Smoky Mountain Brewery And Restaurant

Gatlinburg, Tennessee has literally dozens of fabulous restaurants to choose from and the Smoky Mountain Brewery and Restaurant is an excellent choice.

The Brewery is of course a micro brewery that has hundreds of brands of beer and spirits but I was there for the food. And the Brewery did not disappoint.

Another nice feature were the many TV sets tuned to all the NFL games and the angles were perfect. Any game we wanted to watch were in eye shot.

After getting seated, the place was packed, but we only waited about 20 minutes, I ordered the Chicken Parmigiana with a side of spaghetti. Toasted garlic bread was also part of the meal.The chicken was excellent, hot, juicy, spicy, and a hearty portion. The spaghetti, supposedly a side order, was huge and delicious. The garlic bread was hot and sealed the deal. The entire meal was almost perfect, including the service, which was fast, courteous, and correct.

The price was very reasonable, around 18 dollars without tip. The Grassy Knoll Institute awards 4.5 shots out of 5 and recommends Smoky Mountain Brewery for dinner.

PS: This is also the restaurant where I stapled up my dollar bill with my LOTGK logo enblazoned on it.

Gatlinburg Brewery Cheeseburger

The Brewery, Gatlinburg, TN

While staying in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, another great place to eat is "The Brewery" found right on the Parkway, the main drag of Gatlinburg. This place sells every kind of beer imaginable. It is also a sportsmen delight as TV's are viewable from every seat in the house.

I ordered the bacon cheeseburger with fries for the entree and for an appetizer, Hot Sam Pretzels with hot beer cheese sauce for dipping. When the pretzels came out, I was amazed. I figured they would be bite size. I was not expecting full size pretzels. Let me tell you, they were delicious.

Now, to the entree. The cheeseburger was excellent. Cooked just right. Tasty, juicy, and hot. The bun was buttered and toasted to a light golden brown. The bacon was cooked, not soggy, and the cheese was melted. The fries were good, crunchy, hot and plentiful.

The service was quick, friendly, and correct.

The cost, again being in a resort town, was quite inexpensive, as I again walked away under $15 dollars before tip.

The Grassy Knoll Institute rates 4.75 out of 5 shots and recommends The Brewery.
