10 Best American Restaurants near Harriman

“Chuck’s Deli in Harriman, Tennessee is an absolute gem for breakfast. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a welcoming atmosphere and a level of cleanliness that stands out immediately. The place is spotless, inviting, and feels genuinely cared for. Ashley, our waitress and manager, made the experience even better. She was incredibly polite, attentive, and generous with her time, making sure we were cared for and had everything we needed. Her professionalism and pride for her restaurant added a personal touch that’s hard to find these days. And the food was fantastic. Everything came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. It’s the kind of breakfast that makes you want to come back the next morning and the one after that. Not to mention, the prices are unbeatable for the portions you are given! Whether you're a local or just passing through, Chuck’s Deli is absolutely worth the stop. Highly recommend!“

“On August 5, my husband, daughter, and I stopped at Cracker Barrel in Harriman. We were on our first outing in an unfamiliar van, a new venture for us with him going out and using his wheelchair. We were returning from the Vanderbilt ALS Clinic in Nashville. It had been a long day and we were having quite a rough time trying to get my husband situated but the staff was patient and courteous through it all. We appreciate that. Thank you. We would also like to thank the unidentified person(s) who paid for our meals. It was so very kind of you. You blessed us and lifted our spirits. May God bless you all.“

“I usually don't do reviews unless a place is really good or really bad. I'm very impressed with this place. We've recently eaten here a handful of times and I have to say the food is extraordinary and they have great customer service. You can go spend $12 on the same old slapped together garbage at McDonalds and Wendy's or you can spend $12 on a premium meal at Burger Station.“

“Super nice folks, fed our entire crew for a fair price but more importantly the food was top notch. The soups and banana pudding definitely get 2 thumbs up. Thank you all“

“We were blown away by this Shoneys! The food was all good and hot, the buffet was well stocked and fresh, and the restaurant was very clean. Our service was wonderful, too. And this was on a random Monday at lunch… would absolutely come back if we lived close.“

“Dining here is always a pleasure and we've been for multiple steak and seafood nights, Italian night, and now Mexican night. It's always wonderful seeing the chef and his family! The portions are huge and a great value for the price. Highly recommend to anyone - we drive 45 minutes to get here and it's always worth it!“

“Look no further than Maple Creek Bistro for the holiday spirit. Best holiday decor!! On a Thursday night, owners Toni and Joe, along with Mya, and the entire staff served a very remarkable dinner. Extensive food and drink menu. Great for a date night or drinks after work. 10/10!!! Well done Toni.“

“Stopped in today for sliders and fries and was genuinely impressed — easily my new favorite spot in Roane county. The atmosphere is warm, the food is spot‑on, and every staff member I interacted with was friendly and attentive. You can tell this place is run with real pride. I had a brief conversation with the owner, and her passion for both the restaurant and her team was obvious. With my background in fast‑paced hospitality, I immediately noticed how well this place operates. Handee Burgers is doing something special. I’ve heard others say it’s the best breakfast here so I’ll definitely be back soon to try it!“
