“We had a great experience at Guy’s restaurant! The place was very clean, the staff was extremely friendly and our food was fresh and delicious. Portions were big. The bacon Mac and cheese burger was delicious! The burger hung way off the bun and the onion straws were a nice addition. It was my birthday, so I indulged in the cheesecake. Dude! They gave me a whole half!!! of cheesecake that came with potato chips and pretzels on it, drizzled with chocolate syrup. Potato chips were a bit odd, but the pretzels were awesome on it! ?❤️ Our waiter was very kind, the bus boy was very busy cleaning up after people and when we finished, he immediately came over and offered to take our plates. It was a wonderful meal and we will be back our trip up!“

“We were there in February 2023. We found this way after a long trip to the food court which was closed! After being disappointed the food court was closed the Strikes Lounge more than made up for that. The beer cost less than inside the casino and super close to the areas we were playing in AND you can take your beer from there to the casino. The food we had was hot tasty and very inexpensive. Our server was so personable and checked in on us every time she was walked by (which was very often). We were well cared for and tipped very well. This is now our go to for beers and food.“

“We went to the Battersea Power Station branch on a Wednesday evening and were pretty excited as it was our first time at this (or any other) Gordon Ramsey restaurant. We liked the concept and atmosphere and the pizza was worth the money. However, the service let the whole thing down - huge waits for drinks, a dessert and our bill (despite polite reminders). When we then said we were unhappy to pay the 15% service charge automatically added to the bill as a result of these issues, it took 3 tries and 2 people for them to charge us the right amount! We ended up the only table left, very tired and keen to leave, but still trying to pay the right amount.“

I had a German Pilsner, a seasonal porter, and a really good sour (blueberry cheesecake maybe?). They were all excellent. The upstairs with the rooftop looked pretty cool. I ran up there just to see what it was like. The vibe was a bit more lively up there for sure. Great location right on the river in the heart of Bryson City.“

I loved getting to essentially sample pork, shredded and ground beef, and pulled chicken with all the typical Mexican toppings across 3 different dishes (tamale, taquitos, nachos). The portions were certainly plentiful as well, I was very satisfied with the visit.“

We had to wait about 10 minutes for a table, which was very reasonable for a busy Friday. We were greeted promptly, received our drink order quickly, and our food arrived in a reasonable amount of time. Our food arrived hot and was exactly how we ordered it. One minor complaint was the queso was very runny and would pretty much drip off of the tortilla chips back into the bowl or onto the table. It tasted fine, but was very thin. Overall, a great experience and we'll be back.“

“A little belated with the review but better than never. Came in on July 4th while enjoying the town and being a huge fan of wings we had to give CJs a try which made for a perfect 4th! Shout out to the bartender who went above and beyond for both bar patrons and those dining in all in the midst of the holiday chaos. The wings were hands down some of the best I've ever had! Jumbo, juicy, and full of flavor between the cajun garlic and Sriracha bourbon! I can not wait to come back and try other flavors! Last but not least...My 4th was really made by walking into a WNC bar that actually has Fan Duel Sports Network to watch my Braves that night and all season! Thanks for a great experience all around and to the hard working staff on the 4th!“
