    wagu burger w bacon

    5 Stars - A Must-Stop in Townsend! We traveled down to Townsend, TN from Cincinnati, OH with Dazie, our 1954 CHEV 3100 truck, for the Smoky Mountain Nationals 2025 and stumbled upon Apple Valley Mountain Village & Café--and we're so glad we did! From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed. The weather was damp and chilly, but the food here brought the warmth we needed. I had the chili and cornbread--spicy, hearty, and just the right kind of comfort food for a mountain day. Our son, whose appetite is the stuff of legend, devoured the Wagyu Beef Burger with a side of twisty fries--both top notch. And let's talk about the highlight: the Apple Pie Pocket. Hot, flavorful, and absolutely unforgettable. We joked we could live off of those all weekend (and we meant it). One of our favorite quirky touches? Caroline the Condiment Cow. Yes, she exists. And yes, she made us smile. This place has character, heart, and great food. It's now officially Dazie Approved. We'll be back!

    Great experience here! Top notch service with friendly staff. I had to change my daughter's diaper here and there was a changing table for me to use in the bathroom (not at every place unfortunately). The prices were extremely reasonable. Food tasted fresh and not too heavy. Wish it wasn't our last day or else I would be running back for another meal!

    Really good little cafe. Our visit was for lunch, and hubby enjoyed a great burger while I enjoyed a yummy chicken salad sandwich. Hubby got sidewinder fries, puffy potato small wedges that are crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside. My sandwich was served on grilled sourdough, and it was a large sandwich stuffed full. Complex has a cute general store to browse afterwards and a sporting goods store adjacent. Definitely worth a stop in charming Townsend!

    Peanut and Cashew loved their visit to the Apple Valley Cafe in Townsend today! The staff was so friendly and gave them water and pup cups, turned on the heaters so they'd be warm, and shared their own stories and photos of their pets at home! 5 separate employees came out to say hi to them. A+ celebrity treatment. Also the food was fantastic! Their humans had the chicken salad salad and the chili bowl which were both delicious. Everyone was really friendly and helpful.

    We stopped by this place on the back way to Dollywood and it was super cute! It was nice stop in an otherwise rural area to find a restaurant, store and ice cream shop. I got a sandwich but the star of the show was their curly fries. They were delicious.

    You walk in and place your order at the counter , they give you a number and bring your order out to you. Drinks and coffee are self serve. Food was ok. The biscuits were nice and fluffy but everything else was about "fast food" quality. Employee was nice and it's very clean. Sausage gravy tasted like nothing but flour. Paid $21.00 for 1 biscuit and gravy, a bacon egg and cheese biscuit and 2 drinks. Prices are high for some things and super low for others. They have a little seating inside and quite a bit of seating outside.

    Really good burger and pork sliders. Friendly and helpful staff. Grabbed a couple of slices of cheesecake to take home - it was pretty good as well.

I got the…read morehalf order of biscuits and gravy, it was perfectly seasoned with a little bit of spice and the biscuit was fluffy and perfect- I could eat 10. I got the coconut refresher, not too sweet and still had caffeine. They have topo Chico, my favorite sparkling water, so they got bonus points for that. They have a pastry window(?) that had a decadent looking, huge, slice of blueberry coffee cake and a cheesecake I would have tried if I was in the mood for sweets. I saw a couple enjoying it and letting the staff know the coffee was delicious. The tables are spacious, there were only around 6 people when I went and the atmosphere made it easy to ignore the other people and write this. But other "strangers" began conversations so it is still inviting. The music is acoustical versions of modern songs. I saw a staff cleaning the counters around the place while I ate so they definitely keep it clean. The gentleman who took my order was friendly and not overbearing. Overall perfect place to sit and read on my break from a gloomy day. Only note would be that I wanted my food for here and they made it to go.

    Coffee? Delicious! Biscuit breakfast sandwich? Delicious!…read moreBuuuut what really made me love this place was the friendliness of the people working. I actually went on two different days, one to get breakfast and coffee and another day just for coffee. Both days the place was slammed, but everyone working was still so pleasant and kind. The place itself is cute and clean.
