Cute little restaurant, friendly staff. No gluten free menu but can tell you modifications that can be made. The server did say the fryer was dedicated for fries. Avoid this restaurant around 4:15 when the Smokey Mountain train arrives as it dumps about 400 passengers on the town for an hour. I had grilled chicken, collards and sweet potato wedges which were great. I am not celiac.

This was one of the worst experiences I have had in a while and frankly a great example of the limited helpfulness of this app. There is a high risk of CC and they will tell you this themselves. Not for celiacs.

On vacation in Bryson. Found on the app. Hubby had the taco platter & I had the street taco appetizer. Chef came out to have a chat with us about the possibility of cross contamination & that they would take precautions to avoid but could not guarantee. Made us feel at ease. We also ordered fries & sweet potato fries. They have gf fryer but once again not a gf kitchen. We did not get sick & food was awesome sauce…Anna was our server..funny & great server

Great experience! Waitress was so friendly and asked the kitchen all of my questions I had. I had the mahi mahi tacos with fries! Be sure to ask about the fryer, the waitress said some days they aren’t able to do a full gluten free dedicated fryer so be careful of cross contamination with that!

Let me start by saying there is practically no restaurant where I'm even fairly confident eating at in the Sylva/ Dillsboro area. I had a delicious taco plate here, and I recommend. They have a dedicated fryer for the chips and corn tortillas. The meat, I had beef and husband had chicken, were both very flavorful. I'll be back!
