    7 layer cake
    Candice S.

    The vibe is warm and welcoming. We were quickly seated. Drinks, appetizer and dinner was ordered. The fried green tomatoes were great. The problem came with our entree. After 30 minutes from when our appetizer arrived we had still not received our main dishes. Waitress casually came by and said she didn't know what was going on with the kitchen, but that they would be out soon. All around us customers were seated, eating and leaving. After another 5 minutes I contacted a manager to check on our order. Turns out the waitress forgot to put our order in. The manager was extremely kind and apologetic.

    Salmon Waldorf salad
    Makenzie B.

    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

    Pepperoni flatbread

    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.

    Food is so so but the ambiance is good and the restaurant is nice . This restaurant would not be my first choice if I ever came agian but I had worst for sure

    fish and chips

    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.

    Service was amazing, James did an amazing job serving us! I highly recommend the steak if you like ribeye

    Regular ribeye, Medium Rare with chimichurri butter and Mac n cheese!

    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!

    Citrus Chicken Salad (minus the chicken)

    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!

    Caesar salad
    KaSea C.

    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.

    Our waiter Blaine was so nice. The steak wasn't bad, a little tough, and the seasonal mojito was delicious.

    Of the 5 night we were in town, we visited The Appalachian 3 times - not just for the quality of…read morethe food, but also for the quality of the people. From ensuring they source fresh, seasonal ingredients to creating a welcoming atmosphere, it's obvious that everything is done with passion and attention to detail. The night we came in for dinner, we had the joy of having Mariah as our server. We had the fried chicken skins, the à la carte ribeye and sirloin, mashed potatoes, broccolini, and summer squash, and then the cobbler for dessert. The drinks were strong pours, everything was seasoned perfectly, and the service was impeccable. Another night, we came in for drinks and dessert and had the goat cheese cheesecake and Pots de Crème. If you're looking for a restaurant that's the perfect combination of great food and great vibes, this is absolutely it.

First off, the restaurant is truly stunning! Service was excellent too. We started with the Fried Chicken Skins. My friend had heard good things for a friend, but we weren't particularly impressed. I had the Hanger Steak as my entree, and it was delicious. I especially loved the potato dumplings! My friend had the Kansas City Strip, cooked medium rare, with broccolini. Initially, the steak was overcooked, but the staff quickly cooked another steak and made it right. Overall a really good experience! Downtown Sevierville has really evolved, and we enjoyed walking around and exploring after dinner.

    We went for lunch today and I must say the service has gone down hill…read more The server did the best she could as she was waiting on other tables and one was giving her a hard time. We ordered the wild west shrimp as an appetizer, burger, chicken sandwich and chicken salad . It took over 20 minutes to get the food as the server apologized as said they had one line cook. We finally got our food but no appetizer. The burger and chicken sandwich was fine. The chicken salad was missing feta cheese and we had asked for dressing on the side but it poured out all over the salad. We had to get up and find someone to help us as again our server was dealing with a problem table. We finally got an employee as they had 3 coming in to work but when they saw us trying to get their attention ran to the back. We finally did get a server who was like they are working on your shrimp, and they asked well how did they screw up your salad? We said there were items missing and the dressing was poured out all over the salad. We did have a server bring us the shrimp and said I will have the manager take this off. When we got the bill, I guess she never told the manager to take it off as it was still on the bill. We explained to our server who apologized and had it fixed. I was shocked though no manager was ever seen on the floor and typically in most restaurants if there is a problem a manager would come out and explain or apologize. I guess this manager was too busy. Just be warned on the service and the amount of time it will take for lunch as we were there an hour and 45 minutes.
