“Perdect coubtry style food, great service.”

“Best Brisket ever! After a week of staying in the area on our last day we were able to get in. Amazing food! Brisket was cooked to perfection. The chips, sweet potatoes, collards, grits and Mac n cheese were the best compliments. Husband had Turkey and Ribs and again was spot on. Do yourself a favor and eat here but go early because they do sell out.”

“Had another great lunch today. Even with the chaos of Pumpkin Fest in town the hostess was polite and organized. Our server was Mama..she is a gem. Food was delicious”

“Wow!! What a place! It is SO rare to find an establishment that has the Perfect mix of: ambiance, food, service, music, vino/drinks and Owner engagement. This place hits it out of the park. The space is magnificent. The service is second to none. They make their own wine. The entertainment was wonderful (and not overwhelming). The food is spectacular and the hosts are warm and genuine. It’s obvious this, is a labor of love. We drove in from Cashiers and will be back Very soon. Great job Dion, Cathy, Renzo and Brittany. Not to be missed!!!!!”

“Amazing, love stopping by and hanging out. Definitely recommend”

“Lazy Hiker Brewing is a gem! 🌄 Awesome location with tons of parking and a laid-back, mountain-town vibe 😎 Everything we love about North Carolina wrapped into one spot—great beer, rotating food trucks, and the friendliest crowd around. Whether you're sipping a delicious lager or grabbing bites from a local favorite, it's always a good time. Already planning our next visit—Florida girl approved ☀️🍻”

“What an absolute delight! We stumbled upon this hidden gem of an Italian restaurant, and it truly lived up to its name. From the moment we walked in, the cozy, inviting atmosphere made us feel right at home. We decided to try their pizza, and it was a revelation! The crust was perfectly crispy yet wonderfully chewy, the sauce had that rich, authentic tomato flavor, and the cheese was perfectly melted. I absolutely loved it, and the kids devoured their slices with enthusiastic approval. It’s safe to say it was a hit with the whole family! Beyond the fantastic food, the service was warm and attentive, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. This is definitely a place we'll be coming back to again and again. If you're looking for incredible Italian food in a charming setting, this hidden jewel is a must-visit!”

“The food is delicious and the people working there are so friendly and helpful. I eat there every time I possibly can.”

“Made a pit stop on the way home to the lowcountry. Hands down one of the best cafes we have stopped into. The food was delicious and just the country fixins we needed and great hospitality. Thank you!”

“Went to breakfast ,excellent food and service. It is a walk up and order place with great outside seating or inside”

“Ate at Surf and Turf tonight. Very good. Excellent service. Owner is super nice.”

“Great little brewery right in the Little Tennessee River. Staff is always super friendly, and they regularly have a food truck outside to satisfy your hunger while you throw back a pint. Burgers, fries, and beer? With a great view to boot? What more do you need? :)”

“In a world of endless dining options, it’s rare to encounter a restaurant that feels like a quiet revelation—one that doesn’t shout its excellence but simply delivers it, course after course, with such precision and grace that you leave wishing that you’d found this gem sooner. The food itself is the quiet star. Each dish arrives as a small masterpiece of balance—flavors layered with intention, textures that surprise without gimmickry. In short, this is one of the very best restaurants I’ve ever visited—anywhere. It doesn’t chase trends or demand attention; it earns it through quiet excellence. If you value food that respects both ingredient and diner, make the reservation. You’ll likely find yourself, as I did, already planning the return visit. Highly recommended—worth every moment and mile, and we come from SWFL.”

“My best friend and I live in Hayesville NC. We travel over the mountain just to eat here. We have never been disappointed in the food, service, etc. Every sandwich we have tried is great. We have a habit of testing Ruebins. Gazebo is the best that we have eaten. The soups of my. are fantastic as well. Today we we had a slice of Coconut Custard pie. Wow just Wow. it was amazing. I highly recommend anyone to eat there. April we love you. you are fantastic inside and out. Thank you for making our lunch great to the whole crew. we will definitely get photos next visit. see you all soon ❤️❤️”

“Stopped in at 6am, 18 Sep 2021 for breakfast on the way to the river to do some fly fishing. Awesome breakfast.”

“Great coffees, Milkshakes, Ice Cream, and the homemade warm, Waffle cones!!!”

“The smells of this place are so incredible they draw you in and then you're hooked!!! Everything is so delicious! Highly recommend the Bavarian donuts and the peach layered chilled dessert. Also, SUPER affordable. Pastries around $2/each. Definitely worth it every time. Service so kind and patient ❤️”

“This is a hard one to review and I want to be fair because the people are very nice. There are 5 items there that I love. The chocolate croissants, the berry tartlets, the chocolate chip cookies, the Kringle (although it has too much icing) and flourless chocolate cake are divine. I don't like cheese mixed in my pastries like cheese Danish and cheese streudal, but if that's your thing you'll be in heaven because there are many items there filled with cheese. If you're lucky they're open 4 days a week but the week of Thanksgiving which I would have thought would be a big week for a bakery they closed and the week after they're also closed for winter break. Winter hasn't even officially started yet and that's frustrating. We used to have 3 or 4 good places to buy baked goods in town and now we only have 2 this being one of them. The location sucks in my opinion. It's located in the flea market on Highlands road. It's not exactly a place I think of to buy food. If this place were located downtown on main Street with normal operating hours it would be packed with people and their business would explode. Their product is fabulous it's just hard to get. When it comes down to it the most important thing is their food is 5 star.”

“We went today and had a wonderful time. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable, the wine was great, and the setting was beautiful. We are planning on making regular visits when we come to Highlands!”

“Stopped by while passing through town and glad we did. The ice cream is fantastic, and the atmosphere was very friendly and family oriented. Will be back!”

“Best wings…Sweet and Tangy ! Smoked Mac n cheese and Mushroom appetizer, hand breaded, nice. The owner, Darrell, took the time to sit and chat with us..good ppl. Support local!”
