The restaurant is tucked into a nice wooded area near the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. There is outdoor seating available, a firepit area with make your own smores, and indoor seating which is where we dined. We were greeted as soon as we entered and waited at the bar where Ian served us (he was great) until our reservation time (doubt we could have got in without the reservation). The bar had a huge selection of bourbon including many allocated bottles. My wife had a spicy margarita which she loved. We were promptly seated at our reservation time. Our server, David, brought us some of their famous cornbread it reminded me of couple of pieces of cake except it was cornbread with a delicious sorghum syrup and whipped butter. It was unique and delicious. We started with trio of dips - sharp cheddar pimento cheese, butter bean hummus, and my favorite smoked salmon rillette. These were served with sea salt crackers and pickled vegetables. It was all tasty and the smoke salmon had so much flavor. I had delicious thick cut pork chop topped with peach and jalapeno jam. It was cooked perfectly, tender and juicy and the topping added a fantastic spicy tang. The sides were charred baby carrots, green beans, a spoonbread with red-eye gravy and red pepper emulsion. My wife had a filet with bearnaise sauce and Yukon potatoes with cauliflower, sweet peppers, mushrooms and braised onions. It was cooked exactly as ordered with such a great taste and so tender. David brought my with a complementary piece of pie made with Cruze Farm buttermilk topped with berries and a lemon drizzle. It was a fantastic experience and we were so happy with everything. Everything was pricey for the area, but well worth it for what we received.

From out of town and I got a lot of recommendations to try the bistro at Dancing Bear. The bistro…read morewas a bit further drive up the long driveway where the map takes you, and that's where all the bnbs are as well. You're tucked away in the forest with the most peaceful ambiance in the evening! The waiter introduced the menu to us and mentioned that the ingredients were all mostly locally sourced and or grown in their garden when you first turn onto the driveway. So great to know exactly where your food is coming from! For the starter, I shared the crab corn chowder - and the waiter was kind enough to split the soup into two bowls with my partner. This was a perfect starter! Creamy, a little smokey, and not too heavy like your typical chowder. Lacking in the crab department, but it's as you would suspect with anything advertising 'containing crab' at a restaurant. We were also given complimentary corn bread and it was delicious. Such a nice surprise and I definitely preferred having the cornbread over regular bread! The service was a little slow, especially to bring the appetizer and bread out, but I wasn't too bothered since it didn't seem like we were rushed to finish our meal. I ordered the filet mignon (med rare) as my main. The flavors were spot on! My filet was a bit tougher than other filets I've had in the past... it was difficult to cut into. I also wished there was more of the red wine sauce to balance the richness of all the accompanying flavors and textures. All in all, this spot was a special treat tucked away in Townsend and I'm glad I didn't have to drive too far for a well-crafted menu and food scene!

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!

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.

Disappointing Experience -- Not Dining Room Ready…read more We stopped at the Pizza Hut in Townsend, TN during a terrible storm. Our first choice was next door, but the outdoor seating was closed due to the wind and rain, so we walked over to Pizza Hut instead. While the sign said the dining room was open, it was clear they're really only set up for carry out. The dining area was completely silent -- no music, no atmosphere, just the occasional noise from the kitchen. It felt awkward and unwelcoming. We ordered a thin crust buffalo chicken pizza, hoping for something warm and flavorful. Unfortunately, it was dry as a bone -- no visible buffalo sauce, no kick, no moisture at all. It was honestly the driest pizza we've ever had. We managed two slices, gave up, and left hungry and disappointed. If the dining room is going to be advertised as open, it should feel like it's actually being used and cared for. And the food should at least meet a basic standard of quality. Unfortunately, this visit missed the mark on both.

This place is just my favorite for coffee--if you haven't been, you're truly missing out.
