Food

NOTE--Robbinsville is a tiny town and good dining options are limited! Also, this is a dry county so most places don't serve alcohol
Our favorite dining spot in the area. In the opposite direction as Robbinsville, on the road headed toward the Tail of the Dragon. Good pizza, burgers, salad, etc. next to the beautiful Cheoah River. Alcohol served, including a decent selection of local beers on tap. Reservations recommended, otherwise you may have to wait.

Fine dining in a pretty setting. On the other side of the lake, ~25 minute drive. Reservations required, no kids under 12 (I think…maybe call them to make sure).
