Sevierville is where you eat when you want a table without a forty-minute wait. A short drive north of the Parkway crowds, with some of the best local cooking in the county — here's where our team goes.
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.
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. Learn more about the area with our guide to the Apple Barn in Sevierville.
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 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.
Roma Table serves Italian dishes, and Bluffs Grill & Tap is a laid-back stop for burgers, drinks, and live music. The Roaming Gnome is another good choice for pub food and a night out, and Iron Forge Brewing Company pairs local beer with mountain views.
