With the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad and the famous Road to Nowhere, the small town of Bryson City in North Carolina is a must for any train or outdoor enthusiast around. You can easily spend a weekend or longer in this small mountain town of just under 1,500 people and in doing so, you’d be remiss to skip having a meal at The Bistro at the Everett Hotel.

It's located only steps from Main Street and found on the corner in a distinctively red brick building.

Start the meal with a soup or salad. The menu features soups like She Crab Soup, Chili con Carne, and French Onion. And salads are aplenty and prepared fresh with each order.
