We had to seat ourselves, but then we had no menus. Finally found a server and got menus. He told us that we could order from anyone on the floor - but the servers were literally indistinguishable from the clientele, so that one person who we talked to was the only team member we could recognize. We finally resorted to placing additional orders at the bar and we paid there bill at the bar, too. All in all I won't be making a special trip for this. It seems like it's probably a cool place to hang out at night for drinks.

They have a great selection of craft beers, imports and both red and white wines, including champagne and prosecco for the celebration in your glass. The real draw to this place is the private patio that has the peaceful river running the length of the restaurant. They have some higher end entrees of filets, and also pizza salads, burgers, and wings and even food for the kiddos. If you make it through Cades Cove or finish up a nearby hike or river rafting in Townsend this is a nice relaxing finish to the day. Great space for catching up with friends for patio pints and looks to be pet friendly as well. So bring your dog and your fun out to enjoy the Abbey.

This is a friendly sort of watering hole. A bit boisterous at times as the twice-weekly free poker match was underway but it's clearly a bunch of locals as there was a birthday cake and a card circulated (Which I signed - happy birthday, Tyler!). The beers were cold and it was a great time. [Review 1176 of 2024 - 492 in Tennessee - 22199 overall]

While in the area was looking for a local place having karaoke and we found this place on Yelp…read morewhich was surprisingly 10 minutes from our hotel in an unassuming strip mall. It has a small outdoor covered area in the front with tables. Was a very cute venue inside with tons of different craft beers on tap and in cans/bottles in a huge open refrigerated case and they also served food. We sat at a table and a server came over and pointed to a card on the table with a SKU code to scan for the menu and said orders were placed at the bar. I had wished that the servers took our order at the table as I really didn't want to scream my order over all the bar patrons. Anyway, I went up to the bar and the bartender/server acknowledged me and took my order and she brought it to our table fairly quickly. They said it was free refills on soda which was great. The karaoke set up was great and the DJ was engaging. We enjoyed all of the singers. It wasn't super crowded so there was room to move and you didn't have to push past people or squeeze through a crowd to get to the bar or the restroom which I appreciated. Also the tables were spaced out well. All in all we had a great time and will be back when in the area.

An authentic British pub that definitely feels like a go-to spot for a lot of the locals. You'll…read moreavoid a lot of the tourist traffic here with its unique vibe, and you'll come away with a memory of "that cute British pub" when it's all over. NOTES: -This place is run on bare bones staff. I'd guess maybe two cooks and the single server. It is not a place to come if you need quick service or quick food. They're very friendly (even if you're not a local!), but definitely come when you have a lot of extra time. -This place is not accessible in the slightest. You'll need to go up two flights of very steep stairs to make it to the front door. The stairs are on the old side, and I was concerned about one breaking. There is no elevator. -The parking lot is relatively small and shared with a nearby Urgent Care. It's gravel and grass, and people mostly made their "own" spot where they wanted. As this made for a haphazard parking lot with small margins for cars, I wouldn't let a newer driver park here. PROS: -Lots of unique British dishes. We've never seen somewhere serving Bubbles and Squeak and lots of other dishes. If you're not familiar with niche British dishes, you'll probably have to pull out your cell phone to figure out what some of this stuff is - and that's really fun. -Food is really good. It tastes like food-your-mom-would-make instead of gourmet takes on these dishes. It has a really authentic, small business vibe to it. -Unique beers on tap too. You aren't going to find Bud Light or Miller Lite on tap here. All of their beers are unique pub fare. They do offer some of the American favorites in a can/bottle, but this is a great excuse to try beers you wouldn't normally have access too. -Despite the older age of the building, the bathrooms are very modern and very clean. Most gas station bathrooms are in worse shape than the ones here. CONS: -It's definitely a small, "small margins" business, and all of the cons that go along with that. Food took awhile, upcharge for using a credit card, non-focal dishes may have been frozen/reheated/canned, and parking was difficult. That all being said, we're looking to come back again, and the atmosphere (and the taste of their unique star dishes) make it one of those places you'll actually talk about when you're done with your trip instead of forgetting that morning you simply went to Denny's to scarf down pancakes.

If you are in Gatlinburg, you need to stop here. The small menu is intimidating, but trust us, it…read morewas worth it! We got every item on the menu, and there wasn't a single complaint. The cheeseburger was amazing and a perfect comfort burger. The Ruben was rich and flavorful, while still being juicy and amazing sauerkraut. Wings were saucy and fried perfectly with no excessive batter on them, just a crunchy skin. Lastly, the prime rib was juicy and the horse radish sauce and au jus was brothy and rich. Fries were perfectly fried as well and beer was icy cold. To top it all off, Lou was the BEST server we have ever had. Our group of 7 was never low on drinks, and the food was ran as soon as the bell was rung. We will be visiting again strictly for the Lou experience. If you're looking for a quick place to eat with great service and amazing food, my group and I will always recommend Bec's. Cheers to Gatlinburg, TN!!!!!!!!

I would never come here if I was in a hurry, but if you have 2+ hours to eat and want good food in a storied place with staff who will treat you like friends, you're going to love the Rampant Lion. NOTES: -In rural TN, it should not surprise you, but be aware that they have Trump displays in the restaurant. -The restrooms are single stall and accessed from outdoor. They're indoor restrooms - just the door to access them is on the outside. (No porta potties) They're solidly clean - just make sure to pack clothing that works for the temperature outside because you might be dipping outside a few times. -Parking lot is small and gravel. Relatively easy to get in and out of though. -Amazing gin selection with staff that *clearly* knows their gins. -Adorable photos of the owners on slideshow of their trip to Europe on the wall. It's adorably and clearly a couple who was on a good vacation. We've had a good chunk of their menu at this point. Pretzels: Delicious beer chese AND delicious pretzels. Quite a bit of food with this too. Bread, Oil, & Vinegar: Wasn't super fond of this one. A ton of oil in a bowl made it hard to get the right oil-to-vinegar ratio. Chicken Pie: Deliciously breaded with super-tasty french fries too. Served piping hot, so it took a bit to be able to eat it without burning myself but a wait well-made. Reuben: Partner absolutely loved it and said the bread was the absolute perfect consistency. SO much meat in there too (though he said it could use a bit of extra dressing). Bubbles and Squeak: Delicious. Just delicious. Zero notes, you should eat it. Beanie Weenies: Home-made right in the restaurant! My favorite thing on the menu. Super savory, semi-healthy (beans...at least?), and served super warm. Comfort food at its finest. Menu in-restaurant was different than online one on a few things.

Food truck was friendly and we ordered up 2 of the specials, were given some wooden tokens to turn into the bartender for beers. Unfortunately, they could only be redeemed for a couple of canned mainstream beers and one local draft. Wish they would allow you to pay a buck or two more and allow a draft beer of choice, but it was fine. Sat at the bar and bartender never said 2 words to us, was busy chatting with some friends or locals at the other end of the bar. Burger and fries came quickly. Burger was just ok and fries were cold, so definitely no where near the best burger in town. It was a bit dry and had some basic iceberg lettuce and onion, nothing special. Finished our burgers and beers and headed somewhere else. Seems to be primarily a hangout for the locals?
