This place was wonderful. My daughter loved the chicken salad and I loved the fried green tomatoes. The bbq french fries are addicting!

We had a delicious lunch here! The caesar salad was unusual and excellent--do not miss this! And the green tomato/pimento cheese entree was a fun twist on some traditional Southern delights!

Great local food with a flair. This place will not disappoint. The Balsam Smoked BBQ on Johnny cakes, fried green tomatoes sandwiched with layers of pimento cheese, and the flat iron steak was a 10 out of 10. Try the local goat cheese, smooth is an understatement. I would eat here again and again and again, well you get the... More

I came here during a short vacation. I made a reservation for 6 PM, and when we arrived, the hostess was not at her stand. We looked for her and waited almost ten minutes before she came, and despite the many servers walking around the restaurant, no one stopped to assist or acknowledge us. We were 5 minutes early for...

My wife and I ate there while on vacation during the entire last week of May. I had the beef sliders and my wife had the chicken and chorizo flatbread. The beef sliders were excellent, probably one of the best I've ever had. My wife thought the flatbread was good as well, but could not handle a lot of its... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Frogs Leap and you would be hard pressed to find a better restaurant in Waynesville, let along Atlanta or Charlotte. The food from start to finish was great. We started with a soup that was out of this world and a very tasty cheese plate. That was followed by some excellently prepared trout and... More

We ate at this restaurant tonight and the food was excellent! Unfortunately, we didn't think we would need reservations so we ended up having to sit in the bar area, but it actually turned out to be a really pleasant experience. Our waitress, Judi, was superb and the the food was delicious! The restaurant's atmosphere was really nice too! Well,... More

The meal began with the most delicious sweet potato butter I have ever eaten, followed by Meatloaf, mac and cheese, and collard greens to die for. Everything was expertly prepared and absolutely delicious. The atmosphere has a nod to the rustic heritage of Haywood County.
