The Trail Mate was cool, but I really enjoyed the cream ale. It was light, and had a small hint of cream soda. Ending a day of hiking and river swimming at the Lazy Hiker was fantastic. I would 100% come back. About that Lazy Hiker food truck... sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe not good. I'd give that a 3/5. They have no mayo on hand but make burgers... No mayo for the bun before it goes on the grill? That's kinda suspect. The burger was alright. It tasted more like a backyard burger with curly fries on the side. To be honest, it paired well with the beers but there's still plenty of room for improvement.

We ducked into Boudicca's Celtic Pub trying to beat the Gatlinburg heat with a party of nine--not…read moreexactly an easy group to accommodate on a whim. Instead of being turned away or treated like a burden, we were immediately welcomed and found a great spot upstairs with awesome views of the village. The food and drinks completely delivered. The beer was fantastic, and you could tell the bartender actually cared about the quality of the pour (you have to try the Blacksmith). We started with the soft pretzels and beer cheese (excellent), but the absolute standout was the Celtic Spice Bag for the entree. I can't recommend it enough--you have to try it. I've been to a lot of Irish pubs around the world, including plenty in Ireland. A lot of places think that slapping some Claddaghs, harps, and four-leaf clovers on the wall while blasting the same five pub songs we all know by heart is enough to make an Irish pub. Boudicca's has the decor and the music, sure, but that's not why we'll be coming back. When you walk into a real pub over on Salt Hill in Galway Bay, what actually makes the place special is the atmosphere. It's the genuine welcome from the people, the care behind the bar, and food that feels unique. Boudicca's captured that exact feeling right in the middle of Tennessee. The staff was fantastic, the vibe was perfect, and we had an absolute blast. Highly recommended.

But our friends have had the burger and chips, and fish and chips. It's so good! The atmosphere is authentic and when they have a band that's fun too! The service is great and I've never had a bad time! We went while USA was playing in the FIFA World cup. It was packed, but the service was good, food was hot, and drinks stayed filled. It was a lively time and the servers was great! If you are in the area, it's a must!!

The live music was an awesome touch and made for a fun atmosphere. I was able to bring my pup since I sat outside, which was a huge plus. Just keep in mind that if you're dining on the patio, the service is more limited, you order and pay at the bar, and they'll bring your food out to you. Overall, this is a must-visit if you're in Highlands, North Carolina, especially if you're a fan of great burgers, good beer, and a laid-back atmosphere.

We were seated right away. A little annoyed that our party of 5 was seated at a small corner booth…read moretable. Ended up using the back of the booth for our water bottle and condiments and still struggled for space. Buffalo wings were good but not exactly Buffalo. No buttery spicy hot sauce. It was more peppery than buffalo. Wings were cooked perfectly though Reuben is excellent as are the jalapeno Mac bites. Cheese dip was also excellent but we (and the table next to us) had to ask for more chips. Not portioned terribly well. Beer options were very slim (2 on tap from what it gathered). I'm sure there were plenty of bottled options but draft was disappointing. We ordered the ale but they tapped out and brought us brown ale. At 5pm...only a brown and stout on tap. Overall, it was a pretty middling experience but the food was good and they offer a military appreciation discount.

Quaint Tavern, located just off Main, with an excellent selection of wine, beer, and specialty cocktails. Small with limited seating, make sure you get there early or be prepared to wait a bit. We ordered the divinity and a specialty old-fashioned to drink and both were as delicious as any cocktail we've ever had. The peach Caprese salad was a real standout, so fresh and really delicious. The Instagram worthy jalapeño popper burger was perfectly prepared and really juicy and delicious. The cucumber salad was spicy as advertised and delicious, I could've eaten an entire bowl of those cucumbers. My son had the 4th street burger and I swear he ate it like he never had anything more delicious. The service was excellent. The food was excellent and we will absolutely be back. Highly recommend the Highlands Tavern!

I came alone and sometimes as a solo female at a bar you feel uncomfortable but bartender made me feel welcome from the start. I ordered a Chicago beef sandwich. It was adequate...Mediocre.... When I think of a Chicago beef sandwich the first thing I think of is pepperoncini and/or au jus but it had neither. But it was decent, kind of like a thing you might grab & go on the road somewhere.... edible but you're not thinking about it afterwards. The sandwiches come with french fries but I got the Greek pasta salad instead. I should've got the french fries because I paid $2 up charge for weak pasta salad. But the reason I'm still giving it 4 stars was that it's a nice local bar. Clientele chatty. My bartender was very cool. I didn't get his name (young,blond, skater type) friendly, welcoming. If you're looking to have some drinks with friends and play pool, I think it's a perfect place, but have dinner first before you get here.
