Amazing restaurant hidden in the mountains. Food and service were excellent. Ate here after playing Springdale. Great drink options and lots of different menu options. The views on the patio are amazing. It’s right above the pin on the 18th hole. Would recommend you to try even if you’re not golfing.

The Rocky Face Tavern is consistently a great dining experience. We had a party of six and the orders were perfect, the food was wonderful and timely, the setting is warm and beautiful and the staff strikes that perfect balance of professional but friendly.

Impromptu last minute dinner with my wife. Very good as always. Had the chef's empanada appetizer special, very good and plentiful. My wife had the olive tapenade with goat cheese and pita, also exceptional. My wife ordered the chicken with goat cheese and I had the stuffed flounder. Both wonderful and bountiful. We will definitely be back!!!

Greeted immediately. Server was friendly and attentive and didn't hurry us. I had the Black and Blue salad which was delicious with the honeysuckle dressing. We always enjoy the Rocky Face Tavern. Go on a pretty day and enjoy the views and lovely outside dining areas. They also have a very large bar.

Rocky Face Tavern is our FAVORITE restaurant. We always have a wonderful relaxed experience. We love this place for a date night, celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, meet friends, or just need a peaceful place to relax that has an awesome view ❣️

Not really impressed. Server was nice but had too many tables. Food was good but the noise was pretty bad. Couldn't hold a conversation at the table. Not my favorite in the area.

Beautiful location and atmosphere. Went for NYE dinner and chose the special menu. Filet and lobster tail were ordered by both of us and I have to assume that all the entrees for the “special NYE menu” were pre-cooked at various temperatures because the filets cooked medium rare were dry, tough and had zero juice and zero flavor. Can only assume it sat under a heat lamp for a long time. It was extremely disappointing. Sides were the same. Super skinny overcooked asparagus and potatoes au gratin that were dry, cold and without flavor. Service was excellent and again atmosphere was lovely but don't expect freshly cooked if there for a special occasion/holiday.
This was our first trip to dine here and we will be back. Our NYE dinner experience here was great! Our server Nancy was amazing, drinks were nice, food was awesome, and after our dinner we went to the bar to continue our evening. The bartenders were great too, despite the place seemingly being busier than normal due to the holiday festivities.

It is one our favorite places to go. It is a great value for food, ambience, view, and service. It has a really nice family, easy going atmosphere for such awesome ‘ big league' surroundings. Well worth the 20 minutes from Waynesville. Jim DeLand, Fl
