The Rivers and Rails Tavern: Reviews & Ratings
My husband and I had had lunch here yesterday and that was my 3rd lunch there. The food and service are consistently good. We love Mexican food but are a little tired of big plates of rice and beans. My husband had street tacos and I had ahi tuna tacos. They tasted fresh and healthy. Our waitress Alicia was great - both friendly and professional. We will be going back and bringing friends.
We came here with family and were excited to try a place that was close to where we live and is local. The atmosphere is comfortable and cozy. We basically were seated immediately and our server was super nice, I sadly forgot their name. I ordered the chicken strips with house ranch and my boyfriend got the sour cream and cheddar drop biscuits and gravy. The chicken strips were not life-changing, but they were pretty good. I think that maybe two cups of sauce would suffice, though. The fries were good as well, and I ended up sharing some of them with my table because I felt like I ate a lot of food. The sour cream and cheddar drop biscuits with the gravy were super good, and I really wanted to try something off of their all-day brunch menu, so I got to have the best of both worlds by trying a bite of this dish. Overall, we had a nice experience here, and I would definitely like to come back to try more of their menu.
By far one of the best places I have eaten! The Bloody Marys were amazing and so was the rest of the food. The employees were friendly and the atmosphere was on point. I can't wait to come back and try something new
Best damn food in WNC! The RNR burger was perfectly cooked and seasoned..the Garlic Truffle Fries were divine..the Cubano was one of the best I've had outside of Ybor City and the Beignets..OMG..best I've had. Rachel our Server was absolutely fantastic! Thank god we're locals and can come back often!!!
The service here is great! It's got a chill and comforting vibe. I have loved everything I have tried here. The steak bites, the burgers (big & messy as a good burger should be), the buffalo chicken sandwich, the street tacos, and the parmesean truffle fries. I am a huge garlic fan - so to me the parmesean truffle fries are the bomb.
Great lunch. Took a bit to get food, but was very tasty. Server was very pleasant. We're in on a Saturday afternoon. Same days a classic car show
We found this hidden gem on our way to Asheville from Bryson City. The atmosphere was so quaint, service was phenomenal, and the food outstanding! Will definitely return if we're in the area again.
Hidden gem, FANTASTIC PLACE!!!! Esthetically pleasing, atmosphere on point, service was wonderful, and the food was top notch! No complaints, just great experience all around!! We got chips and salsa, the NY strip steak, and the classic burger. Fries were homemade! THE CHIPS WERE HOMEMADE AND SO GOOD! Salsa was great! Burger thick and juicy, thickest patty I've had on a restaurant burger, with the crispy toasted bun and fresh toppings. When it came out, it smelled amazing!!! Steak was juicy and flavorful as medium. Mashed potatoes are so flavorful, too! This restaurant is sooooo good!
