We totally enjoyed our meal and drinks here. I had the power bowl with shrimp, my spouse had the smoked trout and avocado sandwich. Both were delicious. The Tennessee based ales were also really good (Portly Stout and Vaudevillian). Yummy. I highly recommend all. read more

A refreshing new restaurant to the Townsen area. I think you will enjoy food & vibe of this place. We ate there 2 different days during our stay. The food was excellent, service was fast & friendly. Cool new table tracking system - you order & place the puck on your table & they find you quickly. We enjoyed a hoagie, 2 different sourdough Round Breads pizzas (baked in a very nice HOT pizza oven) & a charcuterie board. We enjoyed a wide selection of their Local TN craft beers. In reading several of the negative reviews it is my opinion that some of the tired old style restaurants are feeling threatened by this new restaurant, they should. read more

Grabbed some pizzas and apps to take back to our cabin. I got the Buffalo chicken pizza and it was incredible! Cooked perfectly and a perfect combination of toppings. The beer cheese and pretzel app and also the goat cheese corn fritters are as equally incredible. Great stop if you're passing (or staying) through! read more

Great pizza. However, they now add a $3 charge for carry out pizza? So I sat at the bar and ate inside.

Had a great meal and drinks at PSS and finished it off with some ice cream! I would definitely go back!

We called in for a carry out and Jeff couldn't be nicer, or more helpful. We ordered hummus, the pretzel and the Italian hoagie. Everything was delicious, and Jeff was great and on point when I arrived to pick it up. This will be our go to when in Townsend! read more

My friend and I found this place on the way back from a super long hike. We were ravenous and in search of a wholesome nutritious meal and a place to rest before the long drive home. I'm gluten free so it's hard to find good food in little mountain towns. This place had MULTIPLE gluten free options that sounded delicious. I got the roasted chicken and potatoes with white BBQ sauce. Absolutely delicious. My friend got the shrimp and sausage dish and said it was one of the tastiest meals she'd ever had. We also got to chat with the owner! He checked in on us after our meal and was insanely friendly. Next time I'm in Townsend, I'll definitely be back! read more

Went to Peaceful Side Social after a day of rafting the Little River in Tennessee. Food was excellent and the staff was friendly and attentive. We would highly recommend and will definitely go back if ever in the area. read more

Excellent experience here for lunch today. All our pizzas were good and unique. The friendly service from the pleasant gentleman who delivered our food and the general manager stopping by to check on things and chat really make this place shine. We had an excellent IPA and cider that were both great. Sat outside on the pleasant covered patio and watched the rain come over the mountain. Very relaxing and friendly spot. We will definitely go again on our next visit to the area. read more

Good food and good beer in the foothills of the beautiful Smoky Mountains. The atmosphere is excellent and the service is good. Worth the trip. read more

It was a great restaurant in a small town in the Smokey mountains. The food was tasty and I especially recommend the pulled chicken and bacon hoagie, sausage and vegetable round bread, and smoked trout and avocado sandwich. read more

Amazing food. We had the truffle fries. This is always something I order then I see them on a menu. These were, hands down, the best I've ever had. My salmon and quinoa meal was delicious. The salmon was perfectly cooked and the topping was a perfect compliment to the salmon. I will be returning. My fiancé had the pizza and he really enjoyed it as well. read more

This is our go to place when we are in town(send). The atmosphere, especially outside, is wonderful! The view of the mountains, the chill vibe, and the staff are wonderful. The beer and cider are really tasty, too. The food, however, is hit or miss. Love the goat cheese grit fritters, the pretzel and beer cheese, and the truffle fries-- those are some of our favorite appetizers. Most of the pizzas are tasty, too. We were really looking forward to the taco bar, but since we have lived in some southwest states for a while, we are pretty hard to please. The shells are crumbly. They need to be warmed slightly on a lightly oiled skillet before serving, and the tacos need an underlying sauce inside, even with the salsa. The margaritas were way too pricey and not very good. Stick to beer and ciders if you go. I would love to give them five stars, but can't just yet. Hope to soon! read more

I think the best part about this place was the outside play area for kids. Our kids 4 and 8 played the whole time while we enjoyed a beer outside. The food and drinks were some on our favorite during our time around Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge. Very fast and priced right. read more

Excellent food and excellent service, highly recommend!! Great view out the window, too.

Relaxed ambiance, great beer selection, and food with fresh ingredients. I loved the power bowl and summer splash IPA read more

Peaceful Side Social - Great beer and great food - something for everyone. I loved my power bowl full of greens and grains while my husband and son had pizza. - Breweries Near Me - Townsend, Tennessee

Best pizza in town! Made with sourdough and great toppings. I come from Knoxville just for the pizza.

Cool place to hang out with friends, drink some beers, and play cornhole on a Friday night. Their outside area is fabulous. Inside is just okay. Good food and good drinks. Their hours are not clearly listed, though - they are different on their website, google, and yelp. They also did not make it clear that their kitchen closes a full hour before they close, which could make for some grumpy customers. But all in all, a good time. read more

Great pizza. Other people's sandwiches looked very good. Ordered a beer and a margarita from the separate taco truck. Traveling with our dog and the place is super dog friendly. read more

Food was great, service was good . We were visiting the area and met friends for lunch, sat around talking for a few hours. Great place

The billboard down the road from the establishment caught my eye, so we stopped in after touring the Tuckaleechee Caverns. We ordered the pulled chicken and trout sandwiches, the sausage and shrimp shareable, and an order of truffle fries. Everything was fresh, flavorful and delicious! Also, all the staff was super attentive. Finally, the vibe is just right - eclectic, casual, not pretentious and super kind. We definitely plan to come back! read more

Not your normal restaurant/brewery place. Walked in and our first impression was pure confusion. Having not a clue what/how to order we walked up to the ordering area/register and explained (twice) that it was the first time we'd been there and didn't have a clue. The girl was not one bit of help and didn't explain anything. We placed a standing order thru her, got what she called a "tracker" and Not knowing/and doubting if we'd get service at a table we decided to sit at the bar. We had also ordered water but didn't get that!! Ordered beers and waited for our food. It was 2 pulled chicken sandwiches. My husband hurt a tooth on not one but 3 bones in his sandwich! Food...just average. Will we be back....nope. read more

Great food and atmosphere, nice beer list too, best of all an outdoor patio that you can bring your dog with and they even have water bowls for your furry friend! read more

Service was impeccable and the food is delicious! And the outdoor area..how cute!! Play place for the littles to play, corn hole boards, and space galore for all your friends. And they give you doggie bowls for your pups water! Could not recommend this place enough. Be sure to try the smoked trout dip, goat cheese fritters, and three meat flat bread! read more

Delicious food, excellent beverages and friendly staff. We were there on a summer evening with a busy festival happening across the road. They were swamped, but we still got food quickly. I was especially pleased by the bathroom labels. Welcoming to humans, sasquatches etc. thanks for being friendly during these challenging times! Kid had fun playing, adults enjoyed the Biergarten ambiance. Delicious ice cream right next door. read more

Wonderful restaurant. The pizza and drinks were delicious! Beautiful inside, and the servers/hosts are all very kind. We hope to visit again. read more

Came in on our way to Smoky Mountain National Park. Super friendly servers. Great patio. The smoked trout sandwich was superb and the chicken sandwich also rocked. Good beer selection. Great spot! Good vibes. read more

Great food, great craft beer!! We had the truffle fries, smoked trout dip and goat cheese fritters. I would highly recommend all of it!

This place must be new. We got 2 appetizers and a pizza. My husband was excited about the brewery part. We were a little disappointed that they didn't have sampler trays. He ordered the printshop beer and did not like it at all. I ordered the music city light and it was really good. The pizza was brick oven and it was amazing. We also got the pretzel with beer cheese and it was good and the goat cheese bites. They were really good but not what we were expecting. We thought they'd be like cheese curds but they were more like hush puppies. Still very good. The sauces that came with the pretzel and goat bites were very good. read more

We decided to go hear because of the good reviews on Yelp. I got a trout sandwich and my husband got the margarita pizza. Of course we ordered the truffle fries. Everything was delicious. Plenty of seating outside too. Would definitely recommend. read more

Great atmosphere. Love their food! Only downside is that their taco bar runs out of tacos too fast read more

Wide variety menu. The smoked tuna and avocado sandwich was wonderful! Would definitely go again read more

Great beer selection and Three meat pizza was super good. Unique place to stop and enjoy the Smoky Mountains.

Excellent food, beer and great service. The service was friendly and very good. Atmosphere was great, with a large outdoor area for families. Dog friendly. The menu had a number of dishes with local ingredients. The pizza was very good with a thin crust and lots of toppings. Portion size of the truffle fries was huge. Everything we had was great. They haven't completed building their brewery yet, but they had 10 local beers, two German imports, and a local cider. It was so good that we are there two days in a row. Recommended. read more

Just happened to see the roadside sign for this establishment in Townsend. We were pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere and menu. We ordered the hummus platter which was just right for 4 and too much for just us two as an appetizer. The margherita flatbread was delish. Would come back again for sure! read more

This place is so popular, they almost ran out of food the day we drop by, the manager updated their available food and everything was good, we ate pizza and my margherita was really good as well as my beer choice. It is very family oriented and the environment is light and lay back . read more

Fantastic! What a great find. We just happened to be driving by and swung in for lunch. Great atmosphere, spacious, outdoor playground for the kids, patio, plenty of indoor seating, lots of local brews on tap. The food is American fresh gourmet farm to table and is wonderful. Plenty of options. There are lots of restaurants but the best excel at cleanliness, details and a personal touch. PSS hits all the marks! Great job y'all, we will look forward to visiting again.

I'm pleasantly surprised that a place like peaceful side social even exists in a tiny little place like Townsend. The place is great.

We got take out to bring back to the cabin and it was a hit. The pizzas were a good size, and the kids were excited for the leftovers. We tried pepperoni, three meat, and buffalo chicken and loved them. The pepperoni was simple but stood out to us. My first time with smoked trout which I had on the salad. I was looking for a little more meat on the salad but it was good. read more
