From the time we arrived, atmosphere, staff, and food, I felt like a queen. Everything was timed perfectly. The food was exhilarating. I closed my eyes, and I could taste every ingredient involved. If you ever come down to Gatlinburg, I 100 % recommend visiting. It's totally worth the money!“

“Without a doubt the best ribs anywhere in the southeast. Fall off the bone and the rib sauce was out of this world. The sweet potato casserole was the bomb too. Good salad bar also. The staff, waiters and waitresses were kind and friendly. Reasonable prices !!!! I myself will eat there again and again every time I visit.“

“We had dinner at Howard’s last night (8-13). We had a beautiful table over looking the water. Our waitress was great. I wish I had remembered her name but was she was from Romania. We were a party of 4, 3 had the ribeye and 1 the filet. All were cooked perfectly. It was a nice way to celebrate my partners birthday! Thanks again for a nice evening!“

“Went there for the first time today. It did not disappoint!!! I had the French Toast Royale! Delicious!!! There is a reason they sell the Royale sauce by the quart!!! Yummy!!!😋 The Staff were very friendly!! We will go back!!!“

“A smaller, cozy spot where the wait staff provides outstanding service while serving great home-cooked food from the kitchen. I always notice how clean the dining area is and Trishs passed with flying colors. Keep up the good work and we will always return when we’re in the Gatlinburg area!“

“DEVIN GOT ME DRUUUUNKKKK! Thank you for your hospitality!“

“Usually eat at Pancake Pantry and decided to try this. This blew Pancake Pantry out of the water! Best breakfast I have had. The pancakes are ridiculous. The waffle was on point and the savory food was amazing as well. We will be eating here moving forward.

“What a fun experience. The place was super busy, but after a short wait, we were able to belly up to the bar and start our taste testing. Our bar tender was awesome. Super friendly and a barrel of laughs. We loved all the great samples, and they had a great deal going on, so we came home with plenty to drink. If you visit all 3 locations and get a stamp, you get a free T-shirt. We will definitely come back for another visit..“

“One of my all time favs! The grits and pancakes are on point. Literally never had a bad meal from here“

“Conveniently located pizzeria with great tasting food and friendly service.

The pizza is exactly what you want after a long hike at the Smokey Mountains or shopping in downtown. The Caeser salad and chicken Alfredo was also great food options we ordered along with the pizza. Sodas were a bit pricey but the local beer was a great bargain for a restaurant at $4 a bottle.

The dining area is quaint and the fireplace adds to the relaxing environment. There is also outdoor seating if it suits. No outside heaters were seen.

Our server Angela was a gem. Friendly smile and always attentive to any requests we had.

Parking: Parking is super difficult to find. If you are staying in the area it is worth a walk if nearby.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly menu if not ordering pizza.“

“We had a great experience. Food and atmosphere was amazing. We loved all of the details. But Stacey/Larue was amazing!!! She needs a raise!“

“Amazing Beer & Cider! Their pizza was also Amazing. I will definitely be going back.“

“We had an amazing evening at Redoak Bistro. It was cozy and romantic offering a dining experience that was the perfect balance of elegance and comfort. The bistro is run by a delightful husband and wife duo whose hospitality is exceptional, and you can tell they pour their hearts into every aspect of the restaurant, making it a truly special place. The small plates menu was a standout—each dish was a beautiful homage to European flavors with great attention given to presentation and service. We had the smoked salmon bruschetta, the duck foie gras, the smoked oyster flatbread and enjoyed a bottle of Malbec, then ended with a delicious chocolate torte. Absolutely Amazing!! Can’t wait to go back!“

“Ricky was awesome! And the wine was … worth every sip and bottle we bought. The only knock I have to give my guy though … he didn’t tell us about the T-shirt deal.
My wife and I didn’t learn about it until the end of our trip after we had already hit all the Tennessee drink spots that you have to go hit, in order to get the shirt.
Nonetheless. Great experience and definitely worth going back to. (We did 3 days in a row)“

“The food was great and servings were huge, our go to Mexican place when we visit Gatlinburg from now on!“

“What a great place to dine. We stop here every time we are in Tennessee. Great service and good selection of food on the menu. Everything we have tried has been excellent. Too full to eat dessert and the dessert case will make you want to take something to go. Can't wait to come back.“

“Such a good little restaurant. Prices are great! Quick service and so friendly.“

“We order delivery and had Blake bring it to our hotel. He was great. I sent him to the wrong address and he was so gracious in finding me to give it to me. He had a great smile and laughter. Thank you for being so kind and giving great customer service. Pizza was ordered and delivered in 35 minutes. Fastest pizza yet“

“Adam was great! Best first time there!“

“The dough they use is amazing❣️“

“We were in the mall and could smell the pizza from one of the higher levels. I ordered a small, 10-inch cheese pizza to share with my partner. In all honesty, we should have gotten some slices, because it would have been around the same price, and I think the slices would have technically been bigger. We placed our order and I paid with a card, which incurred a 4% credit card surcharge. We waited about ten minutes for our pizza. When it came out, it was piping hot and tasted really good! I almost wish I had gotten a larger size. The flavor was great and the crust was perfectly crispy and thin. The only potential "red flag" I noticed was that when we visited, two children were working. The person who took our order was a child, then I noticed another one in the kitchen. I understand this is a family business, and the children were super respectful, but it was something unique about this pizza place that I had not noticed in other places I have been to. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience here and would recommend stopping in.“

“Victor who worked Friday on the Rail Runner was awesome. So kind and helpful! Thank you Victor!“

“I had the Boursin filet (a filet mignon stuffed with Boursin cheese) and it was one of the top 3 steaks I’ve ever eaten-on par with Ruth’s Chris/Chophouse/Manny’s in Minneapolis. The service was terrific (especially our waiter Gilbert) and the ambience was great. I can’t wait to return.“

“Service was fantastic! They seated us right away. Our waitress was very understanding of my food allergies (even checking with the kitchen to be accurate) Food was superb. They did forget our appetizer, but wasn't needed after seeing the size of the entrees. Each staff member was helpful with each other and customers. Great team & great price for the location :D“

“excellent food. GREAT service. modestly priced considering we are in a tourist location. highly recommend.“

“Very authentic, reasonably priced, great food! Fried chicken and plantain fries were great. Large menu of food and drinks, plus the enthusiastic service can't be beat! highly recommended.“

“The food was top notch but what really made this experience grand was our server Tonya. She was so friendly! On top of that, The chef even came out and asked how everything was. We will 100% be back next time we visit from Wisconsin! We will 100% ask for Tonya again!“

“This was my absolute favourite place to eat over the three weeks I spent in the states. I got the BLTA and an orange juice and they were delicious. Staff were friendly and helpful. They kept topping up our drinks so fast. Would love to go back one day!“

“Sammie was an amazing waitress! She was very sweet and accommodating at a time when the restaurant was filled to capacity. Delicious food and better service!“

“We visit Smoky Mountain Brewery frequently. It is one of our favorite places in Gatlinburg. The food is always great along with the service. We always eat in the bar because our favorite server is Oana from Romania. She always remembers what beer we drink and when she takes our order she never writes anything down which always amazes us. She is very attentive and always pleasant to talk to. One of the reasons we always enjoy our visits to the Brewery.“

“The mahi fish sandwich$16.99 is so delicious I have it at least once a week”’ great portions“

“Our server was absolutely amazing, he made our entire experience wonderful. His name escapes me and I’m so angry about that! But he was the sweetest person. He had a beard and a slight accent but he always used “ma’am” and “sir” and said thank you and you’re welcome … such a sweetie. Our food was fabulous and it came out so fast. Impressive service for a super busy restaurant in a touristy area. I hope everyone can get this sweetheart of a waiter!“

“First, there was no wait. The place was empty.

I started with deep-fried pickles. They were overcooked and much too thin. All you were eating was the breading.

My main course was the smoked meatloaf. It was cooked well, I don't personally care for barbecue sauce on my meatloaf, however. It's worth a try nonetheless.

My server was cordial and attentive.

Overall midcore experience.“
