Loved it. Eclectic and good honest homemade food. Great view with attentive service.
Great food. Quick service. They always have a lunch special and it's always been good
Pleasantly surprised. Actually grilled with great flavor. No complaints at all. Friendly service
We were visiting the area and decided to try lunch at The Falls. They were only open until 2pm, but were closing at 1:30. No problem. We went for the Special - Spaghetti, garlic bread, and salad. The lone server was doing an awesome job of being attentive and welcoming for the customers. Kudos to the staff and cook. :-)
Just ok. Pros:reasonably priced. Two people ate meals and shared an app for less than $30. Cons: slow service. Food was just ok. Salad was fresh, but not hearty.
Great view from patio dining area. Good food.
Nice overlock of the Toxaway Falls when it's warm enough to dine in their outdoor area.
When you're out in the North Carolina woods, where do you forage off the land? We just happened upon The Falls Cafe & Grill. It comes up quick when you're on the road so be careful getting in and out of the parking lot: your visibility in either direction is obscured. Sit outside on the covered deck and watch the falls from the lake. The food was good: a Swiss burger with cheese and mushrooms was mine. Like several other restaurants we dined at during our trip, the cafe was understaffed, which they apprised us of upfront. Be patient.
We arrived 5min before closing but were seated with a smile. We had a simple lunch, hot dog and Philly cheese steak, but it was really good. Our waitress was friendly and very knowledgeable and helpful answering a few questions I had. The ONLY problem is the limited parking. But we were told that would be addressed in the future.
This place was on my bucket list for so long, I wish I had better things to say about it. For one, I went in to ask where to park.. the two waitresses were talking bad about a customer and didn't even acknowledge me. Finally I got to ask and the woman said "be creative". We finally found parking and sat down. Our waitress was rude to us the entire time.. she helped the people that came in after us before even getting our drink order. We ordered the fried mushrooms as an appetizer, she asked if we wanted ranch or blue cheese.. I asked if we could have one of each and she said it'd be an additional charge.. I said just ranch then. She never refilled our drinks, but refilled everyone else's drinks around us. I asked for a fork three times before just getting up and finding one myself. She forgot the mushrooms so they ended up coming out after the food was gone.. and without ranch or blue cheese. Overall disappointing. The best thing I can say is the view was beautiful, and the gentleman that worked there seemed nice. They were very understaffed in the kitchen, but they still kept up with the orders pretty well.

A waitress was rude to us as soon as we were greeted. I politely asked if we could eat with our dogs outside. They said yes. I could tell the staff was stressed, so we sat outside very patiently. They knew we were out there, multiple waitresses came out delivering drinks and food. We were never greeted, never got drinks, or menus. I sat there for 27 minutes, before I realized that a table that was literally just seated, was already given drinks, silverware, and menus. It's like they were straight up ignoring us... Maybe good for locals. Made us feel like trash.
Stumbled on this place on our way home from the dragon's tail. The food was delicious. the servers were awesome. atmosphere is super inviting and relaxing. And remember always tip the servers well.
Stopped in for lunch and had an incredibly disappointing experience. Did not see the seat yourself sign and was rudely asked if I needed something by the waitress that did not ignore us. Asked if we needed to seat ourselves only to get a "yeah, there's a sign". We waited at a table outside for well over 20 minutes and we're never greeted, didn't receive menus, silverware, drinks, nothing. When a table that arrived after us was greeted and received drinks almost immediately and before anyone acknowledged us (despite seeing us sitting there as they served other tables) it was clear we were unwelcome in the restaurant and decided to leave. Overall it was an experience that made me feel like a d*** and unwelcome tourist in an extremely touristy location. Would not recommend this place to anyone from out of town who doesn't know the apparently unspoken rules to get service.
They had a sign out front letting us know all their employees got better paying jobs, after they realized they made more on unemployment, than working for the greedy lazy entitled owners of this establishment. So I didn't bother going in. Deplorable and despicable. Pay your employees more, or close your business, because you're clearly not making enough money to operate. Let someone else take over the property, and run a proper business out of it.
Didn't get a chance to try it. Very limited hours! I think it was 11am to 3pm. Nice view though.
