“Friendly, knowledgeable staff, good selection of seafood prepared a variety of ways, not cramped at all but usually busy. Dining available indoors or outdoors along a gorgeous mountain stream, complete with patio heaters and firepit. First class dining experience!“
“Easily the busiest place in Sylva. You wouldn't expect to find a fairly popular brewery here but it's located right off main. Offering food and live music too. Took the bartender forever to even pay attention to us though. Sat right at the bar and watched him help 3 or 5 people before us. So I guess if you have nothing else to do in Sylva then you just come here because it's the most active place in town. Overall would be back cause the server was nice when he did come over.Cool open atmosphere and they have lots of merch“
“We came to Balsam today and interacted with tristian, Morgan, isaiah and walked away feeling extremely taken care of. There was another customer who intoxicated and trying to interact with us, but the staff stepped in and made us feel unbelievably comfortable and looked after. Before this interaction even took place, the staff was already personable and kind. As a woman, these kinds of interactions with staff are so important and I am so happy to have met them today. Thank you staff from the bottom of my heart!“
“We just loved LuLus. When you walk in you're in this relaxed but bustling main dining area with a cosmic light up petite bar area with a handful of stools and an airy feel. We passed on indoor dining and headed out to the back deck which was open aired and quite quiet. The food was so good, just wish we couldve tried more We quickly agreed to share the fried green tomatoes and Trout po' boy, and Wow did it deliver. We got the Trout loaded with fries and rings and it was Very fresh and the FGT were out of this world. I Cant wait to revisit this Gem in Sylva when I'm back in town. Great Ambiance, with prompt and friendly serviceDon't miss out!“
“Super good food. Great place to have breakfast every morning if you're within 25ish minutes.Dietary restrictions: My wife has a gluten allergy, and frankly this is one of the most conscious restaurants with a simple, yet full and comprehensive gluten free menu. Most of their menu items are gluten free.“
“It's a nice place with a nice atmosphere. The food is good. I got the original Philly Cheese Steak sandwich. It was good but quite plain tasting. To be honest I was a quite disappointed that it did not have cheese whiz. I think it has provolone, which is a good cheese but it has no flavor when paired with the intense flavors of the meat, onion, and peppers. If they want to call it the original Philly Cheese Steak they really should be using cheese whiz.“
“Probably my favorite place to eat in Sylva besides Josh's Backstreet Takeout. Love their Caesar wraps and grilled chicken sandwich, and weekly wing flavor specials that are always A++ (got the pineapple wings on a whim this week and was surprised at how good they were). Good quality wing in and of itself which is a must for a place that serves wings. Only a few times did I get a super small portion or had part of my order missing or wrong. They are nice, just double check your order before you leave if ordering takeout!“
“We were seated immediately. Our meal was delivered to the table in about 5 minutes after ordering! Great friendly service! Excellent food. You need to try their brisket, burnt ends baked beans, potato salad, and collared greens. You're gonna love it! Come hungry!“
“Solid food and drinks but they changed the menu which was not a good decision. All of my favorites have been removed. I hate when restaurants do this. I understand changing it up, but to remove many of my favorite things is disappointing and the new things weren't nearly as good.“
“Food truck typically here, huge open spaces for plenty of guests. They have a lot of merch for sale and it seems they have a lot of cool events going on. When we got here it was Taylor Swift trivia - so cool! Staff were very friendly and helpful with letting us try different samples.“
“Happy to have found this place. We visited on a Thursday right as they opened so it wasn't too busy. We ordered the filet mignon and it was cooked to perfection. I actually really loved the side of vegetables, they were well seasoned and tasted better than most veggies you come across at a steak house. We will be back when we are in the area again.“
“Stopped here this morning and to my surprise they have a spicy red Chille coffee. Benchmark for me is Mr Bees in New Mexico. Absolutely fantastic flavor, equal to my favorite. No one has ever come close to Mr Bees. Counter staff (I assume the owner) is pleasant and the order was made quickly. Highly recommend this place!!Kid-friendliness: No inappropriate material or behavior.Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor entrance with wide door.“
“Finally made it to River and Rails and I have been wanting to try this place for awhile. We walked in on a Saturday afternoon around 12:30PM. We did have to wait for a bit for someone to notice us and take us to be seated. We picked to sit outside and didn't have anyone to come to us in about 10 minutes plus we were getting a little cold so we came back inside to sit. Of course had to get some drinks. I went with the 120 House Margarita which was pretty good and at $10 not bad. The bar was backed up so did take a little for drinks but our waitress did give us a heads up. Would for sure some here to watch a game since they have a lot of drink options plus cheap drinks like $2 Busch Light and $3 PBR Tall Boys. I will say the menu is loaded with amazing sounding options. They had all day Brunch options that sounded great then bar and Southern food too. They had a soup of the day which I had to try which was Cajun Clam Chowder. It was great! Great flavor and spices, full of clams and was the perfect consistency . Not to thick like many chowders I have had. I took awhile to make a decision but I ended up going with the Country Catfish & Grits which I got Cajun Cornmeal Fried (Blackened is also an option) which is topped with Cajun Cream Sauce. Of course sign me up. Our food came out and it looked great. Large piece of fish, rich Cream Sauce, Cheesy Jalapeno Grits, and with my Greens on the side. This was great and I would for sure get it again. They even make there own hot sauce which I loved too. Everyone we were with also enjoyed there food since everything was delicious. The only reason for 4 and 5 five stars was due to the service which again wasn't bad just a little slow. We will for sure be back maybe for some drinks and great food.“
“Yum! Kristen greeted us with a cheerful welcome and continued the outstanding service throughout our entire experience of picking our on tap and lunch. I highly recommend stopping in post hike to recover with an awesome meal and drink. Thanks for the excellent service, food and experience!“
“So, I understand that placing an order in a drive-thru can be challenging for some people, but the new signage detailing how an individual should order appropriately is juvenile and condescending. I love Starbucks, and this one does it right, however, lose the sign. No one needs to be talked down to when ordering their $6 coffee.“
“HARD TO FIND lol huge sign on the side of building but entrance is a small door past where you’d expect. We walked into a pizza place and tried to order beer. OOPS. Service is better here than the other innovation location but it may of just been the time of day we came.They have a big selection, cool vibes with darts and do half pours!!“
