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.”

“The best gluten free baked goods I have ever had! We were visiting from out of town and will definitely make a trip back to enjoy again!”

“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.”

“I just wish they had a list of beers and ciders on their website”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!!”

“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.”

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

“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!!!”

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

“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!”

“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!!”

“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.”

“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!”

“The day before my friend’s birthday my cake maker came down sick. I found this bakery the next day to see if they could accommodate me for my friends birthday. They had one non-iced red velvet cake in the back. They iced it fresh and put a simple design on it that day. I appreciate them accommodating and helping my friend have a good 34th birthday.”

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

“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 .”

“We had dinner here while visiting family in the area. The place looks nice & inviting. We chose to sit inside as the evening was a little cool. It was rather busy, tables all around us were full of ppl eating various plates of food. I noticed a table to our left & our right both had a very creamy & delicious looking Mac & cheese. I searched the menu & saw there were 2 options for Mac & cheese. One was under the kids menu section & the other was on the regular menu but with lobster, called Lobster Mac & cheese, it was $15. I thought of wow they must load the Mac & cheese with lobster for that price. I asked our waitress when she returned to take our order if the size of the Lobster mac & cheese was the same size as the ones on either table to our left or right? She looked at the table on one side of us & confirmed it was indeed the same portion size, so I then asked if it would have enough lobster in it for that price. She said that she thought it was a good portion of lobster in the Mac & cheese. So we ordered our plates & I ordered the lobster Mac & cheese. I sat there enjoying our conversation practically salivating thinking about the creamy delicious lobster Mac & cheese. When our food came out it didn't all come at once but was staggered, as the first items were brought out before the Mac & cheese, I was distracted by the other entree's when it was delivered. Well boy was I ever disappointed in what they actually delivered to our table as lobster Mac & cheese. Firstly it did not look anything like the creamy delicious looking Mac & cheese that I had pointed out to our server earlier. It was not creamy or cheesy like the other. It wasn't even the same pasta, it was relatively dry & had seasoning & onions in it & 3 teeny tiny little pieces of lobster set on top in the middle. I am not usually one to complain, but this was inedible for myself because it was full of onions, which was something I had asked the waitress about in another dish before ordering & would have thought she would have explained that the kids Mac & cheese was Not the same as the lobster Mac & cheese & also made me aware that the lobster Mac & cheese included onions. When she finally returned to our table I attempted to get her to just remove it from our bill as I wasn't going to eat it. She told me it wasn't in their policy to remove the lobster Mac & cheese from the bill & acted like she wouldn't even go ask a manager about it. I asked if I could have her remove the lobster Mac & cheese from the table & replace it with what I had actually wanted & pointed to at the other tables earlier. She finally left to I assume ask & then a couple minutes later she returned & said she was sorry but they would Not remove it from the bill or replace it with the kids Mac & cheese either! We paid our bill & I again looked at the menu on our way out to confirm that it did not describe the lobster Mac & cheese as a different pasta, having seasoning & onions in it. It did Not! First they should clearly describe the lobster Mac & cheese in the menu & secondly they should Not expect customers to pay for something they absolutely will Not eat because of hidden ingredients in their meal. This place put a bad taste in our mouth & we will Not be back while visiting family again.”

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

“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 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!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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”

“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 ☹️”

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

“Nice beer selection. Allowed us to taste before buying. The chicken tenders were over cooked but still good. Fried Brussels sprouts were really good. Filled up very quick after dark. Beer cheese is basically Mexican Queso. Definitely recommend. Burger was great. Wings were cooked well, crispy, and meaty. Cajun fries were run of the mill, but still really good. Overall I would recommend to couples for a date night or a family needing a quick bite. It has a hometown vibe and I’m glad we stumbled upon it.”

“Great food and great service!”

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

“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 :)”

“Outstanding Triple Smasher Cheese Burger today! First time at this Sonic, but not the last. IF YOU HAVE THE 2025 BOY SCOUT CAMP CARD it’s BOGO time! Just order the #3 Cheeseburger and get another FREE🎉 It’s easy to do but I did uploaded pictures. Enjoy🥳”

“The pizza was so delicious!”
