    Prime Rib, fried green tomatoes, & sweet potato fries
    Angela A.

    What an incredible quaint place! The southern decor and ambiance was right on! The food was delicious and our waitress was amazing and it's a shame I don't remember her name. She heard us talking about my seafood allergy and she was so incredible making sure that what I ordered would be shellfish free with no cross contamination. Even if it meant I couldn't have the fried green tomatoes. I was so appreciative of her attentiveness. We went around 5:30 on a Friday and had to wait about 15 mins to be seated but it was no biggie. I later learned that the wait was due to Prime Rib night. My cousin ordered it and loved it. Looking forward to visiting the Blue Rooster again. Hopefully sooner than later.

    Receipt of all the up charges and non cash adjustment.

    Honestly, I've heard so many good things about this place, but it was definitely underwhelming. The kids burger came with a bun two sizes too small for the patty and not because the patty was so large. It looked like one of the dinner rolls was used for the bun. We asked if it came with lettuce and tomato and the server said no, but they could add it. Got the bill and they had charged .69 each. That would have been perfectly fine, if the server had disclosed. Server asked if we wanted cheese on the burger. We said yes, but guess what? You got it. Another up charge. I asked for plain ranch instead of bbq ranch with the very greasy onion rings and again the server said sure. No explanation that there was an up charge. The stewed purple cabbage was inedible. No flavor and tough. Baked potato casserole wasn't good either. The highlight was the fried chicken and the sweet tea. I will also add that automatically charged me a non cash adjustment which I didn't realize until I'd already left cash on the table and left. Not cool at all!

    Are they closed? They don't answer their phone. Maybe on vacation.

    Closed on Sunday I think but this is a surprise to me.

    The interior is pretty simple and no-frills, nothing that screams "destination dining." But the…read moremoment the food hits the table, none of that matters. I ordered the hot honey chicken tacos (with grilled chicken), and they absolutely delivered. The flavor balance was spot-on--sweet, savory, and just enough heat to keep things interesting without overpowering the dish. Every bite felt intentional and well-executed. The wait staff were also genuinely friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. This is one of those places where the kitchen is clearly the focus, and it shows. If you care more about what's on your plate than what's on the walls, Fuego is 100% worth a visit. I'll definitely be back.

    Like many others, we stayed in Lake Junaluska for a week on vacation. We were initially going to go…read moresomewhere else but the wait was too long so we came here. When we called, we were told no wait which was both a huge green flag but also a red flag.. we came here and are so glad we did! (Later on I overhead they had a wait because the kitchen started to back up, so we just got lucky!). This place is pretty tiny, but our party of 6 was promptly seated. They serve a pretty decent selection of beers as well as THC beverages (not for me). They have a wide variety of food available. I got the Nashville Honey Hot chicken tacos. I usually NEVER get chicken tacos because I think that they're dry and inferior to beef -- but I was intrigued. These were the best chicken tacos I have ever had in my life. Full stop. Need the recipe. Got it with an Apple and Daikon salad which was good. Rest of the party got an assortment of chicken, fish and Bang Bang shrimp but I only had eyes for those chicken tacos. One member of our party thought the fish he had been served was not red snapper but another variety such as tilapia -- he's a fishing guide down in Florida so I will deferred to him, but if there was some tom foolery with fish its hard to tell if it was the restaurant's fault or the supply chain -- he said it was good either way. Street corn was good, pork bowl was outstanding, fried okra good etc. My Mom insisted on paying when the time came and accidentally forgot her card at the restaurant. We called the restaurant at 11pm, we'll past closing and someone answered. When we told them we needed to come pick it up because they were closed Monday when my Mom flew out, they said it was fine to come pick it up. The owner walked her card out to us (apparently she also cooks and helps clean up; a great owner operator!). Great experience, would go back again. Great food, good people.

    I'm honestly shocked this place doesn't have higher reviews..The Sweet Onion is THAT good…read more I grew up in Waynesville, North Carolina and visited this summer for an anniversary trip, and this restaurant completely blew both my partner's and my expectations out of the water. We started with the okra (incredible) and a cucumber salad, and everything tasted SO fresh and local. For our entrées, we ordered the steak and the salmon pasta BOTH were absolutely phenomenal. There were so many things we wanted to try on the menu, and our server made the experience even better. They were honest, knowledgeable, and took the time to break down each dish, even down to the smallest ingredients, which really helped us decide. The vibe at The Sweet Onion is intimate and personal without feeling cramped or crowded. It's that perfect balance of casual and upscale! You could easily dress up for a date night or come in more relaxed for drinks and dinner. On top of that, the prices were extremely good for the quality of food and the level of service. I would 100% recommend this spot to both locals and visitors!!! I genuinely think about this place at least once a week, and if I still lived locally, I'd be dining here a few times a month without hesitation.

    We are in town for a week, and while my wife and MIL have been here before, this is my first time…read more-- it won't be my last! First, the location itself is really unique... years ago this was a Greyhound bus station! The whole asthetic was very unique, and beautifully refurbished. We did have to wait an hour for a table (make a reservation!), but it was comfortable and the staff were ALL very friendly! Once seated, our server Nicole was amazing! We were pretty much ready with our order after looking at the menu while waiting. My MIL and I both got the open faced roast beef sandwich, and both with garlic mashed potatoes. I also got a side salad (soooo good, the candy pecans and ranch, wow!), and she got the French onion soup. It looked great, I'll have to try it next time! My bread was slightly burnt on the edges, and while the au jus that comes with it was ok, we ordered some of the brown gravy (that comes with the meatloaf) and it elevated it so much! If the staff reed this, that would be a smart move! My wife got the 12oz ribeye, and she kindly gave me a few bites. OMG, one of the top 3 steaks I've ever had!!! We both don't like anything on our steaks, and the natural flavor was unbelievable! It was cooked perfectly! All in all, it was a great experience and we WILL be back next time we are in town!
