Rated #4 out of 73 restaurants in Waynesville! This place does not disappoint! Casual attire is acceptable and kid-friendly! They offer a wide variety of meats. Our favorite is the pecan crusted trout, and short ribs with mac and cheese. They do take reservations. But if you go early enough, you can enjoy the ambiance of downtown Waynesville while you wait.
