We stopped in here after hiking at Burgess Falls. My guess is most of their business is from…read moretourists coming from the park back to the interstate. The sign says they're open from 10am-7pm during April-October. We stopped in to see if they had any local goodies. It looks like their produce is within 80 miles of the store, they didn't have a huge selection, but we did stop in during the first of May and that might've been why. They had a a couple tomatoes, some squash & zucchini & strawberries, but that was about it. They've got different jams, flour mixes for baking & cook books. We bought a jar of peach salsa. I'm looking forward to trying it. They advertise that they've got Blue Bell ice cream, but with the listeria outbreak, I'm not sure what kind they're serving. The teenage boy working the register wasn't very friendly but I wouldn't be either if I was stuck working on such a beautiful day.

They also carry fresh garlic and loads of spices, rubs, bbq sauces, soups, salsas, finishing salts, hot sauces and the like.

(This was the previous location of Bubba's BBQ.)

I didn't have any food, but my friend and I both got coffee. I loved my drink, although my friend wasn't crazy about her drink, the salted caramel frap. The staff (and owner I think) were super friendly and seemed like a fun group. I would definitely stop again.

I was an ice cream maker in a small family run business when I was in high school. I'd like to…read morethink that I know good quality frozen confections when I taste them. The Custard Cabin offers fine quality desserts that should please anyone. Certainly the quality that you receive comes at a cost- there is no getting around it. Food (and dessert especially) products can either be cheap or good- you generally can only pick one. If you are price sensitive, there are other lower quality options available elsewhere. Kids generally don't know the difference and some times don't finish what they are given- so I can understand why parents might be price sensitive. Be forewarned if your offspring are as described. Having said that, if you are an adult with a reasonably refined taste for frozen desserts, you'll understand where that extra money spent at Custard Cabin went. It is true that they generally have 1-2 "flavors of the day" plus the standby vanilla and chocolate, but they have frozen pints and quarts usually in many flavors to go. You may want to consider the frozen pint/quart option if the flavor of the day just doesn't do it for you. Sometimes they run out of vanilla and/or chocolate close to closing time. You may want to call ahead if your heart is set on the old standbys.

Leslie's is the only bakery I've ever seen that is gluten free, dairy free, and oat free. Even…read moregluten-free products can cause issues with many of us because of the oat substitute. But you won't have that problem at Leslie's! This is a baked goods haven for those of us suffering from food allergies! The pastry chef Leslie, facing her own battles with allergies, has created an extensive display of pies, cookies, and other baked goods! Realistically, the treats are probably a solid 4.3 to 4.5 compared to the absolute best bakeries I've tried in New York and Paris. But removing those ridiculously high standards and considering the gluten-free status of all these treats, yeah, it's a five-star eatery for sure! It's hard to believe something devoid of gluten and dairy could be so good! It's almost surreal to be driving through the rural countryside of Tennessee to find this charming little roadside stop! In fact, Leslie is a true American pioneer of the gluten-free movement!

Cute little bakery…read more Owner sociable and hard at work baking for those w a sweet tooth. I got a Rose geranium pound cake which was ok ..dry..maybe would be better steamed.
