We also had the cornbread pea salad, which was also very good. The meals come with cornbread. The drinks were great. They had specialty cocktails and would make anything we wanted. The service was good too. We sat inside, but I think it would be fun to be outside. We came with friends who are vegetarian and they didn't feel like they were very many options for them, although they did have the vegetarian pasta. Many of the sauces and dressings have bacon in them, so our friends couldn't order that.

The place was clean, well lit, and perfect for conversation over tasty food and beverages. We ordered chicken wings, and a pizza. It was all very tasty, the chicken wings were relatively large as well. Super flavorful and moist, yet fully cooked. Next time I stay in Townsend, this will be a must-visit location.

Whether…read moreyou've been hiking all day in the sun, tubing in the river, or cruising around Cades Cove, this is the place to refill and recharge. This was my first time here and I was very pleased. The menu is diverse, with chicken, pizza, beef tenderloin bites, soups and stew, salads, fries, great soft drinks and sweet tea. Photos of the menus are posted. The only thing they don't have is hamburgers/cheeseburgers but their food is flavorful and next time I will try the beef stew. They also have a craft brew selection for your perusal.

We were greeted right away and were able to take a table. Small dining area, with very limited seating. Nice warm cozy vibe including Bob Ross on the tv. The food came out quickly. Hot and fresh. I got the Snoring Bear Breakfast. I chose the Cajun seasoning for the tilapia and it was a lil bland. I probably could have asked for more seasoning, so that's on me. The rest was great. Eggs cooked to perfection. My wife chose the fish platter and she said the fish was delicious. The fries were a lil over seasoned and she had to rub some of the fries off. As for the drinks, cans of Coke, Sprite, etc are $1.99 each. A lil pricey but it is clearly marked on the menu. My only complaint is I ordered a water and was charged 50 cents. It's not listed anywhere on the menu, so I was surprised to see it on my bill. Overall, I would probably stop here again for a quick bite if I'm in the area. Nice little place, and the service is great!

Having a local source of meats would have made the dining experience even better. The dining room had the right touch of country. The ordering process is efficient with orders taken at the counter and food is delivered to your table. Customers are expected to bus their tables to disposals near the entry way, not unlike a fast food establishment. Like almost all establishment today, A tipping screen is built into the payment process. My tipping rule is - If I have to stand at a counter to order, I do not tip.

Pray over your food, and then enjoy every single bite if your hand pie before your food comes. Feel free to order another after your meal. Nice salads and sandwiches. Great service. The only ding in the service is that they wouldn't give me the recipe for the hand pies! I explained that they were the closest thing to my Great Aunt Ruby's hand pies I'd ever found and I needed that recipe. I explained that I was from Utah and would never be back again to enjoy their hand pies. I told them it was important to my family history to be able to make their recipe. No, ma'am. I could not talk them into divulging their recipe. I'm sad that u will never be that way again. If they put out a recipe book, I will be the first to order it.

We have been visiting Townsend for years and years, and we never went into the Subway. We noticed…read moreit was always there, even when several other restaurants had come and gone, Subway seems to have always been able to stay. So this is a typical Subway and has what you would expect at a Subway, bit this one has a special bonus. It also offers ice cream! They offer about 15 different flavors in a bowl or on a cone. There is outdoor and indoor seating. We stopped in for a treat and will return again for lunch! By the way it is all very affordable! The building itself seems to be showing some age, but it doesn't take away from the quality of the food or the great attitude of the team that runs the show here.

She put exactly what I needed on the sandwich. And apparently it has been awhile since I have been in Subway, but they have this new thing that you put the knives into and it cleans them right away, so that when your sandwich is sliced, there is nothing on there from the previous sandwich that was cut. That's huge for me because of all my allergies. So it's a win win for me. So I will definitely be back to this Subway time and time again. It's so rare to find great customer service and someone who is so conscious about food allergies and didn't roll her eyes when I asked her for a clean knife.
