I'm happy to say the recommendations did not disappoint! The restaurant had a cozy, welcoming feel. Although we decided to order to go because of the rainy weather, the experience was still excellent. The staff member who helped us with our order was fantastic--she recommended several sides and sauces we wouldn't have chosen on our own, and they ended up being great additions. The food itself was incredible. Everything looked amazing, smelled even better, and tasted absolutely delicious. The portions were also larger than expected, which was a great bonus. Overall, it turned into the best rainy BBQ day I've ever had. I would definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

This place has quickly become one of our favorite brunch spots!

You can pick between several sides as well. I opted for the Curry chicken with Rice and beans. It was fantastic and great flavor without all the heat you expect in Thai food. When they gave me the Togo box I think it weighed 5lbs. Can't wait to try the oxtail. If you have tried all the grab n go chains in the area then give this small business a chance. I had a coconut water Jamaican drink and it was great, not a soda that is just loaded up with sugar and chemicals. A healthy refreshing drink. They had quite a variety of native Jamaican canned drinks and even canned coffee too. The Jamaican grocery in the rear of the building is loaded with bulk drinks, food and even authentic herbs and spices to make your own meals at home. If you are homesick for Jamaica you can get fixed up here. They can to do pickup also if you call in your order. Friendly staff!

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.

We stopped in here on our recent trip to the area as it has an outdoor dog friendly patio option…read moreand we were traveling with our Frenchie. It took a bit for our server to come acknowledge us but once he did, he was very helpful and attentive. My boyfriend ordered a peach Kentucky mule (they originally said they couldn't make that, which we questioned with it being a distillery, but our server came back and said they could after all). He enjoyed it and said it's one of the better ones he's had! We both ordered smash burgers and sweet potato fries - I had the junction 35 (pimento cheese + bacon jam) and he had the farmhouse (bacon + fried egg). Both were amazing! Juicy burgers, perfect size patties for smash burgers, the buns were fresh and held up nicely, and the toppings were great. Sweet potato fries had a great crunch and were seasoned really well. Service was great, food was high quality and had great flavor, and the dog friendly patio was perfect for our pup. It's located in a nice little strip of shops and restaurants, and has a common area of cornhole and other games that would be fun for an activity before/after dinner, or if you have kids in tow. We'd definitely make another trip here when in the area.

Well after…read moresearching for some dinner we came across this place and the reviews were good so we gave it a shot. Let's start with the good! Our waitress was super nice and attentive. The atmosphere was good as well. It was a nice vibe with the TVs and the large projector screen. They had one of the World Cup matches on so that was nice. My husband and I both order old fashions. He order the espresso and I ordered a smoked one. By far one of the best I've ever had. We had the fried green tomatoes and they were tasty, a little more pimento would have made them perfect. Now the bad. I'm not sure what all the other folks ate that left such great reviews, but I can only assume that none of them had the brisket Mac and Cheese. Because it was cold and there was zero flavor. I literally had to use the BBQ sauce to get some flavor in the food. The Mac and cheese tasted like the old school powder Kraft. My husband wasn't a fan of his burger because it had the same bad Mac and cheese on it. Needless to say as much as we visit the mountains this will be our one and only time at Junction 35.

Everyone had just been seated. It would have been a 45 minute wait. I had hoped maybe they would ask the couple if they would mind dining inside. We left and stopped at another business. It had been awhile since we were there so I called to see an outside table was available. They told me probably in 10-15 minutes. Knowing we had been there earlier and we had dogs, they wouldn't hold it for us. Food was great. Their tenderloin could easily serve 4 people. The fried deviled eggs are excellent!
