"We had a good time. The bartender, Ethan, was really helpful with his suggestions. We started with the goat cheese fritters. There were 3 to the order which seemed a little small. The seasonal pepper jelly that came with it was on the sweet side and a nice complement to the tanginess of the goat cheese. G had the fried chicken sandwich and he really liked it. It came with hand-cut fries which had this seasoning on it that contained nutmeg. It was definitely unexpected but a little too nutmeg-forward. I would ask for it without the seasoning. I had the chicken pot pie and it was to die for! It was the epitome of comfort food. I wanted to go swimming in the pot pie gravy. It came with a side salad of butter lettuce and honey walnut vinaigrette. To me, the dressing had too much red wine vinegar. I had read about their 3 shareable items, which were: Dad’s Tomato Pie, Macaroni and Cheese, and the Collard Green Casserole. We ordered those to-go and brought them home. All had a faintly sweet note to them because of the biscuit crumble on top. The mac and cheese is a stick-to-your-ribs dish that could be a meal in itself and had a nice smoky flavor. The collards were incredible and the tomato pie was very good. If you’re in the Waynesville area, I would highly recommend Birchwood Hall!"
