    We used to frequent about once a week this week. The food was not so great. It just was off from what it normally is.

    While my sister and I were staying in Tennessee, a snowstorm had shut down several restaurants. I…read morehadn't eaten at Red Lobster in a long time, so we decided to go there. Because of the storm, there were only two employees running the entire restaurant. There was a wait to be seated, a delay in getting our food, and another wait when it was time to pay. But honestly, we didn't mind given the circumstances. The restaurant didn't have the heater running, so eating inside felt like we were dining outside in the snow. Despite that, the waiter was friendly and attentive, doing the best he could while juggling everything. I absolutely love Red Lobster's biscuits. They were warm, buttery, filled with cheddar, and completely addictive. I ordered the Lobster Lover's Duo, and everything was delicious. I was so full I didn't even have room for dessert.

    Disappointing Dinner Experience…read more We stopped by Red Lobster in Sevierville, TN during peak dinner hours and were surprised to see only a few cars in the lot--should've taken that as a sign. Our waitress was friendly, but clearly stretched thin trying to cover both the bar and tables. As a result, service suffered--our drinks were only refilled once, and that was right as we were finishing up. Unfortunately, the food didn't redeem the experience. It lacked flavor and tasted like it might've come straight from the freezer. Not sure if this location is just off its game or if Red Lobster overall isn't what it used to be. We won't be rushing back anytime soon.

    "Likely the best wings I've eaten."…read more When my niece suggested Craven Wings, I was a little uneasy, but we were there to visit her college, so off we went. I was impressed on entry - everyone was extremely friendly, even the customers greeted us. We placed orders, and visited for a while. Next thing I knew, huge amounts of food were being placed on our table - the wings are made as you order them - none frozen. I was accustomed to the flash fried variety at one of the chain restaurants back home. This was NOT a frozen/fried wing. This was a carefully breaded, fresh-fried wing, shaken in a really nice sauce, served with a curly french-fried potato string. Just a really good meal. I was afraid ordering just 10 was going to leave me a little hungry - nope. I barely finished all 10, and I remain impressed with them. Everyone in our party had a really good meal, and I truly look forward to the next time we're down in Johnson University country so I can get back to Craven Wings! A "Strongly Recommended" from this guy!

He got the chicken sandwich grilled with side of fries and 6 winless wings mild. Teriyaki wings were good but super saucy. Onion rings i was disappointed, to salty and some of them were asking of the purple onion. You take a bite all the batter falls off. His grilled chicken sandwich he liked however the bun is huge and the chicken small not worth the price. Bonless.mild he really enjoyed. Fries were soggy very disappointed. Service was amazing of course but food could use some help.

    Stopped in while road-tripping and looking for a nice dinner after spending way too many hours in…read morethe car. The food and atmosphere were both great, but honestly the highlight of the meal was our server, Brayden. He was just the absolute definition of a nice young man. Not the super-polished, script-perfect kind of server who makes you feel like you're watching someone who's done the same routine a thousand times, but someone who was genuinely warm, kind, and earnest. Every interaction felt sincere. When my iced tea got low, he'd quietly bring me a fresh one before I had to ask, and he looked almost apologetic that it had gotten low at all. He had this way of making it feel like he was personally hosting us and genuinely wanted us to be comfortable. There was a little bit of endearing newness, too. Instead of silently making things happen, he'd stop by to let us know our appetizer would be out before the steaks, just because he wanted to keep us informed. It wasn't inexperience so much as someone who really cared about doing a good job. He was incredibly sweet, attentive, and authentic, and that kind of service is memorable. 11/10 for Brayden--we'd happily ask to sit in his section again. The food was very enjoyable, we had: -the shrimp cocktail appetizer (excellent bite to the cocktail sauce) -salads (weirdly great, just a normal house salad but one of the better ones I've had) -ribeyes with sides (steaks were correctly medium rare, I would have loved having a smaller ribeye on the menu as well as the existing 14oz, I ordered mine with the horseradish crust which was tasty, though without the crust the underlying steak itsself was a touch under seasoned, the creamed spinach was great and the baked potato was flawless) -bread was fresh and pleasant, though the slight sweetness is not something I especially love, but that's just a style thing -chocolate mousse cake was both massive and absurdly, ridiculously good Total before tip was $125, well worth it, and I'm only sad they haven't expanded to Texas yet.

    It was just ok. Prime rib lacked flavor. The creamed horse radish helped it, but it was kinda like…read moreboiled beef. Next time I will try the rib eye. Server was excellent, atmosphere was excellent And my wife's chicken was good. Clean restrooms with paper towels.

    Cracker Barrel in Sevierville, especially Lexi and Justice, deserves a big shoutout!…read more Vibes: I love the decor at every Cracker Barrel. Their country-folk, rustic American theme is always so charming. Service: The service, particularly at this dinner, was outstanding! We visited on two consecutive mornings for breakfast and were greeted cheerfully by Lexi and Justice. They were warm, friendly, and prompt. Food: This Cracker Barrel is my favorite breakfast spot when traveling. I love their menu, portion sizes, and of course, the prices. On the first day, I had the "Good Morning Breakfast" with egg whites, sausage, fruit, crispy hash brown, and tomatoes. The eggs weren't greasy; they were simple, delicious, and nothing to complain about. On the second day, I decided to indulge and ordered the chocolate chip pancakes with their syrup. The pancakes came with a dollop of whipped butter. They were extremely fluffy with a beautiful golden crust, truly delicious. My husband ordered the Sausage & Egg Casserole, which he quietly relished. The portion was huge, but since I hate to waste food, I ate it all and considered it my lunch too. The mocha I ordered was also excellent; it was a perfect end to my meal. Cracker Barrel was a great start to my day, thanks to the wonderful staff and the tasty food.
