Wonderful food! One of the best burger and dogs I have had and I consider myself an expert! Truly amazing short order grill food! Onion rings, cheese fries and that hamburger was so thick and huge I almost could not take a bite… We will be back every time we are in the area!

We ordered the loaded potato skins. They were good. We might stop by another time and get a sandwich or some ice cream. The booths were very old timey and had a nice atmosphere.

My family and I stopped here for lunch. I had a burger and fries. My wife had a burger and onion rings. My mother-in-law had a Ruben. The food was pretty good. The only complaints would be the food was a little dry and the tries to maintain a 50s/60s vibe by mostly relying on memorabilia of Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe.

This is a nice throwback restaurant with good food and great customer service! I had a BBQ pork wrap that was delicious! My husband had the fish and chips. The fries were so good but the fish was really greasy and not very tasty. The ice cream was also super delicious! They have both indoor and outdoor seating, which was very accommodating and created a great atmosphere. We will definitely go back when we return to Bryson City in a few weeks.

Nice ice cream and coffee place. We had kids in the group so the focus was ice cream and the kids loved them. Coffee was decent too, lot of flavor. The only reason I'm taking one star is because the service could be faster. I'd definitely visit again, their location is great too.

Waited in line for 10 minutes then another 30 for food and when i got this patty melt Wow! Hot fresh full of cheese and onions. Best patty melt I’ve had in decades. The chili cheese fries were lacking. Burger here are hand made and fresh. It’s really crowded in this tiny space. The bbq was fine.

My burger was really good. Onion rings were pretty good too. My only complaint is that this place was not clean at all. There were employees standing around and talking when we got there. It was not busy at all. All of the tabletops were dirty except one. The floors, crevices in the booths, and general upkeep was terrible, especially if employees are not busy. I could see into the kitchen and it looked very dirty as well, especially the grill and floors. They really need to clean the place up. It has a really cute decor and theme, but the lack of cleanliness takes away from that. This is an invitation for pests and rodents.

DON'T get the chicken sandwich! It's pressed something (BK original chicken sandwich is better) loaded onion rings were great, Reuben didn't have much sauce but plenty of cheese, yes cheese. The French fries and fried pickles were great!Kid-friendliness: Nice outside area with tables and umbrellas

This place is AMAZING! Really good food and well priced. Chicken quesadilla is amazing, as well as the burgers! Not to mention the baked potato with broccoli and cheese. Kids loved it.

I absolutely love this place, the food is always amazing, you definitely get your money's worth, I usually make two meals from the tater tots.

Food was delicious and served quickly. Hand presses patty (not frozen) and fresh lettuce/tomato. Ice cream was very good.

My homemade cheeseburger with lettuce and tomato was good. I enjoyed looking at all memorabilia on the walls. It actually made me think of being in a real boxcar of sorts. I meant to get ice cream in a handmade waffle cone but was full from the burger and fries. It was more fun going here than the McDonald's. I could go to McDonald's anytime, anywhere... but this is a one of a kind experience here in Bryson City, NC.

Ice cream is super yummy., Lots of flavours and generous portions. Prices were affordable. The Reuben was spot on: delicious and exactly the way a Reuben should be. Indian fry bread was great! Family owned and run. Extremely kind and helpful staff. Outdoor seating. I would give it five stars, but for one thing that in covid times I find baffling: no masks worn by the staff.. ?.

Pretty decent! Knocked a star because only one employee was wearing a mask and you can see back into the kitchen and I saw our food was being prepared without gloves. But I didn't know if she had or had not washed her hands before (I'm assuming) but I hate calling people out. There is also no restroom for customers. Lastly there was a small hair/fuzz from clothing on my sandwich, but I just ate around it. With all that said the food tasted great and it's a cute place.

Great Ruben and onion rings. Owners and personnel were friendly and very helpful. Great recommendations. Hand dipped ice cream YUM.

My first time here. Claims to be the best burger in town, and I can't argue. I got the bacon pimento cheese burger. The sweet onion jam overpowered the pimento cheese and bacon, but the jam itself was good. Tater tots were fried to perfection. Service was fine.Vegetarian options: A couple.

The atmosphere was family friendly with good vibes. The food was great, pictured below is a buffalo chicken sandwich. They also serve ice cream with a wide variety of flavors.

Food was great! Portions were big with the exception of the kids pizza. Pizza was also over priced for what you get size and type. Just a little square frozen pizza for $6.95.

This was a cute little ice cream shop in the middle of downtown Bryson city. Easy to get to and perfect after dinner or afternoon treat. The decor is adorable and the staff are friendly
