    Walked into a local sports bar in western North Carolina and felt like we'd walked into a…read moreJacksonville bar back home. Our hostel host pointed us here, and the second we stepped in, we were greeted by Jaguars jerseys on the wall, Mark Brunell and Jimmy Smith. Then we got seated, and right above our table was Fred Taylor's Florida Gators jersey along with a picture of the Swamp. All three of us at the table were Jacksonville guys, so between the Jags gear and the Gators tie-in, it felt like home before we'd even ordered. We all got the wings, and they were excellent. This place oven roasts them first, then fries to crisp up the skin, no breading involved, and that combination does something special to the flavor. Best wings I've had in a while. One of my buddies also ordered a margarita and said it was excellent. Service was great throughout, and the price landed right in that sweet spot, not cheap, but not expensive for what we got either. Fair value across the board. If you're ever in Franklin and want a spot that feels like home even when you're hundreds of miles from it, this is the place.

My family also ordered fried mushrooms. This stuff took 16 minutes to come out. Taste-wise, everything tasted really amazing! The Pepsi was great, the fried mushrooms were scrumptious, the burger was amazing, although things got a little messy. And obviously, the fries tasted amazing. Can't wait to come back!

    Stopped in at The Junction Pub after the lunch rush, arrived at 1:15. We ordered our drinks and our…read moremeal. We gave up on the meal at 2. The waitress was apologetic for the delay, it wasn't her fault, not sure what was going on in the kitchen, but many customers were upset about the slow meal preparation. Update!!! Now known as Speedy's Pizza and Pub. Things are 100% better. The food, pizza, was delicious and hot. We had the daily special, two slices of pizza and a drink for $10. The manager took care of us and we were very happy with everything. There was a good number of patrons and the restaurant was clean and the seating was comfortable.

    Excited to have a new restaurant opened in Sylva. What our favorite part about this one is that's…read moreit's the closest restaurant to by in-laws house. We could walk here if we wanted and we are big fans of that. We came in when they had first opened so they were still figuring things out which I completely understand plus the hurricane coming through recently did help either. Looking over the menu they have a lot of your typical bar/pub options but a few you don't always find too. Looking for the drinks I was able to find my classic for Sylva but with a new name this time. At the Junction Pub it goes by the Loose Caboose which is a shot (for me Whiskey of course) and a beer which I picked Busch Light. You can't beat it. Our waitress brought our drinks and we ordered. I ended up going with the wings (12) tossed in Honey Sriracha. Our food came out pretty quickly which was nice. The sauce for the wings was good. Spicy with a nice sweetness but not overly sweet which can sometimes happen. For sure still had the kick I wanted. The wings for the most part were good. Cooked perfectly and nice and crispy. I will say I few of them were on the smaller side but you also got some monsters too to even it out. The service was excellent, and our waitress was extremely friendly and help us with questions throughout our meal. For sure a nice local pub we will be coming to often.
