I will say, they need to add ketchup and real salt to their stand. I had to pick up some from Chick-fil-A since they only had a salt/pepper mix and the salt didn't taste like salt. I'd like to stop back by and try more options.

If your crew has to stay indoors at HPM you have to endure the noise and uncomfortable chairs at the food court, but I stumbled upon the Portobello Sandwich at Beni's. If you choose the combo option and pick the beans and rice you get a protein rich meal that is hot and actually tastes pretty good. A discerning pallet is something that takes a bit of work, but you can be rewarded if you stay focused. This one meal at Beni's is one of those rewards.

During a visit to McCaysville, we stopped at Rum Cake Lady Cuban Café while exploring the area as…read morepart of our day riding the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway. As a South Florida native who is obsessed with Cuban food, I had read the reviews beforehand and was really hoping they would live up to the hype and thankfully, they absolutely did. Walking into this place felt like a little piece of home while on vacation. The fresh pastelitos, tostadas, house-made rum cake, and a cafecito were exactly what I didn't know I needed that day. Everything is made in-house, and you can taste the care and authenticity in every bite. Finding such great Cuban food in another state truly felt like the cherry on top of the trip. Aesthetically, the space is full of Cuban pride. The walls share the story of how the Rum Cake Lady came to exist, and it's genuinely beautiful to read about the journey behind the business while you're there enjoying the food. What stood out to me the most was how busy the place was long lines and lots of traction yet the staff remained friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout it all. That kind of hospitality makes a big impression. Thankfully, after a quick search, I discovered there's another Rum Cake Lady Cuban Café location not too far from the cabin we were staying at in Blue Ridge. Of course, we had to go back this time for dinner ordering the classic media noche! If you're visiting the area and craving something authentic and full of flavor, this place is a must. I'm really hoping they continue to expand, because what they've created is truly special.

Best Cuban sandwich in the area. This place doesn't look great but the food is fantastic…read more The plantains are outstanding. Get the Cuban coffee too. Nice job y'all!

30 bucks for two people to eat? So hard to do now a days. There's nothing fancy about this place,…read morethe ambiance is pretty low key and everything is served in styrofoam containers. They were out of fried plantains when we came which was a HUGE disappointment as that was one of the reasons we came but it made me try something new that turned out to be yummy. We enjoy this place and staff are efficient at their jobs.

Best Cuban food in the Appalachians! Had a Cuban sandwich, drinks and authentic flan. Really great!read more

Blairsville, Georgia~ Stopped in after reading the great…read morereviews. The owner was sweetly gruff! He told us he was from Cuba and raised in Miami. His wife and daughter are the cooks. The cafe is inviting although sparse. Chicky bowl had good flavor and the yellow rice really set off the flavor of the chicken. My lunch mate said it reminded her of a chicken cacciatore dish. Piggy bowl was really delicious with two different kinds of beans. The shredded pork was a nice blend of tart and crispy. Unfortunately the Cuban sammy left a lot to be desired. The bread was dry and hard, without any flavor. Yes it was "pressed " but we expected a sandwich with plenty of juicy meat and cheese hanging over the sides! Not so. Very little mayo or mustard to cut the dry bread, one pickle, and very little meat. (See photo) Three of us had the Cuban. All 3 of us agreed that this would not be something to recommend. One of my lunch mates had the schnitzel sandwich. The pork loin was breaded, dry and had no flavor. He also said he would not recommend this sammy. Overall, this would be a one and done for all of us. We are from Orlando and have some spectacular Cuban sandwich restaurants here. Lots of locals with great Cuban roots.

Tried Potato Island for the first time for dinner tonight. We are in the mood for some comfort food…read moreand saw this food truck in the corner of the Cherokee Outlets plaza. We were expecting a regular size baked potato and some toppings. Boy were we beyond surprised when our order was ready and it weighed as much as a newborn! I ordered the islander and the sauces were amazing, the potato is smooth and buttery/creamy. Definitely a MASSIVE portion so you could eat several times off of one order. We will definitely be back again!

The potatoes are so massive no way you can eat a whole one in one sitting. The flavors they get are so delicious very well prepared on both potatoes we got I couldn't do better myself.
