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.

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".

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!

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.
