Riverside - Pisgah Forest

I was skeptical of going here for dinner, only because I’m a weird eater. I don’t eat meat and I feel like you gotta love a greasy burger to really enjoy the bar food experience. I was wrong. They were out of everything (except for fish and chips because it was a Sunday evening and they don’t overbuy food since they are closed Monday and Tuesday. I love this and so appreciate they run out and limit options instead of overbuy and end up having to throw away food. So, the burger loving, meat eaters in the group, and I, all got fish and chips. Insert drool-all-over-myself emoji here. It was soooo good. Side of coleslaw, also delicious. I am a fish fry snob (from northern WI and I feel like we might be fish fry kings of the world? and I will definitely be back for more. Great service. Seemed to have a regulars sort of vibe (which is always fun but welcomed us weirdo outsiders. Go here if you’re in the area.

The Indian curry tater tots at this restaurant were excellent. They were the best tater tots I've ever had, made in-house and roughly the size of a hush puppy. The samosas and sausage rolls were also delicious. This place was a pleasant surprise!

This little place has great food and a very sweet owner that we got to chat about the surrounding area with. Thanks for the tips on finding the local waterfalls!

I highly recommend trying the chicken curry and fish tikka at this cool restaurant. The food is really great.

The food and service at this restaurant were excellent. After a long hike up the mountain, it was a pleasant surprise to be greeted with delicious hot food on the way down. We even played a round of pool, but the food was prepared so quickly that we had to finish the game in a hurry. Our group ordered almost everything on the menu, and everyone agreed that the food was exceptional. We highly recommend stopping by this restaurant if you are in the area.
