Fried pickles
Brandon P.

As of this review, this was the third time I had come by the Butchers Pub. After the second time, I had said I wasn't interested in coming back but a group of us wanted to go after Frostie at the Bell Theater. The atmosphere is really good here and because of the ambience you think you're in for a good experience. For my first two trips, I tried their Chicken and Waffles. The chickens breading is so thick and fried for so long it becomes a challenge to eat. I tried it the second time thinking it was a one time thing because I've known people to boast the Butchers Pub as a good place to eat. The second time I think it was harder. This last time I went, we started with their fried pickles and then I had a burger and fries with Parmesan. The pickles gave us all a false sense of hope that we were in for a treat. They were cooked well, flavorful, and out of the kitchen in a timely manner. However, our food took over an hour to come out of the kitchen and a waitress came to us at one time and apologized. She said 12 orders came in at once and backed up the kitchen which we said we understood - until we saw two tables get served who came in after us. These two tables even left before we received our food. When the food did come, it was at varying temps. My food wasn't even warm while one of our groups fries were blistering. This disappointing experience culminated when I had to go fetch our tickets and ask for a box. Our group jokingly asked me how much they owed me for a tip because we had waited at least twenty minutes on a check. I wish I could say better things about this restaurant and I wish them well but my recommendation is to skip this one and eat Sauced instead or travel to Middlesboro, Cumberland Gap, or Harlan for better service and food.

Wow! The Butcher's Pub has come a long way since opening. I have to give it five stars because the improvements they have made. The service was great--I don't think my glass of water ever went below 1/2 full. The staff was extremely friendly. The Irish Nachos were out of this world. I would say get the hot sauce on the side though--I've learned from past experiences. Lastly, the 'Ole Smoky Moonshine limited time burger was ridiculously good. Each bite was jam-packed with flavor. Definitely my favorite place to eat in Pineville!

This is our second time visiting The Butchers Pub and to be honest the second time was just as "blah" as the first. First, the parking is exactly what you would expect from a small town eatery so no complaints there. Second, we did visit on a live music night and this is going to factor into my scoring, we sat as far away from the music as possible but it was still so loud there was no way to communicate with our table. The talent was mediocre, at best - just like the whole experience. We ordered an appetizer, fried pickles, and they were by far the highlight of this trip. The service here is never fast, we waited right at an hour and ordered nothing prepared special. I did have the burger of the week and it was so bland, it tasted like just meat and bun. To be fair I did have the fire roasted tomatoes left off and maybe that's where all of the flavor was?? Because it definitely wasn't on my burger. The other members in our party (4 adults and 1 child) reported their meals to be bland and their fries cold. All-in-all if you want a decent experience or an experience that has taste go somewhere else. You won't get it here.

Probably one of my favorite restaurants in the area, Rampant Lion is clearly a family-run business…read morethat focuses on making social connections over quick get-food-and-go. It's pretty cool. I would never come here if I was in a hurry, but if you have 2+ hours to eat and want good food in a storied place with staff who will treat you like friends, you're going to love the Rampant Lion. NOTES: -In rural TN, it should not surprise you, but be aware that they have Trump displays in the restaurant. -The restrooms are single stall and accessed from outdoor. They're indoor restrooms - just the door to access them is on the outside. (No porta potties) They're solidly clean - just make sure to pack clothing that works for the temperature outside because you might be dipping outside a few times. -Parking lot is small and gravel. Relatively easy to get in and out of though. -Amazing gin selection with staff that *clearly* knows their gins. -Adorable photos of the owners on slideshow of their trip to Europe on the wall. It's adorably and clearly a couple who was on a good vacation. We've had a good chunk of their menu at this point. Pretzels: Delicious beer chese AND delicious pretzels. Quite a bit of food with this too. Bread, Oil, & Vinegar: Wasn't super fond of this one. A ton of oil in a bowl made it hard to get the right oil-to-vinegar ratio. Chicken Pie: Deliciously breaded with super-tasty french fries too. Served piping hot, so it took a bit to be able to eat it without burning myself but a wait well-made. Reuben: Partner absolutely loved it and said the bread was the absolute perfect consistency. SO much meat in there too (though he said it could use a bit of extra dressing). Bubbles and Squeak: Delicious. Just delicious. Zero notes, you should eat it. Beanie Weenies: Home-made right in the restaurant! My favorite thing on the menu. Super savory, semi-healthy (beans...at least?), and served super warm. Comfort food at its finest. Menu in-restaurant was different than online one on a few things.

The Rampant Lion was an amazing surprise! Tucked away in the Glades Road area of Gatlinburg, it…read moredelivered the best restaurant meal I've had in a long time. The beef and mushroom pie with chips was savory and mouthwatering, with portions large enough for leftovers that reheated perfectly. The fish and chips were crispy and flavorful, cooked just right. A big selection of beer completed the authentic pub experience and paired perfectly with the hearty food. Every dish felt comforting and thoughtfully prepared, and the service matched the quality of the meal. This place is absolutely worth seeking out if you're visiting Gatlinburg.
