Would you believe me if I told you there was a an Italian deli in the Great Smoky Mountains?…read more Well, there is. For being 900 miles away from Arthur Avenue, Amico Delicatessen does an excellent job of bringing their take on classic Italian sandwiches to the mountains. The Amico Special as well as the Roast Beef are great. I pack 'em with me and take them into the park. But if al fresco dining in the park isn't your thing, the attached distillery next door means you can have a blast without having to leave the parking lot.

They are dog friendly, but you have to walk through the restaurant to go outside. Our server, Jessie brought a nice cold bowl of water for our pups. The food was just "ok". My husband's fries were undercooked and my Reuben was lukewarm and the bread was soggy. If it had been delivered fresh off the grill I'm sure it would have been much better. I did have the strawberry shortcake cider which was delicious. If I was just reviewing this on our server, I would have given 5 stars. Jessie was super friendly!

One of the sandwiches I think is most difficult to find done extremely well is a Reuben. They did…read morejust that it was a delicious thick sandwich. There was tons of yummy corn, beef, brisket, and they were nice enough to put my thousand island on the side because the sandwich is huge. I couldn't finish it there. The potato salad I ordered on the side was delicious, it had some bacon in it, and it was more savory forward in it, Amish style potato salad that has some sweet relish. Which I enjoyed a lot! Now the sandwich wasn't cheap, but it was well worth it, and we luckily got some seating and some rest from the rain while enjoying our really good food! My boyfriend got the Cuban, he was a bit worried because he hadn't had the sandwich before, but I knew he would like it so I ordered it for him and someone ate their entire sandwich (not me) so let that speak for itself! They make sure to pile those sandwiches high with meat, and they move so quickly our food came out, not even 10 minutes after we put our orders in and we were starving so it was much appreciated after walking the strip in Gatlinburg. It is tucked away a bit from the main road, but if you walk back, you'll see it, there's a bit of indoor seating, ample outdoor seating, but you just have to help the weather agrees with you. It's really active because the amount of people hoping to try the sandwiches, and it seems like they do happen to run out of the meat for the platters and what meat is left, they prioritize using it on the sandwiches.

Tennessee Haystack was good, although it came out incorrect the first time.... chicken and waffles mediocre at best. Small chicken tenders similar to something that you'd get at a convenience store. Isn't this considered to be part of the South? Trying to get our check became a struggle. Waitress disappeared. Young man at the cash register was able to figure it out finally and we were able to pay. Biggest issue, noise. If you are even slightly bothered by loud noise, DO NOT sit inside. What amplifies the issue, is multiple families would line up to pay. Not only increasing the noise by us, it caused for congestion in the area by the kitchen for the servers.
