    Heath flurry
    Jill B.

    There was a pretty long line that looked like an amusement park ride line when we pulled up. There is a sign that says you can order online and skip the line but I did not see what website we could order on to do that so my husband hopped in line. The wait wasn't terrible for how long it originally appeared to be, but that was just to order. Since we had already eaten we only ordered flurries. My husband got a banana Oreo flavored one, while I got Heath. It was very good. I don't know if it is better than some other ice cream places but it was tasty and hit the spot.

    Great burgers hot dogs and fries! My wife and I loved it! I also love the vibes of having the tube place right next to it, definitely going to return and tube the river! Great service and beautiful views!

    My family and I stumbled across this nostalgic burger shop after we floated down the river. It was the perfect stop after we had been in the heat all day, I got a burger with fries and a Reeces shake. It was so refreshing! The fries were super crispy, which was a great surprise. The burger is your average burger, but the patty was very juicy- not dry! I can see the wait time being a bit longer on the weekends, since you stand in line to order. But the food came out super fast! They also asked if I wanted my ice cream first or if I wanted it with my meal. There are seats around the side of the building that are shaded, but everything is outdoors. Plenty of parking spots as well. I can't wait to go back on our next vacation!

    A nice treat when in Townsend. We always stop and get an ice cream. Service is fast and friendly. There is always plenty of seating and the area is kept clean.

    The burgers and fries can't be beat here. It's great after a day of tubing. Lots of outside seating.

    This is a great place to hit for lunch or an early dinner if you're making the trip to Cades Cove for a bear-jam.

The parking here was neat grass, gravel, and paved section. Huge area for car clubs. There is a decent variety of foods on the menu. I had the Chicken Sandwich with coleslaw . The sauce on the sandwich was super tasty. I also tried my better half's chicken salad sandwich with sweet potato fried. It was super super good as well. Service was great here and friendly. Bathrooms were clean as well. I highly recommend this home cooking spot if you're in the area. I can't wait to come back here!

Tennessee Haystack was good, although it came out incorrect the first time.... chicken and waffles mediocre at best. Small chicken tenders similar to something that you'd get at a convenience store. Isn't this considered to be part of the South? Trying to get our check became a struggle. Waitress disappeared. Young man at the cash register was able to figure it out finally and we were able to pay. Biggest issue, noise. If you are even slightly bothered by loud noise, DO NOT sit inside. What amplifies the issue, is multiple families would line up to pay. Not only increasing the noise by us, it caused for congestion in the area by the kitchen for the servers.

    We have been visiting Townsend for years and years, and we never went into the Subway. We noticed…read moreit was always there, even when several other restaurants had come and gone, Subway seems to have always been able to stay. So this is a typical Subway and has what you would expect at a Subway, bit this one has a special bonus. It also offers ice cream! They offer about 15 different flavors in a bowl or on a cone. There is outdoor and indoor seating. We stopped in for a treat and will return again for lunch! By the way it is all very affordable! The building itself seems to be showing some age, but it doesn't take away from the quality of the food or the great attitude of the team that runs the show here.

    Clean and really great. Everything was fresh. The gal that helped me fix up my sandwich was really…read morenice. I asked her what breads were available in foot long and I ended up with a honey oat. She put exactly what I needed on the sandwich. And apparently it has been awhile since I have been in Subway, but they have this new thing that you put the knives into and it cleans them right away, so that when your sandwich is sliced, there is nothing on there from the previous sandwich that was cut. That's huge for me because of all my allergies. So it's a win win for me. So I will definitely be back to this Subway time and time again. It's so rare to find great customer service and someone who is so conscious about food allergies and didn't roll her eyes when I asked her for a clean knife.
