    A local place with great service and fantastic food. Lots of old signage and ads. Best onion rings…read moreif you love beer batter.

I ordered the Fried Green Tomatoes appetizer only to have it delivered with batter so thick you could not find the tomato, and the batter had a fishy taste like the grease had also been used for frying fish. They were just not edible. When the waitress came to ask us how we enjoyed them, I told her there was too much batter and the grease tasted fishy. She didn't say a word, turned and walked away. You could tell her "How was it?" Inquiry was automatic and not a genuine concern for how the customers were enjoying the meal. It didn't get better. My grilled pork chops were tough, overcooked, and lacking any flavor. I could only eat one of the two provided. The pinto beans lacked any seasoning, but the coke slaw was good. My wife's pork chop was fried, and was better. It was cooked as it should have been. But her Mac and cheese was gummy and had an odd flavor. The cornbread was dry and not good. A friend who ate with us had Country Fried Steak. He said the steak was passable, but the gravy was disappointing. No onions at all in the gravy. This was not a good eating experience, and with the waitress's attitude, it was an almost a total flop. The sign at the entrance tells it all.

    Of the 5 night we were in town, we visited The Appalachian 3 times - not just for the quality of…read morethe food, but also for the quality of the people. From ensuring they source fresh, seasonal ingredients to creating a welcoming atmosphere, it's obvious that everything is done with passion and attention to detail. The night we came in for dinner, we had the joy of having Mariah as our server. We had the fried chicken skins, the à la carte ribeye and sirloin, mashed potatoes, broccolini, and summer squash, and then the cobbler for dessert. The drinks were strong pours, everything was seasoned perfectly, and the service was impeccable. Another night, we came in for drinks and dessert and had the goat cheese cheesecake and Pots de Crème. If you're looking for a restaurant that's the perfect combination of great food and great vibes, this is absolutely it.

First off, the restaurant is truly stunning! Service was excellent too. We started with the Fried Chicken Skins. My friend had heard good things for a friend, but we weren't particularly impressed. I had the Hanger Steak as my entree, and it was delicious. I especially loved the potato dumplings! My friend had the Kansas City Strip, cooked medium rare, with broccolini. Initially, the steak was overcooked, but the staff quickly cooked another steak and made it right. Overall a really good experience! Downtown Sevierville has really evolved, and we enjoyed walking around and exploring after dinner.

    On vacation in the area and we were looking for some pool tables and lunch. Enter this little dive…read morebar that fit the bill perfectly on a Thursday afternoon. I've got to admit I was put off a bit by the indoor smoking, something I'm not used to at home and wasn't expecting. There were a handful of people chain smoking and playing video games, so there was quite the cloud of smoke. The bartender on staff was very friendly and easy to talk to. He made good drink suggestions and was efficient and fast with service. We stared with fried deviled eggs as an appetizer before playing a few games of pool. They were very good! The right mix of crispy, savory, and salty. Later for lunch, we had The Gym Burger (pretty good but could use some seasoning in the beef), the chicken sliders (tasty!), and the Stacy's Wrap which was an interesting item and good, though I think i would add a vegetable like onions next time for some texture. The pool tables were $1 of quarters per play which seemed reasonable and they have a change machine if you needed it. It looks like they have live music given the stage setup, though of course we didn't see that. Overall a very neat dive bar with good food and a fun place to spend a few hours.
