    We were pleasantly surprised the our meal at Riverwalk Grill! Our waitress was so kind and helpful. The rolls with homemade cinnamon butter were to die for! We could have eaten six each! The French onion soup was alright, not my favorite thing but the melted cheese on top was delicious. My partner was a not a huge fan of the BBQ pork stuffed potato- he felt like there was not enough BBQ sauce and flavor. The s'mores lava cake was not good; it was not a traditional lava cake and pretty disappointing. The "spice cake" was dry and we were not even sure what the lava center was. It would be SO much better as a traditional chocolate cake with a fudge filling. After talking to our waitress, it sounds like many customers feel the same about it.

    Good food, good service. Complimentary bread with a cinnamon butter. Our waitress was very nice. With tip it was $90 for the 4 of us.

    We had the best time at River walk grille!! Started off strong with house butter and rolls. I've been for burgers before which were phenomenal, this time I opted for the wedge salad and the blue cheese dressing made in house. The blue cheese dressing was the best I've ever had and has ruined me for any other salad dressing!!! Also - just look at this steak!!! Great atmosphere, great for a date night or a family meal!! The staff is very friendly and helpful, great service and very clean!

    Restaurant front and burger

    Short review: 5+Stars..inexpensive food, incredible service, and literally the BEST burger I've EVER had(Brasstown beef, twice in a week), and I've had a lot of burgers!.. Longer review: I ride thru Franklin once or twice a yr and struggle to find decent food. Found and stopped in the new Riverwalk Grille for lunch (opened April or May 25).. Tori-the hostess and server Christa, and the food were absolutely amazing!. Fancy water bottles, great napkins, and the $12-$14 8oz burgers were literally the best I've ever had! We don't usually stop at the same place twice but went back to confirm it wasn't an anomaly, and was just as great the second time! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

    Menu. Doesn't say but the burgers are smash burgers.

    The Scotsman is a great Scottish pub that happens to serve pub food, and I think that's the right…read moreway to walk in. The space itself is genuinely grand, well-decorated, comfortable seating, a nice billiards room, and (maybe the highest compliment you can pay a pub) no old-bar smell or locals that make you feel out of place. The bathrooms were clean. The whole place was clean. For a neighborhood spot built around long conversations, it delivers. The drinks are the reason to come. The Riesling on the menu was good, and the winter bourbon (infused with apple), actually tasted spirited. What I appreciated most: no snootiness. Some Scottish and Irish pubs get precious about sticking to the house whisky program and gently disapprove if you order a cocktail or wine. Not here. They let you drink what you want to drink. Service was friendly and checked in at a good cadence. One note: the food came out way too fast. Appetizers hit the table, and the mains arrived about a minute later; we barely got into the fried cheese curds or tandoori fries before everything else was competing for space. The tandoor twist on the fries was a fun surprise, but generally the food read as average pub food. The salmon was dry (lesson learned: order it medium rare next time). The mashed potatoes on the shepherd's pie were the real highlight. 3.5 Stars. Credit where it's due: the menu is wide and actually vegan- and vegetarian-friendly, which is rarer than it should be in a pub, and there is a general playfulness in the atmosphere. What would push it higher: food that matches the level of the space, the excellent service, and the drinks. Pace out the courses, the salmon needs help, and strengthen the dishes a notch. We'll go back, just not for the salmon. The room, the drinks, and the staff all brought their A-game. The kitchen brought a B-game.

Everything about the restaurant was so special, amazing location for a sunset dinner, perched high above the Blue Ridge Mountains - amazing views. The best thing is if you stay at the Skyline Lodge, it's just steps away from your room and that comes in super handy when it's brunch time! We were fortunate enough to enjoy these two meals; dinner & brunch with our kids (who are foodies too) and they are now huge fans of Oak Steakhouse. They said it was the best steak they ever had, you can't go wrong with the Filet! The menu is not huge but really has all of the dishes you would want for an amazing dinner. Plenty of options, even if you don't eat steak. Amazing sides to accompany each dish and you must start with the bread, which is made in-house. I went with a dish I have not tried before and it did not disappoint, Venison Wellington while my wife tried the trout. I will let the photos do the talking. They also pour an amazing espresso martini by the way and to finish you have to try the chocolate cake, trust me! We also want to give a shot out to all of the staff and servers; their attention to detail and overall service was outstanding! Seems to be the case at all Indigo Road establishments, they really know hospitality. We cannot recommend Oak Steakhouse enough, even if you're not staying there but in the Highlands of NC make sure you give them a visit.

Our server was very friendly and (unprompted) comped our bread service after a lengthy delay. Once received, the bread was amazing and went nicely with my lettuce wedge salad. The entrees were excellent as well, with my wife loving her risotto and my steak frites being top notch with fork-tender beef and amazing truffle fries. The portions are generous so to-go bags are a common sight. Oak is not inexpensive, but clearly the value is there if you are looking for a proper steakhouse experience near Highlands.

My wife had the veal Marsala, and I had the delicious pasta pistachio. Both were excellent! We wanted to try the gelato but were too full!

    New Italian restaurant in Murphy above Chevelle's and owned by the same family (shared entrance…read moretoo). That's where the similarities end however. Once you go up the stairs, you can see this is an upscale establishment. There's a nice bar area, piano playing and well around 10-15 tables. The interior is quite nice, though it's a bit bright inside for fine dining. We sat at the bar and had great service all night. Drinks were well made with quality ingredients. One strange thing... the kitchen is at the end of the bar and avail for all to see. While this is a positive, it's a bit small and I question how it'll scale if the restaurant was full. Of note, the dish cleaning area is next to the kitchen - also in the open and is a bit noisy. Not a huge deal, but worth a mention. To the food - we had 2 pasta dishes, the Carbonara and Pistachio pasta. The Carbonara was good, but the Pistachio dish was amazing. The menu did a poor job of explaining what's in the dish, but the staff was able to fill us in. It was a cream sauce with sautéed onions, prosciutto and crushed Pistachios. The flavor was fantastic. The wine list is pretty basic with few red options. This area needs some work. They should also allow a corkage fee to permit folks to bring higher end wine. The folks next to us had the Bruschetta and Lasagne and said both were great. Nice new addition to Murphy that will only keep getting better as they work out the kinks.
