Nico’s cafe owner killed in car accident

December 22, 2009

With much sadness, I’d like to pass on the news that Joseph “Joe” Anthony Pipitone, co-owner of Nico’s cafe with his wife Michelle was killed in a car accident on December 18th. Nico’s Cafe is one of our favorite places to stop and grab a sandwich. We always enjoyed talking with Joe, Michelle, and their two daughters there at a the restaurant. Nico, Joe and Michelle’s son is good friends with our son and they go to school together.

We are deeply saddened by Joe’s passing. Michelle, Nicco, Maddie, and Michaela we are so sorry for your loss. We didn’t know Joe real well, but from what I could tell he was a great guy, husband and father. Our most sincere thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Guayabitos Mexican Restaurant Maggie Valley

May 29, 2009

in International, Maggie Valley

Overall:

Guayabitos is small Mexican restaurant located right in the heart of Maggie Valley. While it certainly wouldn’t win any awards for being the fanciest place, it sure should for the food. Guayabitos is a place we visit often with our kids and none of us have had anything on the menu yet that wasn’t delicious. The staff is very very friendly and prompt. If you’re looking for a great Margarita and Mexican food, definitely visit Guayabitos. If you visit during lunch, try the eggs with sausage!

Smokey Mountain Subs, Waynesville NC

May 29, 2009

in Sub Shops, Waynesville

Overall:

Smokey Mountain Subs is located in the heart of downtown Waynesville NC just to the left of the Sweet Onion. We decided to give it a try based on a friends recommendation. They selection of sandwiches is impressive and the prices reasonable. Be aware though: They do not take credit cards. This was actually a big turn off for me and frankly will keep me from eating there again. I use a debit card for everything and never carry cash. The sandwiches are very good, but not as good as I expected. The meat, cheeses and toppings were fresh and very good. If it weren’t for the cash or check requirement, we would go back.

O’Malleys Irish Pub, Waynesville NC

May 29, 2009

in International, Waynesville

Overall:

We’ve been to O’Malleys Irish Pub in downtown Waynesville, NC quit a few times and for the most part enjoy it. O’Malley’s id definitely a pub type of environment, with the primary focus being on the bar area. There is seating and for the most part is adequate. The gem of O’Malley’s is the food. You can expect many of your favorite Irish Pub dishes such as fish and chips and Sheppard’s pie. While not the best I’ve had, it;s really good and the prices are very reasonable. The only complaint we’ve had is that O’Malley’s is a little short staffed sometimes and you have to wait a little longer than normal. Not our favorite place, but definitely one we continue to return to. One thing that has turned us of a bit lately is the bartenders need to play hard rock music far too loudly. Turn it down!

The Old Stone Inn, Waynesville NC

May 29, 2009

in Fine Dining, Waynesville

Overall:

The Old Stone Inn in Waynesville, NC is a treat. Expect your bill to be expensive, but also expect a unique and wonderful dining experience. The Old Stone Inn is part of a local bed and breakfast. The restaurant is located in a building that while built in the 1940’s, looks to have been built in the 1800s. The restaurant is beautiful, the service top notch and the food absolutely excellent. Looking for a high-end place to relax, have a drink and enjoy you dinner by a warm fire, look no further.

Smackers Sports Grill, Waynesville NC

May 29, 2009

in General, Waynesville

Overall:

Smackers Sports Grill is a small local restaurant and bar located halfway between Waynesville and Maggie Valley NC. It’s a common stopping point for bickers traveling through the mountains. But don’t let it’s somewhat ragged appearance turn you off. Smackers is a great place to eat and it won’t drain your wallet either.

Our take: Good food, low prices, relaxed and not super busy. Could be a little cleaner and nicer, but no major complaints. Definitely check it for a good beer and burger.

Bogart’s Restaurant and Tavern Waynesville NC

May 29, 2009

in General, Waynesville

Overall:

Bogart’s is a restaurant that we had heard a great deal about when we first moved here. It was additionally always busy and we assumed it must be a great place to eat. Bogart’s is good, but not great and certainly not as good as we had expected. While we’ve been a few times and enjoyed it, there are definitely better places to eat for money.
