Restaurants in Sylva

“Fonda Cactus is the best authentic Mexican food in the area. I always get their Quesabirrias because they are just so delicious! The owners are very nice, caring people. This is an all-around fabulous place to eat.”

“We love White Moon! The coffee is great! The food is awesome and a nice variety of options. It’s cozy, a great spot to meet and all the employees are friendly and welcoming.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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”

“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.”

“Everything, never have I been disappointed! The plus side your right next to Innovation. Great combo….”

“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!”

“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!!”

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

“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.”

“This place is fantastic!!! The food is great too!!! Another plus is it affordable!!! Oh did I mention that this place is clean??? Try it you won’t regret it!!! God bless this business!!!”

“By far, some of the best wings you can get. Philly Cheese steak was very good. Service was fantastic. Booth seats need a little padding to make them a bit comfortable.”

“Staying in Bryson and toured out this way. Wonderful food, beer and service!”

“So we found them heading back home, stopped for a snack and a glass of wine. The owner offered a carton for taking any leftovers home…..😂 Absolutely delicious! Their infused honey and local cheeses🔥, definitely coming back if we get back to North Caroline!”

“Fany’s Island Kitchen catered our agency’s Christmas party, and everyone loved the food! It was delivered on time, fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious.”

“Want to give a HUGE shout out to the young ladies working the Waynesville location 6/5/24! You ladies made my girls day after a breakup! Y’all made her feel amazing and your empathy was radiant! Great job ladies! Keep up the good work!!”

“The macarons are perfect! ( delicate, crisp, chewy inside - so good!) Recommend 100%”

“We have always had a great eating experience at Colimas. The food is fresh, flavorful and priced right.The waitstaff are very friendly and welcoming. Our go-to place for Mexican food.”

“I've been trading with Mr Ralph Carico for at least 2 years and so far, he’s very good, intuitive Trader, honest, and you can trade fractional shares, which is a huge advantage for those who are starting out with smaller accounts/amount. Plus, He’s trustworthy and regulated account manager Ralph Carico”

“We take out are food and it has all way been very good!! The meat very soft and very good taste .”

“I would recommend the fried seafood platter! I got the fried oysters and shrimp. the oysters were sweet and not over cooked like most seafood resturants! next time we go im going to try the raw oysters and have more fried oysters. I couldn't believe we could find such freash tasting oysters here in the mountains!”

“It was amazing best food I’ve had ever!!”

“I had the spring rolls and Pho Combo (beef and meatballs). Honestly, the spring rolls were rubbery, and perhaps it's just that I am not accustomed to that texture. I didn't like it. The Pho was tasty, but the meatballs were ALSO rubbery. I am not usually a "texture" person, but I really didn't like the texture of the meatballs.”

“This is a favorite in Sylva, would recommend!”

“This fall I hosted a silent art auction fundraiser for a nonprofit at Sylva Social. As a nonprofit, we are always looking for unique ways to fundraise and Sylva Social is such a special spot, I knew it would be perfect for an art auction. I met with Jessica and Hunter and they were accomodating from the start and really invested their time into my creative vision. The evening of the event, Hunter and Jessica showed up ready to tackle tasks and lend a hand where needed. I felt supported the entire evening but not in a overcrowded way. Sylva Social is located in downtown Sylva and all the downtown fun is easily accessible from this location. The art event just so happened to have coincided with another event so the streets were full of people and the town was alive. Sylva Social is modern, yet warm (wood floors, large windows) venue and the kind, thoughtful and creative staff make it the best choice for your next event. Its a win!”

“Great food and great service!”

“Family owned diner with good food. We have eaten there for years. My kind of pkace”

“Make sure your expectations are for a restaurant in a college town. Great chicken fingers that are hand breaded and great cheese pizza. Long time Speedy's customer and have ordered three times at this location. Two cheese pizzas and they were fantastic , especially ordered in and fresh. Ordered a large deluxe pizza for $24.00 and very disappointed with the amount of toppings. Maybe 8 slivers of green peppers. It was a good pizza just not for the money. Order a cheese pizza and it should be really good. Hopefully they can figure it out and become a main stay in Cullowhee.”

“Second time ordering a slice of cheese pizza. The first time about a month ago during their “soft opening”, that slice was excellent. This evening, not so good. Skimpy on the cheese, too much tomato sauce on the upper half, very little cheese on the upper half, not very tasty or appealing ☹️”

“Beautiful store and a wonderful mission. The staff are amazing and so incredibly helpful. I still have a few years before my daughter goes to the prom but that didn’t stop them from letting her try on multiple dresses and encouraging her. We will definitely be back!”

“Hunt Brothers Pizza is a great pizza for anybody searching for really good tasting food the employees are always very respectful their Pizza is also never undercooked or overcooked it is always just right with a perfect amount of toppings”

“awesome restaurant! ive ordered from here for both doordash and in person, and they never disappoint. food is always hot and fresh. the carhops are always incredibly kind and go over your order before hand-off to make sure everything is correct. service is quick as well. eating here is always a pleasure :)”

“Always amazing excellent chicken street tacos.service is always the best very friendly.restaurant is clean.has limited parking in front but around back has plenty of parking. For sure stop in and try.”

“People behind the counter were speedy and absolutely the sweetest people ever. The food tasted amazing too :)”

“The best pizza this side of Italy! Love the new cocktails on the menu as well.”

“Good place to hang out. Cool”

“The pizza was so delicious!”

“I don't recommend going to sylva waffle house around midnight. I had just left my brother's house and was traveling home when I saw a homeless guy walking. I stopped and gave them a ride so the guy could warm up. I let him out near the waffle house and continued home, when I realized the guy left his tobogen. I returned to the area where I last saw him and heard that he was close to waffle house, so I go in there. there's the cook, which acted kind and professional, a customer & the waitress. the waitress was very nice to me until she learned that I was looking for this homeless guy to give him his hat back. she began to frown and changed her whole demeaner. I am male and have long hair and had been wearing a hat earlier. I didn't realize it at the moment but my hair was messed up some. the waitress just got a blank stare on her face and for the most part was being rude and then reminded me that the guy wasn't there.kind of prompting me to leave . the cook spoke up and said, "I think he wants to order."had she not been avoiding me she would've seen that I had a menu in my hand, reading it. I decided not to order and just go home and eat. when I went outside,to get in my car either the cook or the rude waitress pushed her car lock remote causing the horn to sound as if to make sure I didn't steal something. it's funny how people judge others negatively because you look different or you tried to help someone out. if I had the power, I would fire that waitress on the spot. very disturbing. sad part about it is that my coat was worth more than she made in a week. yet she treats me like I'm some kind of vagabond. not only did that happen Saturday 14, Jan. she wouldn't even answer the phone. there was one customer in the store when I tried to contact them by phone if you can't be nice and considerate while doing a job like that, you have no business working there”
