“Stopped here this morning and to my surprise they have a spicy red Chille coffee. Benchmark for me is Mr Bees in New Mexico. Absolutely fantastic flavor, equal to my favorite. No one has ever come close to Mr Bees. Counter staff (I assume the owner) is pleasant and the order was made quickly. Highly recommend this place!!Kid-friendliness: No inappropriate material or behavior.Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor entrance with wide door.“

“Absolutely amazing eatery!!!! We went with my in-laws (who go when in the area including the day prior), and were absolutely blown away!!! From the kindness of the wait staff to the Chef Kevin coming out to speak to diners, everything was 20 stars!!! Having allergy issues, they were beyond accommodating to my needs and my son wouldn't stop eating his chicken to try his French Fries - if that doesn't say it all, nothing will!!! HIGHLY Recommend to anyone and everyone who is in the mood for fantastic food and service! I wish we had taken photos, the chicken salad was HUGE and the Deep Fried Deviled Eggs are delectable, but the food was too good!!! We would have sat outside (fur babies allowed outside), but it was just a bit too cold and windyDietary restrictions: More than happy to accommodate as well as confirm through ingredient lists to avoid allergiesKid-friendliness: Coloring page menu and super friendly to kiddosWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible and accommodating in seating“

Service is better here than the other innovation location but it may of just been the time of day we came.They have a big selection, cool vibes with darts and do half pours!!“

Hubby had the chopped steak with mashed potatoes and green beans and he cleaned his plate. Will definitely come back when we’re in Dillsboro.“

“Easily the busiest place in Sylva. You wouldn't expect to find a fairly popular brewery here but it's located right off main. Offering food and live music too. Took the bartender forever to even pay attention to us though. Sat right at the bar and watched him help 3 or 5 people before us. So I guess if you have nothing else to do in Sylva then you just come here because it's the most active place in town. Overall would be back cause the server was nice when he did come over.Cool open atmosphere and they have lots of merch“

We got to watch the train go by while we enjoyed our meal. They advertised having gluten-free options, but we didn’t try them. Highly recommend!Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free“

“We came to Balsam today and interacted with tristian, Morgan, isaiah and walked away feeling extremely taken care of. There was another customer who intoxicated and trying to interact with us, but the staff stepped in and made us feel unbelievably comfortable and looked after. Before this interaction even took place, the staff was already personable and kind. As a woman, these kinds of interactions with staff are so important and I am so happy to have met them today. Thank you staff from the bottom of my heart!“

“We just loved LuLus. When you walk in you're in this relaxed but bustling main dining area with a cosmic light up petite bar area with a handful of stools and an airy feel. We passed on indoor dining and headed out to the back deck which was open aired and quite quiet. The food was so good, just wish we couldve tried more We quickly agreed to share the fried green tomatoes and Trout po' boy, and Wow did it deliver. We got the Trout loaded with fries and rings and it was Very fresh and the FGT were out of this world. I Cant wait to revisit this Gem in Sylva when I'm back in town. Great Ambiance, with prompt and friendly serviceDon't miss out!“

“Finally made it to River and Rails and I have been wanting to try this place for awhile. We walked in on a Saturday afternoon around 12:30PM. We did have to wait for a bit for someone to notice us and take us to be seated. We picked to sit outside and didn't have anyone to come to us in about 10 minutes plus we were getting a little cold so we came back inside to sit. Of course had to get some drinks. I went with the 120 House Margarita which was pretty good and at $10 not bad. The bar was backed up so did take a little for drinks but our waitress did give us a heads up. Would for sure some here to watch a game since they have a lot of drink options plus cheap drinks like $2 Busch Light and $3 PBR Tall Boys. I will say the menu is loaded with amazing sounding options. They had all day Brunch options that sounded great then bar and Southern food too. They had a soup of the day which I had to try which was Cajun Clam Chowder. It was great! Great flavor and spices, full of clams and was the perfect consistency . Not to thick like many chowders I have had. I took awhile to make a decision but I ended up going with the Country Catfish & Grits which I got Cajun Cornmeal Fried (Blackened is also an option) which is topped with Cajun Cream Sauce. Of course sign me up. Our food came out and it looked great. Large piece of fish, rich Cream Sauce, Cheesy Jalapeno Grits, and with my Greens on the side. This was great and I would for sure get it again. They even make there own hot sauce which I loved too. Everyone we were with also enjoyed there food since everything was delicious. The only reason for 4 and 5 five stars was due to the service which again wasn't bad just a little slow. We will for sure be back maybe for some drinks and great food.“

“It's a nice place with a nice atmosphere. The food is good. I got the original Philly Cheese Steak sandwich. It was good but quite plain tasting. To be honest I was a quite disappointed that it did not have cheese whiz. I think it has provolone, which is a good cheese but it has no flavor when paired with the intense flavors of the meat, onion, and peppers. If they want to call it the original Philly Cheese Steak they really should be using cheese whiz.“

“Probably my favorite place to eat in Sylva besides Josh's Backstreet Takeout. Love their Caesar wraps and grilled chicken sandwich, and weekly wing flavor specials that are always A++ (got the pineapple wings on a whim this week and was surprised at how good they were). Good quality wing in and of itself which is a must for a place that serves wings. Only a few times did I get a super small portion or had part of my order missing or wrong. They are nice, just double check your order before you leave if ordering takeout!“

“My wife and I's families decided on having our wedding party at this location and we were not disappointed! I had been here before when it was the Nantahala Brewing Company, but it must have changed hands. The staff were very patient with us, Nate was incredibly informative about the area, and JC was an excellent server! Very polite and thoughtful, even after we ran them both nearly to death. Kudos to them. I had the grilled chicken salad and it was phenomenal, and my wife said the burger was excellent. We appreciate you accommodating all of us! Would highly recommend Bryson City Brewing!“
