Higher end, amazing food. We love the Dylan cocktail! It’s a show stopper. Good gluten free options. It’s really removed from civilization so to speak so don’t be surprised if you see a few bears here.

A Sevierville favorite. It’s always busy, and for good reason. The food is great, they have gluten free options.
