I donât usually take the time to write reviews but this place was so bad I feel I need too. The staff seemed troubled to have to do their jobs. Our daughterâs food came ten minutes earlier than ours. Mine arrived cold and with disgusting tomatoes. See attached photo. Donât waste your time going here. There are many more wonderful places in town to eat.

The place was full of contradiction. We had lunch there in the early afternoon. We were seated outside and the environment is nice there, to start with. The menu is sufficient and traditional. The food was ok. However, the service was kind of strange. It took time, it was not clear who is serving us. Some mistakes have been made. It seemed to us that the staff was in chaos - or siesta. All in all a medium experience

My husband & I sat out by the river and ate our dinner. VERY nice atmosphere, and the food was exceptional!! I had a burger topped with jalapeño pimento cheese and my husband had their signature 1101 Smokehouse burger. Everything was first class! Service was great. The waitress was friendly. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area. We will be back. Next time I want to try the ribeye. Yumm. Thank you for your review.

Nice tables outside by the Nantahala River. Nice fairly big selection of local craft beers. The tostidos and salsa were average and the queso was way too salty, but the Black Currant Gose from a brewery out of Highlands, NC was phenomenal. The beers aren't cheap though-About $6 a piece! The live music could've been a little better the night we were there but still a good atmosphere.
