Food was delicious The soft pretzels were to die for! my husband and I didn’t care for the beer cheese but my daughter and her dad loved it! Loved the vibe and environment! You order at the counter and they bring your food. They have custom IPA’s if you love beer I give it a 4.8 out 5 stars

We stopped in after a paddling trip based on a recommendation from our great friend. The garlic fries were served hot and fresh with just the right amount of seasoning. My wife and I split a salad that was crisp and delish. We ordered the pizza and a gluten free pizza for two of our kiddos and both pizzas were scarfed before we could blink an eye. Needless to say, the food was delicious. The Mt. Katahdin brew was a nice addition to the meal! The kiddos loved sitting in the balcony. On of the staff told us that the building used to be a theater and that we were sitting where the projector used to be! How fun!

I was thrilled to be able to join in the Thursday Open Jam session! We were visiting from Louisiana and I had brought my rubboard along. The casual atmosphere was welcoming and the “High on the Hog” pizza was delicious!

Great taproom. Really well made beer. Haven’t had food in a while, but the pizzas are usually decent. The vibe can be a touch different at times and it’s not the warmest taproom in town but not too off-putting that one I don’t come and enjoy a delicious beer while in town.

Every year we travel to the Sylva area for our Anniversary and this year we were fortunate enough to catch a band playing. Cool little place that you must check out!

Cool place and convenient location in the middle of Silva. The restaurant is laid back with a pretty cool vibe. The menu is innovative and concept is great. I can see this being awesome in the evening with live music and the beer flowing. However, I was there in the daytime for lunch and without the excitement of people, alcohol, and live music to add to the ambiance, I thought the food was just okay. No complaints, just nothing to brag about either. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Recently stopped here while staying at Harrahs Cherokee. It was a quick drive and worth the visit. They have a great selection of craft brews and the food was just what i needed. Tried the Korean pork bowl, dry rub wings, and a supreme pizza. All were outstanding.

First time visiting Lazy Hiker and I was pleasantly surprised. We sampled a flight of their house brews to decide a full pour or two. I’m an IPA guy, my wife leans toward stouts and porters—and both of us found something to enjoy. I went for the NEIPA: smooth, flavorful, and refreshingly crushable on a hot day. No MBAT either, which was a plus.
Food-wise, we grabbed seats at the bar since the shaded tables in the back were taken. I ordered the pub burger with chips and pub cheese. The burger was the kind I prefer—thicker and cooked rare-to-medium rare—not a smash burger (which are everywhere in Sylva lately). The pub cheese was creamy, cheddar-based (I think), with a bit of a southwestern kick. Also tried the wings: not jumbo, but definitely not tiny. Good texture and a solid buffalo sauce with just enough heat to keep things interesting.
The one con, you are ordering from two different business’s, the Lazy Hikers, and whatever the name of the food service was, sorry, can’t remember. Kind of like a food truck, but inside kitchen in the establishment. You pay at the bar, they keep your card vs just swyping, and then when you order at the food window, they have to bring your CC over to swype on their terminal, not terrible, just odd!
Service was excellent—attentive and friendly. Even though we live a couple of counties away, this is one we’ll make a point to revisit when we’re nearby.

Great place to grab a w i d e variety of excellent brews. Eclectic smaller venue until you step outside. Great patio area. The entire brewery is dog friendly! The amber was tasty as was the porter! We didn’t try the food but those who did said it was excellent!
