About Tapoco Tavern

Tapoco Tavern is a charming riverside restaurant that offers a delightful dining experience. The establishment boasts a fantastic atmosphere, with a beautiful location next to the river and a spacious outdoor seating area, including a covered patio and bar along the Cheoah River. The food is praised for its casual upscale pizzas, trout, and Southern dishes like the smothered chicken. The trout bites and sweet potato fries are popular highlights, with the latter considered possibly the best. The sound of rushing water adds to the relaxing ambiance. Service is generally pleasant, though it can be slower when the place is busy, as noted during crowded times. Prices tend to be high, about double compared to other local spots, but reflect the quality and setting. Parking is tight and managed by attendants. Tapoco Tavern is known for its friendly and welcoming staff, creating a warm and inviting environment. It is also appreciated for its family-friendly and accessible atmosphere, making it a great choice for a wide range of customers.

My family and I had lunch there today and the food was amazing! Our server, Matt, was really funny and relatable. Victoria was also very nice and attentive. The view outside is gorgeous and I would recommend eating there on a sunny day!
