    Fried green tomatoes
    Shannon J.

    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

    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
    Alyssa H.

    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.

    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.

    Brisket smash burger
    Cori B.

    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!

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

    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)
    Joy G.

    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.

    Spinach Artichoke Dip

    The food and service was amazing!! For my appetizer I got the spinach dip and bang bang shrimp and for dinner I got the fettuccine Alfredo so good!! My server was Audrey. Audrey is kind caring and hardworking. Thank you Audrey

    Southwest salad sub with salmon and smash burger.

    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.

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

    Great service and even better food. You couldn't ask for a better dinner! It is a little off the beaten path but well worth the drive.

    Buddy's Bar-B-Q - Sevierville - Locally loved bbq!

    Buddy's Bar-B-Q - Sevierville

    After craving some local barbecue, we ended up at Buddy's Bar-B-Q-Sevierville. We initially thought…read moreit was a one-off spot, only to discover it's part of a local chain. We went with the Trio Dinner (pork, chicken and ribs) with sides of baked beans and fries, and a Chicken Dinner with baked beans and slaw. The barbecue was reminiscent of what we get back in Texas, with a slight flavor twist--more Tex-Mex at home versus the more straightforward, classic Tennessee-style here. Honestly, there was nothing extraordinary about it--it's what you'd expect from a fast casual barbecue place. It wasn't bad, but we were hoping for something more unique or special, given that we're in Tennessee. It filled us up for a late lunch, but probably won't make a return visit. What really stood out, though, was the warm lady behind the counter. Her genuine Southern hospitality made all the difference here worth the 3-star rating. That's about it--nothing more to add. We'll leave it at that.

    Hubby picked up food to go last evening and he said he was going to Buddy's…read more So I texted him a list of what to get. And he was to pick me up, and go to his mom's house for a picnic! He got 2 lbs of ribs, 1lb of pulled pork, bbq sauce, large order hush puppies, 3 large fries, qt of Cole slaw and a qt., of green beans. We enjoyed it all, and left some for mom for today, and another meal for hubby and me!!! Buddy's is good always, the staff are spot on! And it's always packaged well.
