The food was good, the atmosphere was relaxing, and it's a great spot to stop after a day of rafting or exploring Bryson City. We especially appreciated the excellent service and welcoming vibe. We're giving it 4.5 stars because we would have loved to see a little more variety on the menu, but other than that, everything was great. We would definitely recommend River's End to anyone visiting the area and looking for a pleasant meal by the river.

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.

The meat and three along with the vegetable only options are welcomed changes to the family style only meal for those desiring smaller portions. In our experience, the food was served hot and was perfectly prepared. We chose white meat chicken and received two large breast that were excellent! The two catfish fillets and four slices of meat loaf were delicious. The vegetables were Lima beans, cabbage casserole, creamed corn, potatoes au gratin, slaw and a spring salad. All were served fresh with two biscuits and two corn muffins. The relish, apple butter and Sogrum-sage butter were delightful. We were blessed to have April for our server, and highly recommend her for your visit. She shared the history of the area and is proud of the changes and history of the Dillard House. Thank you for a great meal. The fried chicken is better than I remembered. Yes, the restaurant is open, and parts of the motel are being remodeled/updated and the new hotel is under construction. Don't let the remodeling deter you from the eating at the restaurant or enjoying your favorite drink from the bar.

Poor service, poor food quality. Not impressed at all…read more Ambience is nice, very spacious, newly built, restaurant. Friendly staff. Not very attentive at all. Say for 15 minutes before the manager had to obtain a server for our table. After the food was delivered, the server did not provide adequate service. I requested a water refill, which took an additional 15 minutes, because she continually forgot. Food quality wasn't the greatest. They served chicken, which consisted of 2 thighs and 2 drumsticks. Along with friend catfish filets, that had been way over salted. Both were very soggy. I ate half the thigh and quit. Veggies? Only vegetables were Lima beans, everything else considered vegetables, was a casserole. A table full of starches. Over rated and over priced. Sadly disappointed. If you want good southern food, go further south to Thomasville, GA. Go to O'Neals. You can fool some folks, but not someone that knows southern cooking. We won't return.

Then other white people came and sat behind us, and were attended right away. We took notice of the hate crime and decided to walk out .

There was a family with a young girl, and myself at a different table. Despite there being a family with a child, the teenager told the workers that she was going to stick something up his a**. I don't know who 'he' is but he might want to be on alert. That same teenager then told the staff that she was about to destroy the bathroom. This is while people were eating, btw. I thought about getting the sandwich to go, but then a hot sandwich would be room temperature by the time I got to my hotel. Maybe the mayo would bring the taste back to life! But they forgot the mayo, so no. The dude making the sandwich seemed alright though. Just inexperienced. No issues there. Getting back to the teenager, she exited the bathroom about ten minutes later and announced to the whole place (staff and patrons): "I feel bad for whoever has to clean that up. I have IBS." Unfortunately, the staff laughed, which keeps rewarding this desperate need for attention. I was like that as a teenager, so I know. This is the second time something related to bathroom humor has happened while eating at this location. Not really that appetizing. With a large sandwich costing $16, might as well eat at a restaurant anyway. I'm willing to wager they won't be talking about bowel movements. The manager should be shutting this sh*t down asap. Once you let someone act disrespectfully, they're going to keep doing it. Gotta shut it down right off the bat! Anyway, go here if you want to eat turkey while thinking about dookies.

Then, I heard about the place on Facebook on one of those "unique out of the way places to eat" posts. The post peaked my interest, especially, since I knew exactly where it was, so, I YELPED it and made plans to go. On our last visit to Waynesville, I put it on my cheap places to try list. We had my in-laws in tow, so I'm reporting the opinions of 4 people. My wife and her dad got the country fried steak. They said it was okay, but nothing special and they wouldn't get it again. My MIL and I both got the Meatloaf sandwich. I got mine on a hoagie bun and my MIL got hers on Texas toast. We both enjoyed our meatloaf sandwiches. Mine was worth going back for another. My MIL also enjoyed half of hers and gave me the other half. The Hoagie bun was definitely the better decision. This is a cheap diner with cheap diner food. The atmosphere is just what it looks like in the pictures and it's exactly what we were looking for. The staff is very friendly. Our waitress tried to sell us some of their homemade desserts, but, unfortunately we already had ingredients and plans for an apple tart, back at the cabin. We will definitely visit this place again, on our next trip. I'll get another meatloaf sandwich, (it was really outstanding) my wife will get something other than the fried steak and we'll both grab a couple of those good looking homemade desserts they had in their display case. We spend a lot of money eating out, when we travel, so I always sprinkle in a couple of cheap places, in order to afford a few pricier, more upscale places. This place is exactly what you should expect after reading the reviews and viewing the pics. I'll try to remember to get some pics next time.
