Where to eat in Sevierville

Sevierville's restaurants are spread between its historic downtown, the Parkway near the outlets, and the farmland on the edge of town. It's a good place to find local cooking, chef-driven dinners, and easy family meals, usually with a shorter wait than you'll find in Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg.

Southern cooking

Holston's Kitchen serves traditional Southern comfort food, and Aubrey's pairs Southern flavors with a modern touch. For a farm-fresh meal, Applewood Farmhouse Restaurant is a longtime local stop near the Apple Barn, and Five Oaks Farm Kitchen serves seasonal Southern dishes.

Wood-fired and chef-driven dinners

At The Appalachian, the kitchen cooks smoky, seasonal dishes over a wood fire with a focus on local ingredients. It's a great choice for a special dinner. For upscale American dishes in a historic setting, head downtown to Seasons 101 in the Central Hotel.

Downtown Sevierville dining

Downtown Sevierville is a pleasant place to spend an evening. Pinchy's Lobster & Raw Bar brings lobster, oysters, and shrimp to a historic downtown building, and The Pines Downtown is a former theater turned into a lively spot for pizza, cocktails, and games. While you're downtown, visit the Dolly Parton statue at the courthouse.
