our food in time. It wasn't that crowded and we were lucky and got our food quick. Had the pilled chicken sandwich and was honestly thr best I ever had. Cole slaw and pickles piled on. So good! Service fast , food amazing atmosphere incredible
I remember when the NOC parking lot was dirt and gravel (with huge rain puddles) and there was a small food shack on site.
The place has really changed over the years and for the better. The pub is a great addition and the Adirondack chairs everywhere is great as well.
I loved sitting riverside with a pint, telling my wife about the area and reminiscing about the past. The Nantahala area will always be magical to me and I’m so glad we moved to the area finally!’

Big Wesser Riverside Pub is a popular spot located right on the river at the Nantahala Outdoor Center, making its setting one of its biggest attractions. Surrounded by beautiful mountain scenery, the pub offers a unique outdoor, covered shelter where visitors can enjoy the view and relax. The location is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, especially those on the Appalachian Trail or visiting via highway, as it provides a great place to stop for bar food and drinks. The atmosphere is lively, with a steady flow of rafters, bikers, and visitors, contributing to a vibrant environment. During the summer, live music adds to the enjoyable vibe, and cold drinks are always within reach. The river nearby is perfect for wading and cooling off, adding to the outdoor experience.
Food options include items like grilled chicken salad, nacho bowl, burger, smashburger, and pulled pork sliders. While some meals are fresh and served quickly, reviews mention that certain dishes, like the burger, can be basic and overpriced. Beers are highly appreciated, and the staff is generally friendly and efficient. The pub is also dog-friendly, although recent changes mean Helene dogs are no longer allowed inside, except for service animals. Overall, Big Wesser Riverside Pub offers a mix of adventure, relaxation, good drinks, and scenic views, making it a great place to enjoy the mountains and river life.
