Restaurants in Sylva

“comfortable environment with positive vibes and excellent coffees and food!”

“We were passing through town and wanted Bar-B-Q. I'm so glad we found Nick’s BBQ! The ribs and bakebeans were some of the best we’ve ever had! It’s a cute small place with a friendly atmosphere. The staff was supper nice, too. I would highly recommend this place if you’re passing through or staying in Sylva!”

“My wife and I were in town as part of our 50th anniversary vacation and had dinner on Sunday 9/24/23. I had the 10 oz sirloin with loaded baked potato and green beans. My wife had the spinach with the raspberry vinaigrette dressing. The food was awesome and the service was great! We highly recommend Boots if you’re passing through southwestern NC.”

“Great food with a cool tiki atmosphere... You gotta try it!”

“Great place. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Food is delicious. I got the pastrami on rye with grilled onions. It was fantastic. I could only eat half. Warmed up the other half for dinner that night and it filled me up. If you are in Sylvania you should really give it a try. You won't be disappointed.”

“Always have a great experience at Ilda. Menu and cocktails are creative and delicious.”

“This was an amazing little sandwich shop! The food was great and the staff friendly. I had the chicken sandwich and potato soup. Both great! The potato soup was heavy with bacon. Definitely a heart stopping soup!”

“Everything, never have I been disappointed! The plus side your right next to Innovation. Great combo….”

“Dalaya Thai Sylva!!!! 10++ Kiao khoong Todd- ground pork wrapped jumbo shrimp in rice paper deep fried Chicken gaeng masaman curry with potato and cashews Kaeng hung leh- hubby was in heaven Everything was not only beautifully presented but so flavorful and delicious! So yummy didn’t save room for mango sticky ric ;-(… next time”

“We had two signature items from the menu that we have had many times. Not up to par this time (9-21-22). French onion soup was like warm. Mediterranean appetizer over browned. Italian pasta salad needed more oil and grated cheese. The added tofu was practically burnt and flavorless.”

“I just wish they had a list of beers and ciders on their website”

“We have always had a great eating experience at Colimas. The food is fresh, flavorful and priced right.The waitstaff are very friendly and welcoming. Our go-to place for Mexican food.”

“The food was fantastic, the beer was delightful, and the staff was spectacular! Our bartender Allison, who recommended the Cuban, which was easily one of the best sandwiches I've ever eaten, was super rad! They were killing it, taking care of everybody and the beer was top tier. I especially loved the seasonal beers.”

“Amazing food and great service”

“Great food and beer! Highly recommend!”

“Tina and Ron are the best! Amazing fresh quality of seafood with restaurant and bar… Or you just buy from the market to take home. Great prices and always a diverse rotating menu. Thank God we finally have a good place to eat around here.”

“Want to give a HUGE shout out to the young ladies working the Waynesville location 6/5/24! You ladies made my girls day after a breakup! Y’all made her feel amazing and your empathy was radiant! Great job ladies! Keep up the good work!!”

“Family owned diner with good food. We have eaten there for years. My kind of pkace”

“I've been trading with Mr Ralph Carico for at least 2 years and so far, he’s very good, intuitive Trader, honest, and you can trade fractional shares, which is a huge advantage for those who are starting out with smaller accounts/amount. Plus, He’s trustworthy and regulated account manager Ralph Carico”

“It was amazing best food I’ve had ever!!”

“So we found them heading back home, stopped for a snack and a glass of wine. The owner offered a carton for taking any leftovers home…..😂 Absolutely delicious! Their infused honey and local cheeses🔥, definitely coming back if we get back to North Caroline!”

“The day before my friend’s birthday my cake maker came down sick. I found this bakery the next day to see if they could accommodate me for my friends birthday. They had one non-iced red velvet cake in the back. They iced it fresh and put a simple design on it that day. I appreciate them accommodating and helping my friend have a good 34th birthday.”

“We had dinner here while visiting family in the area. The place looks nice & inviting. We chose to sit inside as the evening was a little cool. It was rather busy, tables all around us were full of ppl eating various plates of food. I noticed a table to our left & our right both had a very creamy & delicious looking Mac & cheese. I searched the menu & saw there were 2 options for Mac & cheese. One was under the kids menu section & the other was on the regular menu but with lobster, called Lobster Mac & cheese, it was $15. I thought of wow they must load the Mac & cheese with lobster for that price. I asked our waitress when she returned to take our order if the size of the Lobster mac & cheese was the same size as the ones on either table to our left or right? She looked at the table on one side of us & confirmed it was indeed the same portion size, so I then asked if it would have enough lobster in it for that price. She said that she thought it was a good portion of lobster in the Mac & cheese. So we ordered our plates & I ordered the lobster Mac & cheese. I sat there enjoying our conversation practically salivating thinking about the creamy delicious lobster Mac & cheese. When our food came out it didn't all come at once but was staggered, as the first items were brought out before the Mac & cheese, I was distracted by the other entree's when it was delivered. Well boy was I ever disappointed in what they actually delivered to our table as lobster Mac & cheese. Firstly it did not look anything like the creamy delicious looking Mac & cheese that I had pointed out to our server earlier. It was not creamy or cheesy like the other. It wasn't even the same pasta, it was relatively dry & had seasoning & onions in it & 3 teeny tiny little pieces of lobster set on top in the middle. I am not usually one to complain, but this was inedible for myself because it was full of onions, which was something I had asked the waitress about in another dish before ordering & would have thought she would have explained that the kids Mac & cheese was Not the same as the lobster Mac & cheese & also made me aware that the lobster Mac & cheese included onions. When she finally returned to our table I attempted to get her to just remove it from our bill as I wasn't going to eat it. She told me it wasn't in their policy to remove the lobster Mac & cheese from the bill & acted like she wouldn't even go ask a manager about it. I asked if I could have her remove the lobster Mac & cheese from the table & replace it with what I had actually wanted & pointed to at the other tables earlier. She finally left to I assume ask & then a couple minutes later she returned & said she was sorry but they would Not remove it from the bill or replace it with the kids Mac & cheese either! We paid our bill & I again looked at the menu on our way out to confirm that it did not describe the lobster Mac & cheese as a different pasta, having seasoning & onions in it. It did Not! First they should clearly describe the lobster Mac & cheese in the menu & secondly they should Not expect customers to pay for something they absolutely will Not eat because of hidden ingredients in their meal. This place put a bad taste in our mouth & we will Not be back while visiting family again.”

“I had the spring rolls and Pho Combo (beef and meatballs). Honestly, the spring rolls were rubbery, and perhaps it's just that I am not accustomed to that texture. I didn't like it. The Pho was tasty, but the meatballs were ALSO rubbery. I am not usually a "texture" person, but I really didn't like the texture of the meatballs.”

“People behind the counter were speedy and absolutely the sweetest people ever. The food tasted amazing too :)”

“We take out are food and it has all way been very good!! The meat very soft and very good taste .”

“This is a favorite in Sylva, would recommend!”

“Make sure your expectations are for a restaurant in a college town. Great chicken fingers that are hand breaded and great cheese pizza. Long time Speedy's customer and have ordered three times at this location. Two cheese pizzas and they were fantastic , especially ordered in and fresh. Ordered a large deluxe pizza for $24.00 and very disappointed with the amount of toppings. Maybe 8 slivers of green peppers. It was a good pizza just not for the money. Order a cheese pizza and it should be really good. Hopefully they can figure it out and become a main stay in Cullowhee.”

““Howdy Folks! Menus are on the counter, find a seat and order at the register when you are ready!” Food and service was absolutely spot on. The best, coldest Caesar Salad I have ever had! Pizza was not as hot as I prefer, but that’s my preference. Do not pass this place up!”

“The pizza was so delicious!”

“Great food and great service!”

“Outstanding! The salsa for the table was fantastic. All four dinners were perfectly prepared. All the dinners came out looking delicious. The food was hot and had a good flavor.”

“Update:
When it is open, it’s great! The workers are great though, very nice, and very rarely gets my order wrong.

I’m just tired of the unpredictable lobby being closed so much, as well as the ordering ahead. I load my Starbucks app only to now have no access to the money back and I can’t get breakfast.

If I want to get coffee, it’s like I have to get there an hour before I have to be at work five minutes away to be able to adjust the lobby being closed and the drive thru line being stupid long because of it.

We aren’t small enough of a town anymore for this to be a problem.”

“I just realized that the last time I reviewed this place was quite a few years ago. They underwent a complete revamp a few years back, and they are now absolutely amazing. They are one of my favorite places to eat in town.”

“Good place to hang out. Cool”
