| Blaine's Grill And Bar - Gatlinburg |
Blaine's Grill And Bar located in the heart of Gatlinburg has a unique restaurant atmosphere. When entering, you quickly notice it's a multi-level restaurant with distinct sections for dining. The wood decor is very "Country Western" type. Very nice.
The hostess at the entrance radioed ahead to have us seated. after walking up two flights of stairs our table server greeted us and led us to our table.

| Blaine's Loaded Potato Skins |
In a minute, our waitress returned and asked for our drink and appetizer order. I ordered the loaded potato skins for an appetizer. in less than 10 minutes, our appetizers were delivered. As you can see, there were plenty of them and they were loaded with bacon and cheese. The potato skins were well done, not burnt, and very good tasting. The cheese was plenty as well as the well-cooked bacon. So far, so good.

| Blaine's Chicken Pasta |
For my dinner, I ordered the Chicken Parmesan Penne. I was expecting penne pasta in tomato sauce and a slab of breaded fried chicken covered with cheese and tomato sauce. I received this. I was pleasantly surprised. Instead of a slab of chicken, it was cut up into small strips and chunks and mixed with the penne and sauce. It was surprising good.
The chicken was juicy, hot, and plentiful, and smothered in a cheese and tomato sauce that was very good. The penne was well-cooked, and the aforementioned sauce was just zesty enough to bring the taste home.
The cost was very reasonable. The loaded potato skins were $5.95 and the main course was $9.95 plus diet drink. Total cost without tip was $18.00 dollars. For Gatlinburg, and for the portions served, it was a great bargain. The excellent service of the hostess and waitress only added to the good experience.

The food plates look delicious! With my diet they would drive me to an early grave but at least I might die with a smile on my face. Do they do delivery to Mexico?

Noborders4me,
yes, it was very good, also very high in calories. And no, I do not think they deliver to Mexico. You’ll have to visit Gatlinburg to experience the cuisine.

That looks good, except for the yellowish orange sauce. Now, is this in the alternate Lost reality or the island Lost reality? LOL

At first, I was leery of what was in front of me there, but it is the cheese in the sauce that colored it to a slight orange tint.
