13 Best American Restaurants near Sewanee

“Our experience at Judith was nothing short of spectacular! Our server Olivia was professional and very knowledgeable. She was attentive and made sure that our date night went perfectly. The Oyster appetizer was one of the best we have had outside of New Orleans. We shared a perfectly cooked steak, and the best chicken dish (Milanese) I have ever ordered at a restaurant. I would absolutely recommend this gem of a restaurant to anyone visiting Sewanee. The food at Judith is very much representative of high-end fine dining, but the vibes are warm, cozy, welcoming. We will be back soon and often!“

“My family loved this place. We stopped through to stay at the Smoke House Hotel coming home from a trip and went to the Patio for dinner. It’s a small eclectic space, with live music every Fri and Sat, and the food was good with generous portions. We highly recommend the fried okra and fried pies with ice cream, both were amazing! We loved the atmosphere and friendly people and hope to visit again. You could bring your family, come on a date, or to hang out with friends. Don’t let the location or look of the place scare you away-this place is a real gem.“

“Amazing! My husband and I, along with our three kids, ate here on vacation and we had a 10/10 experience. We love a dive bar, down home feel, this place is that vibe, it’s so cozy. It wasn’t busy so our kids could walk around and look at all the things and we didn’t feel like they were being annoying. The food was SO GOOD and cheap! We were very impressed. Our waitress was so kind and attentive, I made a comment about the green beans being so good and she responded that it was her mom’s recipe and even shared the secret ingredient. My kids wanted a scoop of ice cream, she went above and beyond and brought out all the toppings to let them choose if they wanted anything added. There was a live singer whose voice was incredible. Just an amazing experience!! Stop here, your family will love it.“

“I liked it! Service was nice, the waitress was fast and very sweet. I got the hand breaded and fried chicken tender sandwich with onion rings and it was good and hot. The live music was a little gospel focused but nice background noise! Bring your own alcohol if you can/want, grab a sandwich, and listen to the live music for a few hours. I had a great time!“
