Nantahala Burger - Bryson City

When we checked the beer menu, we saw that they only had four of their own brews available. After ordering, we found out they were out of the beer we had chosen, so we settled for the amber ESB, which was decent. The other options were a porter or a stout. We ordered a batch of ten wings, asking for half of one sauce and half of another. When they arrived, we found them mostly dry and composed entirely of drumettes, even though we hadn't specified a preference. We understand that there's been a shortage of wings, which has affected availability, but paying $15 for ten poorly sauced drumettes felt excessive. We also ordered a side of fries, but they arrived cold and seemed to be the leftover crumbs from the bottom of a warm plate. The portion was already small, and we couldn’t even eat half of it. I recognize the impact a review can have on a restaurant, and I don’t take pleasure in writing negative feedback. However, both my husband and I felt it was necessary to share our experience after this visit.

As someone who prides themselves on being a connoisseur of baked pretzels, I can confidently say this one is among the best I've ever had. It had the perfect crunch on the outside and a delightful softness on the inside—truly unbeatable. I hope this is the standard preparation and that my experience wasn't a fluke. The beer, chicken tenders, and outdoor atmosphere all complemented the meal perfectly. I highly recommend it!

It was decent, I suppose. The IPA was flavorful. Being located by the train added some character to the walk there. The nearby place that is currently closed seemed like a more appealing venue from the outside; it would be great if they reopened it.

This was a great find! The beer was great, porter was growler worthy so we filled our growler. We had the pulled pork which was really good. It is local sourced farm to table. Service was excellent and friendly. Inside and outside seating. For a Monday, itwas busy. We plan to come back the next time we are in the area.

One and done for us unfortunately. To follow up on previous reviews do not keep your tab open! A second system at the outside side bar would be extremely helpful for those just wanted to order another drink or close there tab. Waiting in line 15 minuteswas very frustrating, and we were one of several trying to do so. Could not try the cherry/rhubarb cider on tap, was told it wasnot working? See chicken tenders photo as well on the food and judge for yourself?.
