    Met some friends here for a Saturday night dinner. Service was great. Luckily we didn't have to wait long to get in and seated. Food was good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice little spot for a casual dinner or lunch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Live music/band started at 7pm.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Really enjoyed the appetizer sampler. Burgers were good.

    Lots of parking

    Great place to stop for a beverage right off the bike trail. Best ambience with full outdoor, partial and indoor seating options making this a five star place to have a beer on a beautiful summer day. Service was pleasant and attentive. Mainly bar and/or pub food which felt heavy. All the basics as you'd expect on the menu but nothing really stood out. This place has quite a bit of potential so will swing by again.

    The family went to Waynesville Fall Festival and enjoyed our Sunday. While there I wanted to try a local restaurant. I used Yelp and located this gem. On the Yelp review there was a picture of a pizza that looked AMAZING, had to try it. We headed down the road to the Little River Bar and Grill. Little River Bar and Grill staff was very pleasant and accommodating. I ordered the "All Around Joe Supreme" Pizza. I like to think of myself as a "pizza expert" and let me tell you this was one of the best pizzas I have ever had. The crust and mozzarella cheese are top-notch. This pizza is in my Top 3 pizzas EVER. My daughter - who is normally a very picky eater had "MeMaw Chicken and Dumplings", which was the Sunday Special. He ate ALL! Said it was "Amazing". If I lived closer I would have this pizza frequently. "MeMaw" seems to be an excellent cook. Worth a stop!

    Good experience here overall. There did seem to be a bees nest being formed above us in the metal hollow beams but hey, that happens, especially when the windows are open. Very nice and relaxing atmosphere when we went. The windows were all open, the weather was perfect, the place seemed busy, people seemed friendly. The staff did seem a bit busy but the wait was not too insane and with the weather being nice we didn't mind. The food was above average for a bar and grill. We started with super sized tatter tots that were loaded with cheese, bacon, and a side of sourcream. Very good and I'd definitely recommend them. I ended up getting the Rex Italian. Bread was nice but overall it wasn't something I'd order again unless I was craving a sub (which I was at the time). I will say the fries were very good! Reminded me almost of Rallys fries but better. My girlfriend ended up getting the burger. She really liked it. Her only minor complaint was it only had one peice of bacon that was basically cut in half, I guess. She also really enjoyed the fries. Cool experience especially on a nice day and you're in the area for a walk or bike on the trail.

    Stuffed Tots

    Little River is somewhere between an old school roadhouse and a family restaurant. We went on a Friday night. They had a band playing in the outdoor area behind the restaurant. If you plan to stay and watch the band, bring a fold out chair. They have a few picnic tables, but they were all occupied when we went back. The food was very good. We had wings, a steak sandwich, cheese curds, and stuffed tater tots. The curds tasted like legit cheese curds and not rebranded cheese sticks. The stuffed tots were unique and were not greasy as I thought they might be. Steak sandwich and wings were both very good. Our service was good, not great, but we got our food and drinks in a relatively timely manner and the waitress was friendly. I would definitely recommend this place and would go more often if it was closer to me. One final thing. If mask discipline is a big thing for you, maybe go somewhere else.

    Today was the first time I ever stepped into the tavern. The atmosphere was like a small town…read morewatering hole and I lobes the quaint feel of it. The staff and patrons were rather welcoming and friendly. The service was as prompt as it could be for a super busy friday night. But the best part of the night was the Godsend that was the fried chicken. Bless the people of this tavern. This was by far the best chicken of my life.

    This place has the very Best Chicken we have ever had. Anytime we are in town this is our first…read morestop. We travel all over the United States. We aren't even tempted to have Chicken anywhere else. Because we know it won't measure up. This place gets packed at lunch and again around 4:15-5:00 each day. So go early if you can. Britney is the owner and a great person. You will find her there at many times of the day. She pitches in where needed and helps to keep it flowing when it gets busy. And then the jewels of this restaurant and bar is the staff. The Bartenders and servers are all over the place making sure customers are taken care of and checking in often to give the best customer service possible. All of them make us and everyone that walks through the door feel special. You can also order takeout. But the experience of just being there is worth it. The kitchen is ran like a well oiled machine. They stay busy not only frying chicken but all the other wonderful menu items you will find. We can't not have their heavy peppered fried chicken, mashed potatoes and the best gravy too. Thank you for the opportunity to write this review.

    Lovely! We had eaten here a dozen or so years ago and I remember being sad that there was not…read morereally that much on the menu that qualified as Italian. But that was then and this is now, and the current hands-on owners give us a truly Italo-centric experience! It feels very European in here. All brick walls and an archway between the bar room and the dining room. Big wine rack in the dining room. The bar is also quite attractive and looks comfortable. I don't recall hearing any music but we were there at lunchtime on Sunday. Fire grilled artichokes grabbed me so we got this for an app. I admit I didn't read the description completely. The dish had seven little artichoke quarters drowning in Alfredo sauce. The artichoke was sweet and tender but all that sauce really overwhelmed it and this app is overpriced for the quantity. Later I realized we could have had them served with EVOO and parmesan which I would have much preferred. It was disappointing that the waitress didn't ask which preparation we wanted, and that the kitchen apparently did not ask her, either. Our two pasta dishes were delectable and the amount of protein was quite generous. We both loved our sauces, and the spicy Italian sausage (house made!) was out of this world. They sliced it nice and thin and there was so much, I was really in Heaven. The fettuccine and the capellini were done to perfect al dente. Our waitress did a great job and checked on us often. She was handling several tables and was constantly on the move but kept up well with all her guests. I was thrilled to see Limoncello cake on the dessert menu but a bit shocked at the high price. Of course it is possible you get a huge slice and I will definitely research this further next time! I plan on coming back, and soon.
