Share your opinion about The Abbey at the Heartland Little River Capel
We were checking out the Knoxville/Smoky Mountain area and were intrigued by a photo of The Abbey. We found Scott and Tanja very accommodating, friendly, and enthusiastic about the area they call home. Even let left-handed Dale take the right-handed guitar off the wall to attempt to play a tune.
Absolutely our new favorite restaurant when we are in Pigeon Forge. Excellent food, beautiful and unique atmosphere (on the river with spacious outdoor seating), and exceptional service! Stopped in for lunch and almost went back there for dinner the same day.
The Italian sub was fantastic. The chicken fingers, tater tots and the ranch dressing was really good. We will definitely be back. We been coming for years and never noticed this little place. You all should try it! You won’t be sorry.
