The Rivers and Rails Tavern Reviews
We used to LOVE coming here—like, this was one of our go-to spots. The atmosphere was fun, the karaoke nights were a blast, and the menu actually had solid options we looked forward to.

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!

My husband and I spent the weekend in the area, celebrating an anniversary. We spent Friday and Saturday evenings sitting at the bar with some locals. We had the BEST time! We were welcomed with hospitality, kindness, and suggestions. A very nice man even bought our dinner on Friday night. I have already told so many people about Rivers and Rails Tavern, and I will continue to spread the word. Thank you for such a warm welcome to Dillsboro!
