Decent spot for bbq. Not the best that I've had, but pretty good. And prices were fairly reasonable…read more Got the 2 meat combo, which comes with 2 sides and toast. A lot of food, and I was really full. The Brisket was only okay. A little dry, even though I had requested the point (fatty part). Probably would not get this again. Ribs were decent, although they didn't have very smoky flavor. Almost as if it were cooked on a pellet grill. The highlight were the Sauces, which were great, and there were a bunch of options The pecan pie was terrible unfortunately. Recommend just skipping desert, especially since the food portions are large. Clientele were mainly elderly, so even though we arrived early we had to wait. And when we left, the place was almost empty.

The owner is great, very involved in the community, and helpful with groups who utilize the restaurant for meetings. I do wish they were more aware of, and educated about, food sensitivities. I have ordered salads with No croutons several times, and had the salad delivered With croutons. Because I have a severe intolerance to gluten, this is a problem. Also, it would be great if they had gluten-free bread or buns.

The brisket was so tender you could cut it with a fork; the potato salad and the baked beans were delicious ... it was a great experience!

While visiting family in NC, we decided we wanted to go kayaking. My mom and her friends have…read morekayaked here multiple times so we chose to book kayak rentals here. I was a little late calling to go through booking and was happy they still had kayaks available on a Sunday during the holiday weekend. The person I spoke with was very nice and helpful in figuring out the best option for our large group of 5 adults and six kids. We ended up with three singles for the older kids and doubles for adults to take the smaller ones and a double for my mom and bf since she prefers the sit on top models that only come in double. Checking in was easy and we were brought to the shore after a short wait. An attendant helped us and the kids get settled. I at first flipped because I overcorrected and realized it was best to have my niece in front instead of back and then we were fine. I appreciated the attendant being patient with my complete lack of grace. We enjoyed two hours of kayaking. The lake was so beautiful with the lovely mountain scenery surrounding us. The kids absolutely loved when boats came by and we steered into their wakes. The boaters on the water were very respectful in keeping a distance so we never felt overwhelmed by wake or unsafe. It was a wonderful time on the water and very peaceful. The pricing was also very reasonable with a special for free single kayaks for the kids. We returned and got changed. There is only one changing room I saw which also had one bathroom so that's a bit tough, but it's large enough that a few members of a family can go in together if needed. The restaurant upstairs looked good, but once we sat to wait for a table, it was clear the kids were pretty tired and ready to go home so we didn't eat here this time. Overall, we had a great time on our family kayaking adventure and enjoyed making memories at this beautiful spot.

We had heard so many people recommend Rice Wagon while visiting Bryson City that we had to give it…read morea try--and we're glad we did! We ordered the Chicken Katsu and the Bankai Chicken Katsu. Both dishes were similar, with one served with macaroni salad, rice, and crispy chicken, while the other came with rice, furikake, chicken, and a fresh cabbage salad. The menu is simple, but every bite was packed with flavor. The service was outstanding. The young man working the food truck provided service that honestly rivaled what you'd expect at a full-service restaurant. He was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely cared that we had a great experience. The setting is another bonus. The food truck is tucked behind a brewery, making it the perfect place to grab a drink, relax, and enjoy a delicious meal in a quiet, laid-back atmosphere. Out of all the places we tried during our trip, this was some of the simplest food--but also some of the most flavorful. It proves that you don't need a huge menu to make memorable food. We 100% recommend Rice Wagon if you're in Bryson City. Great service, delicious food, and a wonderful atmosphere!

Don't listen to previous reviews. This place just opened. There's obviously going to be some delays…read morein service. However, I think those have improved. It's the same staff from Wicked Weed (minus the nasty hockey-player-looking witch from hell that used to manage here). Much better now. As for the food, hell yeah! (We used 'hell' in a much different context here.) But I should probably balance it out or I'll get an email from the choir. So ... the Smoked Turkey and Brisket were heaven. I didn't even need any sauce--sometimes you don't need the sauce. The Mac 'n Cheese was very good but I can never finish real Mac 'n Cheese--it eats heavy. Fries were very good, as were the pickles (not sure where pickles came from). The food was so good that I came back for a second meal. I got Baby Back Ribs and Smoked Turkey with Fries and Green Beans. The Ribs were excellent! You already know about the Fries. For the Green Beans, probably good but I like crispy Green Beans so not really my thing. In case you were wondering, the Texas Toast was very Texas Toasty. The prices are excellent for a casino, and this is a very big meal. It will definitely fill you up, which is great for someone playing poker tournaments--you don't eat much. If you like BBQ, then I promise you will like it. Ignore the haters and people judging on a dining experience close to when it opened. Go For it! In the end, you regret what you didn't do, not what you did. This is coming from people on their deathbeds; I'm just the messenger. So, eat Smoked Turkey.
