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.
People are friendly and engaging. Food is pretty good and reasonable priced. We love going to Tommy’s Paradise. You will too.
Tommy had a binding contract with a very talented musician this past weekend and canceled after they were almost at the venue. the musician had fans coming from 2-5 hours away. This is their livelihood. for that I say boycott Tommy's Paradise. ZERO STARS!

Tommy's Paradise is a rustic open-air Roadside Bar located on US 19 outside of Bryson City, North Carolina, and across from Nantahala Village. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes, including chicken thigh meals and wings. The chicken thigh meal is described as great, and the wings are noted to be the biggest and very tasty. The mixed drinks, including the popular liquid marijuana made by bartender Josh, are also praised for being just the right strength.
While the restaurant is generally well-liked, reviews are mixed. One customer noted disappointment over the discontinuation of the 25-cent wing special, which was a favorite on Tuesdays, and another experienced nausea after eating the wings. Despite these issues, the enjoyable atmosphere with reggae music playing in the background, especially during live music or karaoke events, makes it a popular hangout for locals and river raft guides. However, the restaurant faces challenges, including criticism for canceling a performance by a talented musician at the last minute. Additionally, there are concerns about Tommy's potentially closing permanently at the end of the 2025 season. Customers have adapted to the heat from the setting sun by bringing blankets to shield themselves until it drops below the mountain.
