DINING IN THE SMOKIES Bryson City's Area Restaurants Offer Something for Every Taste For a small town, Bryson City has quite a variety of restaurant choices — from southern home cooking, hickory-smoked barbeque and juicy hamburgers — to gourmet meals, or ethnic foods like Italian, Mexican or Chinese.
You'll find Bryson City restaurants that serve family style, buffet-style, or in an intimate and romantic setting. You can dine indoors by candlelight or at a sidewalk cafe, or just pop into one of our fast food restaurants. We've even got an old-fashioned family run drive-in. After dinner, you may find specialty coffees or after dinner drinks to go with a wide variety of desserts. Or just enjoy an ice cream at the soda shop. Or catch sports or great area musicians at one of our local taverns. And if you're planning a group event, some Bryson City restaurants cater or have banquet facilities for weddings, receptions, and meetings. Bryson City is one hour west of Asheville, just three hours from Atlanta and Charlotte, and two hours from Greenville, Knoxville and Chattanooga. Printable Smoky Mountains Dining Guide (pdf).

Bryson City with the accolade — "But, most of all, skip the nearby over-developed region that is Gatlinburg and visit Bryson City on the North Carolina side of the park. It is a beautiful small American town with great road-side inns, shops and family entertainment that takes you back to the America of the past, something you can not get much of these days."
