Diane and I are celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary and decided to take a trip to Tennessee…read more We began with a five-day stay in Nashville, taking in all the sights, before heading to the Knoxville area and renting a house on Douglas Lake near the small town of Newport. After spending a couple of days exploring Gatlinburg and Dollywood, we decided it was time to check out some local restaurants. A search for "good bar food" in Newport brought up several options, and The Neighborhood BeerHouse immediately caught our attention. Their website looked great, the location was easy to find on Main Street, and parking was a breeze. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with a warm welcome from Tanya, the bartender. The place has an inviting atmosphere, and we chose to sit at the bar--our favorite spot when visiting somewhere new because it gives us a chance to get to know both the establishment and the locals. A couple of patrons even offered to move down and make room for us, which immediately made us feel right at home. The restaurant also has a separate dining area adjacent to the bar with low-top tables for those looking for a quieter setting. They offer 20 beers on tap along with a nice variety of bottled and canned selections. I kept it simple with a Michelob Ultra draft. The menu is extensive, featuring everything from skillets, brisket, fajitas, steaks, burgers, sandwiches, salads, and soups to a great selection of appetizers and sides. We noticed a nearby table enjoying what looked like giant fried logs. We soon discovered they were the restaurant's homemade mozzarella sticks--and MASSIVE doesn't begin to describe them. With so many tempting choices, making a decision wasn't easy. In the end, I decided to throw my dietary restrictions out the window and ordered the deep-fried hot dogs topped with chili, onions, and a touch of yellow mustard. They normally come with fries or tater tots, but I substituted homemade coleslaw, which was fresh and delicious. Then I really abandoned all self-control and ordered a side of bacon mac and cheese. It arrived in a cast-iron skillet, perfectly cooked with a crispy golden layer on top. It was absolutely amazing. The hot dogs were outstanding, the chili was flavorful and well-made, and honestly, it may have been the best meal I had during our entire Tennessee trip. Diane chose the Cobb Salad, loaded with mixed greens, onions, tomatoes, egg, turkey, ham, bacon, and generous slices of cheese, served with balsamic dressing. The portion was huge, and even she couldn't finish it. The Neighborhood BeerHouse is a wonderful place, and I highly recommend giving it a try if you're in the Newport area. The food alone is worth the visit, and they also host karaoke on Fridays for anyone looking for a fun night out. A special shout-out goes to Tanya, who was incredibly friendly, helpful with menu recommendations, and made our visit even more enjoyable. Great food, great atmosphere, great people. If you stop by, be sure to say hi to Tanya!

Solid down home diner which knows how to make a great biscuit. I had a bacon omelet, biscuit, and…read morehash browns on my visit before tackling Max Patch and the AT. The omelet was chock full of bacon. The cheese was a little sparse. Overall, it was a good omelet. The biscuit was a true cathead and I ate it in two halves. That way I consumed extra butter and jelly. The biscuit was filling and fluffy at the same time. It was the star of the breakfast. Hash browns were so so. The browns were not prepared where they stick together. I am a fan of the way Waffle House does hash browns. I tried a piece of their strawberry cake after my hike. The cake was clumpy like it had been frozen and defrosted. Coffee and service was excellent. This is definitely a go to for breakfast. Just get grits or home fries instead of hash browns.

Road tripping in the area and found this place on Yelp. Appears to be a local favorite, as it is…read morenestled off the road and out of view, but they had a wait list (it was a Saturday night)! You can put your name on the waitlist before you arrive. Small restaurant with rustic style/decor. The menu is one double-sided sheet but offers a lot of variety; steak, burgers, seafood, chicken, veg options. Wish I was going to be around to go back and try more. My wife and I both had the mahi-mahi. She had the grilled and I had the blackened (the blackened seasoning was a little heavy on the salt in my opinion, but still good). Good selection of sides! Servings were appropriate for the very reasonable prices. Our server was friendly and attentive.

A friend and I ate at Lisa's Country Kitchen in Jefferson City, TN this past Thursday evening…read more(January 29) around 4:00. After being seated I ordered the Turkey and Dressing Special because I thought it would be a very good "Special" and I thought I would get it fast! It took 25 or so minutes for the meal to arrive and when I got it there was only one 4"x4 x1/16" +/- thick slice of processed Turkey placed on top of the Dressing. Yes, only one bite size of very thin processed Turkey. It is difficult for me to understand how a Turkey Dinner could only have one very small slice of Turkey! The Baked Potato I ordered was small but hot which was a plus. I received a slice of a Loaf of Bread that was advertised as French Toast, and was not warm. I managed to eat the Luke warm barely edible Dressing along with the decent tasting Baked Potato. I kept wishing that I had ordered something else that hopefully would have tasted better but it was now to late for that. The waitress was respectful but robotic like, not too polite at all. The Restaurant had lots of supposed antiques both nailed to the wall and placed in shelving areas, a supposed Cracker Barrel sort of copy. It is my guess that none of the items has been dusted since being nailed to the walls or placed in the shelves. I have to rate this meal experience as the third worst meal that I have ever eaten at a Restaurant! There was asolutely nothing I experienced while at the Restaurant, that was positive! One thing that was strangely surprising was that there were lots of automobiles parked out front and the Restaurant was about 3/4 full! I guess I should have asked the Waitress before ordering my meal: "What do you recommend that I get to eat"? But, since I didn't ask that question and since my meal was terrible I will not be eating at Lisa's Çountry Kitchen again and I sincerely cannot recommend eating there to anyone else!

10/10 - A Hidden Gem in Newport!…read more If you're anywhere near Newport, TN, do yourself a favor and stop by Portofino! Our crazy group of 10 ordered just about everything: calzones, manicotti, baked ziti, chicken Parmesan, fettuccine, pesto chicken pasta, an Italian sub, chicken marsala, and spaghetti & meatballs--and every single dish was outstanding. There wasn't a bad bite on the table! The food was absolutely delicious, the service was exceptional, and the hospitality made us feel like family from the moment we walked in. Everything was cooked perfectly, served hot, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure our large group had a fantastic experience. It's not often that 10 people all leave completely happy, but Portofino nailed it. We can't recommend this place enough. If you're in the Newport area and craving amazing Italian food, this is the place to go. Matisee did an amazing job taking care of us!!! Thank you!! We'll definitely be back!
