Restaurants in Townsend

“The wife and I celebrated our 21st anniversary at this wonderful place. The duck was absolutely mouth-watering. The cheese board was amazing, and the service was awesome.”

“If you’re searching for a place to stay around the Smokey Mountains, you’ve found the best place- Dancing Bear! My Husband and I stayed at Dancing Bear in Townsend for our honeymoon and it was the best experience we’ve had. The cabin was clean, easy to get to, quiet, and absolutely beautiful. They offered complimentary bikes to take on trails and had a very nice hot tub on the porch that was so peaceful.The town of Townsend can still accommodate your travel needs with the Cades Cove winery, coffee shops, beautiful trails to hike, and cute shops but it is crowded with crazy traffic. If I could give our whole Townsend experience more stars, I would! The bistro was also hands down the best food we’ve had in our trip! The chicken is the best chicken I’ve ever had. I cannot recommend Dancing Bear and the bistro enough!”

“Best breakfast I have had in a long time! The blueberry streusel pancake was absolutely delicious! Missy was our waitress and she did a superb job! We sat at a table overlooking the river- beautiful view!”

“Food is phenomenal! Shrimp and sausage was the absolute best I’ve ever had! Great a great selection of craft beer. Beer cheese and pretzel was incredible!!! Jaime and Heather were AWESOME!!!!!”

“Waited 45 minutes because we failed to make reservations, but it was worth every minute. We had the filet and the pan seared trout. Best steak anywhere and cooked exactly the way we ordered. Best trout I think we’ve ever had. Don’t pass on dessert even if you have to get it to go! Great waitress, too.”

“We stayed at The Guest House, the staff deices you down the hill to The Barn. Dinner was four courses, with five dishes to choose among for each course. The Beverage Menu is a 290 page PDF on a tablet. I studied it online before dinner, selected a very well-priced Jaboulet. Started with a glass of Champagne. A whiskey with dessert. Lovely.”

“Wanted a bottle of sweet Muscadine wine for my Easter dinner Sunday. The girls working there let me sample the red and the white. They were very friendly and helpful throughout the process. The white Muscadine tasted exactly like the grape itself. Bold and robust with a subtle sweet tone. The red is sweet with a slightly muted Muscadine flavor not as up front as the white. I did go with the red as my mom really likes sweet wines. I also grabbed a couple of $3.00 wine glasses. This place is really nice inside and has cheese and wine related items. I highly recommend the wine slushy. They have a wine for every palate I just prefer sweet. Stop in and have you three free samples and pick one out. You won't be disappointed.”

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Hunt Brothers Pizza, and it was an outstanding experience! The pizza was simply divine, with a perfect blend of flavors that left my taste buds dancing. The crust was crispy yet tender, and the toppings were fresh and abundant. The cozy ambiance added to the overall enjoyment of the meal. A must-visit for any pizza enthusiast!Parking: Hunt Brothers Pizza not only serves delicious pizza but also provides excellent parking facilities. The convenience of ample parking space made my visit stress-free. It's a small detail, but it contributes to an overall positive experience. No need to worry about finding a spot – just another reason to enjoy their tasty pizza hassle-free!”

“Great barbecue with fantastic sides. We had pulled pork sandwiches with mustard potatoe salad and fried okra. We sat on the back, screened in, covered porch, and watched 2 geese families with a total of 8 babies. The waitress was extremely friendly. We had a great experience and will make this a regular stop when we are in town!”

“I love coming to the Abbey for food and drinks. It’s a great space to meet up and hang out with friends, with lots of space and seating. The rotating drinks are always great and my go-to food order is the pork belly pizza. Friday night rib specials are also great!”

“Great local restaurant just outside the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Staff is very nice, food was great. Didn't get to try their salad bar, will do so next time!”

“Our local fave for 25+ years! Best part of the small town!!!! Small is best!Parking: Gravel,Kid-friendliness: Kids meals, Ice Cream!!!!Wheelchair accessibility: It's all even parking but a gravel lot . My mom uses a rollator, so it's doable”

“We placed a pickup order for about 13 people and I can say I am impressed! They fixed all complications and made sure everything was perfect! The employees were very kind and were flexible.”

“I was there today and ordered the ribeye steak. Wow was that amazing if you’re in there area you really need to try this. Forget about A1 and Heinz 57 sauce try their apple moonshine barbecue sauce. The stake is so good you don’t need a sauce my friend ate hers without any sauce she loved it. Also, my daughter loves their smoked chicken. My son had a hamburger from there and he said it was really good. My son-in-law had a brisket and he said it was the best he ever tasted Good food, good service. Awesome atmosphere. What more could you ask for?Parking: There is plenty of parkingKid-friendliness: There was 11 of us to a more of a small children. They have high chairs for the small ones. they gave us cups with lids, so the younger ones didn’t spill anything they were constantly filling our classes we never had to ask for anything super service.”

“We ate here twice during our stay. The first morning, Kay served us and she was such a sweet attentive lady, always checking on us. The second morning, we were served by Larry and he was on spot with coffee and water or whatever we needed. Eating here was like going back to grandma's house. Warm, friendly, inviting. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxing. Wonderful people! We will be visiting them again next time in the area. I wholeheartedly recommend if you go through Townsend, TN., that you stop in for breakfast.”

“The girls that work there are very sweet, professional and all around amazing. The coffee is always made right and tastes delicious along with their food. I highly recommend this place”

“Went for a latte as the last stop in our weekend in Townsend. Tried the lavender latte and was the perfect amount without it being overpowering. It’s a quaint shop with several different coffee/espresso drinks and some food options. They have various specialty drinks.”

“Thanks so much for making our family reunion so memorable. You went above and beyond making sure everything was ready and available for us when we got there. This was the first time some of the cousins had been together in over 20 years. Again thanks for all you did. Ruth Lane (Bruce’s mom)”
