What a gem! We loved our visit to The Apple Barn and Cider Mill. The wine tasting was a highlight--each variety was delicious and unique, especially the fruit-infused options. We couldn't leave without grabbing a few fried apple pies (they're as heavenly as they sound). The shopping was equally enjoyable--tons of local finds, apple-themed goodies, and cute decor. A perfect way to spend a relaxing afternoon in the Smokies. Highly recommend making this a stop on your trip! read more

Charming little touristy place with basically every apple-themed item you could want. Not especially little kid friendly due to how fragile everything is, but that's not their problem! There's a little shop where they sell dessert wines and brandy. The attendant there was especially odd. Not really interested in making anyone feel welcome or providing a comfortable customer experience. I understand they've probably got all sorts of folks coming in trying to get as much free alcohol via samples as they can. But I've never felt so unwanted while engaging with the normal function of a wine seller. Literally everyone else was great except this one person. Anyway, we're one-and-done with this place. I hope you and yours have a better time! read more

Wow- how disappointing was this apple house- almost no selection of apples in September. The breads were super dry and had no taste- we bought 3 different kinds. No one sampling the apples and you cannot buy the fritters anywhere but the restaurant. Employees were not friendly or helpful- and we went on a Tuesday mid morning so they were not busy. This outfit needs to visit the North Ga mountains to see how Apple houses should be run. Very disappointing and spent almost $70. Definitely a touristy place with high prices and lackluster food. read more

This is a must visit!! Especially if you love apples, cider and wine! They have something for the adults and ice cream and candy for the kids. Let's start with the winery. This is located in a separate building on the same property. All within walking distance. They have free samples -- you can choose 4 flavors of wine to try at no charge. No obligation to buy. Just find an available place at the bar and get started. If you find one you love then you can purchase right there. They also have full glasses and wine slushes you can purchase also. The ice cream shop and bakery. Located in a separate suite to the main strip of shops. They have samples of the apple bread available to taste. They have milkshakes, ice cream, and other sweet treats. Seating is available to enjoy your treat both inside and outside. The candy and chocolate factory. Located in a separate suite to the main strip of shops. We didn't go inside this one but they had quite the variety of candy from looking inside as we passed by. The cider bar. Here you can sample 3 ciders ciders for free or pay $8 and sample all ciders they had which was about 10. Plus you get to keep your shot glass! We tried all the ones on the pictured menu. Our favorite was the Red lemonhead which is strawberry lemonade. It's so good!!! It is part of the wine club if you are interested in signing up. Also got to sample the slushes of watermelon and pina colada. Yum yum yum. I loved this the best of my time here. Be sure to end your adventure at the bake house and general store! Bake house is located right next door to the general store and you can find apple pies, ciders and other goodies. The general store has all sort of options from apple butter, peach butter, preserves, kitchen decor and other general merchandise and souvenirs for sale. You won't regret visiting. read more

Good food. Not the greatest but it's good. Unique place. They have good apple fritters. Definitely worth a visit. Service was great. Food comes quick & very hot. We had the fried catfish & fried chicken & gravy. After you eat, you can walk to the other stores and wine taste, cider test & have apple ice cream if that's your thing. read more

Stopped in for 5 minutes and left 5 hours later.... This is a great place to experience with the entire family. Amazing treats, ice cream store and tons of shopping. We had a great time and the staff was super friendly. read more

The staff here in every area is always so kind and friendly! They have the absolute best ciders you will ever try too, so I definitely recommend spending $8 to try them all! I highly encourage you to purchase a large growler of the Red Lemon Head Cider! They also allow you to bring a growler from ANYWHERE and get a 50% of a growler fill. I am clarifying due to how cool it is that you can bring any growler from any place to fill up for half off! The grounds are super pretty to walk around as well, but this place will be packed with families & especially children, so be prepared for lots of people. I also heavily recommend a wine tasting here and to of course, bring at least 6 bottles home with you for a 20% discount or 12 for 25% discount (discount price point seen was 3/29/23). Check this place out!! read more

This is a favorite stop for both me and my husband every time we are in the area. There is a shop for all kinds of local goodies (best apple cider ever - especially the cherry, trust me!). There is an on-site bakery and creamery (get the apple dumpling with ice cream!). There is hard cider and wine tasting. There is a Christmas store. There is also a restaurant (though I never personally ate there). This is a must stop! read more

Positive: - the access to jams, jelly's, and sauces is great - the local candles are wonderful - the cider bar has tastings and they were really good - cider is bit more than other locations but worthwhile - can get cider growler refills for $15 Negatives: - there were none off season hours are expected. Not so much a negative but it is well posted. read more

Everyone post the apple cider bread and I can see why it's freakin addictive. The meal itself was good. I go an omelette and it was good size and loaded. Everyone else had good meals too so I think this is repeat place for us every year. The wait is crazy so be prepared but it's well worth it read more

Absolutely love it here! The fritters and apple butter are amazing as well as their food!! Delicious! Such a beautiful place!

Delicious every time. The pasties are always fresh and warm, and pair so well with the ice cream. read more

The Apple Barn & Cider Mill - Fried apple pie and ice cream - Specialty Food Near Me - Sevierville, Tennessee

It's a little hidden but if you're in Pigeon Forge it's a must see. What started as an apple orchard has become a place you can spend a couple hours browsing ! Plenty of parking and when you get out of your car you have a decision of which way to go. There are a number of buildings all interconnected, or better said, shops, with so much to see, sample and or purchase. There a small ice cream shop, candy store, Christmas store, winery, two different places to sit down and enjoy of delicious freshly prepared food. read more

The apple fritters are delicious and the staff mostly kind, but overall the food/experience was not worth the incredibly long wait.

I went to a Sunday dinner with a group of co-workers. Their Sunday dinner menu is a bit different from the regular menu. You get your choice of a meal and it comes with a basket of apple fritters and apple butter (which were very good) and a small serving of their apple julep which was just ok to me. All Sundays meals also come with a choice of soup, mashed potatoes as a side and dessert. I regretted getting the vegetable soup but it came out piping hot which I appreciated. It was nothing more than your typical can of vegetables soup. I got the apple spiced cake and fell in love with it! The others at my table all agreed that their desserts were just as tasty (chocolate cake, blueberry cobbler and apple cobbler). There is no way you could possibly leave this place hungry, even if you tried. The stores were all closed by the time we got there so I can't say much about them. But the lay out of the entire place, stores and restaurant, looked really nice. All in all, this place is what you'd get if Cracker Barrel and Loveless Cafe had a baby. read more

Initially we were looking for fresh hot apple cider and we didn't find it here instead we found a more commercialized store as expected a tourist trap. They sold iced or blended apple cider which tasted more like apple juice. The store was more than a store it was more like a mini City with a general store, a wine store, ice cream parlor a candy, restaurant and a Christmas store. I gave it a four star because of the sampling of the wine in the winery. The people behind the bar were not friendly, especially the one that we had. For some reason the bartender was only able to sample two people at a time, not knowing how to proceed he totally ignored us, did not make eye contact and robotically served the two ladies even though it was at the beginning of their sampling. After seeing this mistreatment, we went to another person and it wasn't any better. Boy was he grumpy. Clearly he was annoyed at life and was not friendly At all You would think that as a tourist attraction you would be friendly to out of state folks... I did not find the southern hospitality in this place...the winery read more

Friendly and good unique items all Apple related. Worth a visit when in this area. Lots of separate areas to shop.

Ordered chicken fried steak and it was a prepared frozen meat! Awful! Beans had very little flavor and weren't hot! Cornbread was hard and dry! If I am going to spend 24.00 I expect good fresh and hot food. I will never eat there again! A waste of my time and $. read more

Change your ignorant policy for reservations! How many 25 person parties do you actually have on a daily basis that requires you to only do reservations for 25+ people? I'm a party of 15 and can't make a reservation? What kind shit is that? Then you're telling me to wake early in the morning to get on a wait list? That is IGNORANT! Your food BETTER BE TOP NOTCH! read more

This place was highly recommended so we were really disappointed in the experience. Food was sub par at best. Our server, James, was incredibly rude. We got 2 entrees to share and the shareable sides. He wasn't very nice about it but we didn't understand. When we asked for more Mac n cheese, he said no. He did get it for us after some questions, but he was not nice at all. I asked an employee on the way out and she said he should have told us about the plate sharing fee. Obviously he didn't tell us that, so it was really a waste of money. Unfortunately I can't think of anything we would go back for at this place. read more

My family and I were craving some traditional southern food and decided to stop in to the restaurant at The Apple Barn & Cider Mill in Sevierville, TN. The restaurant has a charming southern aesthetic to it with the staff in special southern attire, as well. The wait wasn't bad at all, even though we came during a busy time; however, the food was not very appetizing. The turkey dinner tasted as if it was from a boxed frozen meal and the sides weren't any better. The only good food I enjoyed were the apple fritters that come complimentary with every meal. Those were cooked to absolute perfection and paired perfectly with the apple butter on the side. There were some cute shops adjoining the restaurant on property that are worth checking out if you stop in as well, but I may skip the restaurant next time. read more

One of the pillars of Pigeon Forge restruants with a campus of baked goods, candy, cider gift store, winery and a sister restaurant all in the same location. The server was pleasant and helpful sharing knowledge of the lunch menu. I enjoyed the chicken sampler with dumplings,pot pie and fried chicken. My wife enjoyed the pot roast dinner. Sometimes there can be a wait, just wait and enjoy. Especially with all of the things to see in do. Put your name in and enjoy the campus and the food. read more

While the food is still good, the quality of food and service has gone downhill fast. We went to lunch after a wedding with a group of 13 people and they had us separated and couldn't combine the check either. The staff seemed overwhelmed that day and their faces showed it. The quality of the food has just gone downhill though. The fritters and juice are still good, but the meals are just ok now. Nothing fancy and not worth going back for again. read more

Went out of our way to have breakfast at Apple Barn. All internet info indicated opening at 9 am. We got there at 8:30 and there were tons of people waiting and may already eating. We waited about 25 minutes before being seated. We waited another 5 minutes before a waitress came to our table. Another couple was seated during that time, received their fritters and juice and their food before we got our fritters. Our waitress was not friendly or attentive. Our eggs were cold by the time we got them. Sorry we made the special trip just to be disappointed. read more

The Apple Barn & Cider Mill - Apple fritters - Specialty Food Near Me - Sevierville, Tennessee

The inside of the restaurant was old, dusty, and everything felt sticky. We were sat next to a bird cage where we could see multiple birds balancing on a small tree. Cage had a lot of bird poop in it and was kind of gross to look at while eating. The food tasted like nursing home cafeteria food. You could tell everything had been pre frozen/ pre cooked and warmed up. Most stuff came out with a film on top like it had been sitting under a warmer. For the price, I would consider this a major fail. I was very disappointed. It is worth it to go to check out the Cider Mill & Winery and explore the shops, but I would highly recommend not eating here. Twice the price of Cracker Barrel and not remotely as good. Even KFC is better. I was able to try a bite of all of my family's food because I really wanted to like this place. - Chicken was dry and bland - tomato soup tasted like tomato juice from a can - Mac and cheese was made with fake cheese and had a gross film - mashed potatoes were runny and bland - chicken pot pie tasted like a frozen microwave meal - chicken and dumplings were awful. Stuck together and so mushy. The only thing good at all were the free apple fritters at the start of the meal. Seriously, do not go here. read more

My family and I went for Christmas buffet and it was awesome. everything they served was delicious.

The apple fritters, the service and the ambiance were the best part. The food was okay but nothing to write home about. However, we really enjoyed the fritters and the dessert we took home with us. I was looking forward to the broccoli cheese soup but it ended up being sold out. Our waitress was so great! read more

There are so many fun things to do in Sevierville, one of my must go places every time I'm in the area is The Apple Barn and Cider Mill. I can easily spend a few hours here. They have a great variety of shops on site. I always find something in the souvenirs shop. Wine tastings and hard cider tastings are a couple of my favorite things to do on site. The creamery has some fabulous flavors as well. I love the coffee based flavors of ice cream. Between the sweet treats, shopping opportunities, and the winery and cider house, theirs plenty to keep patrons of all ages happy! read more

The apple barn, and Cidermill was excellent and it had a great warming homestyle feel as soon as you came onto the property. It made me feel like I was in the country going to grandma's house. They had the best cider I have ever tasted in my life. It really did. And I don't like cider typically. read more

Really good nice place friendly , good price , good quality and great service to all the customers

The aesthetic was cute, however the dining room we were sat in was virtually a dining hall. There were only side items available for a vegetarian, and the server Amber left room for improvement. I'm usually the type to give grace on almost every situation, however this was not the best experience. read more

We were visiting the Gatlinburg area with a large group. Most of them hadn't been to the Apple Barn yet. The meal comes with Apple fritters with Apple Butter. Those were very good. I got the meatloaf, mashed potatoes, grilled corn (new on the menu & very good) and broccoli soup. Mine was very good and the broccoli soup was delicious; wish I had a bigger bowl. My wife got the chicken salad with fruit. She said she didn't like the big celery and really needed to be cut into smaller pieces. She also felt it was sort of bland and had to put pepper on it for more taste. The fruit with the chicken salad was very good and was presented on the plate with the chicken salad was very nicely. She also loved the broccoli soup! Shane our server was very good and very friendly! Job well done! Restaurant was very clean as well as the restaurant rooms. When we left we went to the Apple Barn store and purchased Peach Cider, Apple Jelly and the Apple Butter to take home with us. We definitely recommend the Apple Barn when you are in the area! Thanks for great food and service! read more

The restaurant was unique and so was their uniforms. Our server was great and welcoming. It started off with a bang the apple fritters and chutney were amazing. The broccoli cheddar and vegetable soup was very good. I was with a big group so we were able to try a lot of different items. I liked the family style concept and sharing sides. I got turkey and stuffing with gravy. Holy salt overload. All I tasted was salt and the stuffing was eh. My sisters shared the sampler with pot pie dumplings and fried chicken. They were scared of the dumpings and picked at the pot pie. The other two entrees were nothing impressive and rather not comment on. The sides reminded me of all frozen Sysco food or could have been canned. For the price, I was hoping for more of a southern home cooked meal or at least warmer food. Overall, left sad and hungry. read more
