We had a party of 8 who were visiting Bryson City and decided to eat here one night. Easy to get a reservation and actually enjoyed the process as the young man answering the phone and who eventually sat us when we arrived was having such a great time and was fun to talk to. When we arrived, we had to wait a few minutes, not a big deal at all. Gave us a chance to get a delicious cocktail from the bar. We were seated outside near the river, which was perfect. Our server was attentive and very knowledgeable. Even the young lady who was bussing the tables stopped by and answered a couple of questions for us and was an absolute ball of sunshine. The food arrived and as I said before was delicious. The ONLY issue we had was with the manager, Joe. I'm hoping he was just having an off night, but what a miserable person he seemed to be. Not at all the same vibe the rest of the staff was giving off. He was outright mean to them and even berated them in front of customers. Not sure why he is in the position he is in, but am guessing that is why his staff is all so young. Seasoned industry professionals would probably not put up with his attitude and general lack of professionalism. Will we return? Probably. But hope that he can figure out that he has a great situation that would have been perfect if he had not made a scene and tarnished our evening.

You walk in and order at the counter and then they call your number and you pick up your food. Cute little place with inside and outside seating. We just got a hamburger and a pulled pork sandwich with fries. And a Coke. Prices for reasonable the sandwiches were only like $7. After that we had to try there strawberry shortcake for $5. Super friendly and super fast service. Great place to go if you're on a budget and want to get in and out quickly.. They had tons of sauces to choose from too. Check it out if you're ever in Bryson City downtown.

He basically said "it's right around the corner and to the left;" easy enough ;) This is an old school BBQ joint, nothing super fancy, just straight to the point and prices are very reasonable. Note, this place is cash only so be sure to bring some or you'll have to use the ATM which is conveniently located in the restaurant. We ordered the chopped pork sandwich, a cheese burger and fries and it came to $21. After our meal we went back and ordered the strawberry shortcake ($5). Our food was super fresh and tasty. We enjoyed the variety of BBQ sauces they had available especially the hot and spicy one. We would have liked a little more fries with our meal but for the price I'm not complaining. The restaurant is a bit dated and could use a refresh some other seats are peeling and the tables were sticky but that could be due to whatever chemicals you're using to wipe them down cuz I did see staff cleaning tables after customers left. All in all, a great spot to get a affordable lunch or dinner in a friendly and cozy environment.

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!

We were looking for a place that was open and simple and we could eat outside. We had the Eddy Burger and it was fantastic and the Hawaiian pork. Both items came with a Mac salad that was very tasty. The burger was cooked perfectly and was substantial size probably 7 or 8 ounces. This isn't a fine dining restaurant. It's a counter spot where you walk up place your order and they'll buzz you when your food is ready. Don't expect phenomenal service, but expect phenomenal food. Definitely worth the price and absolutely delicious.
