Awesome Place! We have been coming up to Lake Nantahala for 10 plus years now. We always stop…read morehere to eat if we aren't staying with one of the Airbnb's they rent out or stay on owner's property (which is AWESOME too! FIRST CLASS!), never disappointed in the food. This go around we did have to wait an hour to get a grilled ceasar salad and had no offer of drink refills while waiting. We ate outside and it was later in evening so maybe that was the issue? I still strongly suggest stopping in and trying any of their offerings, Lunch or Dinner. They have a great Fish Fry Friday night and Prime rib is to die for, on Saturday night. I do not know what they seasoned the green beans with, but I could have eaten an entire bowl of just those...Like I said, no disappointment in food...and normally, they are great on service too! We may have been on an off night or shortened staff due to time we chose to eat. Service is just really important to us. I run a small business and know that it can break you if not on key. Beautiful view of their Marina and Lake!

We tried this chef-inspired place for dinner during our stay at the hotel-casino…read more.. The place itself had more of a vibe of a hotel lobby than that of a restaurant....a bit too spread out as well? Also, it was too quiet for such a spacious layout. Definitely needed to crank up the music. That can be said of this entire hotel-casino. Possibly catering to senior's finicky sensibilities, but overhead music is very subdued throughout the hotel-casino...and for me personally, it made the place feel a lot less festive. We also had this wonky table, but our waitress tried her best to fix it. In any case, we ordered the Lobster Lollipop for appetizer, a Caesar Salad, and a BBQ Rack with sides...all to share. Well, I can't complain...all the foods were delish. The flavors were rich and buttery. I would have liked to try one of their entrees, but I just wasn't hungry, so we just ordered 1 entree, 1 salad and 1 app to share. It turned out to be good call...as all the dishes had generous portions. Overall, we liked the restaurant. Frankly, the vibe just wasn't that great. Again, the place felt like a hotel lobby. Still, the food and the service was good, and think we'd both be willing to revisit in the future.

Walked into a local sports bar in western North Carolina and felt like we'd walked into a…read moreJacksonville bar back home. Our hostel host pointed us here, and the second we stepped in, we were greeted by Jaguars jerseys on the wall, Mark Brunell and Jimmy Smith. Then we got seated, and right above our table was Fred Taylor's Florida Gators jersey along with a picture of the Swamp. All three of us at the table were Jacksonville guys, so between the Jags gear and the Gators tie-in, it felt like home before we'd even ordered. We all got the wings, and they were excellent. This place oven roasts them first, then fries to crisp up the skin, no breading involved, and that combination does something special to the flavor. Best wings I've had in a while. One of my buddies also ordered a margarita and said it was excellent. Service was great throughout, and the price landed right in that sweet spot, not cheap, but not expensive for what we got either. Fair value across the board. If you're ever in Franklin and want a spot that feels like home even when you're hundreds of miles from it, this is the place.

Taste-wise, the burger was delightful, the fries tasted great, my pizza was scrumptious, and you just can't go wrong with a Coca-Cola. Sue, our server, did great and was nice to us.

It normally comes with lettuce, tomato, pickle, and special sauce. I didn't want a mayonnaise based sauce....trying to cut some calories since I'm already having a deep fried sandwich! I instead got a smear of buffalo hot sauce which was a really good substitute. The sandwich was super crisp and spicy. Very good! My only gripe is that when I get a sandwich at a restaurant, I expect some type of side dish. It could be a small amount of fries or some potato chips but something. R&R has lots of good sides so they could offer some free fries but then encourage up charge sides for one of their delicious options like their truffle fries. Ive eaten there a few times and each time, very consistent, good food!! Bartender Chynna was very nice. Bar was getting busy but she handled everyone efficiently and friendly.
