"You wanna do what?" she said, smiling in the fading light of a cool July evening. "I'd...uh, I kinda wanna see what Andrews is like on a Friday night." She rolled her eyes. "It's almost 9pm, let's just go back to the cabin." "It's a dry county," I pointed out, "We can't even pick up a bottle of wine on the way there. Let's go to Andrews, hit a bar, and grab some of that Bootlegger stuff we saw that meth head buying in Franklin today." So, we drove a foggy half hour into Andrews, bought some lemonade flavored Bootlegger and Arizona sweet tea to make John Dalys, and I got two fingers of Glenfiddich and shot the sh*t with some locals. Pretty good Friday night.

They have a great selection of craft beers, imports and both red and white wines, including champagne and prosecco for the celebration in your glass. The real draw to this place is the private patio that has the peaceful river running the length of the restaurant. They have some higher end entrees of filets, and also pizza salads, burgers, and wings and even food for the kiddos. If you make it through Cades Cove or finish up a nearby hike or river rafting in Townsend this is a nice relaxing finish to the day. Great space for catching up with friends for patio pints and looks to be pet friendly as well. So bring your dog and your fun out to enjoy the Abbey.

We had to start out with Say What??? (fried deviled eggs with bacon jam). They were very tasty and…read morethe bacon jam on top was the perfect topper. My husband and I split the peanut crusted trout and the pecan pear salad. Portions were generous and we were both stuffed. The trout was phenomenal...very twnder and tasty! Paired with brussel sprouts which had a great flavor and extra tasty (especially when you dipped them in the sauce from the trout). The Pecan pear salad was really good! Very generous with all the goodies (pecans and raisins) and lightly dressed. Michael was great and kept us well taken care of. We will definitely be back the next time we come through!! (We dug into the deviled eggs before I could snap a picture, but I managed to get a few.)

Don't go past the light, or you'll miss it. Suggested to us by a local, we nestled up to the bar surrounding by who else, locals. This turned from trying something new to an episode of Cheers super fast! We laughed, and conversed, and had a good time to the extent we were really juggling whether to stay the night. But back to Asheville we needed to go. If you're in Cherokee anytime soon, definitely carve out some time for this cool little spot. Good, well-made, bar food. Awesome tasting beers and seltzers on tap. We'll be back to see our friends here!

We chose to sit at the bar. Our bartender was friendly. They don't serve liquor, but had a good variety of beers. I tried a breakfast stout which I liked and my bf got an agave sour. We decided to order some pretzel bites and beer cheese as a snack which came out pretty quickly. The pretzel bites were on the dry side in my opinion. I liked the beer cheese. It was different than others I've had and almost gave a queso vibe with the flavor profile, but it was good. We decided to venture elsewhere after our round and bites as we wanted something a little more lively. Overall, Parson's is a decent spot to relax and enjoy some drinks and food. I'd return again to try other menu items if in the area.

This place doesn't just serve food--they serve comfort, craftsmanship, and enough smoky goodness to make you wonder why you ever ate anywhere else. The star of my visit? The fried honey BBQ ribs. Good grief. These things should come with a warning label because once you take that first bite--crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and coated in that sticky-sweet honey BBQ magic--you're officially ruined for all other ribs. They're the kind of ribs that make you pause mid-bite just to appreciate what's happening. Absolute perfection. The service was exceptional from the greeter that welcomed us when we walked in to our server (Paige). Everything else followed suit: hearty portions, rich smoky flavor throughout, and sides that taste like they came straight from someone's grandma's kitchen. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere cozy, and the whole experience felt like a hug delivered through barbecue. If you're looking for a place that feels authentic, delicious, and memorable, Haywood Smokehouse deserves a spot at the top of your list. And seriously--don't leave without getting those fried honey BBQ ribs. You'll be thinking about them long after the plate is empty.
