7 Best American Restaurants in Newport

“Best hamburger steak I have ever had. You have to give this place a try“

“Had the best steak Saturday night. Highly recommend The Grille. Hadn't been in a while because of work, but got it to go because I was craving a good steak. Dawn's staff did not disappoint. Fast and efficient even with the place as busy as it was. If you haven't been, you need to go, and if you haven't been in a while, you need to go back!!!“

“Thanks to the TN Welcome Center employee who recommended this restaurant! We ate there coming & going on our Michigan trip. Seafood buffet one time & country buffet the next. Both were delicious with great service each time. Reasonably priced with the buffet &/or menu choices. We’ve added it to our must-stops on upcoming TN visits. Thanks y’all!“

“We’re always looking for local diners and eateries rather than the corporate chain places and this one nailed it!
It was pretty busy when we pulled up but the server (carhop?) came and took our order right away. We noticed that meals would be brought out to cars and they would leave, and a new car would almost instantly take its place, some of them having called their order in and getting it brought out to them immediately. I was certain they had to be noting the vehicle on the ticket or something so when my meal was brought out I asked, I was surprised to learn that no, they don’t write your vehicle on the ticket. They do it all by memory! Every. Single. Vehicle that came up and ordered, they just remembered which one ordered what. It’s not like guests sitting at stationary tables in a standard restaurant. The gray Camry left and now a maroon Mazda was in its place, then the Hyundai was replaced by a Prius etc etc. but each one got their order. It was pretty impressive to watch!
Finally, the bacon double cheeseburger, chicken strips, and french fries were definitely the local diner style food we had been looking for. Will certainly eat here again the next time we’re back in Newport.“

“Great food, great waitress and friendly staff. The decor is amazingly unchanged!! @Newport, Tn. ‘25“

“Very nice salad bar especially the potatoe salad. Our server was so efficient with a southern hospitality . She (Jasmine) came back after we checked our food and made sure our drinks were full. Smiling faces are nice on a long trip.“
