Absolutely blown away by not only the service which was amazing but the food and plating was 5 star! I could smell the collards when I walked in and had to have them. The shrimp and grits was one of the best I've had in a long time and the addition of the chicken sausage was perfect. The pancakes are HUGE! I wish we'd known that prior to ordering for the kids with us. I cannot wait to go back. Dillsboro is such a wonderful small town and finding a unique gem of a restaurant is extra special. read more

Excellent food with locally sourced ingredients & local brews. Excellent food! One of our favorite stops between Asheville & GA. A little bit of everything for everyone. Vegan & vegetarian options available. Beer, wine & liquor available. Never had a bad meal here! Great burgers, chicken, shrimp & grits. Tacos are fantastic- you get two & they are large portioned. Great selections of salads. Excellent cheeses! Gouda, goat, Swiss & even pimento! Excellent veggies! Great collard greens with a light amount of kick to it. Pickles I believe are made in house as they are special! Sweet & dill.. by pass the same ol fast food & chains. Go to where the locals go. You'll love the town, river, chocolate factory store, antiques, art & history. And if you like trains one comes through each hour. Like stepping back in time. Great vibe. Excellent local brewery next door too! The food is excellent! Savory & warmth of home. Definitely a spot to checkout that's right off the path. Don't miss this special spot. They cared for our dog as much as us! Brought a stainless bowl with cool water & a lil love too. read more

They do some things really well here. I enjoyed the food, especially the sweet potato tots and the piggy basket appetizer. The sweet potato tots rolled in cinnamon sugar was awesome! I'd highly recommend that as your side. It's the only way to go. The piggy basket was fries with pulled pork, cheese, and other toppings. Everything on there was top-notch even by itself so putting it all together made a very tasty dish. I got the back porch burger. It had the most perfect fried green tomato on there, the pepper bacon was delicious, the pimento cheese was amazing too. My only complaint was the burger itself. I ordered it medium and it came out all the way to well done. Normally that would ruin the burger but all the other components were so good, I still really enjoyed it. Everyone else loved their food with no complaints. They have a good beer selection here and the server was very nice although she did disappear on us once. I think overall it's just a great concept. When I think farm to table I think $30 dishes and this place proves you can get great local and farm-fresh food for great prices! I hope to find more restaurants like this in the future. read more

Every time I am in Dillsboro to visit family I have to order two the Shrimp and Grits for myself and my 98 year old Grandmother. It is her super food. While we always get it takeout, it doesn't take away from the generous portion on great taste. Love it! read more

Traveling thru town, stopped for dinber. Cute decor. Burgers and pasta tasted great.

We sat outside with my dog. The server was very fast and nice. The food was so so yummy. Definitely don't miss the fried deviled eggs. And the bad mother clucker sandwich was the most tender fried chicken I've ever eaten! I'll definitely be back!! read more

I have been to Foragers Canteen three times before. I found the food to be very good each time. Last night, however, was a disappointment. I ordered a sandwich for the first time, a Reuben. The sandwich was totally overwhelmed by the toasted rye bread. A couple of paper thin layers of meat, a slice of cheese, and a small amount of saurkraut. A definite "no" for me. Waaay overpriced too. read more

Wow! What a spot! Our group went into the brewery next door and bartender recommended Forager for food. Glad we took the recommendation. We ordered Brussel sprouts, chicken chips, shrimp po boy tacos, sweet potato tots, and the shrimp and grits. Everything was amazing. We ordered for pick up and ate at the brewery by the creek. Everything was good. The tacos, tots, shrimp and grits were great. We went back and ordered the pork chop with grits and that was tasty; I'd go back for this. Worth a visit if you're in the area. We were here in February, so it was off-season and no crowds, but I heard the place can get packed with the train stop and when the weather is nicer. read more

Great food and atmosphere and service!! Every one that works there seems happy to see you come in!

Food is wonderful. Has an upscale menu but casual atmosphere. We got the shrimp & grits, and being a shrimpers daughter, I can testify it was great southern cooking. read more

Wonderful food! I had shrimp po boy taco. Large pieces of shrimp, outstanding sauces and wonderful tastes. Sweet potato tots with sugar and brown sugar! Out of this world taste. Scallops special, wonderful. Great service, I will be back. read more

Food was good I will go back. The service is very slow. The outside area is cozy the inside was ok. Overall good place and nice people.

The food was fantastic and the service was great. The pecan crusted trout with blueberries was high quality.

I will start by saying the food was amazing and very fresh. The goat in the garden salad is very refreshing and I suggest getting the green goddess dressing. The service is SLOW. If you are looking for a quick place to grab a bite this is not it. It took well over 30 minutes after we ordered to receive our food. If you sit outside the view by the creek is lovely. I would revisit but plan for it to take a while next time. read more

Visiting WCU, this place came recommended for lunch. We love Dillsboro anyways & gave it a shot. Caroline was our server & she was ON POINT! For real, she kept our cups full, she got the order 100% correct. She communicated and was super friendly. The food... we tried so many items off the menu & everything was hands-down fantastic! Everything! We'll definitely be back on our next visit. read more

What a surprise! We expected a burger joint and found a creative gourmet kitchen. The atmosphere is casual, pub-type western but the food is top notch yummy. Creative for sure, try the deep fried deviled eggs. Gourmet for sure, experience the Wild mushroom gnocchi, deep mushroom flavor, soft gnocchi and , for us, added flavorful chicken. If the train is in, look hard for Foragers, it's hidden behind the train. You won't be disappointed. read more

A group of us met tonight for dinner at Foragers Canteen. Several of us have eaten there before and it was an easy choice! One had the Kitchen Sink Burger (huge!), three of us had Depot Burgers, and the others tried other dishes. The food was absolutely delicious - the Depot Burger is, in my opinion, the best burger in western NC! Not only is the food great at Foragers, the atmosphere and service sets the standard! Jessie F took excellent care of our group of eight. Our glasses were never empty and our orders came out quick. Many thanks, Jessie! read more

Stopped in Dillsboro at a cute place along the old railroad tracks. I ordered the "Back Porch" burger. Oh my goodness, was it absolutely delicious!! The burger was cooked to perfection, a fried green tomato, candied bacon and a nice heap of pimento cheese. I was supposed to share with my husband, but I only gave him 2 bites. Our server, Caroline was very sweet and had so much southern charm. Whenever we are passing through this area again we will for sure make the stop. read more

We stopped in before going to the polar express and it didn't disappoint. I had one of the seasonal specialty drinks which was hot chocolate with peppermint shnaps and it was so good. The fried deviled eggs were to die for. I had the BLT tacos and they were phenomenal. The tater tots were sweet and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar (sooo tasty!). They use sweet tea chicken in the tacos and it was so tender and moist. We also got an order of the Brussels sprouts as an appetizer and I could've eaten them all. So good!! My daughter had the pasta which was really good and exceptional for the kids menu. I tried some of the apple butter sandwich someone else in my party got (I was too nervous to get it myself) and it was 10/10. The service was excellent. Definitely stop in if you're in the area it will not disappoint. read more

This restaurant was perfect! My mom and I were visiting for the day and decided to have an early dinner. Everything on the menu made our mouths water. The Brussels sprouts, broccoli and sweet potato tots were as delicious as our entrees (Cajun trout for me and Depot burger for my mom). Great drink selection and fun decor too. The service was amazing from the hostess, our server (Chelsea b) and the bartender all made us feel special!!! read more

Servers are polite when busy and the food is always a 10/10 for me. Their drinks are tasty and the farm style decor is cozy.

We somewhat stumbled into Foragers Canteen when the place we planned to go to lunch at turned up to be closed but that turned out to be great news for us. We were able to get a table and our waitress came and got us drinks. The menu had a lot to offer so I wasn't sure what to go with but once I fully read over the Foragers Shrimp & Grits I new that's what I had to go with. I comes with Blackened Shrimp, Chicken Apple Sausage, a Low Country Cream Sauce over Smoked Gouda Grits, Amazing! Our food came out within about 10-15 minutes and wow the Shrimp and Grits looked amazing. Lots of large blackened shrimp and all covered in a cream sauce. My first bite was great. The cream sauce rich and the shrimp perfectly cooked with just a bit and spice from the blackening, and sweetness from the chicken apple sausage to pull it all together. Easily the best Shrimp & Grits in Dillsboro/Sylva and probably in my top 5 of all time. Trust me that's saying a lot because Shrimp & Grits is my go to and I almost get it whenever I seen it on the menu. We will for sure be coming back. read more

My new favorite restaurant. Fabulous food and great service. We started with the Brussels sprouts and oh my goodness - delicious! I had The Blacksmith salad and it's one of the best salads I've had in my life. My son had the sweet tea chicken and he practically licked the plate. I highly recommend this restaurant! My only regret is that I did not eat here sooner. We will definitely be back on our next trip. read more

The food was really good and came out quick. We received the sweat fire blt tacos and the boxcar piggy. Both were really good. The restaurant is very nice. Nice bar area. It's not a huge place but very welcoming. The service was a little lacking. For the amount of space and number of servers. The service could have been a little better. read more
