Drove in from Florida and wanted to tryout something new. After spending 13 hours in a car we wanted to just sit down and eat. Service was excellent! So let me clarify, you don't have a waiter or waitress, you order at the counter and get your own condiments and utensils from a communal table. All of that I was fine with! The girl behind the register was nice as were the young ladies who brought us our food, in a timely fashion and piping hot!
Now the food!
I got the Killer tomato soup and the kale Caesar salad with avocado. The soup was too bland for my liking but the salad was excellent! Could've used more dressing, but the kale added and the avocado really made it quite good! My wife ordered the pizza, it was dry and tasted like it was reheated. Now if it were fresh, 7/10, but reheated, 4/10. My kids got the fried chicken sandwich and the chicken tenders kids meal. They didn't complain and I didn't sneak a bite so I can't give a review of that. Anyway, more was ordered at the table but everyone's review of the food was it was mid. The ambience and setting are gorgeous and downtown Sylva is beautiful at night at this time of year. We may have gotten there too late to get a real taste for the food.

This place was doing a brisk business on a Wednesday night. And it's trivia night to boot. Bonus points for that!
Co-located with Lazy Hiker Brewery, this walk-up window pumps out some great food. I had the General J's salad. It was all good. The chicken was tender and well glazed with a seasoned sauce. The pickled onion and carrot added crunch and tang. The rice is filling, and the kale gives you that feeling that you're eating healthy
I'll try the pizzas if I come back. Having the Lazy Biker options in the same building is a bonus.
I have to give this place a recommendation.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Aug 20, 2023
I have to say mad bad was amazing
I enjoyed my Korean pork barbecue rice dish
I have to say the service was fast, efficient, courteous
And straight to the point
Ambience resembled like Hall I felt like it was a place where you can listen to music and have some good food.
I can say that I'll be back there againHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 2186209Oct 19, 2023
This small kitchen is attached to the Sylva Lazy Hiker Brewery! You order at the counter and find a seat at the brewery and they bring it out to you. Great ambiance inside and out. Shaded patio with plenty of seating. Pups allowed inside and out! We enjoyed some beers, a band, and split a pizza. We loved the pepperoni pizza, it had a great crust !! My favorite beer was the sling pack. Lots of other great looking items on the menu, and some daily specials. We'd love to come back and try more.

We were wanting to get pizza and I had never had Mad Batters pizza so we decided to give them a try. We went with too of the favorites 14 inch pies that being the High on the Hog which is a meats pizza and then also got the Supreme which everyone knows what that is (but with no peppers) Our pizza would be ready within 15 to 20 minute so quickly we headed that way. Once arriving our pizzas were ready. Once home the pizzas did look good but the Supreme did end up still having the peppers on it. I will also say they also were not loaded with toppings but but didn't stop us from quickly getting into them. The crust was pretty thin which I liked and the flavor of the sauce was very good. This made for a very crushable pizza. I probably finished 4 slices in about 5 minutes. I was also a fan of the fact that the pepperoni they use are the big ones. Will for sure have to get the 16 inch pies next time though but we will for sure be coming back.

Wow! Fast friendly service and amazing food! We had Korean wings - SO TASTY $18/12; pretzels and beer cheese - serious homemade perfection! We also had a pepperoni pizza and Korean BBQ pork bowl. It was later (8:30 pm) so we took our food to go but the dining room was super laid back and welcoming- they serve doggy dishes too.
The Korean pork bbq was so delicious! I ate half and took the rest for lunch the next day. I seriously dreamed about it!
Headed back this weekend- I'll snap pictures then!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Aug 4, 2023
Nice little pub grub restaurant inside of the Lazy Hiker tap room. Burger was very good, fries or chips were extra. Kitchen was pretty quick, no complaints. Order at the register and they bring the food, no wait staff because the bar is a separate business - worked for us.

I finally visited this little restaurant on Main Street.
We were pleasantly surprised, first of all, to even learn Mad Batter was there, and we eat lunch on Main Street often.
But, looking on Yelp, there it was, so you know we HAD to go check it out. The menu online had some interesting dishes. Let's go!
You enter and go down a hallway to the restaurant. Just as it opens, there's a stand to your right; you order your food here.
Hubby had the pork bbq plate, and I had the curry with added chicken. His salad looked amazing and fresh, and the veggies in my curry were crispy-yum.
I'm sure we will visit again - you should, too!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0 - 233941442Sep 30, 2022
