10 Best Southern Restaurants in 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.“

“Party of six on vacation looking for a local eatery. We couldn’t be more pleased with the food, service, and Kylie (our waitress). We ordered burgers, fish, fettuccine alfredo, chicken/pasta, boneless wings, fries, baked potato, okra, and slaw. For appetizers, we ordered cheese curds, and fried pickles. We’d order everything all over again without hesitation. Prices were reasonable and portion of plates were great. The atmosphere was family friendly. Overall, kudos! We’ll be back next time we’re in town.“

“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.“

“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!“

“We had virtually no wait when we went. Our server, Walter, was awesome. He was on the spot with our drinks, helped us understand the flow of things and the menu, how the side options work and was great with our kids! Apple fritters and julep are great, food was good but I will say the Mac n cheese leaves a little bit to be desired. Overall, a great place to go for dinner and we'll visit again on the next trip!“

“The food was so delicious!! The apple fritters was incredible with power sugar & apple butter. The juice was so tasty. The potato soup was great. This could be the whole meal before the main food came out as it was so good. I had the turkey & ham club sandwich. All tastes were great. My wife has the chicken salad croissant which see really liked. Can't wait to go back for more apple fritters!! Service was excellent.“

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

“The atmosphere and service was wonderful. The food was pretty good, however the cinnamon roll had a little too much frosting for us. If you’re not a big fan of frosting I would recommend you ask for a little and maybe get some on the side. It also isn’t what you except for a frosting. Chicken and waffles were good and the chicken fried steak was just ok might have been just a little over cooked.“

“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. 😊“

“We were passing through and decided to stop since we no longer have a Shoney’s in our hometown. The food was great , service was great, and my kids loved getting to try their first hot fudge cake!“
