Found this little country store while in the area. Was looking for "something off the beaten path"…read moreto eat and got it. Was honestly a bit skeptical at first because this place doesn't have good signage at the road, so I thought maybe I was trespassing. I was wrong. A friendly woman greeted us upon entering and showed us what was available for the day. Very few choices, but I didn't mind what felt like a home cooked meal. I had the meatloaf w/ mashed potatoes and green beans. Absolutely delicious. The chickens running around outside and the cute farm cat were entertaining. And I was able to pick up Cruze Farm milk too! Yes, please! Glad I gave this place a chance. The reviews speak for themselves.

I will have to order a plate the next time I'm in the area because their mac & cheese looked delicious! I purchased beef skirt and jalapeño sausage. I made fajitas with the beef skirt and the meat was of excellent quality! I will be visiting them again to purchase more meat. Everyone working was polite and greeted me with a smile. And, even suggested ways to cook the beef skirt.

Step back in time to the 1980s! If you love pure nostalgia, you might enjoy this place, but keep…read moreyour expectations in check. Regular tickets are a reasonable $10, but the experience has major drawbacks. Concessions are expensive--when they're actually in stock. We wanted a pretzel ($7) and a slushie ($7.50), but both were out of stock, so we settled for a $7 soda. As for the seating, don't believe the Facebook hype claiming they're comfy; they are authentic, hard 80s/90s theater seats with zero cushion and no recline. Tip: Dress warmly in long pants and a sweatshirt because it is freezing inside, and the screen is notably dark. While locals praise recent "renovations," a quick search shows those updates only covered counters, popcorn/soda machines, bathrooms, projector servers, and arcade games--the old seats were left untouched. If you want modern, reclining luxury, you'll need to drive to Kingsport or Sevierville, but supporting this spot keeps your money local.

This is a model railroad museum and hangout for the local old guys who're into model railroading…read more They also have a few bits and pieces of real railroad memorabilia on display, and a few novelty items and kids toys for sale. It's more like a hobby club where they let the public in to have a look. Entrance was free, with a voluntary donation box by the door when we were there. If you're in the area, then it's worth a look, but I wouldn't make this the sole focus of your trip, unless perhaps, you're a model railroad enthusiast. Combine this with a visit to the nearby Archie Campbell museum and childhood home (two separate attractions) for a day out.

I do wish there was more information on the tasting sheet about what grapes were used in each of the wines or at least some tasting notes. The ladies working were nice but they just poured the wine and gave me the name of it. I would have liked to know just a bit more. I did end up having a glass of wine and I also bought a bottle and some cheese to take home.

We were welcome by the owner (found that out later) where we were offered a sampling flight. Served by a young lady (wish I remembered her name because she was great) who explained each sample and where the grapes came from. The wine is delicious and tastes very pure. It was a lovely fall day. We sat out on the patio and shared the cheese and meat board plus the spinach artichoke dip. Gluten free was an added bonus for our celiac friend. Meat and cheese board was good but it's not fancy. No special cheese or meats and grocery store crackers. Loved it...just be prepared. So happy we made the trip from Andersonville. Definitely will be back!

He was also a recording artist with several hits for RCA Victor in the 1960s Later, he went on to do television work, and most notably, was a star of "Hee Haw", a 1970s country-flavored network television variety show. This museum, dedicated to his memory, is a rather tired collection of old records, newspaper cuttings, posters and a few personal items that belonged to Archie Campbell. Along the street, is the small house he grew up in, which you can also tour the inside of. Worth seeing if you're in the area and are old enough to remember who he was, or just curious, but unless you're a huge fan, I wouldn't make this the sole focus of your trip. Combine this with a visit to the nearby Bulls Gap (Model) Railroad Museum for a day out. Entry to both museums and the house is free, with voluntary donation boxes in both museums. Archie is buried in Glenwood Baptist Church cemetery in Powell, Tennessee, just north of Knoxville, where you can find his grave.
