Apple Barn, Sevierville. Tn

This is another place I try to get to whenever I am in the area. It is more than just a restaurant. There us a winery, a candy shop and a cider mill on the property. The fried apple pies are excellent, as is the cider. I brought some of both home with me. My meal was chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and collards. The steak looked a little overcooked, but t was pretty good. Tender enough to cut with a fork. The potatoes were real, not powdered. Still had some lumps, which I enjoyed. The greens were just so so. The meal also included a cup of soup, I had the broccoli cheese. And a beignet with some of their apple butter. It was good. Worth a stop if you are in the area.

I think I’ve eaten there, but it has been too many years ago to be sure of my memory.

Whenever we head south to the coast or Florida, we're always on 75. I think we need to make a stop this year, enjoy ourselves for a day or so in Sevierville, and try some local food.

Thanks for the tips!

It is a little ways off 75, towards Ashville on I40 east. And be ready for traffic, it can be brutal. But I enjoy it. If you can stay a few days, check out Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede dinner theater in Pigeon Forge. It is a blast. I have been 3 times. But I'll warn you again about traffic. Especially on weekends.

klflowers literally just checked our "proposed destination" for this years' Florida trip. It's taking us via Rt. 77 this time... Go figure. It will save us an hour, but I'm already bummed...
