This is a new place, and their food is amazingly good. It is on the pricey side, but definitely a good choice if you want a great meal. Service can be mixed in terms of timing, but still a place I recommend.

Yes, this is an outdoor outfitter store, but they also have a craft beer department with lots of great local craft beers on tap. You can sit outside or inside, and its on a busy corner in downtown Bryson City. A really great and chill atmosphere. Lots of locals go here after work; one of my favorite places to go with friends.
