“Matt was our server today. We normally come for lunch when my husband can get away for his lunch break. Love the lunch menu. I finally tried the voodoo tacos and they were awesome. Next time I’ll ask for extra cilantro like Matt suggested. The bread is always amazing. The service is always wonderful. Great food great service.“

“We went tonight for my mom’s birthday and our Waitress, Jen, was absolutely AMAZING!!! She interacted with all of us so well and cut up and chatted with us and we never had to “want” for anything. She already got it haha the drinks were never empty and we never had to ask for sauce or Anything! And the food was perfect as usual. But her personality and hospitality was literally the best. she so deserves to be recognized! We loved her!“

“The atmosphere was beautiful a 2 story farmhouse with great staff. The cinnamon roll is a must and 1 table could spilt as an appetizer. The home cooked biscuits are just like grandma's. All breakfast is locally grown and country cooked to perfection. Recommend for a good home cooked breakfast.“

“Excellent food. Good price, and the service was outstanding. Ms Vicki is the best“

“food was fantastic my only critique, at least for what I ordered, what's the price. assuming I didn't use a coupon on DoorDash $14>$11.. The portion size even in today's market was maybe worth $7. maybe it was just a specific thing that I ordered, The cheese steak wrap. but it was barely 5 in long and maybe three inches wide. still delicious just pretty pricey.“

“Wonderful service from Jennifer B!“

“Very difficult to find a good chicken-fired steak. I was hoping Holsten's might be the one. Their CFS was tender and hot when served. In summary, the best I have had in literally years. In fact, it was so good, I passed on dessert, and ordered a second CFS instead. Kitchen did a great job, and the meal was reasonably priced. I have paid a more for a lot less in the past.“

“Stopped in Sevierville on a Tuesday. I’m a little tired of eating at all standard interstate exit chain restaurants. Googled “restaurants near me” and the Local Eatery popped up. Tuesday was BOGO night there so my wife and I decided to give it a try. It was about a 15 minute drive there and we were glad we went.. it’s a sports bar type atmosphere and the type of food you would expect to find. Burgers, wings, chicken, pasta dishes, etc. I ordered a chicken tender platter and it was more than I could eat at one sitting. My wife ordered a burger rare and it was cooked, or not cooked perfectly. Service was very good. I finished my soft drink and was thinking I would flag down the waitress and ask for a refill. All of a sudden she appeared at the table, refill in hand. I didn’t even have to ask. We will be passing through again soon and will definitely be eating there.“

“yes the America staple the best i love this place“

“Great food. Great Service“

“Jamie is the best server!!! Loved her sense of humor.“

“we ate at the Sevierville location. 10/10 recommend! Sam our waitress was the best. so sweet and never made us feel rushed. kept our cups full too. the cooks there have steaks down to a science as our rib eye and prime rib were perfect in every way! we will be going back in December!“

“I want to give a shout out to Makayla, she did such an amazing job and was really attentive to our group. Thank you Makayla!“

“Tonight we made tacos all from ingredients we bought at Escobar’s, it was absolutely delicious!! We bought pastor, tortillas, produce, and salsas and every bite was amazing. We will definitely be back for more, looking forward to trying other meat options and picking up some tamales. Yum! This is a great Mexican market, authentic!“

“Grabbed a Philly and a chicken teriyaki sub to go. The staff were friendly and quick- and holy smokes were those subs hot! made it all the way back to our cabin over 20min away and they were still nice and hot to eat. Both subs were tasty, although I'd like to mention the teriyaki was especially appreciated for it being the salty kind of teriyaki as opposed to the overly sweet kind.“

“been coming here for years. staff is like family. fun place for karaoke, live bands, something to do every night.“

“Tiffany was fantastic, polite, prompt and I loved loved her bag trick, will absolutely send people here. Being a local we enjoy this restaurant more than most of the other local ones. Still love the 2 for 25$, one of the reasons I love it here.“

“Outlaw ribeye was juicy and delicious. Fire grilled corn on the cob was well seasoned and cooked great. The broccoli with the garlic butter was also cooked well, not mushy but not under cooked. Overall, my experience today was wonderful.“

“We visited Joe’s Crab Shack on Saturday, Dec. 6, 2025 in Sevierville, TN after a very long day at a cheer competition. Our group was a party of 25 — and only 10 of those were adults. 🫣 My family alone is a wild party of six. Usually for my daughter’s cheer competitions, I travel alone, or if my husband joins us, two of our kids stay with grandparents — one because she wants absolutely no part of the cheer world, and our sweet boy Madden is autistic and nonverbal. The world isn’t always built for children like him, and doing something as simple as a weekend getaway can feel impossible. It’s a hard reality for special needs parents. But this weekend, we decided to try. All four kids. New environment. Busy restaurant. I was nervous, honestly terrified, and almost backed out. By the time we arrived, the rest of our group was already seated — one long table for the adults and another for the kids. 😳 And then came Conrad, our server… and the reason this night became something unforgettable. From the moment we sat down, he was on top of everything — quick with our drinks, friendly, calm. But within a minute of getting our drinks, my husband knocked mine over. Before I could even get fully embarrassed, Conrad was right there insisting I stop cleaning because he’s got it covered. Then came the search for the “golden crab,” and… chaos. Kids looking under tables, drinks spilling everywhere — one kid’s drink, then a shark attack drink. Again, I jumped up to clean, and again Conrad swooped in, stopped me, and handled it. He even stood guard over the spill until he got a wet floor sign (kudos to him for following policy 😉). Despite the madness, he stayed cheerful, calm, and kept the atmosphere light. Meanwhile, I’m over there absolutely mortified — former server here, so I know how rough nights like that can be! But this is where I need to truly highlight what made this experience extraordinary. Conrad never rushed us. He never cut corners. Every kid who ordered a shark attack drink got the full experience — lights, excitement, the whole restaurant knowing. He poured into making the night special. Then, in a moment that meant more than he will ever know, I turned around and saw him kneeling beside my son at the kids’ table. Interacting with him. Talking to him. Giving him little toys. He didn’t stare. He didn’t avoid him. He simply saw him. I nudged my husband and we both watched our boy stemming by flap his arms in pure excitement — a moment we rarely get outside of home because we hardly ever go to sit down restaurants as a family. I don’t even think Conrad realized we were watching. But I felt something lift off my chest… like for the first time in a long time, I could relax and enjoy an outing with friends and my whole family. A few minutes later he gently tapped my shoulder to ask about Madden. I started to give the usual “Yes, he’s autistic and nonverbal,” but that wasn’t his question — he wanted to make sure there was something on the menu Madden would like, and if not, he said he’d see what accommodations he could make. My heart absolutely melted. We stayed for a long time — full chaos, noise, spills, laughter — and Conrad never once lost his spark or smile. When one of the kids wanted pepperoni for her cheese pizza (which her mom informed her she ordered her cheese), he found a way to bring her a little bowl anyway. Her face lit up like Christmas and she told him he was the best. And then, as if he hadn’t already gone above and beyond, he led the entire restaurant in singing happy birthday to one of the dads… telling everyone he was turning 15 so the kids could get a good laugh! I truly hope Conrad receives recognition for the way he cared for our wild party of 25. He made an enormous impact on this mama’s heart — especially as the mother of a sweet autistic boy. For the first time, I felt hope that Madden can be part of our family outings without the constant fear or overwhelm we’ve grown used to. Because of Conrad, this night became something more meaningful than dinner after a long day — it became a moment of“

“Unfortunately we had cause to complain about the service - but our server Jessie and supervisor Ashley sorted this out. It meant a longer wait for our food but it was delicious. We liked that the manager came by too checking on us and they made a deduction to the total bill. Well done Red Lobster - you handled the situation in a friendly and professional way.“

“Great experience! Smoked chicken was the most flavor throughout and the seasoning was perfect. My dining buddy had the 10oz sirloin Steak, baked potato, and side salad. The steak was cooked medium well and was great...thick cut and juicy. Loved the atmosphere. Waiter was prompt. Plenty of parking. We will be back for sure. Thanks 👍“

“4-15-26 their web page says closed today but they have a bone in wing special of .50 cents per wing. If your here for the rod run go eat or grab some for the road. They close today at 4 so a little late post. You would have to drive a Prius to not love some Tony Gore BBQ. Joking 😂 Everyone loves Tony Gore.“

“Always relaxing and fun eating here. I love the Onion chargrilled burger !! The employees always are the nicest sweetest bunch.
Average prices , delicious comfort food with and mostly original decor. You will love the environment of this original diner .“

“I really enjoy Steak 'n Shake. Their food is priced well and in my opinion tastes way better than other fast food restaurants. They use real beef tallow to fry with and you can definitely tell the difference. Well worth it. Wish there were more locations.“
