We had heard so many people recommend Rice Wagon while visiting Bryson City that we had to give it…read morea try--and we're glad we did! We ordered the Chicken Katsu and the Bankai Chicken Katsu. Both dishes were similar, with one served with macaroni salad, rice, and crispy chicken, while the other came with rice, furikake, chicken, and a fresh cabbage salad. The menu is simple, but every bite was packed with flavor. The service was outstanding. The young man working the food truck provided service that honestly rivaled what you'd expect at a full-service restaurant. He was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely cared that we had a great experience. The setting is another bonus. The food truck is tucked behind a brewery, making it the perfect place to grab a drink, relax, and enjoy a delicious meal in a quiet, laid-back atmosphere. Out of all the places we tried during our trip, this was some of the simplest food--but also some of the most flavorful. It proves that you don't need a huge menu to make memorable food. We 100% recommend Rice Wagon if you're in Bryson City. Great service, delicious food, and a wonderful atmosphere!

While visiting family in NC, we decided we wanted to go kayaking. My mom and her friends have…read morekayaked here multiple times so we chose to book kayak rentals here. I was a little late calling to go through booking and was happy they still had kayaks available on a Sunday during the holiday weekend. The person I spoke with was very nice and helpful in figuring out the best option for our large group of 5 adults and six kids. We ended up with three singles for the older kids and doubles for adults to take the smaller ones and a double for my mom and bf since she prefers the sit on top models that only come in double. Checking in was easy and we were brought to the shore after a short wait. An attendant helped us and the kids get settled. I at first flipped because I overcorrected and realized it was best to have my niece in front instead of back and then we were fine. I appreciated the attendant being patient with my complete lack of grace. We enjoyed two hours of kayaking. The lake was so beautiful with the lovely mountain scenery surrounding us. The kids absolutely loved when boats came by and we steered into their wakes. The boaters on the water were very respectful in keeping a distance so we never felt overwhelmed by wake or unsafe. It was a wonderful time on the water and very peaceful. The pricing was also very reasonable with a special for free single kayaks for the kids. We returned and got changed. There is only one changing room I saw which also had one bathroom so that's a bit tough, but it's large enough that a few members of a family can go in together if needed. The restaurant upstairs looked good, but once we sat to wait for a table, it was clear the kids were pretty tired and ready to go home so we didn't eat here this time. Overall, we had a great time on our family kayaking adventure and enjoyed making memories at this beautiful spot.

It normally comes with lettuce, tomato, pickle, and special sauce. I didn't want a mayonnaise based sauce....trying to cut some calories since I'm already having a deep fried sandwich! I instead got a smear of buffalo hot sauce which was a really good substitute. The sandwich was super crisp and spicy. Very good! My only gripe is that when I get a sandwich at a restaurant, I expect some type of side dish. It could be a small amount of fries or some potato chips but something. R&R has lots of good sides so they could offer some free fries but then encourage up charge sides for one of their delicious options like their truffle fries. Ive eaten there a few times and each time, very consistent, good food!! Bartender Chynna was very nice. Bar was getting busy but she handled everyone efficiently and friendly.
