8 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Loudon

“Best place to be with the best people. Great wine and the atmosphere is unmatched. Be here or be square. You won't find a better view of some TN mountains. The trees are having new babies and it makes it that much better! Great wine. Such peaceful views. Casual and "be who you are" atmosphere. Love it here.“

“Sons of Smoke has a great local following and appears to be family-run, which I appreciate. Their namesake smoke on the ribs was excellent, with a great char and deep flavor. However the meat itself was quite dry, almost grainy in texture, that their sweet and hot barbecue sauces couldn't save. I enjoyed the Friday special, the pork tenderloin sandwich. It was pounded very thin and breaded well so that it had both a crunch and was chewy. The rest of the food, while cooked well, was bland and lacked flavor overall, including the green beans, onion rings, pulled pork, and baked potato. A little more seasoning and Sons of Smoke could easily be one of the best barbecue joints around.“

“The place used to be a train station. They have redone the place very nice. Sorry, but I didn't take any inside photos. Some people can get upset when you take photos that might include them.I went to lunch with several co-workers and got a lunch entrée. A Southwestern Crunch Bowl and a Dr. Pepper. The entrée was ok and the drink was good. They got busy, and the waitress made such a quick pass that I wasn't able to flag her down for a drink refill. However, I did get her to make me one to go when I paid. Back to the entrée, it was hot but still bit flat. There were roasted red peppers and onions, black beans, white rice, and chucks of white meat chicken in sauce and surrounded by just 6, Dorito size and style, chips. Plain sticky white rice didn't cut it for me. I don't think the chicken was seasoned either. Probably out of a can. The black beans were scarce, but there was plenty of chicken. The size of the meal was good for the price of approximately $10. Add some roasted corn, season the chicken and rice appropriately, add more chips and lighten up on the hot sauce and I think the entrée would be pretty good. ?A couple of my coworkers go there all the time and love the place. One got a Patty Melt and loved it. Another got a wrap and liked it. When I eat there again, I'll try something different and update this review. If you're into beer, they have plenty of different kinds. I'm not a beer drinker, so I can't comment beyond that. If you don't like beer, they have whisky too. My preference for an alcoholic beverage.“

“My and my husband really enjoyed our lunch and will for sure be back. He loved the shrimp cocktail that he got, he especially like that it came in a bowl and I happened to get chili relleno, and I was so thrilled that it came without breading, which I love, it had sauce and cheese and it was absolutely delicious!!!“

“Ambience: Live, Laugh, LoveService: FriendlyFood: The Mac and Cheese Bites - AHHHHH-mazing!From the first bite, it was clear these weren’t just any snack; they were a revelation. Encased in a crispy, golden-brown crust was a molten core of creamy, cheesy bliss—each bite a harmonious blend of texture and taste that danced across the palate like a ballet of dairy and pasta. It was as if the gods of comfort food had descended to bestow upon us mere mortals the pinnacle of culinary achievement.I am forever ruined. They will not just satisfy your hunger; they will capture your soul, leaving you forever wandering in search of that fleeting taste of perfection. Farewell, my former food loves, you pale in comparison to the majestic wonder of these cheesy delights.“

“Adorable venue with excellent vibes. Staff super friendly. Wasn't really a fan of their coffee or chai but that's personal preference. Their pesto chicken sandwich was delicious though.Parking: A couple of spots in front of the venue but also an entire row of parking off the side, very easy to navigate.“

“I adore this place and the owner Simon! He's so knowledgeable about liquors, craft beers and pretty much all aspects of life :) Such an intriguing and helpful guy. Love the atmosphere, and I even practiced the piano there once (terribly) and he didn't flinch. There was a band that played a week ago and they were talent. I mean pure talent and vibe. Love all about this place!“

“What a wonderful place! I had the best buttermilk biscuit I've ever had in my life. I ordered the catfish and it was AMAZING! My Moscow mule was made perfectly. The building was really cool with boat docks for miles. I think they must really party hard here in the summer.The only thing I didn't like and was confused by were these little bird house looking boxes they had on their tiki deck. The boxes are clearly made to trap and kill bumble bees as they were half full with the bodies.Now I'm not from here and maybe they have a good reason to kill all these bumbles....but according to the Internet bumble bees are endangered and extremely important to the ecosystem around here. So that was weird. Great place though. I had a lovely time.Vegetarian options: They had baked potatoes, a bread basket, and salads.Parking: The parking lot is HUGE! If it's full that means there's a really long wait time. Worth the wait for the food.“
