We had a good experience. Atmosphere is cool: dark, brick, just the right splash of decorations and lights to be classy without being kitsch. Food was good. I would not recommend the milkshake from the kids' menu; it wasn't made with ice cream, but rather with cream and chipped ice. Didn't taste terribly good or rich. Everything else was great. Service was good. We were in a large party, so several of our items came out wrong, but the server, James, was very courteous, laughed it off (in a good way), and had it all fixed within five minutes. Wasn't an absolutely over-the-top experience, but it was a good one, and I would recommend it. Worth stopping by. read more

Man I really enjoy this place. Yet today has put a bad taste in my mouth. Call to make a reservation and even spoke to the male James in his purple button down host after being hung up on by someone else in the restaurant in order to get on their "wait list". I provided all my information to the host James and confirmed my time of arrival and when to be expected as we had a party of 9 and their website would not allow us to reserve or wait with any party above 8. Upon arrival 10 minutes early. We were fed some bogus misleading explanation on the difference between a reservation and wait list by the host aka Manager In Training James or Jimmy, while taking our information again. The incompetence and service of the James was horrible. Change jobs you are horrible as a host finding out hes the manager in training makes it worse. He had the kitchen manager Drew come out to speak with me and he was very understanding. James or Jimmy you are a bad manager in training. Kitchen manager Drew even recalled us making the reservation and James could not own up to the fact he didn't do his job as he said over the phone you'd take care of us. During our wait and visit after becoming verbally irrate with me and securing an actual manager. He avoided us. James or Jimmy the purple shirt, the manager in training, has by far the worst customer service. Kitchen manager Drew, great and friendly guy. Willing to listen and we're willing to wait as long as you dont lie to me like Jimmy or James will. read more

Service was great. Buddys wife had a margarita from the bar and said it was worst she has ever had. Food was decent. Our waiter was really good. Unfortunately we were not impressed with the products he delivered. read more

Food was decent - I ordered the salmon Waldorf salad and it was a 7/10, the apples seemed to be soaking in lemon juice at some point which I get, but it was overwhelming. My husband got a smash burger with "fries". It has zero flavor. Price was reasonable and service was mid. Our server didn't really talk, but he kept water full read more

We came here and it was about a 30 minute wait so we just sat at the bar and ate which was great. The service was good and the vibe was super chill surprisingly based on the outside. You can join the waitlist online which is a very convenient feature. Everything here was pretty good. The ranchero flatbread was delicious. The pepperoni was good but smaller pepperonis would be nice, it'd be nice not to take a bite and pull all the toppings off. The Mac and cheese I must say left much to be desired, it was just bland. The raspberry vinaigrette was a little sweet for my taste it definitely gave more syrup than vinaigrette vibes but that's just my opinion. read more

Let's start with the housekeeping. The bathrooms are clean. The dining area is very clean. The staff is super friendly. We sat outside on a beautiful afternoon for lunch. We had a server who provided a lot of dining options and was very attentive. My colleague chose the chicken and biscuits. The comment was they were very good. I went with the servers recommendation of fish and chips. Let's start by saying they give you plenty of food. The fish was quite good. It was cod. It was fried but not overly so. You get a ton of french fries and coleslaw. The coleslaw and fries were very good. The fries were not at all greasy. They have their own house made tartar sauce, which I found different but very good. Strong recommendation for the sweet tea as well. There are lots of lunch choices to eat either inside or outside. read more

Came by for lunch, was highly pleased. The menu is simple but from what I can tell it's all scratch and amazing. The wife had the open faced roast beef which was huge and tasted fresh. I had the chopped steak which is a simple dish but can be ruined very easily, mine was amazing. Our server Josh was courteous and on point (came by to check up on us twice) In conclusion Holston did not disappoint Will be back and highly recommend. Josh told us about prime rib Wednesday, but also said they run out in a couple hours for dinner, dinner starts at 4pm. Ambience was a nice mix of bar and kinda formal. Might just become a new go to for lunch and dinner !! read more

Wish I could give more stars!!! Food was AMAZING! We put ourselves on the waitlist before we left our cabin because it said 30-45 min wait so I also suggest doing that, once we got to the host stand and checked in we only waited 10 min! We aren't from the area so we asked our lovely server what they're known for & she told us steaks are great which was a what we were looking at. Were steak snobs so we were skeptical at first due to the wide variety of food on their menu. Needless to say we were HIGHLY impressed especially for the price! Wife got the Hawaiian ribeye medium rare with Mac n cheese! AMAZING flavor! I got the regular ribeye medium rare with Mac n cheese and a house salad with the poppy seed vinaigrette! When I tell you I want that dressing bottled for my house I'm not joking! It's so damn good! Our server Cassidy was personable, quick and knowledgeable. Her honesty about menu items was my favorite part. The atmosphere was perfectly lit, busy and not too loud! read more

Wow we love this place! We sat at the bar with Melissa as the bartender. She was so friendly and made great recommendations. The restaurant was so clean, decorated nicely and a cozy ambiance that also felt high end. The food was amazing! And came out perfectly timed with appetizers. We met some locals who said they actually know Dolly. We felt right at home and will definitely be back! I highly recommend this place. Great prices too! read more

Holston's has long been one of our favorites, and we've enjoyed many memorable meals. That's why this takeout experience stood out--in a less-than-great way. We ordered the fried mozzarella appetizer for $9.99, and while we understand prices can vary, the portion felt underwhelming with just four pieces. As you'll see in the photo, the presentation didn't quite match the value. A smaller container or a bit more attention to visual appeal might help the dish feel more inviting, especially for takeout. We're hoping this was just a rare misstep--still rooting for Holston's to keep up the quality we've come to love! read more

This review is a mixed bag of thoughts. Nice, quiet place with relaxed atmosphere. We had the brisket egg rolls, they are soft and mushy not crisp at all. For the table we had Caesar salads with lite dressing, it was Caesar soup, completely drowned. Did not eat. The potato soup is a cup of grainy mashed potatoes, the texture was off putting. The kids Alfredo was also so saucy it was soup. The redeeming plate was the short rib melt and grits, both were delish. The service wasn't impressive either. Our young fella was not interested in listening to our requests (i.e. lite dressing). Don't be in a rush to leave the table, pace yourself. Overall, I wouldn't come back. read more

I was excited to try this restaurant but was let down by the experience. I had the steak & it was not a very good steak (poor cut of meat & no seasoning). To put it in perspective, I had a much better steak at Joe's Crab Shack the next night. The loaded potato soup was good though! Our waitress was also taking care of the bar, and she didn't give great service. I also felt like we were bothering her if we asked for anything. Idk, too many other restaurants in the area for me to try this one again soon. read more

rotisserie chicken is amazing! the meatloaf is also great! I love this place. The tavern peppers appetizer is off the chain also! I definitely recommend this place. read more

One of the most popular lunch and dinner spots in Sevierville. Food is excellent and service is some of the best in the city. Casual atmosphere but dim light makes it cozy. One of my favorites and the fajitas are always a popular choice. read more

Holston's is a reliable spot for a good meal in Sevierville. The steaks are always cooked right, portions are generous, and the service is friendly even when it's busy. The rolls and butter are addictive, and the prices are fair for the quality. Easy place to recommend. read more

Service is excellent. However, 2 of our party of four ordered the prime rib and neither was happy with it. Tough as leather and didn't look like the prime rib we are used to eating. We generally like the food here but we won't be ordering prime rib again. read more

This place is really starting to grow on me, was a bit hit and miss before, but they've really up their game with both the service and attention of the wait staff, and a new updated food menu. The potato soup I had was amazing no lumps of potato just smooth and creamy, the shepherds pie was really shepherds pie being made with ground lamb not the usual beef as other places make. It comes with a crunchy filo pastry that really makes it stand out. Will definitely be back for more. read more

Not the best food both dishes we got was disappointing... fries were good. But the waitress took a while to come over. Nice set up .. they put more into the ambiance than the food. read more

It's my first time here and it was AMAZING! My fiancé enjoyed their bourbon selection and I enjoyed a frozen margarita! We got the spinach and artichoke dip as an appetizer, which was amazing! The bread bowl was a great touch! I had the Hawaiian chicken and glazed carrots and my fiancé got the ribeye with a baked potato. We both enjoyed our entrees! The service was amazing! Our waiter was attentive and very polite! The atmosphere is relaxing and elevated. It felt like a nice steakhouse. Great place for a date night! read more

Steak was thin and overcooked sent it back the next one was cooked properly however had gristle. Fajitas were delicious. My husband ordered the steak and said it didn't even taste good. So we won't be back. Also the waitress Camilla wasn't friendly I'm glad I looked at the receipt because they charged us for two steaks. She didn't apologize for anything. read more

Found this place on yelp! Great menu, wide variety for any taste. Had the scampi, prepared well with slivers of almonds, yum! Wife had filet, cooked to her desire. Tender. Was busy but handled like a champ! Highly recommend. read more

Service was fast and friendly ribs were dry and overlooked side dish was cold. Overall I would try again my wife's food was good.

One of our go to meals when we come to pigeon forge or vacation. Food is always great. The service is great also very friendly.

Some friends and I stopped into have lunch at this restaurant. We were visiting from out of town and they're celebrating one of my friends birthday. The restaurant is very nice on the outside, and when you got inside, the lighting was very moody in a good way, it felt like a, nice upscale restaurant but with a cabin twist. Our waitress was absolutely amazing. We all had a lot of questions since we had never been before and she gave us some great recommendations. Almost everyone got the whiskey Bent burger except one person and they got the teriyaki ribeye. I myself kept going back-and-forth between the ribeye and the burger, but decided since it was the afternoon I didn't want to eat super heavy and have a ribeye. The food is a decent price. Right in the middle wasn't too expensive at all. They even surprised my friend with this large piece of chocolate cake for her birthday that we all got to share. If I'm ever back in this area, I would definitely go to this restaurant again. read more

Came here after going to Smokey Mountains light show. If you want to go somewhere for a family vibe and no high standards for your meal then this is the place to be. Our server was alright; she had no personality and my husband's drink took 15-20 minutes to get to the table and he had to remind her he ordered a drink. She also never came around to fill our waters or ask us about our meal. I ordered the chicken parm with fettuccine Alfredo. The Alfredo was bland. I ordered a side of mashed potatoes for my 14 month old. Also bland. Husband liked his steak and loaded potato and my FIL enjoyed his Shepard's pie. Would I return? Eh, only if the rest of my party wanted to dine. read more

I had heard wonderful things about this place. I was excited to try it and see for myself. Unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations. The service was very poor. Our server seemed to be extremely busy, which is understandable but she was not the most attentive, and it felt as though it was too much to ask for a refill, order an app, anything. The food was extremely underwhelming. The filet was not a good cut of meet, under seasoned. The pricing of the restaurant wasn't high so perhaps take with that what you will. The ambience of the restaurant led me to have higher hopes for the quality of the restaurant. Will not be back. read more

Food was wonderful and so was the service. We were a little disappointed that sweet potato fries are no longer available, hopefully they will bring them back. The chicken parmesan was, in my opinion, better than Olive Garden. Stephanie was our server and she was awesome, very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back (even without the sweet potato fries) read more

Pass. We stopped at Holstons because everything else was slammed at 5 on a Saturday. That should have been a clue but I just thought that we got lucky since this isn't near everything else. I was wrong. Being from Indianapolis I had no idea what a Holstons was. It gives Johnny Cariños meets O'Charleys as far as food goes but does have a nice atmosphere. I ordered the pesto pasta and it was so bland I needed up adding another 2-3 tsp with of pepper to it just to be able to eat it. The kiddo had salmon and it was okay. Hubby ordered the friend shrimp and it was 50/50 breading to shrimp ratio and super salty. Our waiter, bless his heart, seemed like it was his first night working. He didn't know where anything was, took forever, and couldn't answer any questions we had by himself about the menu. We will not go back to Holstons for future visits to TN. read more

Since wait time was only a hour and they accepted reservations, we decided to give them a try. The waitress was very accommodating and our food was served fairly quickly. Our party ate hamburger steak, steak filet, ribeye, shrimp scampi, and the barbecue platter. We were all very pleased with our meal except for the shrimp scampi! The seasoning on the scampi left a lot to be desired. The hamburger steak was seasoned very well but was a little small for an average man. But the barbecue platter was on point. The dining area was large, so our large party were able to all sit together. Sorry forgot to take pics! Will post some next visit. read more

Food and service was good. The decor was awesome. The staff was friendly! We would come back if in the area.

My husband and I came here yesterday for lunch in celebration of my husbands birthday ! Neither of us were impressed with either of our meals ! Husband ordered the steak and he ordered medium rare and his steak was alittle chewy - could of been more tender and full of flavor which it lacked , I ordered the chicken broccoli Alfredo and the broccoli was mostly stems Infact I make a better Alfredo sauce at home ! The only reason I am giving two stars is because our waitress was good - do I recommend? Absolutely not ! So many choices in Morristown and we won't be back ! read more

Holston's Kitchen is home to not only some of the worst service in the area, it is also the home of some of the laziest and foul tasting food in the area. We will get to that, let's start with the service: For some reason we had two waiters though there was only a few other tables, the main server heckled everybody at the table about their ID's (we are originally from Texas, moved here a year ago) to the point our veteran father was denied alcohol outright, and when we finally got our drinks they had absolutely zero alcohol in them at all. Just club soda, mint, and blueberry. No alcohol in the alcoholic beverages ordered. The server was unfriendly and only came by my table to deliver food while we watched him check on the table behind us multiple times throughout their meal. Literally dropping plates of food in front of guests and walking away like we weren't even there. Now we can talk about the "food." The "smash" burgers were unbelievably dry and contained brisket hard enough to chip a tooth it was nigh inedible. Out of every shrimp scampi I've tried this had to have been one of the worst, from the smell emanating from the plate it was on to the almost quarter inch thick layer of just butter in the bowl it was not great I daresay red lobster has better shrimp scampi and that's rough for me to say. The chicken fettuccine was seemingly alright as my little brother described it as "tasting just like grandmas frozen dinners!" The biggest tragedy was the "sour cream & chile con queso" enchiladas that were served with absolutely zero form of sour cream and, instead, came topped with literal velveeta cheese. Not an imitation not something trying to be fancy and failing, but actual velveeta cheese on my enchiladas and it was honestly terrible to the point I only ate the chicken from my enchiladas and nothing on the plate. In a restaurant that claims to be higher class than McDonald's, I've never been served beans as dry and tasteless as the ones here at holstons! The rice was not quite inedible but it was almost certainly boxed rice with no care or thought put into the preparation. The rice was simply orange slop on a plate situated next to a block of velveeta cheese and beans dry enough make you need more than one glass of water (which you will not receive unless you're lucky) or an actual drink to wash it down (which you will also not receive). Overall holstons appears to be a nice restaurant but after eating there once, I can tell it is certainly not all it is cracked up to be in the slightest. Maybe other food from here is better but I don't know if I'll ever come to find out. read more

We went before it had such good reviews, but we were very disappointed in the quality of food. My mom had the chicken fried steak and it was so salty she couldn't eat it, even the mash potatoes were very salty. I ordered the shrimp and flounder, it absolutely no flavor because there was no seasoning. The side of broccoli also had no seasoning. The best part of my dish was the rice. Our server was very good and the ambience was very nice. read more

I've driven past this place multiple times over the years, but never stopped to try it out. This time I happened to be staying in a hotel close by so we stopped in. We only had to wait about 15 minutes on a table. The restaurant was pretty busy for a Tuesday night. We were seated and our server took our drink order within just a few moments and gave us time to check out the menu. I ordered the ribeye with a house salad & baked sweet potato. My brother ordered the deluxe chicken sandwich with fries. Our food took a while to come out. Our server checked on us a couple times and asked if there was anything we needed. Unfortunately there was little we needed until we got our food. The atmosphere in the restaurant was quite loud. I had a hard time hearing the server and I think the opposite was true as well. I did receive my salad and was able to finish it before the rest of the food arrived. My brother said his chicken sandwich was really good and the fries were fine. I didn't get a picture of his sandwich but it was kind of sad looking. I'm not sure what I think needed done to make a chicken sandwich look more appealing, but it tasted good and that's more important. My sweet potato came with butter, brown sugar & cinnamon and it was excellent. Wish I could say the same for the steak. While it was cooked perfectly (I ordered medium) and was very juicy, it just had no flavor. I had to ask for steak sauce to make it tastier. If my steak had good flavor and this wasn't in tourist area where there's so many other restaurants to choose from, I would probably give this place another chance. Overall, it was good, just not outstanding. I'd still recommend others give it a chance if they're in the area since the only thing that was subpar for me was the flavor of the steak. Hopefully that was just a one off. read more
