Willow Tree restaurant in Robbinsville, NC has moved locations but the vibe and food is still the…read moresame. The first time we went to Willow Tree we had the best young server and a great experience with their tasting menu. The tasting menu is gone, but the portions and options are still the same. There is a lack of good places to eat in Robbinsville so it is great to see the Willow Tree finding a new home a up and coming lodge. The trout dip and the fillet were our favorites items. If you get the ribeye, ask for the steak sauce on the side. There is just a lot of it, but it is good. I wish they were making their own Caesar dressing. The one they are using is fine but tasted jarred. Also ask for extra dressing. The grill on the Romain is great, but they aren't putting the dressing between the leaves. I do wish when they were building the lodge they but huge windows that took advantage of the view of the lake. This didn't change the food .

Ambiance is shabby chic, intimate house resto. Multiple dining rooms are small and they have an outdoor patio that has several tables. +. Food is American and their menu changes every week. We had their grilled caesar to start and shared a 14oz prime rib. The fresh 1/2 romain was slightly charred and sprinkled with pre-made dressing. I had it without croutons and my friend had it with. We both enjoyed it. The salad plates though were narrow and an odd shaped which wasn't easiest to support cutting. The prime rib was well done to blue. They don't ask for desired temp. If you prefer specific temp, be aware. This steak was tougher than expected for a typical PR. The sides we picked were butternut squash which was slightly sweet but pleasant. =. Service was mostly good. Our waitress was friendly and prompt. However, I do have a bone to pick. They charge $10 for splitting an entree, BUT they do NOT serve the entree to 2-plates! They brought one entree (as photo'd) and just an empty dinner plate. WE HAD TO cut and plate the 2nd plate ourselves! So they charge $10 for splitting withOUT providing any service :((. If you charge a fee for service, fine. But you SHOULD provide that SERVICE you charge! Also, my salad came with croutons which the waitress quickly remedied. We ordered offered blueberry cobbler for dessert but they were already sold out. It was only about 7:30pm! =. Price is on the higher side and little value for what you get. +. Parking is easy in a private gravel lot. Willow Tree has a nice ambiance, their food was just okay and their upcharge for service NOT provided was a turn off. Not sure if they are looking for repeat customers... There aren't many choices for restaurants around Robbinsville. I'll be packing food prior to coming up this way next time. MY RATINGS - - - Inhumane - - Disgusted - Don't bother = Missed the Mark +. Good ++ Better +++ EDIBLE... WHERE have you bee my LiFe!

We intended to have breakfast after registering for events at Fontana Village; found ourselves driving back to Robbinsville as their restaurant didn't have enough staff to open. Headed down the mountain; my GF who is a diabetic went probably the lowest I've ever seen her go. Super close to passing out. We stopped and got candy out of the trunk, stopped again to steal my buddy's Dr. Pepper out his car behind us. Hit triple digits on the speedo to get her to more food! Once we arrived we escorted her in and got her sat down. Flagged the waitress down for an immediate food order. Sure enough, her plate came out of the kitchen lightning fast. Once she was munching we ordered drinks and the rest of the meals. I don't understand the negative reviews; any place that has homemade gravy like my late Granny's back in Texas is top notch in my books. Egg cooked to order; bacon requested soft was a no problem. Hashbrowns were decent. I seriously will skip the fast food options for another I'm coming back next year and I'm visiting again!

They literally have every fast food and chain dining experience on one block, but I didn't know that at the time but I'm tired of road trip Food so wanted to sit down for a good meal! Pulling into the parking lot and I was overwhelmed because it was huge and very crowded! We go to the desk and they tell us 25 minutes. This place was huge and very accommodating, they were getting people to their tables fast! We noticed two empty seats at the bar, so we opted to take them and had the pleasure of being served by Robert. He was attentive, made sure our waters were always full. He gave recommendations on his favorite dishes and was all around a great bartender! The guy working the other end of the bar was equally as professional. The ambience is a dark cool vibe, little trendy but people were dressed pretty casually! Answer the most important thing...The food! For an app, we got the beer, cheese fondue that came with apples, bread and pretzels. The beer cheese had a little bit of ooomph to it, which was refreshing because usually I'm not a big mustard person. The pretzel bites were incredible crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The apples were fresh all around the appetizer for 3 to 4 people so we took extra home. I ordered the 10 ounce sirloin cooked, medium with the web sweet potatoes and a side Caesar salad for a three dollar charge which ended up being a full-size salad! It was super fresh and gigantic for a side salad. The steak was cooked perfectly, in the middle with an insane sear. Their house, butter that they put on it truly elevated the flavor profile. I tried the sweet potatoes mashed and they were enjoyable, but I do not enjoy a sweet side with my food so I knew I was going to donate them to my husband and he said they were incredible, the flavor was definitely there just not my cup of tea, but I knew that from the beginning . He got the Caesar salad with grilled chicken! It had so much flavor and tastes incredible but yet melted in your mouth it was the most tender chicken I've ever had in my life, and the flavor was all there! Not even the slightest bit of any kind of dryness. One of the best bites of chicken I've ever had.! He ordered the bison meatloaf to go, and that comes with caramelized mashed potatoes and fried onion straws.... It smells incredible and I will update when we try it . * UPDATE: best meatloaf ever!!! Based on the quality/ experience on a very busy night- everything was phenomenal and I will return. Service 10/5 Food 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Value 5/5

SmashCity wasn't far off of the interstate, it had good ratings and although we'd been eating burgers and fries quite a bit on this roadtrip, a good burger and fries really sounded good. All of the reviews were right on - this was absolutely NOT fast food - it was fast, really fast, but the speed was just bonus. As we usually do, we split. We chose the Carolina BBQ smash. The burgers were juicy - if you're not careful, I guarantee you'll be wearing it. Two critiques, it definitely needed more sauce - I just added some of the SmashCity sauce from our fries and it worked but I really would have liked to have had more BBQ sauce. Second, the fried onions were quite burned. I pulled off most of them. The hand cut fries were piping hot, just the right amount of greasy and seasoned perfectly. Splitting the burger was a good call - I'd never have eaten the whole thing myself. The burger and fries were just over $20. When you consider a Big Mac meal at that clown place is $14, SmashCity is almost a bargain. Paul, the owner was like the energizer bunny - he was everywhere at once. Personality oozed from his pores. Make sure you tell him Sue said hi! (He won't remember me but just say hi anyway!) Now I wouldn't say SmashCity has the best burgers - that award goes to our friend Jerry. He makes a pretty mean smash burger on the blackstone. If you have an extra half hour, skip the fast food burger joints, get off that highway, and go let Paul fill your belly for the rest of your trip! You'll appreciate it!
