    Amazing and delicious. A family owned place that was packed but service was superb. Our food was plentiful and for 2 under $40.00. I can't recommend this place enough. The menu is gigantic. Make plans to dine here, the staff were very friendly to everyone.

    Medium margaritas

    Excellent! From the moment we walked in to the time we left! You immediately felt as if you were home, all staff friendly and welcoming. It is a small place and very busy but very well run. The margaritas were some of the BEST I have every had--you must try!!! I ordered the taquitos and my partner ordered the special dinner which was huge. Taquitos were good, only thing that was off is they laid them in cheese sauce which made them a bit soggy but at least the taste was great! Chips and salsa were fantastic. I'm so happy we tried this place and would definitely come back again and again!

    The large (think Gimourmous!) and Small!  Yum!

    A 5 for the drinks, a 3 for the food. First, the food. It's ok. Nothing too exciting, nothing really wrong - just standard American-Mex quality and quantity. So if you're good with that - you'll rate it higher than I did. Ambiance is also standard American-Mex. But... the margarita's are excellent. Really really good. Which is why they get our food business! They also have small - medium (which we would consider 'normal') and large (which we would consider (ginormous). See pic - mine is the small, hubs is the large- which he came nowhere close to finishing. Obligatory chips and salsa were served promptly and kept full. Service was spot on and very friendly. For local Mexican, we're pleased and will return.

    OMG!!!! First I'll start with the service: These folks felt like family! The hostess was not in a hurry to run to her duties.She answered questions with details! The founder, her dad, came around and visited at length with everyone! He (Amilio, if I remember correctly) and my husband exchanged hugs when we left! The waiter was just as friendly and very good at his job! Now for the food: Everything was delicious. We had a smorgasbord of enchiladas, tacos, grilled jalapeños, tostaguac, and chili relenos (sp?). Everything single thing was amazing! So glad we came!

    Nice cozy Mexican restaurant. Server was friendly and service was fast. Food was good, what I usually expect. My lunch came with a burrito, an enchilada and Mexican rice. Chips and salsa also. All were good and I enjoyed the meal. I'll be back.

    Food was mediocre at best. Hardly any taste but edible. I would not go back. Staff was good, place seemed clean.

Arthur's in Maggie Valley, NC. I ordered the $45 filet mignon, which came with a salad and baked potato. When the waitress asked what dressing I wanted, I chose blue cheese, only to be told there was a $2.50 upcharge for it. I've eaten at many restaurants and have never been charged extra for a standard salad dressing like that. My mom ordered a Reuben with fries, my dad had a cheeseburger with fries, my husband had a hamburger steak with a baked potato, and I had the filet with a baked potato. We all drank water. Our bill was over $130, which felt extremely expensive for what we received. The filet itself was good and the salad was just okay, so the food wasn't all bad. Unfortunately, about 30 minutes into our drive home, all four of us began having significant stomach discomfort and needed to find restrooms because our stomachs were hurting so badly. Needless to say, the rest of our trip home was miserable. Between the unexpected upcharges, the price, and especially how sick all four of us felt shortly after leaving, this was a very disappointing experience. We will not be eating at J. Arthur's again.

    Back again each year and STILL HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Smaller group this time (only 6 made the trip)…read more It seems that typically after a couple of years a restaurant could start to cut back on portion sizes or quality of service and food... That is not at all the case here! Though it was crowded we were seated right away inside near the salsa bar... Probably will request the porch again next time. Our server was great, which is typical each time we have come! He kept our drinks full, it was always quick to refill our basket of chips or anything else we ask for. We started with a bowl of queso to share -- LARGE, and enough to take some home even after 6 of us ate from it -- and the table side guacamole. Let me tell you that I'm not a "guacamole guy", but I dug into this!! It was DELICIOUS, and will be the standard I compare all other guacs to now!!! My wife and I both ordered the steak fajitas, knowing they would be a large portions and that we could bring extra home to our cabin. She made it through about a third of hers, I made it through only half. Plenty to bring back, and we were given fresh tortillas to bring home as well. Delicious! My BIL got fajitas as well, SIL got the chimichangas, and one nephew got chicken tenders while the other got enchiladas. Everything was delicious and no complaints! Keep up the great service, delicious food, and large portion sizes at a decent price -- and we will keep coming back!

    When you order a bowl of queso, they do not play around. This is the largest bowl of queso I've ever had.

Once seated, we were promptly served and received our drinks. Great options in beverages and a couple of really good appetizers. Several main courses were tried, but I had the blackened grouper sandwich with a side of the amazing Parmesan rosemary potato wedges. Fried in beef tallow, they were life-changing. Others at the table, tried some of the bowls and no one at the dinner left hungry or disappointed. Portions were generous, and if you don't want something too large they do offer a little smaller sized serving at a discount.

Thought that it may not be enough food (since there were only 2) but they were huge and filling. Also I liked that it wasnt overly sweet like at other hot honey spots. The best were the wedges though. Easily the best wedges that I've ever had. They are cooked in tallow and they were so crispy and delicious. Even though all of the food was good, would come back just for the wedges. Service was friendly, and parking is available.
