“One of my favorite aces to eat lunch. To die for carrot cak.”

“We ate dinner there on a Monday, 9/25/23 while on our 50th anniversary vacation. We chose the outdoor seating. My wife got the vegetarian tacos with a side of sweet potato tots. I got the fried shrimp tacos with a chef’s side of maple balsamic glazed Brussels sprouts. The food was fantastic and a big thanks to our server, Eliza C., who was super! We highly recommend Foragers”

“busy but clean. friendly, polite, knowledgeable waitress. great food and service. coffee cup never went low. go many times per year.”

“We stopped in for lunch after an eye appointment in Sylva. The server was attentive to our needs and took good care of us. We did note some food crumbs in the booth seat we sat in and the seats were needing some repairs as there were tears in the bench. Our food was delicious and was almost as ordered, I don't eat raw onions and requested that they be left off of my sandwich, however when I received my sandwich it was loaded with red onions. I picked them off and ate the sandwich rather than complaining.”

“Rivers and Rails is incredible! We absolutely loved their fish and chips, and the staff was so friendly and welcoming. We stopped by RNR after our rafting trip in Dillsboro and accidentally lost a wallet during our visit. Two days later, it was found under a table by a customer, and thanks to Rhonda for figuring out how to contact us and the staff (especially Sky for safely securing it), we got it back before we had to fly back to Texas! Their kindness and honesty made a big impression on us. If you’re looking for great food and even better people, definitely check out Rivers and Rails!”

“A group of us (8) decided to stop here one morning for breakfast. The service and the food was absolutely amazing. Right on the river. The blueberry pecan pancakes and bacon was probably some of the best I’ve ever had. Wish we were in town for another couple of days so we could have eaten there every day. Our server was so kind, friendly, and very attentive. Food came out super quick. Must try when you’re in town…. Now that I think about it, I might move here just to eat at Peter’s every day.”

“Wonderful food and service!!”

“My wife and I had lunch at All Fried Up this past Saturday and really enjoyed it. The food was very good, and the service was great. This is a great concept for a restaurant.”

“Stumbled upon White Moon whilst visiting Sylva. I had a lavender cold brew and it was totally perfect + a moon bowl which was substantial and such quality ingredients. Plus the atmosphere and lovely staff are such a vibe. Will definitely be back. 🌙 💕”

“Great place. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Food is delicious. I got the pastrami on rye with grilled onions. It was fantastic. I could only eat half. Warmed up the other half for dinner that night and it filled me up. If you are in Sylvania you should really give it a try. You won't be disappointed.”

“Always have a great experience at Ilda. Menu and cocktails are creative and delicious.”

“Very welcoming and a SUPER cute place! Owner is AMAZING!”

“We had two signature items from the menu that we have had many times. Not up to par this time (9-21-22). French onion soup was like warm. Mediterranean appetizer over browned. Italian pasta salad needed more oil and grated cheese. The added tofu was practically burnt and flavorless.”

“My wife and I were in town as part of our 50th anniversary vacation and had dinner on Sunday 9/24/23. I had the 10 oz sirloin with loaded baked potato and green beans. My wife had the spinach with the raspberry vinaigrette dressing. The food was awesome and the service was great! We highly recommend Boots if you’re passing through southwestern NC.”

“First time eating here! It was delicious! Brisket was so tender and flavorful, the waffle fries are so crispy and good! Service was excellent! We’ll definitely be back.”

“I just wish they had a list of beers and ciders on their website”

“It’s rare to find a place that nails every aspect of dining so well, but this restaurant truly does. Chef is outstanding! I left not just satisfied, but already looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommended to anyone who values great food, warm service, and an unforgettable experience!”

“K&M has the best seafood, delicious dishes, friendly atmosphere and amazing specials. I highly recommend the crab rangoons as an app. Blackened shrimp fajitas are heaven, the andouille PoBoy is scrumptious, Crab Cakes are amazing, hands down the best crab legs in town. They have daily specials and I haven’t had anything I don’t like. The owners are truly genuine and so kind. It’s our favorite place to eat in town.”

“The Pink Ice Cream Station in Cherokee is an absolute must-stop! The ice cream is delicious, the portions are generous, and the staff is super friendly. You can tell they take pride in what they do. The place has such a fun, welcoming vibe — perfect for families or anyone just wanting a sweet treat on a hot day. Every time I’m in the area, I make sure to stop by. Definitely a five-star spot!”

“Fun downtown spot to grab a beer and have some food from Mad batter!”

“We went here last week for the first time and it was AMAZING!! The vegetarian selection was huge and so good (we came with 2 vegetarians). As Dead fans, we were delighted with the menu items and various references to the band throughout the place. Service was fast and prices were on par. We'll be back!!”
