“We visited Cosby and were there for a week. We dined at Janice’s Diner 4 times…..yes, it is THAT good! Prices are beyond reasonable, staff was super friendly and the food was down home delicious! Do not pass up on this hidden gem!“

“Fun place to visit with a great cafe on site.“

“Perfect place to stop for a bite to eat ! We had a delicious breakfast with the best coffee! Jess was so sweet and we enjoyed chatting with her and learning of some must sees!“

“Thanks to the TN Welcome Center employee who recommended this restaurant! We ate there coming & going on our Michigan trip. Seafood buffet one time & country buffet the next. Both were delicious with great service each time. Reasonably priced with the buffet &/or menu choices. We’ve added it to our must-stops on upcoming TN visits. Thanks y’all!“

“Great food, great waitress and friendly staff. The decor is amazingly unchanged!! @Newport, Tn. ‘25“

“My family went to Grill 73 for the first time today, it was my daughter's birthday and she really wanted to try Russian food, so we decided to give it a shot. We were not disappointed! The place is small and the exterior is a bit deceiving, it looks a lot less great than it is from the outside. The man and lady running the place were super friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious! Prices were commensurate with the quality, it's not a cheap place to go, but the hand-made and delicious food is worth the asking price.

We'll definitely be returning when we get down Newport way again, it was an excellent experience!“

“TikTok fully influenced me and it was 100% worth it. English Mountain Trout is such a fun little Smoky Mountain/Sevierville stop like lowkey touristy in the cutest way. It’s cash only (but they have an ATM on site), tons of seating, and super family-friendly. Parking is a little tight, so we parked down the road on the grass and it was totally fine. The best part: it’s perfect for kids who want to go fishing, but you don’t want to commit to an all-day lake situation where everyone gets bored after 20 minutes. It’s quick you catch the fish and they’ll grill or fry it for you right after. We did grilled trout and tried lemon pepper and black pepper… and both were delish like genuinely. Plus the cutest little photo op holding your fish before they cook it. Core memory vibes, would absolutely do it again.“

“Very nice salad bar especially the potatoe salad. Our server was so efficient with a southern hospitality . She (Jasmine) came back after we checked our food and made sure our drinks were full. Smiling faces are nice on a long trip.“

“Always love Waffle House! Shane is amazing!“
