This restaurant was repeatedly recommended on social media, and the accolades are justified. When…read morewe arrived, they were packed! But the line to order moved quickly. Hubs ordered the Goodfella Pizza, with a couple of deletions, and loved it. I chose the Elana Ruz sandwich and it was glorious! Not exaggerating, that sandwich was such a delicious combination of flavors. We were able to find seats inside while we waited, and then hubs found a table outside right before our food was ready. The weather was delightful so we enjoyed sitting outside. We loved the overall vibe, although inside was a little loud. Their decor everywhere was so much fun! We also appreciated the drink refills as we headed out. As we left, we saw tons of parking in an adjacent lot, which I've noted for future visits. Mountain Goat Market is now definitely a must-do on our next trip to The Caverns.

We tried their muffaletta which is something we really love having visited New Orleans a few times. They did an excellent job replicating it. We also got a side of fried mushrooms and fried pickles which were made nice and piping hot and were crispy and delicious. The food was also reasonably priced. I recommend shenanigans for their fresh excellent food at good affordable prices with a nice relaxing vibe.

They had a nice fireplace going on outside due to chilly weather. Inside was a super cozy southern vibe kind of a place. There were a lot of music memorabilia on the walls. The live music was really good. Randy Finchum kicked off the music and played original and sometimes hilarious songs. He made sure to crack a lot of jokes and stories between the songs. For food we tried fried pickles, fried okra, fried brussels sprouts, and sausage with onions and peppers. Yep...no sight of greens but man was everything delicious. Also, they have cheap beers available but only in bottles. If you're in the mood for some good southern food with a cozy funky vibe then checkout Smoke House.

I can tell everyone first hand nothing gets clean there. When I was there for work the food gave…read moremy food poisoning so I stopped eating it and they don't fix anything that is broke. They let coolers and freezers get hot for weeks before they call for someone to fix it. If you ordered extra a lit of the times he would yell because he don't wanna waist food. They throw food that was already on a sandwich back in the tray with the new stuff if you say "never mind I don't think I want that" he owner is cheap and needs to know you can't run a business cheap. Trust me when I say IT'S NASTY !

The hours online and posted on the store stated they closed at 9:00 pm. I would not recommend visiting this location. It is distasteful when a chain restaurant can't provide reliable service or hours to customers-- especially off an interstate exit. Disappointing.

We tried Papa Ron's today and it was absolutely AMAZING!…read more There was not a single disappointment at our table. The food was a solid 10/10 from start to finish! Here's what we ordered: Blackened Alfredo - packed with flavor and absolutely delicious! Bang Bang Shrimp - my son gave it two thumbs up! Reuben Sandwich - my daughter loved it. French Dip - my husband said it was excellent. And for appetizers... Fried Pickles Fried Mushrooms Both were hot, fresh, and the perfect way to start the meal! If you're looking for a place with great food, generous portions, and something everyone in the family will enjoy, Papa Ron's is definitely worth the stop. We are not from around this area. I would drive back here just to eat! Waitress was very friendly and helpful. We didn't wait at all and was greeted as soon as we came in.

Craig knows his craft and even though I was a little disappointed in the tenderness of the steak the lamb was excellent and the veggies complemented both perfectly . The minestrone had in my opinion too much spice that overwhelmed the taste of the soups veggies , a glass of Rufino would have been great but Franklin county bureaucrats seem to want power over their citizens, you can bring your own in ? But restaurants can't sell it ? I gave it four stars due to their choice of meat suppliers , a better cut of steak is needed .

The first time we ate here, I actually…read morethought there had been a mistake on the bill because I couldn't believe we had gotten this level of food for the price. The food at La Bella Pearl is thoughtfully created and beautifully executed, with French and Cajun influences woven into a farm-to-table, mountaintop dining experience. Every dish feels intentional without ever feeling fussy. The restaurant itself is set inside a beautiful old home, which makes the experience feel less like going out to a restaurant and more like being welcomed into Chef Tom's home for an incredible meal. The service and atmosphere are warm, relaxed, and unpretentious. You could absolutely dress up for a special date night, but you would feel just as comfortable coming in casually. They do not sell alcohol, but you are welcome to bring your own bottle, and the corkage fee is one of the lowest I have ever seen. La Bella Pearl is a true gem. From the moment you pull up, it feels as though you have stumbled upon the pearl inside an oyster, tucked away on the mountain and waiting to be discovered. Do not sleep on this place. It is easily one of the best dining values I have found anywhere, and the kind of restaurant you almost want to keep a secret.
