Going to ride the Dragon? Fuel up on some of the very best food in NC first! For anyone who is traveling to that part of our beautiful state, you have to stop by Sweetwater. John and Cathy at the Dragon's Rest Inn suggested it when we asked where we should go for dinner. We went for dinner and breakfast... more

Not a single negative thing to say about this wonderful restaurant. We discovered it on a trip to Fontana and the Skyway and could not have been more thrilled. I will think of many excuses to go in that direction so I can have the pleasure again. I had the most amazing sirloin philly cheese steak loaded with sauteed mushrooms,... more

We've stayed in Robbinsville a few times and hadn't had any luck finding good, tasty, satisfying food until we decided to give Sweetwater BBQ a try. We were in for such a big surprise! It was clean, the service was friendly... more

The is THE BEST BBQ I had in the entire state of North Carolina!! I found the folks there were very friendly and helpful. Within the next few days of my stay I returned multiple times ordering different items (not just the bbq). It seemed like each meal was better than the one before. The bbq pork was moist and... more
