Cootie Brown's N. Roan is a hidden gem located alongside a road in East Tennessee. Despite its unassuming atmosphere, the restaurant serves some of the best Caribbean-inspired and BBQ food in the area. The menu is extensive, with large portions and fresh ingredients. Favorites include the con queso dip and chips, taco salad with black beans, and the Mediterranean salad. The service is generally good, although it may be slower during peak hours. The dessert menu is constantly changing, but the key lime pie is a must-try. The staff are friendly and accommodating, creating a fun vibe with newspaper menus and a lively atmosphere. The restaurant offers patio seating, which is nice if you can handle the noise from nearby Speedway. Visitors often enjoy the spiral chips and Jamaican Beef Pies, with the tasty, spicy, and sweet sauce elevating the pies. Entrees like the BBQ pork sandwich, Philly Cheese Steak sammie, and burgers are popular, with many noting the quality of the bread and ingredients. The key lime pie remains a favorite dessert, with its silky bottom layer and tart topping, served with a thick graham crust. While some drinks like Modelo beers may be served tepid, overall the experience is enjoyable. The restaurant is a great spot for lunch or dinner, perfect for trying new flavors and sizes, and it’s likely to become a favorite.
