The best thing about J. Arthur's is the setting. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, and the night we were there, they had a cozy fire in the fireplace. The dining room is nice, well balanced to reflect the tourist town of Maggie Valley, but it's not tacky. We had heard that the food was good, but we thought our steak... more

I should have looked at the posted menu outside before I took my party inside. The prices are horrific!! We all ordered steaks and they only came with a baked potato & salad. Everything else is optional and very expensive. My Hushpuppy Shoes were probably more tender than the steaks we got. The staff here were rude and really didn't... more

We had dinner at this place while on vacation in the Maggie Valley area. Doubt we will try it again as it is just average and way overpriced. I had a 12 oz prime rib ($28.00) and it was served with a baked potato and salad. The salad was flooded with dressing so ask for this on the side. The... more

When we arrived there were a few people waiting to be seated. I gave our name to the hostess and asked about how long the wait would be. She seemed annoyed by my question and said about 30 minutes. We had our baby and 3 year old with us, so we went outside to wait so that they could play... more

For overall quality of the dining experience and versatility of the menu, J. Arthur's was a nice find in the Valley. Keeping in mind that this is a tourist area, the prices seemed to be quite reasonable when compared with restaurants with similar types of fare and atmosphere. They were comparable to what you might find in a higher-end theme... more

Small town restaurant with big prices. Table was wobbly. The butterfly shrimp were excellent; however, the steak was average. I would expect to pay their prices in a larger city but not in small town. I had to ask for tea refills twice. The salads that came with the entrees were so-so - server got them mixed up and when... more

Nice and casual atmospher. Some gentlemen were wearing sport coats for dinner, while most were wearing t-shirts and caps. Nice bar area. Nice variety of food to choose from, however it's a bit pricey. My husband had the prime rib, 8 ounce which was $22. The prime rib was served as ordered and was tender and flavorful. Came with a... more

The food was good and the restaurant had a wonderful atmosphere with excellent service. I like their specials, they were very reasonable. more

From what we could tell J Arthurs was the nicest restaurant in Maggie Valley. The server was very nice and the food good, not fabulous. It's very pricey but there are so few good dining options in the area. more
