Description

Nestled in Bryson City, this eatery offers a mixed bag of experiences. The atmosphere leans casual, with cozy outdoor spaces and a dog-friendly vibe. Some praise standout items like freshly made pretzels, flavorful wings, and fresh salsa, alongside a solid craft beer selection and unique cocktails. However, inconsistency in food portions, service, and beer availability detracts from the overall appeal. While the space is clean and the prices fair, several guests report unfriendly staff, limited in-house brews, and underwhelming bar food. Ideal for casual drinks and select snacks, but not yet a reliable dining destination.

I consider myself a bit of an expert on baked pretzels and this is by far one of the best. Crunch on the outside and soft on the inside-can’t beat it. I hope this is how it always is prepared and mine wasn’t a one off. Beer, chicken tendies, outside ambiance all fit the bill. Highly recommend

Rude service from the kitchen staff made our experience very uncomfortable. We asked for the inappropriate loud music to be slightly turned down in their dining area where we were sitting. They said rude remarks, gave us dirty looks, and continued to play alternate ridiculous music. Our party of 6 were nervous to eat what we ordered after experiencing how the kitchen staff acted for no good reason. We spoke to the bar staff and they said they were aware of how rude the people in the back are. Would not recommend.

Do NOT get a burger here. The chicken tenders were homemade and good though. And the beer was tasty.

Jacob and Thomas were absolutely wonderful tonight. They went above and beyond to ensure I had a good dining experience. The food was top notch also, money well spent, will definitely be coming back in the near future.
