    Shrimp and grits with pickled onions on top
    Amy L.

    This food was sooooo good! My hubby had the shrimp and grits. I didn't get a bite but he assured me to was wonderful. I had a bacon egg and cheese on Texas toast. The bacon was deliciously Smokey and those potatoes.....just perfect!

    Absolutely worth a visit! One of our favorite meals on our trip. The food was excellent. Loved we could get as much ice cold water as we needed.

    Steak & Egg Toast

    I'm SHOCKED that Simpl Cafe is not ranked higher on Yelp! Don't let this little "off the beaten path" restaurant fool you. Three of us had the best shrimp & grits we've ever eaten. My son had the steak & egg toast which was also incredible, BUT after sampling the shrimp & grits he said he would get it the next time we visited. His girlfriend is a celiac and had the gluten-free lemon loaf, which was better than any "regular" lemon loaf I've ever had. The outdoor dining along the Pigeon River was a welcome & quaint brunch setting after a long drive from Savannah heading home to Ohio. It is well worth the added few minutes off I-40. My sister-in-law has a cabin @ 45 minutes away in Pigeon Forge and we all said that it would be worth the drive to come back to get the shrimp & grits the next time we visited the cabin!

    Visited for the first time today. Was not disappointed. Customer service was wonderful as well as the food. Outdoor riverside option was beautiful. Highly recommend.

    House Burger

    Excellent Choice! Short drive off I-40. Passing through at lunchtime on a Friday. Welcoming , Friendly & Super Efficient staff offered suggestions on their fav's. And they were not wrong. The Aioli on the Double Bacon BLT is next level. The House Burger was juicy & spot on. Clean, Inviting & Cozy! We ate on the porch , taking in the view of the Pigeon River, although a warm day a slight breeze was present after a rain shower. Give it a try. No Regrets.

    Food was fresh and delicious. Will be great when it cools off a little to sit on the river while dining.

    Great food, perfect location. This is exactly what Newport needs! Upscale food on the river.

    First of all, let me begin by saying this was a trip to the bar area of this restaurant. I was in…read moretown visiting friends and they have a regular routine on Friday. They go to Aubrey's for drinks with friends they've met there who also have made this their favorite spot on Friday. Anyway, the bartenders Sid and Brian are friendly and great servers. If you enjoy a variety of beer types, Aubrey's has you covered. Ask for a taster of the PB&J beer. I know it sounds weird but it's actually pretty tasty. If you live nearby and feel the need to socialize and maybe meet a few new people, come to Aubrey's and ask for Sharon. She is one of the regulars and has never met a stranger

    I really wanted to like this place because the bartender was friendly, the Pacifico beer was ice…read morecold, and they have an excellent tap list. The crispy potatoes were also good, and the Parmesan spinach tasted okay. However, the meal ended up causing a severe health issue for both my husband and myself. I ordered the fish and chips and was highly disappointed by the food quality. It wasn't the thick, flaky pub-style fish with a light crust you expect; instead, it was thin, heavily breaded, and tasted like a frozen product. I didn't care for the lemon caper sauce or malt vinegar combination and only ate a few small pieces of fish and two bites of the spinach side. That dinner (along with morning coffee with cream) was all I had consumed that entire day. Around midnight, I woke up with agonizing stomach cramps and spent the next several hours alternately vomiting and dealing with severe diarrhea. It was a miserable experience! My husband only tasted a single piece of my fish to see what I meant about the quality, and he had the Parmesan spinach side with his own meal. On our drive home, he had to make an emergency restroom pitstop and suffered from loose stools multiple times through the night, too. Because the fish and the spinach were the only shared items between us, there was clearly a major food safety issue with one of them. Management needs to urgently investigate their seafood storage, handling, or spinach prep temperatures. Drink here for the cold beer, but be extremely cautious with the food!

    Restaurant is very nice walking in and staff very friendly…read more Hubs ordered the special for the night which was a hamburger, fries and a drink (beer included). He says is was great. He tried to finish it but was unable to. I had the steak bits and it was the worse meal I ever had. Steak was chewy, greasy and stringy. I got my three small bites out of it. Granddaughter ordered the kids chicken tenders and Mac and cheese. I think she got the adult version. It was extreme. She ate maybe three pieces of chicken and two bites of the mac and cheese. She's a Kraft Mac and cheese kid. I thought the Mac and cheese was good. Would have been better if it had a crust on it. The server was very apologetic about my meal and the manager. It was comped. What's funny is that we were in town for the USS Greeneville 30th reunion and our luncheon the next day was from Aubrey's and the steak bites were good. So go figure....

    Food was good, no complaints there. Waitress was practically non-existence. We were seated…read moreoutside and there was wads of dog hair on the table, I asked the server for a damp cloth so we could clean the table. Several minutes later the waitress showed up and picked the dog hair up with her fingers and threw it off and said well I guess the husky that was here last got it on there. She was very unprofessional and didn't seem to care. She said she could move us inside but we wanted to stay outside so we moved to the opposite side of the table but it still seemed unsanitary. We were mostly disappointed that they didn't offer to clean the table.
