BearWaters Brewing Company: Creekside
The stout here genuinely tastes like a Reese's cup, and the blackened cherry pork tenderloin and bison-elk-beef burger hold their own beside it. Tables sit right along the creek, pets welcome on the patio, and Steve's live piano fills the room. Best for families and beer-curious groups who don't mind service that runs hot and cold.
Maggie Valley
J Arthur's Restaurant
The filet and prime rib get the most praise at J Arthur's, along with French onion soup, pecan bourbon chicken and mozzarella sticks big enough to share. Portions are large and prices are a bit high. It suits families with big appetites and couples marking a special occasion, especially on weekend prime rib nights.
Maggie Valley
Pop's Butts On The Creek LLC
Smokey wings, ribs and brisket get the most praise here, best eaten on the dog-friendly porch beside a rushing creek. Inside, a glass sculptor may be at work in the lobby, and staff are careful about allergies. It suits BBQ fans, couples and families who don't mind slower service at peak times.
