23 Best Southern Restaurants near Sevierville

“TikTok fully influenced me and it was 100% worth it. English Mountain Trout is such a fun little Smoky Mountain/Sevierville stop like lowkey touristy in the cutest way. It’s cash only (but they have an ATM on site), tons of seating, and super family-friendly. Parking is a little tight, so we parked down the road on the grass and it was totally fine. The best part: it’s perfect for kids who want to go fishing, but you don’t want to commit to an all-day lake situation where everyone gets bored after 20 minutes. It’s quick you catch the fish and they’ll grill or fry it for you right after. We did grilled trout and tried lemon pepper and black pepper… and both were delish like genuinely. Plus the cutest little photo op holding your fish before they cook it. Core memory vibes, would absolutely do it again.“

“The staff there is amazing, helpful, and friendly. The food was very good. Baked beans were delicious. Smash burger special was the best burger ever! Go try this place!“

“My wife and I visited for dinner while in TN and were very impressed with The Appalachian! Both of our meals were exceptional, and the service was great as well.“

“Boy this was a great meal. The vegetable soup was loaded with all kinds of vegetables. The fried chicken was perfect. Hot juicy. The coating stayed on and good flavor. Chicken pot pie was good with a flaky crust I cut my country fried steak with a fork. Mashed potatoes and gravy was great. Green beans flavorful. The broccoli and stratus soup was creamy and good. Sweet tea good , Julie was a great waitress“

“Rose was our server today amd she was very sweet and took very good care of us. We were a table of 4. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the country plates that included southern fried chicken, the sampler platter, chicken liver and the chicken strip dinner. Our side were family style, meaning shareable. We got green beans, collard greens, mashed potatoes, fried okra and were all good, but perhaps the collard greens was bit too salty, but all very good portions with left overs to take home. My personal favorite are the apple fritters & the apple julup juice, yum! We were served quickly, everything was fresh. The silverware and plates were clean and the table was clean. The hostess was inviting. This isna goos place to shop afterwards with a country store and pie shop and a Christmas shop on the property. Plenty of parking.“

“The food was very good! We eat 2 evenings in a row. The only complaints the baked potato’s were not very hot and the server’s could be more attentive to if you need a refill. 😊“

“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.“

For starters we were served a cast iron pan of cornbread with butter The sampler platter had meatloaf , pulled pork, greens and mashed potatoes. it came with a bowl of Brunswick stew and a side bowl of pinto beans.

“The food was very good, but I can’t believe that u should have your dog set on a chair and then let it eat off the table, I love dogs and cats, but there’s a cut off point at some time.“

“The food and service were so good that we ate dinner here two days in a row.
Dinner starts with a croissant drenched in honey butter. We added a Margarita and pineapple mule to dinner the first night. The shrimp and fish had a light crispy batter all were perfectly fried. The steak tips in mashed potatoes, covered in grilled onions and brown gravy were perfect.
Next night was crispy chicken on a bed of greens with sweet pecans. His country fried steak was huge but a little inconsistent thickness made it's texture vary. Our servers were college kids and very attentive.
